Mad Massimo The Axe Man....

Mamma Mia another monumental mistake
How much more of this can we take?!
Darko had to be ditched on second half nightmare alone
But the men in white coats should get on the phone
Leeds are in disarray
Of yesterday what can I say?!
Wolves shouldve mauled our team
Oh I could scream....
A cricket score without Silvestri
It's not hard to see
What the problems are
Don't have to look very far
No quick fix but at least Redders cares
For all the brooding stares
Darko was tactically gung ho
Another blow
To any realistic shot at stability
Redfearn makes sense to me
Some continuity
Sure for first team he offers unity
Yet do we believe Cellino will stand by him
Or by Christmas another coaching casualty destined to be out on a limb?
Uncertain times once more
Watching Leeds is never a bore...
Nothing sparkling about the diamond formation
Dodgy defence a continual frustration
Pretty football in parts but no guile
Adryan rabbit in headlights needs to develop a while
Points out of the next four games a tough call
Hohum lets hope we smash down that brick wall
Of uncertainty, drama and strife
Could cut the atmosphere with a knife....

Is Everything All White?!

Matchday tomorrow it's been a while
Have the men in white coats on speed dial...
Madman Massimo and his schemes
Is he all that he seems?!
Radio Bates hijacks the back page
Front page all about some alleged racist rage
Lost in translation or trumped up charge
The elephant in the room looms large
Who really owns our club dejavu
Was all that about buying ER back too good to be true?
Football seemed to be improving
But results are the thing
A draw against fancied Norwich who were poor
A string of results could see us knocking on promotions door..
Work to be done and more questions than answers
Time ticks on at a canter
Will Cellino get trigger happy before Xmas day?
What can I say
The only certainty is the commendable support
We are a battle weary, tough old sort!!!!

Dancing in the Dark(o) ...

Not quite sure what to make of our new boss
But suddenly the team are showing some sheen and gloss
Glad Redfearn's in the mix
Clearly knows how to make the youngsters tick
Cautiously optimistic about days ahead
But oh that yellow white and blue heart is so easily led...
Dodgy Dave Haigh still in the clink
Of that and Cellino's court dealings I don't know what to think
Got a few too many staff that we can't ship out
Yet overall I reckon somehow promotion's a decent shout
I'm not away with the fairies
I'm not bitter about Foolham or the Canaries
Ross and Matt
Have a bit of that
You're going in a different direction to our boys
Hmmmm Yep throw out the toys
Seriously though what matters is we're all together
A title charge? Really??? Never say never...
Hockaday never stood a chance
At first glance
I thought Darko sounded like a comic strip hero
To reassure fans he's got a long way to go
Some classy Italians now showing they're dirty Whites
Stings might just turn out alright
Massimo has the ship under tight control
The team is on a roll
Marching onwards we go
I'm actually sad Im missing games you know
Before it was just uncomfortably numb
Now these early kick offs are a pain in the bum
I really can't wait to be back there
Nice to see a team and a coach care...

Damn The DejaVu!

I don't know what to say
Didn't expect much from Hockaday
Yet somehow hoped I'd be eating humble pie
Well let's wave this sorry start goodbye
It's early days
Got to believe we'll get back to winning ways
Not sure about the Matt Smith situation
Him not starting was a source of frustration
Subs too late and no creativity
Hmmm it's not hard to see
That little has changed around here
Oh dear!
Too early to jump the gun
Oh what fun
Marching on regardless
Let's sweep this mess
And push on once more
I'd take a George Graham style bore draw
Or a lucky own goal
If it doesn't happen Hock's in the minestrone soup bowl
Not sure what to make of it all
Bah why do we bother with those eleven men and their hoofball?!

Who's Pulling The Strings?!

So is Hockaday the dodgy salesman puppet
Does Cellino take us all for a muppet?
Ross McCormack money suggests a shrewd operator
Yet the makeup of our team is still a hot 'tater
Will Matt Smith be exterminated again?
How long will the love in remain
Between Hapless Hock and Cunning Cellino?
No doubt off field antics have kept us glued
Certainly far from a dull interlude
Don't really read much into friendlies
As for signings there's too much of the wait and sees
Not set the world on fire
But some of our Italians look like they model for Esquire
Expensive lettering
It's going to be interesting
Another season of 'who...what...oh well?!'
Time will tell
A lot of talk, tweets and fierce debate
Very love/hate
It's never dull being a White
Let's hope the new boys don't get stage fright
Must gel quicker than Ronaldo's hair
Not particularly bothered about flair
Just be nice to see guts
No ifs no buts
Dirty Leeds stamping authority
One day once more we'll be top of the tree
It's not going to be pretty I know
Who knows which way it's going to go
But we love the ups and downs
Us daft skint clowns
In our overpriced shirts in a ground we don't own
We bitch and we moan
Yet we soon miss it when it's over
Even if every team in the league did us over
There'd always be the loyal Leeds faithful
Just hope Cellino respects that and his promises aren't bull!

Is Everything All-White At Elland Road?!

Who the chuff is our new boss?!
What's all this about Ross?
David Haigh still in the clink
Really do not know what to think
Twitter trauma and Facebook fangirls
All in a huff and no one knows
Let's just see how it goes
David O'Dreary spotted at Le Tour
Rumours of Becchio coming back once more
Backstabbing businessmen and bloggers braindead
For a golden silence there's a lot to be said
Cellino the clown or manic maestro
Not really sure which way it's going to go
Fasten the seatbelts once more
The Leeds rollercoaster is never a bore
Only want heart and humility back in the team
Ball breakers that'll run til they're out of steam
Too much said not enough done
Not confident of a promotion run
Prove me wrong Dodgy Dave
Perhaps we are riding on the crest of a new wave
A brutal cull
Who cares if Snods has gone to Hull?
Here and now let's sort it out
Let's remember what the real Leeds should be all about

What the f... hell is going on?!

I don't care if Ross wants out I just want us to be a financially viable, credible club with genuine promotion hopes once more. All the focus is wrongly on off field matters. Cellino's car boot saleswoman geezer sacked by Forest Green and an apparently 'Dodgy' Dave possibly stitched up by a GFH who have delivered GBH on any last crumb of comfort for Leeds fans rueing 'be careful what you wish for' after the acrimonious departure of Ken Bates. What now? What next? How low can we go? And I don't mean the asking price for surplus to requirements players... think we ought to throw in a few jelly babies by the looks of Pie Eating Paddy. Oh dear! Professional footballers?! A more like professional con artists!
Haven't nagged Dad for memberships I don't know who or what I'm funding and I don't really know if we'll have a team to put together for friendlies never mind the grudge away match of Millwall.
Marching on regardless.....

Uncomfortably Numb With A Sense Of Dejavu

Players not getting paid
No less than they deserve I'm afraid!
What a mess GFH have made...
Ho hum doom and gloom
Who's in charge a bunch of incompetent skint Arabs or a crooked Italian loon?
Do a deal with the devil or close pretty soon....
Football league won't sanction this clown
But unless Dodgy Dave Haigh and Sly Salem and co leave town
I predict a riot and a sunk ship going down!
Nothing surprises me any more
Just sickens me to the core
What else to endure?!
It's bad when some think Bates wasn't so bad
Are they flaming mad?!
This is so sad...
Oh well marching on regardless folks
Bring on another Bacardi and Coke
Better turn off Twitter and Facebook before I choke ;)

A Point Hard Earned Or Three Points Gone Begging? What next for Brian's Battlers?

It says something about our first half performance that so many were disappointed not to go away with all three points. I for one would've taken a draw before kick off. Just looking at the QPR bench I thought oh heck, this is going to be an uphill climb. Full credit to Leeds, they took the mantle to the loaded London outfit and for what they lacked in beauty they made up for in brawn. Pity the same old defensive dramas led to an admittedly skillful strike from Jermaine 'journeyman' Jenas. I don't totally believe the playoff is out of sight but neither am I convinced that it's within our powers either given that we are so Jekyll and Hyde in our performances of late.

Whatever the truth of the Italian Mafia Moneymen, Brian's business should be firmly rooted in the playing scenario and in fairness it appears Cellino has been putting the ball firmly in McDermott's court by seemingly sanctioning the ambitious loaning of Butland and Wickham, both of which I have been impressed by. Or is that just because the rest of the squad flit from middling to mediocre with the notable exceptions of McCormack and Byram???? Talking of Byram.... is McD scared of playing him too much like with Mowatt who fades after a bit of a bruising battle with bigger, stronger, older opponents...or is Kebe, Stewart etc rabbits that haven't quite fully emerged out of a magic hat just yet? I like Brian as a man, but there are undoubtedly question marks about his managerial decisions. At times I'm not sure whether he knows when or how to make a substitution and I really don't know whether the real Rudy Austin will stand up and provide consistency (yet am I being harsh? Most of the rest of the team suffer from this) On the positive side despite from really dismal displays we are somehow within distance of some sort of late playoff push but (and it's a biiig but!!) only if we stabilise our home form and convert dig deep draws into workmanlike wins. Can I see that happening? Unsure...but this is Leeds and anything can happen.

My next game will be Millwall at Elland Road. I'd like to think by then we'd have won against Reading and Bolton at least......hmmmmm!!!!

Marching on regardless as always, quietly confident that a silver lining is ahead after all this political posturing in the blinkered boardroom settles it'll be nice to concentrate on the only thing that matters to the majority of frustrated fans, the football!

Football Fail...

Very surreal Saturday when Leeds aren't playing
Tidying up, emailing and washing
Catching up on telly and emptying the bin
Cor, I'm soooo exciting!
Stewarding at Junction tonight
Better whack on the concealer as the cold riddled nose looks bright
Not much else to say
Steady away day
Roll on disco tomorrow
I'm a socialite you know ;)

I predict a riot.....

It's the Leeds United Hokey Cokey in full swing
Supporting the Whites is never boring!

The dodgy lawyer and an Italian crook
Was that a rip off from a thriller book?

McBaldy and his much maligned men kept in the dark
Yet Huddersfield were well and truly played off the park

More questions than answers loom large
But for now, fan power has ensured Bulldog Brian's in charge

We need investment and a team if spirited Ross McCormacks
Yet patience I'm afraid, is something a fair few fans and sinister suited types lack

The pressure's still on
If crooked Cellino takes charge I still don't give it long before Brian's genuinely gone

Billy and co must be spinning in their graves for sure
Mortified at what the great club and steadfast fans have had to endure

Marching on regardless as we must
In Brian McDermott we trust

Jury's out on dodgy Dave Haigh and his Arab money men
Heyhoooo count to ten!

The storm will pass just hold tight
Maybe with a bit of clarity and a decent owner promotion's not yet out of sight?

Dejavu

Same old disappointments and dramas
Austin so laid back at times he could be playing in his pyjamas
Some improvements overall
But the cry for reinforcements seems to be hitting a brick wall
Rather lose with dignity than not try at all
I know it's supposedly only football
Yet it's hard not to be down and fed up
Although can you see the old Lancastrian enemy winning a cup?
We've seen better days but we march on
Just need a battler in the spirit of Billy and Don
