Diego_Sideburns Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 What a golden opportunity for Taggart to be magnanimous in defeat, but it was no surprise to me that he wouldn't even give an interview to ITV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garcon Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 They should seel the exits and fill it with s**t. So, given it was already full of ManU and Leeds fans, just seal the exits then. I'm sure Sir Alex is being suitably magnanimous as I type, in the privacy of his office over a glass of wine with Simon Grayson. As for Beckford to United, he's good but he's not that good. Fully deserved by Leeds, by the way. Scum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt he is, but compliance with his TV contractual requirements only when his team has not lost speaks volumes of the man and gives more ammunition to those who criticise him.

Ah come on, Sky asked Shez the most pointless question: "So, have the team trained in the pink shirts this week?". The look on the gaffer's face was superb!!

Bring Back Ronnie Moore Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Don't be f*cking ridiculous. Were you one of those that said Whitaker is better than Wellens? .....Yeah, but that is besides the point. For the opening 6 games in which that poll was based on he played like one of the best midfielders we'd ever had. Berbatov was lost today against a strong league one team. Put that guy in our league and he gets eaten alive, he's a fancy player who needs time to do anything. Beckford is just a natural goal scorer with bags of pace, and a bit of finesse about his play. He could step up to the Prem, easy. He's better than the likes of Fagan, Zamora, Nugent, Kevin Davies. If they can play in the Premiership, so can Beckford.

Davies batters defenders, different player all together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy_Fent Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Like Diego says, if you have doubts always back the underdog, hence why most of us back City in a derby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldhamSheridan Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 He's better than the likes of Fagan, Zamora, Nugent, Kevin Davies. If they can play in the Premiership, so can Beckford. That would have held water if Zamora wasn't battering the top level at the moment. Not sure Fagan is an out and out striker myself (a bit like a good Smalley). Nugent is better and Davies, as mentioned, is a different type of player. I'd love to think that Gregan can :censored: on 1st Division players, but it is unlikely to say the least. He can certainly hold sway with third division Beckford though. Other than all of that, you are spot on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diego_Sideburns Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Taggart has just been on ITV and given Leeds credit, so I was too hasty earlier. Just as I was beginning to think he was going soft in his old age, he rambled on about only five minutes of stoppage time - he never lets us down!

dave_ragg1984 Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 What can I say, it was pretty obvious from the start who the better player was. I'm bookmarking that thread and going to have a good read and a laugh at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takemeanywhere Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 I have voted in the last forty minutes but only because I have only just got home from Hartlepool and wanted to register a vote. A couple of us stayed over and then went on an all-dayer today. We found a pub showing the game where everybody present was supporting Leeds. It is the first time I have ever experienced that when watching the red scum in a pub and I have to say, it was a most pleasant experience.

I'd suitably backtracked by this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
