not being a Leeds fan how much have you seen of him?

does a job at that level, got a few for millwall this season

Im going on what i saw which was 2/3 games live plus another 2/3 games on TV. I have seen him once this year and seen him play for Barnet and Dagenham so around 10 times I think

Oh, and

Happy Birthday Billy Bremner

Would have been 66 today.

Leeds vs Millwall in February on sky now!

Blackpool sign Ian Harte

I see Lee Clark's new manager at Huddersfield, wont last 2 minutes. I here Santa Claus is coming to Town next

If O' Leary hadn't have loved him so much we could have won something, he was the weak link in a very good team

He wasn't helped by walkabout kewell who regulary left him exposed on his own.

Harte could have done a quick fix job for us in Div 3. This defence needs sorting yesterday, if it all goes wrong tomorrow those BIG large BIRDS will be flying over Mac's Head come 17.00

Don't think Harte's the answer to our current problems. Although a left-back, defending wasn't actually the strong part of his game. He'd at least be disciplined, I'll give you that, but our problem is more in the centre of defence and is even more prevelant at set pieces, which in my opinion is down to the coaching staff, as everybody should have a defined role.

Will be fireworks for that one.

Nah, that team dramatically overachieved.....for a couple of seasons.

I mean, in some of those CL games we had jacob f*cking burns playing..... jacob burns



Nearly all the leeds players from that team have descended into averageness and mediocrity.

We don't want k**ne

or I**e

Boothroyd is bab

Let's just stick with mcallister

And Steve Staunton played where for L'pool Coventry, Rep of Ire etc ??????

I get what you're saying, but I still don't think he's the answer. Better waiting for a centre back in January.

Wouldn't say we overacheived, we had one of the best squads in the country. I'd say we underacheived as we should have kept qualifying for the champions league with the amount of money we spent. That bunch of players were all young and worked great as a team. Now they've all moved on to different clubs but the majority of them are still playing in the premiership 8 years later.

Agreed Jacob Burns was poor though!

Just think if we'd have had a better left back that we would have won a couple of things and at least qualified for the champions league a couple more times

Harte was decent in the air IMO. Could have filled in at centre half.

Just heard from a guy at the Gym that we have just signed a Centre Half, a Brazilian named, Poly Filla, he will be able to fill in at the back in the short-term.

We came within a whisker of getting back into the CL the next season but liverpool just pipped us.

If we hadn't had a good goal ruled out for a mystery offside against the scum we'd have got in that season.

But i think that team overachieved qualifying for the champs league.

It was top 3 back then.

scum and nal had better teams

liverpool and chelsea were on a par

ian harte was poor but he wasn't helped by lazy barsteward kewell playing in front of him

I can't remember him ever actually completing a pass, the poor sod.

Literally everytime he passed the ball, we lost posession.

He was only good for free kicks and the occasional long range special.

Yeah thats always done my head in how we finished top 4 like 4 years running and then as soon as it went tits up for us it became top 4.

Thought we overachieved in the season we finished top 3 but we really did become a better team when we brought in players like Viduka and Ferdinand but we never seemed to really improve and thought we underachieved. When we got beat 4-0 at the nou camp in the first game I didn't think we had a chance of qualifying.

If only Leicester would have let Martin O' Neill leave, he wouldn't have been greedy buying players like O' Leary was and we would have been a quality team

Our kid has the dvd they brought out called "wizards of oz" which sshowed all the aussies that were playing for us. There was Jacob Burns on it and the were saying he had the potential to become a legend for us!
