LE_Ram Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 So Snake City play the Dirties this afternoon. Was planning on watching this before I realised I can't really cheer either team on ? Anyone else think of any such matches where you want neither to win? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 I don't mind Leeds winning to be honest. I wasn't around in the dirty days, the Leeds I know spent a shed load of money and dropped to the third tier in a bit of a mess. I get we're supposed to hate them, even though it it one sided these days, but I just don't. I do find their superiority complex rather hilarious though, same as those down the A52, they have a lot in common. I will always be grateful for the fee that they paid for Seth Johnson, that was beautiful. I want a fiver, no we will give you a tenner. No wonder it all went a bit Michael Tonge. Both sides will be competing at the top end of the table you would think, so the best result would be a draw, the reality is I would take a Leeds win over a smiling Rowett.

FindernRam Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 A terrible dilemma. I was around in the Revie days when men were men and Leeds were monsters. It was horrendous but it was different times. On the other hand parachute payments are grossly unfair, Rowett disgusts me with his jumping ship (although I think his brand of football is rubbish). So I shall cheers Leeds. Hope they have a tough game though and we thrash them next week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sith Happens Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Still really dont get the hatred towards Rowett for going to Stoke. People move jobs every day when given an opportunity they think is better, and probably a decent pay rise, either that or we must have an incredible amount of loyal people on here who would stay with their current employer even if offered loads more money elsewhere to do the same job.

Here for the long term, always had affinity for the area etc,etc. Also, I get moving for more money. I only hope that he had to pay DCFC something to leave his contract early. In my working days I had to give 3 months notice and there were other restrictions where I could work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes of course he said about being here for the long term, how often do you think people turn up at a new job, or even in the interview and say 'Dont think i'll be here long mate, i'll be off as soon as something better comes along?'

StockholmRam Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 I cannot, will not, ever ever ever bring myself to support Leeds. I've not grouch with Stoke at all. They are unforgivable to me. So I guess the Leeds v Forest game is a bit of a draw situation but so sh/Ty have Leeds been as a club down the years, not just Revie days but their constant moronic fans, idiot players Woodgate and Bowyer... That chant they sing about them being the real champions of Europe. Ripping the BBG seats out in the 80s.,. Meh...the list goes on...if push came to shove I'd support Forest over them.

It might be related to the fact that he'd not long since signed a super new contract, pledged his loyalty, blew our budget on Jerome, but then split as soon as the play-off dust had settled. came across as duplicitous, disloyal, and selfish. Apart from that..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 No contest. I want rowett defeated and stokes notion that they are sailing bback up to turn to ashes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenBr Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 No confusion for me. I want Leeds to win - i can't stand Stoke and their delusions of grandeur and it doesn't help that they have Rowett there either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually find out when someone scores who I want to win, but in this case I think its hoping for things that have positive knock ons for our game next week. Bamford or Douglas getting a knock and maybe Jansson or another suspension would be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pearl Ram Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 I don’t know, while Rowett may approach the game with his let’s not lose this philosophy, the new Leeds manager would want to get the home fans onboard with a positive attacking approach I’d have thought. Home win for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StockholmRam Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Can I just add that we play Leeds next week so we really don't want them turning to Derby up on the back of a fabulous win over the Championships proposed bookies favorites and full of confidence...

AndyinLiverpool Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Stoke are a nonentity. A club whose ambitions have never extended beyond doing ok. And they are like someone who regrets dumping a girlfriend and tries to find someone identical. They finally have their Pulis replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoetheRam Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Hmm... on the one hand you've got (in my experience) smug self-congratulatory knowitall Yorkshireites. Versus salt of the Earth, know theirs is the worst town(s) in England, weird accent chipeaters. Stoke by a nose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
needles Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Rowett has gone and we didn't do too badly out of him, so I can't share the anti-Stoke feeling. They don't register with me any more than Coventry or Leicester. Just another club. Leeds, personally, I can't abide...but I can see why the younger generation don't share that view. I'm hoping for a 0-0 to take a point out of the league, and several brutal injuries and a sprinkling of red cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
