Some of us hate Watford more. It's an 80s thing &, no, it's not related to their ex-chairman's fudge-packery.

Sheep, sheep, sheep, sheep! C'mon ya dirty Northern monkeys!!

Watford 1-0 up after half an hour - I'm another of those who would like to see Leeds lose, traditionally dirty and underhand side.

As if any evidence was needed, two blatant elbows by L££ds players already picked up by the cameras. They usually go in with Plan B to start with; try to play some football but don't discourage the odd act of violence. Fully expect them to revert to Plan A soon, which is kick the **** out of the oppo and win with nine men, as they did in the semi.

****s.

David Dein says the CDMs turned down two £50m bids for chief poseur... Hmmmmm.

Somewhat dubious, but anyway whatever they ended up turning down they're barmy - they could get 2 forwards that don't bottle it on the big occasion, plus a decent backup keeper and an attacking midfielder. Still if the CDMs are satisfied with being also-rans, then by all means keep chief poseur and continue to rack up 5 or 7 goals against rubbish opposition that they'd beat anyway and then draw a blank or if they're lucky score one in the big games against the big teams.

Thinking of watching The Dambusters in a bit - just for the theme song. Come on - sing along with me, you all know the words...

We all hate Leeds and Leeds and Leeds,
Leeds and Leeds and Leeds and Leeds and Leeds and Leeds and Leeds,
We all f***ing hate Leeds....

Second verse same as the first.

Next year, someone ought to do it as the British entry into the Eurovision Song Contest.

I'm pretty sure that the hatred of DLUFC is universal, so it'd probably be the first song to win unanimously

And you doubt him why exactly?

Because it makes your pathetic ramblings seem as stupid as they actually are?

Nobody's that stupid that they'd turn down £50 million for a player like him who's nearly 29 and then give that same player a 4 year contract when they rely massively on pace... chief poseur probably has one (or two if he's lucky) typical flat track bullying season(s) left in him and then after that he'll be in and out with injuries and his goal scoring will drop off as he finds it harder to fill his boots against even the rubbish sides.

No, they realise that he's worth more to them than the money because he can do things no other player can.

Scoring goals at the rate he does whilst providing so many others is something that no other player on this planet can do - simple fact, and the more you protest the stupider you look.

If he's so good why do France struggle to score goals? Why is his record for France as you admitted yourself 'nowhere near top drawer'? If he's so good why did the CDMs struggle to score goals in Europe and against decent sides in the Premiership? If he's so great why did he miss two sitters against Barca? These simple facts you've never answered because you can't. The guy does not have the bottle or nerve for goals in the big games against the big teams. It's a shame he didn't stay as a winger or play somewhere else in midfield - he could have been a world class midfield player instead of being just a good club forward.

Well Jose Mourinho's best mate Johan Cruyff is of the opinion that Henry has made a 'great career opportunity' by not joining Barcelona.

Figured he would say that.

Why did Shearer fail to score for an entire year whilst playing for England?
Why did Shearer fail to score many in Europe?
Isn't Shearer the best forward the Premiership has seen so far?
If Van Nistelrooy is so amazing, why has he been forced onto the bench?

Point is - not every striker can be expected to score with every shot.

It would be like expecting Shane Warne when bowling in a pretty good spell to pick up a wicket every ball.
