Well according to The Yapping Post appointed "Leeds Legend", Brendan Ormsby, the 'White Pig' is sailing into calmer waters after McDermott has 'steadied the ship', though Leeds fans will be praying this isn't the doldrums. Stormy waters are preferable to being becalmed in the middle of nowhere!
Back to back defeats have put the McDermott effect firmly into context. He arrived with a mop to wash down the decks in an attempt to make everything look spic and span and demanded that every member of the crew be given an additional ration of grog to ensure smiling faces, and for a week or so, everything went to plan - but a record of two defeats from four games, three of which were at home, does not bode well for the future. There's no point in everybody 'heading in the same direction' if it is the wrong bloody direction! And if a few Seagulls shit on your plans, what's going to happen when you come face to face with a whale?
Of course, it is far too early to pass judgement on Commander McDermott, so you have to wonder why so many have been in such a rush to do so. Thus far, in terms of results, Leeds are no better under Nice Guy Brian than they were under the Warnock, but you wouldn't think it reading the eulogies. It's apparently a feather in his cap that Leeds avoided relegation, but that was never really a possibility who ever was standing on the burning deck.
The real work starts after next week's game. How many of the present crew will still be on board come the start of the new season and will GFH Capital offer more than the King's Shilling for anybody else to climb aboard? What about Cabin Boy Sam? Can Commander McDermott retain his services or will Pirate Patel demand he walks the plank to Manchester City? And talking of planks, what do you do with Brown, Varney, Peltier and co, because the majority of the Warnock's recruitments are not fit to go to sea in a bath tub, never mind in a gorgeous galleon.
It promises to be a fascinating summer, and like the spirit of the Albatross, I will be with you guys as the White Pig sets sail on her latest adventure! Mind that iceberg! Ship ahoy! Thar' she blows! (Oh no sorry, that's Commander Pardew with a player's wife at Newcastle!)
Give it a rest you obsessive tosser - And do us all a favour, Warnock has gone so please support a new team next year

Rather be Leeds than racist scum.
We've even got green stuff up here, what are they called, fields. Yes fields....countryside...natural beauty instead of tower blocks, ghettos, graffiti in scumland.
Let's have a look at that list again and see if Leeds are on it.....erm...nope....still not there.
Truth hurts.
Quite witty for once! Which one is you in the picture?
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking such an interest..... The head of ship is a captin not a commander
ReplyDeleteso hf,which one are you,chas or dave,theres a pint riding on this
ReplyDeleteChas and Dave are Spurs fans!
Deleteso are you pal
Deletehes alf garnetts love child
ReplyDeleteThe silly moo said she was on the pill!
DeleteSo is Alf Garnet .
ReplyDeleteSorry, you are wrong there. Alf was a West Ham fan. Johnny Speight, his creator, is a second cousin of my mother and many in the family insist Alf is based on my grandfather, but there were, of course, millions of Alfs in the East End when Speight created him. The actor Warren Mitchell is, of course, a Spurs fan.
DeleteCareful HF - if that is true then you are edging closer to reveal your identity as the champion of Jew hating racist scum.
DeleteSo....mother is Johnny Speight's second cousin is she?
The net is closing.
[thought most likely this is bull-poo as you're nothing more than a jobless virgin Mr Bean lookalike with a keyboard that is strangely jammed up]
alf was a west ham fan.he was also a bigot so that means you have two things in common hf!
DeleteIm so glad,ur going to be with us this summer.it almosts brings a tear to my eyes.i bet though,as soon as the mighty whites gather momentum,we wont hear from you again.or will we cockney boy.??????????????
ReplyDeleteOh come on Till Death Do Us Part!
Delete75 articles in April. I'm betting at least 30 are about, or are in some way connected to, Leeds. Don't see many about West Ham though
ReplyDeleteWhy guess? Count! Or can't you count? For West Ham articles, go to the West Ham site. Honestly! We may have found Leeds United's thickest fan Ken!
ReplyDeleteYeah the West Ham is site is the one that nobody bothers with....sometimes West Ham articles get above THREE comments! not surprising that all your energies lay with a proper team LUFC.
DeleteI am sure you will come back with loads of predictable stats - saying WH's blog gets 4.2 billion hits whilst Leeds only gets 8 hits a year....
All said, I am a fan of yours, get bored with the other blogs including the Leeds ones which don't really challenge anyone or anything. Sometimes it takes an outsider to see things as they really are.
See you next season......
take care
To be honest 1241 I think you're being a bit soft on HF. I haven't seen a single West Ham article on this site of his since probably before last Xmas. Time to give up this ridiculous obsession with Leeds and start following your own boring club.
DeleteTwonk
DeleteWhy would a Leeds fan go to your West Ham site? I know you're desperate for more hits on it but, frankly, nobody cares about West Ham and so it's a futile request. Far better you concentrate on being a Leeds cheerleader. You're a bit rubbish at it just now but with hard work and application you might one day be accepted by us. Keep trying.
Deleteno one reads the ones on the west ham site though do they?
ReplyDeleteI only feel contempt for West Ham. A corrupt establishment club, that addreeses itself as the 'academy of football' only deserves contempt
ReplyDeleteseaman stains
ReplyDeleteyour holiday must be going well....chill out and have some fun.
ReplyDeletecan you tell me how many rants you have posted regarding are great club since the start of the season? i want to try and work out the approx time per week you spend observing are great club.
ReplyDeletebut don,t forget to have fun.....your on holiday.
ReplyDelete11 ramblings since you went on holiday.....when you lied 2 weeks ago about the leeds game against wensday...you said it was on telly but it never was...anyway you said you had better things to do than watch leeds so you went to the park........wellsurely your on holiday you must have something better to do than rant and rave at your p.c while your on holiday....chill out,go dancing,have a meal and talk about starting a family..it,s never to late...thank me later...but relax your coming across a bit stressed.
ReplyDeleteget a bottle of pinot and chill and stop reading this rubbish....your on holiday relax...go naked,make love in the sand....think about my idea about starting a family...i,m here to help.
ReplyDeleteI see the good ship "Humour" has left port and you've set sail in the old barge "Laboured Metaphor" for this one HF. 10 out of 10 for obsessive behaviour though.
ReplyDeleteWhy, being a west ham united "supporter" and blogger, have a "site for west ham" and a site purely about Leeds united? At the start of the season you claimed it was because of your hatred for Neil warnock, who left 4 weeks ago.. So why carry on writing about Leeds? Obviously a pathetic attempt to wind Leeds fans up.. What goes around comes around, Leeds have had a horrible time of it, and believe me tides will change.. And we will continue to NEVER care about west ham united.. Says a lot about your club if you resort to having two sites and write more articles about the team 300 miles north and a division lower than your team.. Very very sad
ReplyDeleteWhy do we want to read about wet spam ???? You thick twat .
ReplyDeleteWhy are you getting so upset by 12;41 words,is it because he as just smashed a large hammer onto a small nail?
ReplyDeleteI now know why you were crying about 12;41 remarks,it,s because he is spot on -75 rants,30 connected to leeds.Thats a lot of ranting about a team you do not support.I think you should say sorry.
ReplyDeleteplus 1....that makes it 31....i really do think you should say sorry...it will ease the stress that you seem to be under.....why did you stay up late last night or early morning[i don,t know your whereabouts on your holiday] and go through all the remarks made by leeds united fans...honestly it is sad....gosh man your on holiday leave your cares behind....there must be better things to do in the early hours of the morning while your on holiday than research a championship club.....westhamutdonceproudclub are safe....you have had a good year....so why are you so unhappy while on your holiday?
