Oh now you weren't!

93/94 - NUFC = 3rd CFC = 14th

94/95 - NUFC = 6th CFC = 11th

95/96 - NUFC = 2nd CFC = 11th

96/97 - NUFC = 2nd CFC = 6th

01/02 - NUFC = 4th CFC = 6th

02/03 - NUFC = 3rd CFC = 4th

So, of the 10 possible seasons before Abramovich's money arrived, we finished higher than you lot 6 times...

 

lol I'm working on it Dave!

Cheers!

 

idf101 I think all the small number of Leeds fans on Scoobynet are asking for is for you to substantiate your claims.

It's like me posting "Idf101 is a Chelsea tw*t" I don't know you & I had no opinion of you till a couple of days ago.

Interestingly is this the same vile management who was in-charge of Chelsea 3years ago?

And before you start I was upto a year ago helping providing medical support for Chelsea footballers via CXH before Bryan English became the CMO

 

It will always be difficult to substantiate my views to the satisfaction of some people however i will try.
I have been involved as a fan for nearly 30 years and during that time i have of course travelled to many football grounds and have met hundreds if not thousands of different fans of all clubs at differing levels and there are two teams that more often than not are mentioned in an adverse way for reasons previously stated and one of them is Leeds.
Of course other clubs are involved but i am ignoring local rivals up and down the country and merely stating a general view shared by many over a long period of time.

As for the vile management statement i stand by that and it was a joyus day when that tw*t left!

Fair play to you for your medical involvement in the past and that would be my opinion whatever club you were involved with except Leeds

 

I had some serious trouble at Elland Rd once, but I've seen worse at other grounds: Old Trafford, Goodison, The Den, Roker Park, Stamford Bridge, "Awesome" Park, White Hart Lane, Filbert Street and probably the worst of all - St James' Park when Liverpool fans ran riot after Malcolm McDonald had scored a Hat-trick on his home debut.

As someone who's been to Elland Rd many, many times, I'd say Leeds Utd are no worse than some and a lot better than others. I've always found the people of Leeds very friendly and helpful - even when I've been wearing a Newcastle Utd scarf!

I find it rather ironic that Chelsea's ground carries the same name as a battle in Yorkshire - not far from Elland Road!

 

A bit embarrassed stating where you finished in the seasons 96/97 to 00/01?
And in all of those seasons you finished above us you won???

 

You need to try harder than that... The positions were similar to where you finished in 93 - 96!

And at least we don't rely on a mighty benefactor. NUFC survives on the money it makes through the season, so is in little danger of going t!ts up if Fat Freddie (or whoever), leaves. With losses like CFC make, what will you do if/when Roman gets bored and moves on? Before you point to the Hall Family and their investment, it was just that, an investment and the money has long since been repaid with interest. They cost NUFC money, rather than gave us any. I know, I'm a shareholder (who never cashes his dividend cheque) and I read the accounts and attend the shareholders meetings.

 

Castrol me old mate, I was a shareholder at Leeds under the previous administration, so least you get a dividend payment!
But hey-ho my team thick and thin, so hopefully we'll do it next time

 

Good luck to you and your team. I don't hold grudges - apart from the ones against The Smogs!

 

All that investment and nothing to show for it

 

Very true. I guess enough money wasn't thrown the team's direction. Chelsea have made up for it however. At least when we were runners up (twice and so on), we were respected and our Football enjoyed by many. In 1996, we sold more shirts than any other Club in the World. Only Brazil sold more.

Toon! Toon! The Entertainers!

Can't see Chelsea ever being called that.

 

Who the bl**dy hell do they entertain

 

Stamford bridge just east of York, i heard that Abramovicsky is trying to buy that up too.He should stick to buying'on the ar$e'football clubs in stead of small towns in North Yorkshire

 

Well played you must be good

 

Being a Chelsea fan, I might've guessed you wouldn't know what entertainment was...

From: http://www.answers.com/topic/kevin-keegan

 

We were certainly popular and respected. Again, something that Chelsea will never be!

 

I think you'll find that teams that never win anything, are more felt sorry for rather than "popular and respected" .

And the teams that have fans that bleet on about being "a big club" get on peoples nerves

Chelsea are two times Premier League Champions, something Newcastle will never be

 

If being entertainers means you are unsucessful, what very, very fine entertainers you are

 

"A world record amount spent on Shearer"

Dont suppose you were trying to "buy the success" as Chelsea have been labled as doing ...............and if you were it didn't work

 

As already proved, prior to your massive injection of funds, we did better in the EPL than you lot!

Keegan spent around £75 million and sold players for £40 million. Not a bad return on the kind of dosh you lot splash for one player...

I think you'll find that we were popular and respected. Again, something that Chelsea have never been and never will be.

11th in the World Club Rich List and making more money than you lot! We've got an excellent stadium too. You rely on a man who made his money under dubious circumstances and play in a cr@p hole - 2 actually - London and Stamford Bridge!

Well done! I hope for your sake Roman stays and keeps up his interest, or you'll be Bankrupt two time Premier League Champions. And Bankrupt is something Newcastle Utd will never be!

Enjoy your Weekend.

 

Dont think I will, off camping with the wife and kids in a while, till Wednesday keep the place warm for me , see you when I'm back.

Have a good weekend yourself

Up the super blues!

 

Thanks! We're heading south to stay with my Mother in Law in Somerset.

Cheers
