You can't help but wonder how this game had gone, had Smith not needlessly given away a penalty just before halftime, when at that point we were under pressure but we were holding up with some amazing blocks. I think we would have lost anyway, but not caved in the way we did. We would have acquited ourselves well, and there would have still been some spirit in the players to build on for the next game, which is in only three days. Now I'm actually relieved that family affairs dictate that I won't even be able to follow a stream that day.

These players would have looked at home if they were sitting with those cardboard cutouts.

what utter garbage it has taken Leeds 16 years to get back to the premiership i am afraid with the need to shift players out [won't be easy]and rebuild going to be sometime for us to be in the wilderness even bloody longer if we go down what a bloody mess we have disintegrated into

Some fans would have been accused of being dillusional if they would have said we would be 0-0 at half time but we nearly were. Don't let your anger and disappointment make you so judgemental. Two bad errors either side of half time changed the whole complection of the second half. Leeds are full of confidence and we are devoid of it at 2-0. Which ever way you dress it up the scoreline was a very fair reflection of the game. We were really lucky to go in only 1-0 down at half time. We did have some luck in the first half but only through Leed's brilliance. Nevertheless we should have gone in at 0-0 and that would have been a vastly different story. We would have gained in confidence and Leeds might have started to get a little frustrated. No professional player should have attempted the tackle Smith did and that lit the touchpaper to all the heavy criticism Stoke are getting now.

after that crock of shit we really do deserve to go down, i did not expect anything against leeds all i was after was for us to at least keep the score down,and they just gave up on us yet again, these players have no pride at all they should give there money to the NHS some people who are worth there money,

Yes I know that. What I was trying to say is that with their run in they will get enough points to stay up so the deduction will be applied next season. It won't. We'll see.

Eggheads is on, so not all is lost. I'll leave the game at that. I saw Chris from Eggheads a few weeks ago. He's even more miserable than on the show .Looks like a tramp.

With only Diouf, Federici and Ward out of contract this summer I'm not sure how that can happen - can't imagine we'll be overwhelmed with offers for the rest of our 'talent'. We're stuck with the useless feckers.

If I didn’t know better(and I don’t) I would call for an investigation into this match. Apart from a couple of scares, Stoke were comfortably holding Leeds in the first half, then Smith chops down the Leeds player who was running away from goal in the corner of the box. Butland then (as usual) lay down to allow the ball to be rolled into the other side of the goal. O’Neill then takes off Collins, who was doing OK and brings on Chester, who almost immediately gives the Leeds player time and space to score the second. Why was Collins replaced? Will O’Neill claim he was injured to spare his own blushes, or was Collins not in on the scam? In the last few minutes, Stoke allow Leeds all the time in the world to get forward and Butland lets in another soft goal! The league should investigate betting on a 5-0 result tonight, as the manager and players seemed to be in on it!

I'd challenge it on the basis it restricts trade I'm sure if somebody took it on they would have a good chance of getting rid of FFP think back a few years at Bosman it has similar restrictions and they won that and changed football forever.

Eh? If Wigan don't finish in the bottom three, then their deduction is applied this season, that's literally the top and bottom of it.

Just seen the boss's post match interview. He really does seem to be at the end of his tether with this group.
He pretty much reminded them how shit they've been, consistently.

He's very polite in the interview and I'll credit him for his restraint. However I'll help him out in his obvious hour of need. Butland - FUCKING SHIT Dive somehow, sometime. Smith - FUCKING SHIT, if someone is running away from goal don't foul him. Collins - FUCKING SHIT, 45 minutes is that the best you can do? Batth - FUCKING SHIT Martins Indi - How's your goolies? Anyway FUCKING SHIT Clucas - FUCKING SHIT Thompson - Sounds like a shit shoe shop - FUCKING SHIT Cousins - Great cartoon in the the former fanzine the Oatcake, however FUCKING SHIT Campbell - 0 goals, says it all FUCKING SHIT Gregory - FUCKING SHIT Powell - 0 goals, says it all FUCKING SHIT Sorenson - manager has just gave up here, anyway it's a team game -FUCKING SHIT McClean - Paddled about on the wing a bit - FUCKING SHIT Vokes - 0 goals - you know the drill - FUCKING SHIT Diouf - As you can't get a starting place you're obviously - FUCKING SHIT. There you go Michael, all done. Oh Chester....? You know the drill
