I love Bielsa but feck Leeds United. The last thing we need right now is another game-raising bunch of cnuts who see us as their cup final. Six points will be easier earned off Villa or Derby, no question.
Don't think he'd be able to handle it.Talking purely hypothetically...but what would people think Of Bielsa coming to United if it doesn't work out with Ole?
They sort of already this season alreadyI watched the match tonight , leeds v Derby and it was a really enjoyable game to watch and I reckon Derby could easily beat United with a display like that. Simple passing, fantastic ball control and the team busting a gut for each other. Ah well!!
Have a feeling he'd be similar to Van Gaal.Talking purely hypothetically...but what would people think Of Bielsa coming to United if it doesn't work out with Ole?
Yes of course there is an element but there is an element of idiots at EVERY club. Are you saying United fans have never chanted anything hateful ? Come on, I’ve been watching football for nearly 50 years and every club in the land will taunt rivals and very often over step the mark.I think you need to visit Elland Road... you will change your mind. Their fans are extremely hateful towards United, grotesque chants etc. Like beyond football levels of hate. feck em, hope they stay down in the gutter forever.
I'd take that at the moment tbh.Yes of course there is an element but there is an element of idiots at EVERY club. Are you saying United fans have never chanted anything hateful ?

Fact is Leeds should be in the PL. I want fierce rivalry, most fans do. I’ll much more enjoy a right battle against Leeds than I will watching us whip a timid Fulham 5-0.
They have been very unlucky with injuries with a thin squad but they managed to get the best results during their worst spell of injuries. Goals just seemed to dry up despite dominating games.Sky said they were top oh the table for 186 days. What happened? Injury crisis?
I do like this style. He's transformed the way Leeds play.Talking purely hypothetically...but what would people think Of Bielsa coming to United if it doesn't work out with Ole?
Leeds needed a stronger squad in numbers of players. 48 games is a long slog for injuries etc.Bielsa looks heartbroken. Get the impression he might pack it in. I don't think they'll be in a promotion fight like this again for a while.
Yeah not sure they can afford a stronger squad - I think they might be screwed next season, have heard they may have taken a sh!t or bust approach this season and don't have the money to fund the club at the same level next season - their co-owner was certainly in tears in the executive "box" after Brentford turned them over 2-0 at the end of the season effectively ending automatic promotion hopes.Leeds needed a stronger squad in numbers of players. 48 games is a long slog for injuries etc.
No thanks. Cult manager, his teams play good football but fall apart after Christmas every year. That is, if he doesn't fall out with the board before Christmas. He's not a top manager.Talking purely hypothetically...but what would people think Of Bielsa coming to United if it doesn't work out with Ole?
I'd prefer literally any team in the Premier League over Leeds winning another game in their entire history.Shame. I’d have preferred Leeds back in the premier league over fecking Derby and Villa

Yeah I get that it’s a big rivalry and the match is appealing . I also understand every club has idiots but I’ve walked through Stanley Park in a united scarf, sat on a city bus with a united top on and none of those experiences were as vitriol as the two times we faced Leeds in the cup. Throwing down bottles of piss and coins at Old Trafford after winning the fecking match. Or us turning up at Elland Road and them waiting with broken bottles. It’s just over the top, that’s not football rivalry it’s just hateful. Oh and don’t get me started on the Munich stuff.Yes of course there is an element but there is an element of idiots at EVERY club. Are you saying United fans have never chanted anything hateful ?

Many are probably too young to have experienced it. Leeds also benefit from the fact that the press don't constantly kiss their arse unlike Liverpool and, increasingly, City.I would have to think those without animosity to Leeds simply haven't experienced the unadulterated hatred. It's not like City or Liverpool, it's good reason to outright hate where I think the other two cause a myriad of emotions and some of them are begrudgingly acknowledging their football and/or history, rivalry with us.
