QPR v Leeds - Clash of the second tier Titans!

So this is the big one! Leeds have punched their weight against all comers thus far, but now there is a belt at stake and a stronger chin will be called upon to withstand the ex Premiership punches.

Favourite backers will push the case for the Hula Hoops but the omens for the Reverend's choir boys are good. 'Arry  'as a complex. West Ham's record against Bastard United is dreadful, as all you Leeds fans delight in telling me, and I genuinely suspect that former 'Ammer manager and player 'Arry in in awe of Revie's boys.  Why else talk up the club unless he is scared of losing?

Sensibly, the Wheeler Dealer Dog Financier Extraordinaire should be banging the "Has been" drum, playing upon all sorts of insecurities and touching nerves that this blog presses almost by the day. Like it not, and Leeds fans detest it, history counts for sod all. Just ask Manchester City and Chelsea! And Preston North End for that matter!

Great club? For two narrow windows of the last century sure, but little old Lithuania once had an empire extending across the best part of North East Europe! Time waits for no man, as they say, not even a man of the cloth like Reverend McDermott.

And player for player, QPR should piss all over Leeds. McDermott dreams of having a striker of the calibre of Johnson, Austin or Zamora, and Redknapp has all three! I'm no fan of Green, but at least he has to spread himself to block a shot, unlike Podgy who just breathes out and fills two thirds of the goal without moving a muscle. And so it goes on.

But QPR will arrive angst ridden courtesy of Redknapp's outdated awe for the ultimate All Our Yesterdays club, whilst McDermott will be telling his team that, with faith, you can climb any mountain. And I back passion and belief to overcome superior skill and mega expenditure. Correct score for tomorrow? My money's on a 2-1 win for Leeds!

  5. This must be a really shit time for you!
    You hoped we couldn't bring in players....we did.
    You sat there waiting for Ross to be sold (even said Mowbray was bullying us) ..... Ross signed a new contract today.
    You can't wait for us to lose a game at which point your keyboard will be on fire.
    Be patient son, we'll lose one eventually and you can have a go then.

  6. Hate the cynical comments & poor narrative. But I do like the prediction. I'm not really sure why you spend your sad life writing blog after blog- What is your motive?

    3. It's Jack the parrot, sits on the shoulder and agrees through 1-liners, except Jack is a dummy of course. The answer to the question is incitement to hatred - you only have to look at half the responses here to see that is the case!

      Delete
    4. LOL I must admit to being intrigued by Jack myself. Appeared all of a sudden, always very positive about this blog, very unusual! You guys won't believe me, but Jack is not an alter ego of mine.

  12. That's better HF. Your recent Leeds love ins have made me a little uncomfortable like watching a fat unwashed, unmarried uncle getting a bit too close to his nieces at a wedding. It's a pity for you (and for your comedy value) that as each day goes by there is less and less to laugh about at our famous, preserved in aspic club. Have to agree though that everyone's favourite barrow boy never fails to try and butter us Leeds fans up.

  13. Just lolz at this blog. Always entertaining. Still agree with the 2-1 M.o.T

    2. Had to laugh at that one (09.41) good to have a sense of humour!
      My girlfriend is currently sitting on my lap in "The Old Peacock" off in 10 mins..will be back later if you(09.41) wish to be introduced??

      Delete
    3. why would I want to be introduced to your "sitting on your lap" girlfriend? maybe you want me to kiss her arse while you kiss hammersfans? come on, you can tell me, you don't really have a girl friend do you? well, not one that needs inflating anyway. p.s, I wont tell your mum that your "girl friend" lives in the bottom of your wardrobe under a pile of your dirty laundry.

  16. I told u ross was going nowhere cockney boy.u can put it to bed now.

  17. Exactly, what is your motive? Other than blatantly inciting hatred? Now if you wrote first and foremost about your own club, whilst indulging in a bit of banter with other clubs, that would be seen as such. But your obsession with baiting Leeds is simply psychotic to the point that you write more posts about us that West Ham. Why?

  18. You said Ross McCormack would be going mystic meg!

  19. Hope you get your money back from the 1-0 to Leeds bet you made on the Ipswich game(remember the one you bragged you had predicted correctly)
    News flash - Ross is staying - News flash,- wrong again HF
    Enjoy this clash of the Titans.

    Oh and Player for player West Ham should have pissed all over Cheltenham!

  20. Another good little read , I actually think I'm the only Leeds fan that enjoys your blogs, people are too sensitive these days , a bit of light hearted banter goes a long way .
    I hope your correct with your score line and we do tend to play better against the so called better teams .

  23. I suspect Jack and Hammersfan are not the same person as Jack does not appear to know when to use your and you're. Could be writing like that to throw us of the scent though...

    ReplyDelete
  24. Since you ARE such a grammar buff (12.06), how about sticking an extra "f" on "of"
    and while you're doing that perhaps precede the said word with a word also beginning with "F"

    Definitely OFF the scent!.....
