Warnock asked for three games to change the world. Then it was eleven. Then it was six wins out of nine. Now? Well let's stick with the number ten, the position Leeds are stuck in. Or seven, the points they are shy of play off qualification with eight games to play - and that's before Brighton play Crystal Palace tomorrow.
Of course, Leeds still have a chance. There would be no fun if the agony were over already. Warnock will still send out the battle cry. Nothing has changed. In fact Leicester are looking even more vulnerable, Bolton's magical run has ended and Miserablebrough continue to play like relegation certainties rather than promotion contenders. But Forest are all but there, as I predicted at the start of the season, and Leicester need just 12 points from 8 games to finish above Leeds, miracles excepted; and if Brighton win tomorrow then all bets will be virtually off.
Warnock has ballsed up, big time, but he won't see it that way. Some might say, never mind a statue, the guy needs to be sunk in concrete and then tipped into the Aire. But it's not Neil's fault! How could it be? Blame the referees, the assistant referees, Master Bates, eighteen year full backs and Carlos Tevez. In fact, blame Nostradamus, Karl Marx, Gordon Brown and Islamic Fundamentalism. No hang on, don't blame the Muslims, they now pay Neil's wages!
How shit are Leeds when all is said and done? I tried to be positive this morning, I tried to paint a picture of potential success, but at the end of the day, even with Leicester and Bolton losing, Warnock's Wonders still contrived to cock it up against a very, very ordinary Huddersfield team.
Thank God I didn't risk my winnings from Tuesday night. Instead I backed Villa to beat QPR. Happy days!
But don't lose heart all you Leeds fans. Six wins from eight games is all you need. Leeds can still do it!
We,ll be back. The cream always rises to the top,EVENTUALY...MOT
ReplyDeleteTry telling that to Preston North End and Newton Heath. Sometimes, as Master Bates knows, after you've shot your bolt, there's no getting up again!
DeleteLet's all laugh at Leeds.
ReplyDeleteHa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
We're not famous anymore!
DeleteLeeds. LOL
ReplyDeletewoeful leeds bring back oleary
ReplyDeleteCant argue with ya unfortunately we are Leeds and we are shit!! On a brighter note just got back from my honeymoon life's always a bit brighter in the sun :)
ReplyDeleteHeadmaster, welcome back! Its been so long since we heard from you. Rumors were that you had disappeared entirely up Hammersfan's backside and succumbed to the horrors of Romanian cooking, so it's good to know you are well.
ReplyDeleteDisplaying your usual panache and wit with these last two comments has showed us all what we have missed for so long.
I told you weeks ago, forget about the statue. Dead bird falling - THUMP!!!!. At least the suffering of one Leeds fan is over for this season.
ReplyDeleteIt's sad how right you are. As much as you love to bash Leeds, there is very little I can fault in this article, other than your slightly dodgy reference to the club owners. Does it matter what religion some of the owners may subscribe to?
ReplyDeleteThe season has been over for a while, and Warnock has looked more and more out of his depth. But this was never about Leeds for him, it was about his 8th promotion. And Michael Brown, for some reason.
ReplyDeleteSo as far as I can see you claimed to wager on one Leeds game in the last 4. This happened to be the one you predicted correctly with the other 3 wrong.
Why do we all get the feeling that your betfair winnings would have been announced if any of the other games had finished as you predicted?
I think you're a stranger to the truth
Predictable and not even news worthy , we al knew deep down that Gfh had other plans for the future without warnock , they didn't give him anything in Jan and the writing was on the wall then , Adkins will be lined up for next season and will be given the funds in the summer to build a team to match anything in the championship , we'll never die you stupid cockney tosser
ReplyDeleteMORE MUSLIM RACIST ABUSE TO REPORT.......THANKS.
ReplyDeleteIt could be worse, could have been a west ham fan....mot
ReplyDeleteAs much as it pains me to say it but you've been spot on all season .
ReplyDeleteIs it Leeds you hate? Or Warnock? Or both? Hate is a very destructive force.
ReplyDeleteThat Habibou is proving to be a right find isn't he, headmaster?
ReplyDeleteWell that's another year of my life I can't get back.
I am a massive Leeds fan and as always you are right on the money here HF. Your vast knowledge of all things Leeds is truly second to none. As a massive Leeds fan I think that you appreciate the problems of our club much better that real massive Leeds fans and it is great that you post these insightful blogs sometimes three times in one day to show us where our club has gone wrong. I realise that you could probably make better use of your time having a proper life and supporting your own club, however please keep educating us poor Leeds fans.
