Bloody hell, talk about hyperbole! Or hyper bollocks in this case! Use the words Leeds Legend and you think Billy Bremner, Eddie Gray, Norman Hunter, Don Revie, Johnny Giles, Sniffer, Jack Charlton, Terry Cooper, Peter Lorimer, Terry Yorath and Neil Warnock but Brendan Ormsby? By what perverse definition of the word is Brendan Ormsby a Leeds Legend?
How many games for the club? 57! How many trophies won when with the club? None. Most abiding memory for Leeds fans? His mistake against Coventry in the semi-final of the FA Cup!
Surely the Yorkshire Post should be done under the Trades Descriptions Act! Ormsby was born in Birmingham and if he is anybody's legend, he is a Villa legend, but that would be pushing it given he only played 117 games for the club! A legend at Pontefract Collieries is the truth of the matter!
Mind you, Ormsby could be a comedy legend too! His latest suggestion to take over at Leeds? Alan "Turds" Curbishley no less, the man who has been out of the game for so long since his departure from West Ham that younger fans say, "Who?"
Curbishley? The guy was a specialist at little old Charlton, managing a club with zero expectations and specialising in staying one step ahead of the drop. Is this what Leeds need? Has the club really fallen so far? Well according to Ormsby, Poyet and Zola wouldn't be interested because Brighton and Watford are much more likely to be in the Prem next season! Charming! A great way to endear yourself to Whites fans still dreaming of a charge into and through the playoffs.
Ormsby a Leeds legend? If I keep this blog going, the Yapping Post will call me a Leeds legend before we know it! Hang on, there's a thought, never mind that Warnock statue, build a statue of Hammersfan outside Elland Road!
Your a true legend HF!!
ReplyDeleteYes I like that. A hammersfan statue outside ER, a knob blowing bubbles out of the end of it!!!
ReplyDeleteCorrect on everything ...except the statue!
ReplyDeleteExcellent post HF, some of yours are priceless, the YEP is increasingly out of touch with Leeds fans, has a reputation for copying and pasting other peoples articles and when the do manage to write one themselves its utter bull5hit. Keep up the good work, I like a bit of banter and I know you're often tongue in cheek. Sad at times that some of us get the hump over your posts.
ReplyDeletewell done , keep blowing them bubbles.. Brendan Ormbsy is as near to being a leeds legend as tresor kandol was !!!
ReplyDeleteyeh put a statue of you up an write on it once a bubble blowing arsehole hammers fan now a super leeds fan you know it meks sence mot......
ReplyDeleteProof, if it were ever needed how out of touch/date this armchair hammer is. Week in,week out, since Ormsbys column began everyone has either complained or took the piss out of The YEP,s insistence on referring to him as a legend. Due to a serious lack of contact with blighty and terminal loneliness,armchair hammer not content with scraping the bottom of the barrel has begun scraping underneath. As a football blogger he makes a good toilet attendant.
ReplyDeleteSo bitter! It rankles when Leeds fans praise the site so much doesn't it? Of course I have seen the stupid label before, but Ormsby has never said anything quite so stupid as suggesting that Turds should succeed Warnock!
DeleteI would love it, really love it, if Turds was unveiled as your next manager. I truly loath the guy for walking out on West Ham as a player, claiming Birmingham were a bigger club! God, that's like a player walking out on Leeds claiming Norwich are a bigger club. Hang on, a few players have done that recently haven't they?
Like Clough, Venables and Warnock before him Leeds United is too big a club for Alan Curbishley I'm afraid, so would have to agree.
DeleteYawn
ReplyDeleteHF is a legend...
ReplyDeleteIf we did get Alan 'Turds' Curbishley, who would be his number 2?
ReplyDeletePMSL
DeleteOrmsby is a leg...end.thats about it.couldnt lace bremners laces
ReplyDeleteTurds? Who's the bitter one really? Grow up cretin.
ReplyDeleteFor someone claiming to be a west ham fan living abroad how the hell do you know so much about the YEP ? Yes you can read it on line but why would you want to ? you are a bullshiter HF , your obsessed with Leeds united , i think you were abused as a child and all this is some form of therapy your shrink has recommend you do to take away the nasty thoughts you have about the bad man , that's the truth isn't it ? Your really Richard from cleckheaton , a sad lonely wierdo who's only contact with the outside world is through this blog and his weekly trip to see his shrink , its alright Richard , you'll be ok , the bad man isn't going to hurt you anymore , jimmy's dead now
ReplyDeleteAny chance we might just submerge you in concrete and place you next to Billy's Statue?
ReplyDeleteYou are a legend hammers fan....your constantly top of the wankers premier league.BELL END
ReplyDeleteBut But Birmingham are bigger that WANK SPAM ???
ReplyDeleteLeave HF alone, you don't have to read his blog!
ReplyDeleteI think he knows alot about soccer and promotes lively debate, if you read his last couple of posts he's been very objective and fairminded about Leeds.
and (12.10) even though you insulted him he still had the balls to publish your post! Your references to "child abuse" are uncalled for and makes one ponder "who" has the "obsession" ??
Perth Whites
well stated! leeds fans don't need ignorant people like 12.10
DeletePosting on your own blog as a neutral again HF?
DeleteTit
ReplyDeletewell you would not want to paint yourself in the colours of truth would you.
