Warnock's Long Goodbye At Leeds

First he wanted three games to change the world; now he wants another eleven. After last night's cruel draw, Old Big Gob was moaning about the referee yet again but suggesting that, despite the six point gap to Brighton and four point gap to Nottingham Forest, Leeds can still do it!

The team, apparently, go in to every game believing they can win it, presumably by a one goal margin given the lack of goals. Warnock's not sure if they will make it to the playoffs, but they are going to give it their best shot (with shot in the singular per game!).

It's six games out of ten at home after Saturday says Neil. Not that this should matter as the team believes it can win, "every game" so the venue really should be irrelevant. But it sounds to me as if Warnock is discounting the game at Palace, maybe fearing a reverse. Maybe that's why he is talking of 11 games before the curtain comes down on his career?

Warnock's words were:

"I think Leicester will be glad to have come out of the game with a point. There should have been two free-kicks in the build-up to the goal. The last time I felt like this was at Bristol City three years ago and it cost me three grand after I'd been on the telly so I have to be careful what I say. But I was disappointed with the consistency tonight and that's all you ask for."

"Whether we can still get into the play-offs I don't know but we have six out of 10 at home after Saturday and these lads are going into every game thinking they can win. It might be the last 11 games of my career but I'm going to enjoy them."

    1. Keep the faith. As Joe Hart says, even if you are 12 points behind with one game left to play, you have to believe you can do it!

    1. What are you talking about? There were only 17,717 at the game! That is an appalling gate for such an important game. Still, lots of Leeds fans probably preferred to watch their second favourite team, Manchester United, on TV!

    1. I copied and pasted Warnock's words. You wouldn't want me to make them up would you? Can you find the rest of the article commenting on those words anywhere else on the Web?

      Delete
    2. You make everything else up, why change now?

      Warnock..'Judge me on my next three games'

      HF's translation..'Give me three games to change the world'...

    3. my point is-i can read the interview on the leeds website or vital leeds and not have to put up with sarcastic jibes from someone who knows nothing about football.i keep coming here mostly just to abuse you but im hoping someday you will write an article that i find interesting and we can have a proper debate about it

  6. Yes Leeds do go into every game believing they can win it and yes they do still believe 6th place is more than possible. It's really great to have a team like that to support.
    Season still alive and interesting and exciting.

    How pleased I am that I don't support West Ham

    2. The premier League is far more predictable than any other league - bit like Big Sams tactics and Brookings bail out

      Leeds's season has fizzled out miserably
      and the player Warnock brought in havent been able to clog

  15. is your idea of support doing that thing you do,where you pretend to go to games then give your players marks out of 10?

    ReplyDelete
  16. Ground share with Leyton Orient? In that awful stadium? Bad luck, still it should give you something else to obsess about!

  26. No wonder everyone regards Leeds fans as the most worst football fans... So arrogant! I reckon the West Ham fan just writes his blogs about Leeds because the reaction the Leeds fans give him. If Leeds fans ignored his blogs then he wouldn't write any articles about Leeds! To be fair to the Hammers fan, Leeds fans are notorious dick head's & live life in their own bubble! There's plenty of other big clubs with rich history & success other than just Leeds in the Championship!
