Leeds United's traitor! (for footie fans)

Purple Light · 11 Feb 2007, 13:45

No wonder we are in such a mess when stuff like this is going on...

I can only hope Stephen Crainey is the culprit!

I heard it was a player on trial?, who ever it was wants jumping on.

Footie.....leeds united.....I'm sorry Alister, I'm not getting the connection.

Nice to see you won yesterday though, it'll be good to stay in the fight to stay up til the last match, hopefully the last minute, before you get sent packing. Just to keep you all as excited as possible for as long as possible, you understand.

You are a total and utter bastard, Dave!!

I do love the irony of this story. For years one of the nations most hated clubs ( due to the fact they used to whip the arses of anyone and everyone on and off the pitch back in the 1970's ( who can forget the trouble they caused in Paris in the 1974- 1975 final!!) whose chairman is that loathsome Ken Bates and now managed by one of the most despicable men ever to lace up a pair of football boots, Dennis Wise. The man who most remember as that dirty little player from Wimbledon F.C who went on to punch and break the jaw of fellow Leicester City player, Callum Davidson - while he was asleep.

In past years you look at the team Leeds had up until recently : Woodgate, Ferdinand, Alan Smith, Lee Bowyer, Mark Viduka, Harry Kewell,
Jimmy Floyd Hasselbank.. and even Eric Cantona. But the team is in freefall with 'big time Charlies' all pledging the allegiances to the club one minute and the next day boarding a train to cross the Pennines. I used to like Leeds as a kid, they played hard and they were 'Reet proper Yorkshire men, born n t'bre- honest as t'days long' But now, they have sunk to the level of selling themselves to the opposition for thirty bits of silver.

Yes, it's undeniably wrong to hand over your team sheet to the opposition before the kick off and maybe give them the advantage, but let's face it - we're talking about Leeds United of 2007 - You only have to actually turn up against them these days to glean the three points

Sad But true.

Unless you're Crystal Palace eh? keep up Ramone.

I must say I did chortle when I heard it on 5 Live yesterday. I've never forgiven you lot since you ripped all the seats out at the Baseball Ground.
That's the ex-home of the Campionship leaders Derby County in case you didn't know.

Well spotted that man!

...And

Nail the b*stard

Purple Light · 12 Feb 2007, 15:08

Current rumours seem to be pointing the finger at either Graham Stack, Shaun Derry or (god I hope not) Alan Thompson. Couldn't care less who it is though, they need a good kicking if they've done what's being accused.

Wasn't it Dennis Wise?

Can't say I'd be distraught if it was...

The suspense is killing me. I need to know who this b*stard is!!!

BBC Radio Leeds tonight from 19:00, I think - Q&A with LUFC staff including Lash, with Eddie Gray and Adam Pope. I wonder what the main subject will be..?

I said ages ago that Leeds would be promoted back to the Premiership before a new Sisters album. I still stand by it

Rumour has it that it was Shaun Derry. He used to play for Palace...

Rumour also has it that Palace's manager complained that half the names were wrong anyway.

Purple Light · 13 Feb 2007, 16:57

Shaun Derry's agent has said this today ;

"Shaun went to Palace's hotel the night before the game to see old friends and attended the game, but people have wrongly assumed he is to blame because he used to play for Crystal Palace."

"We have had no contact from Dennis Wise and Leeds whatsoever. It would be best for Leeds to make it clear who the player is, then these rumours can stop."

I think Derry has, intentionally or maybe accidentally let something slip. If it wasn't Derry then you think Wise would have the decency (Wise & decency... words don't match up do they

) to at least give him a call & assure him it wasn't him.

Personally, I think Derry's said something unintentionally & that Wise has blown it all out of proportion.

Spelt wrong?

Purple Light · 14 Feb 2007, 14:04

& it rumbles on...

Leeds' Chief Exec said on the radio last night that Leeds United do not know who the player is! Even Dennis Wise doesn't know!

They know something happened, & Peter Taylor confirmed to Wise in a phone call that a Leeds player had blabbed & said some bad things about us but that's it.

So Wise with his big mouth saying the player will never play for Leeds again is a load of old b*llocks really as he might play this weekend if its not come to light by then.

(I still think its Shaun Derry...)
