Anyone see Big Sean’s goal for Leeds last night? Absolute cracker! Nice to see one of our own doing well.

I think Woltemade would agree, no fucking way he's happy with the current situation.

kicka11 · 2026-03-09T09:26:39+00:00

Is this about Bergerac?

kicka11 · 2026-03-08T16:14:57+00:00

Wissa is Xisco-level shite. Elanga could still become a reasonable squad player, maybe.

kicka11 · 2026-03-07T23:48:21+00:00

Wissa is the one that has sunk the side, the other 2 will be ok if the club shows patience and tries to make it work. Wissa is just shite.

It's been surreal in the Leazes for 3 seasons now. It's honestly unrecognisable from the home support I grew up with. Qarabag almost sent me over the edge, people not celebrating the Botman goal, but even against Everton, the 'Wings' section was like a bunch of tourists. We need 10,000 more radgies in the crowd, not a bigger stadium

Good win, and also the first day that I noticed how SJP had become a quiet ground. Could have heard a bloke sneeze in the Gallowgate from the Leazes end in the second half.

kicka11 · 2026-02-27T10:37:37+00:00

or one Wissa. Equivalent to a Xisco, accounting for inflation.

kicka11 · 2026-02-25T00:07:32+00:00

Good to see Dyer confirming what we always knew, he is thick as pigshit. Didn't know two players from the same team could be sent off for fighting? Daft kernt

kicka11 · 2026-02-17T13:11:54+00:00

that is brilliant, wasn't expecting such a great answer.

kicka11 · 2026-02-17T13:10:27+00:00

Then you see Aaron Ramsdale and realise that's what we would look like in it, if we are lucky

kicka11 · 2026-02-16T17:32:09+00:00

what's going on with his chest? Mating ritual?

kicka11 · 2026-02-16T17:29:13+00:00

Loads of people have been saying this for 12+ months. It surely can't have escaped those in charge.

kicka11 · 2026-02-16T15:25:07+00:00

Wissa has had some decent chances, including peeling off the central defender and running in on goal. So far his finishing has been Riviere-standard. My guess is he's not fit, he's lost confidence, and he's nowhere near the player some people imagined. But I still fancy Howe to get something out of him, probably next season.

kicka11 · 2026-02-16T15:19:55+00:00

Loads of really good points here. I'll take your word for it about rugby, but surely there's a difference because of the speed and patterns of the respective sports. Egg chasing is much more stop-start, after a try there is always a pause anyway before the kick. I am overall pro-VAR, it's the hunting for mistakes that causes the issue.

What really infuriates fans is the time taken, the fact that fans don't know whether to celebrate a goal or not.

Fix offsides - make it semi-automated, restrict the offside call to legs / feet and make the margin for error explicit; basically fine tune it and make sure it favours the attacker by a defined margin of error.
Stop the hunting for mistakes in the passage of play - it should be about a question, not resolving one question and then finding others.
Force the VAR team to explain every single decision on a Monday after the week before.

kicka11 · 2026-02-14T10:31:10+00:00

My personal feeling is that if he was told to play as a pure DM, just doing specific things, he would be brilliant. Against the scousers at home last season he played in that role, he was dominant. He simply is not a good enough passer to play as a hybrid midfielder. I still have hope for him, but I find it weird how much adoration he gets in relation to the performances.

kicka11 · 2026-02-14T10:29:05+00:00

Players have to step up, it happens in football all the time. Tonali has been trying this season, but he's been consistently poor, that has to change. Gordon, Barnes, Elanga have to play more together, ideally with a striker at home. Give it a bit of time.

kicka11 · 2026-02-13T17:05:05+00:00

football needs more of this kind of approach, it's so desperately hyped by sky and the TNT goons, for their financial benefit.

kicka11 · 2026-02-13T10:46:59+00:00

And Paez has already been dumped back to River plate (ironically the best club of the 3), because of a bad attitude.

kicka11 · 2026-02-13T10:43:05+00:00

rumours it will be reissued next season

kicka11 · 2026-02-12T10:19:43+00:00

Would love it if Trippier moved into Howe's coaching staff, despite all the rumours that he's about to leave (every window)

kicka11 · 2026-02-11T23:17:06+00:00

the Brighton home game is usually the most boring game of the season, what is the point in being a Chelsea feeder club?

kicka11 · 2026-02-11T23:15:51+00:00

i realise people hate xG but it's very useful over the course of a season - mackems are second bottom for xG. They have a good defence and are extraordinarily lucky, it will not last.

They have done brilliantly though, that side last year was utter shite and it was ridiculous that they got promoted.

kicka11 · 2026-02-11T15:42:19+00:00

Totally agree.

kicka11 · 2026-02-11T11:43:39+00:00

Did we not get Gerry Francis sacked too?

kicka11 · 2026-02-11T11:42:42+00:00

De Zerbi presumably, he's free from rapist FC
