So glad my team rarely tries it True, your team specialises in blatant dives with zero contact to get people sent off or to win penalties. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeds got to a CL semi final and finished 3rd in the PL" "but you ruined your club for 30 years doing that... And villa won the European Cup and finished 2nd in the PL..." "villa fans, always living in the past" Special breed Most fans are like that to an extent, to be fair. We sing about a competition that we won before I was even born.

Keyblade Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 This just reminded me of something. Remember Bristol City fans' obsession with us? They had a huge thread on our FFP situation. What a weird club. Their manager was a weirdo too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never heard any official talk about our FFP situation or any sort of genuine indication that we've breached it in some way. It's only other fan bases that ever seen to mention it. Talking about Leeds being despicable, remember when Bamford got El Ghazi sent off with a ridiculous dive? That's pretty much set the tone for my opinion of them. I expect that sort of nonsense from them every time they play. I couldn't care less what they think of Grealish either. He makes it damn near impossible to tackle him without making contact. Maybe opposition defenders should learn how to not do that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be public knowledge if we did, and we'd be punished just like everyone else who did. If Jack wasn't so amazing at winning fouls, we'd probably have been relegated last year. It relieves pressure on the defence, which we already had too much of as it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 (edited) Because people were convinced that out spending would lead to FFP problems but they never took in to account the savings we were making with the wage bill We got rid of around 5 or 6 players on £50k a week+ when we went down and then somehow managed to do somethibg similar after promotion too, Glen Whelan and jedinak were earning more than Luiz and Nakamba do (or did) we have our wages under control which in turn goes a long way to getting FFP under control but fans can't look past the spending headlines Edited February 1, 2021 by villa4europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 I understand why teams got pissed at us in the Championship whether we broke the rules or not, teams battle for years trying to get out and we went down and splashed cash left right and centre. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Silvers Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Surprise Surprise, Leeds won, talksport right, Bielsa is a genius again, the ass kissing is embarrassing, apparently Bamford is so good because is being allowed to be Bamford, genius coaching, wish they'd get this tit off the radio.

Which manager told his players to allow villa to score? Why does a cheat do that? Bt can have merit - I don't see Bielsa Leeds as dirty. A number of Leeds players have been and are cheats - as in simulation. Bamford clearly - to an extent where it's embarrassing. All teams have players who will make the most of contact to gain their side a free kick, but a few times Leeds have tried to get people sent off with no contact at all. That's what fans generally dislike intensely. Bielsa seems a thoroughly sound man. He's working In a culture which is different to the places he's worked in before, so some disparities are to be expected. The outcry about spying I didn't get at all, for example. I think it's kind of in the DNA of Leeds not to be popular with other clubs or sets of fans. That's fine. And I guess with that comes the inevitable response. I admire the way the team plays football, I like it a lot, it's entertaining and adventurous and the right way. Apart from the acting part. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep wrong & won nothing football wise. So I do admit to the clear ones but it seems you lot never see the grealish ones even when clear no contact videos are shown! As I put earlier, the var should be examined post games & retrograde bans put in place.
