The point is, since 2011 we have had some success. The top 8 was the benchmark for the playoff 8 years ago, which it no longer is.

But I appreciate your angst. Your club sacked its most successful ever coach, how did that work out?

No, see above

Quote ="ComeOnYouUll"This was a thread on VT pre-season. viewtopic.php?f=2&t=620707 Hardly anyone had us in the top five. Many more said we'd be bottom four. On Sky Sports Terry O'Connor had us finishing 8th. Their fans' poll had us 8th too. Barrie McDermott and Phill Clarke predicted a 9th placed finish for us. Given all this Mrs B is clearly spot on with her post. If we finish fifth I'd count it as a good season with a Cup semi final at least thrown in. Should we finish sixth and lose the semi it's hardly been a disaster in what most people saw as a transistional year as we see a number of players approaching the end of their time at the club.'" Funniest sentence of the season so far! Think you’ve just been rumbled mrs b

So have his expectations gone up or down? Doesn't seem to be someone who settles for us being also rans but you seem to know different

And you were rumbled a long time ago.

Leeds will be pushing to create a gap to Hull KR now Huddersfield have gone 8th.

And your the most boring person on here, but fill your boots , bore me with how you think I’ve been rumbled ?

You used to log on as Tinkerman23 but got banned. You now use MorningGlory23 and also log on as Windy Winger.

Correct on the tinkerman , I’ve never denied it. Never had no reason to try and have different aliases, unlike yourself mrs b , can’t believe it’s taken me so long to work out haha. wasn’t I ir80 the other week?

Pearson’s expectations have probably gone up, give you needs to be in the top 5 now, rather than the top 8.

Not sure why you think I know different. The point of my earlier post was to suggest that dragging up a quote from 8 years ago, in isolation, is quite meaningless. After all at some point in the future it is highly probable that Radford will leave, coaches will not last for ever, yet No doubt someone will drag up a Pearson quote about LR having a safe position.

Digging up old quotes is meaningless? You'd better not let barista know that's the case

"Steaming gap-toothed turd" was always a good one.

meaningless now he has had his teeth fixed

On the whole it is meaningless. It assumes the person being quoted is not allowed to change their mind or have a different opinion as time progresses.

Ill hold my hands up and say there were a couple of points in time (late 2015 being one of then and 55 minutes into the good friday derby in 2016) the I would have preferred a new coach to come in. The remainder of 2016 changed my mind on that. Even despite the woeful run we went on at the end of 2018 there were circumstances beyond Radfords control which 2016/7 had bought him leeway.

Of course, if that individual wants to stick by that original quote, then its fair game.

Meanwhile back to Headingley, very important game for both teams, Leeds will be desperate to take advantage of our neighbors loss, and with the squad we have selected, it’s very strong, are we looking to go all guns blazing.

An intriguing tie, can we end this alarming hoodoo, come on yu ulllaaa

how the hell do sts get away with playing an a team tomorrow.?.ive no love for rovers,but sts should be heavily fined.

No they shouldn't.
It's a squad game and they can play who they like.
They're not breaking any rules and as comfortable league leaders they can afford to do what they want.
I'm sure Hull or whoever in their shoes would do the same.
You're quite an angry man of late, Sky, Thursdays and Catalan playing on a Saturday



Anyway Leeds.
Game we should be winning, looking forward to it and think if the right Hull team turns up a game we should win comfortably.

If they were playing a full team of juniors, you might have a point. But St's have named a 19 from their squad of players. Why is this wrong? They have earned the right to rest as many players as they wish by being streets in front on the table.

On a different note, it also shows they are respecting and valuing the Challenge Cup, which is good to see. There are far too many fans who claim they are not bothered about the cup (BTW I am not pointing the finger at St here) but they are soon booking final tickets if they get there. Good to see a top club really wanting it.

Saints are not breaking any rules. They've earnt the right to rest players.

At least with the squad system everyone including their travelling supporters know what sort of a side they'll be putting out.

the game is run by idiots.

Why? Theres no obligation to field your strongest team. If we were in the same position we'd be thinking it was the right thing to do

… the Premier League had to change their rules in 2011 to allow teams to field weakened teams. Quote The Premier League has changed their rules on so-called 'weakened' teams. Top-flight clubs will now be allowed to pick any player in their 25-man matchday squad without fear of sanction from the Premier League.'" https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/14166038 Boring, I know.

feel free to support a different game, you just seem an angry individual.

On the basis of what?

And yet there is only you ranting.

Would you be happier with no televised games, no Sky money, no expansion, all games played on a Sunday, back in winter, all clubs being part time and only English men can represent England, no heritage rule unlike every major sport in the world and unlike Australia and New Zealand in RL

Don't worry though the earth is still flat



Anything about the game Sunday, or you just upset about everything this week?
