There's Elland darkness, there's the sulfurous pit - LEEDS

[Harry Genshaw]

Didn't we get something like 4 managers sacked one season? I seem to recall Alan Ball at Citeh being one of them. I could be completely wrong on this!

I think you're right. I recall a good number being sacked after losing to us .... which, tbh, I thought was a little rude.

Think we've had at least 1 West Ham manager - can't remember which, but he was playing "The West Ham Way" - which meant they were on the verge of relegation.

Pardew? Maybe after the 4-0 at the 'bok?

I think I can speak for us all when I say we miss THAT West Ham way

[William the White]

I don't know what does & doesn't constitute "fit & proper" for owning a football club but whatever Massimo Cellino is should be included in the very definition of "not fit & proper".

Other than in Yorkshire IMHO...

What's with all these Googled match thread titles!

Shakespear innit

Leeds are a shambles and Redfern probably hasn't had the chance to take a training session. Leeds to throw everything at us for an hour and then we score 1 or 2 on the break

[Nicko58]

Why do we nearly always play a team the match after their manager has been sacked rather than being the catalyst to his sacking? I remember once an opposition manager being sacked after we had hammered them but can't remember who it was.

Roy Keane got potted after we beat Sunderland a few years ago. Pretty sure it was when Megson was in charge.

So ... basically Rivi, get your act together man !!

Yes, that. Were we three up or four up at half time?

Gary Speed's overhead kick.

If we're talking about the same game, they battered us 3-1.

That was a different game. We won that one 4-1. The 4-0 was when we got three goals in the second half and Pards was later sacked. Carlos Tevez was playing.

I was right behind N,Zogbia (sp?) in the Lofthouse lower for their first goal. He curled it in as a cross and it skipped past everybody and into the net. We were doing okay up to then and it came as a complete sickener.

Ah, then it's off to the 'Wrong' thread for me.

Didn't we get Curbishley sacked as well?
