My frustration doesn't just stand at the fact Leeds have lost their main forward, it stands at the fact that once again we have been the victim of our own success. We have lost another key player to a team no bigger than ours for the simple fact they are currently (but not for long) in a place that we should be in.

Now they know what we feel like..though we show a bit more class to our departed ex players.

Hahahaha they really are funny.

Leeds bigger than Burnley? One more title and the same fa cups from one of the biggest cities in the uk and the biggest one city club in the world.

Both us and Huddersfield have as good a history than them.

The only thing they have more history than us is recent history outside the top two divisions.

Their stadium is nearly as big as our town. Yet theyve won next to nothing.

Losing Wood does affect the club

Yep, leaves Weeds a bit limp...

Envy pure envy

Dunno, overnight Jason Shackell changed from being an excellent player and club captain to be an overrated player who the rest of the players hated.

Its took a lot of years for us and Frank Casper,to feel a lot of satisfaction right now,What Goes Around,Comes Around,Sheer Bliss!

We feel their pain. Fancy losing two of your better players and not having the nous or resources to do anything about it. That's gotta hurt.
Nah, do we hell.
The Leeds lads and lasses need to question how come they've underachieved for so long ?
The answer's pretty simple; a poorly-run club with a succession of clueless managers.
Still, it's much easier to blame individual players who feel they need to move away from the club's current stagnation to a new challenge.

Given the size of the City, Weeds should be alongside the Chelskis, Manures and Citehs.

Bad management leaves them STILL in the Championship, losing their main players to so-called "lesser" Clubs.

Their best response??

"F*** you Chris Wood. We will pass you at the end of the season and until then, enjoy spending your time with a balding ginger and a left back that couldn't wipe the muck off Berardi's boots"

We all hate Leeds and Leeds...

Yes that's a fair point but personally I thought at the time he just couldn't turn down that last big pay day..and we didn't miss him in the end.

A victim of our own success , like that 1 what success are they referring to it's a mystery

Terrible attitude this lad. And his Mrs. Well I heard the cheeky wench wanted Websters at half time and a twix. Cheeky mare

There are only 3 massive clubs in England

Man United & Liverpool for League Titles

Arsenal for FA cup wins

The only 3 teams to win FA cup and League titles combined more than 20 times.

Villa, Everton and Chelsea probably next depending on how much you rate each domestic honour.

Sheffield Wednesday & Huddersfield being the Best of Yorkshire.

" Chris Wood, another snake has found another pit to lie in for the next few seasons and by all means I wish him the best of luck while he sees his career fall down the pan with a club with a very little shelf life in the Premier League. "

.............

now can someone just remind me about when Mighty Leeds sell by date ran out....was it in the 1970s .

comedy gold their fans....more deluded than a trump voter.

Leeds essentially Successful in late 1960s and early 1970s and briefly when they had Cantona.

Like Huddersfield were successful in the 1920s

Possibly 10 to 15 years of greatness each with another 90 odd years of mediocrity.

We've possibly had the same but more spread out over the years.

mr weller knows.

Leeds on loan to the championship.........................from league one

Paint it claret wrote:A victim of our own success , like that 1 what success are they referring to it's a mystery

Flirting with the play offs before blowing it in the final month of the season obviously constitutes success at Bellend Road these days.

"Get Danny Ings on loan" - can't believe i just read that

Deluded bitter fans and a poorly run club. For the younger generation it's known more for being poorly run and unsuccessful. Was once successful like many clubs.

I hope Wood is a roaring success for Burnley, I really do. If he isn't, I can comfort myself with the fact that little old Burnley have taken MASSIVE Leeds 2 best players this summer, making them much weaker.

Robbie Blake
Ade Akinbiyi
Richard Chaplow
Kyle Lafferty
Andy Gray
Jason Shackell
Jay Rodriguez
Charlie Austin
Danny Ings
Michael Keane
Andre Gray

A list of influentual players Burnley have lost to other clubs in the last decade or so. All left for different reasons, some wanted a bigger challenge, some were sold to balance the books, some for profit, some unexpectedly. But I do t think there's ever been player who would get that sort of article written about them.

Owen Coyle is the closest, but he made his own problems by convincing the club and its fans about building a legacy, following an ethos and becoming the clubs figurehead.

Fair play to Leeds formed 98 years ago and they've spent 50 seasons in the top flight.

Interesting that since Leeds United were formed Arsenal have not been relegated from The Top Flight.

Missing Tripps and Fletcher

Honours? OK Leeds have underacheived, but come on? As a successful prem team they would be capable of filling the capacities of turf moor and ewood park combined with their fanbase..

They are way bigger than Burnley(and rovers)..

Current population 780 000 it's not rocket science

So what? Changes nothing. They are a monster.

Life is unfair like that..

Leeds are 16th on the list of English teams by major honours won and 25th on the list of most Seasons in the top flight.
21st on list of record home attendance.

Not really a massive club by any definition.

Their grounds to small for them..

Very poorly supported. Extremely poorly supported for a single club city, the fourth biggest in England. They have a two tier stand that only opens the top tier when someone big comes to town. If they were THAT well supported, that stand would be open, and bellend road would be a sell out for every home game. It isn't for one reason... they are spectacularly poorly supported.

At the moment.

Should they get promoted (god forbid the classless lot ever do, but I suppose there's nothing happening there right now that suggests they are ready) they may actually open the top tier, but who will those fans be there to see?? If it was leeds, they would be there now surely?

I hate Leeds. Their fans are classless, clueless, and without honour.

My hatred for bastards I was born with. My hatred of Leeds has been cultivated over many years of their thuggery and bullying. Even sadder when those thugs and bullies could actually play a bit.

Love it.

In a nutshell

Saxoman wrote:Their grounds to small for them..

In comparison

Blackburn Rovers are 12th on the list of English clubs by major honours

13th by Seasons in top flight

And 17th by record home attendance.

Definitely a middle to bottom half top flight team

I know a lot of your FA cup wins came a long time ago.

But a significantly bigger team than Leeds who are probably a top end Championship team or relegation zone Premier League Team based on overall team history.

On that basis both Bristol teams and Bradford City would be huge clubs

Think we should bid for Pontus Janson

Just for clarification.
Burnley

19th by Major Trophies
23rd by Seasons in top flight
24th by record home attendance.

On a par with Leeds - probably a yo-yo club based on overall history.

Wow that's one bitter *******

Well done, you bored me into submission..

You've got to include trophies and number of years in the top flight - look at Brighton now spending an astonishing 5th Season in the top flight and having won an outstanding one Major Trophy in their history (The equivalent of The Charity Shield) - They could fill a 40,000 seat stadium I have no doubt but you'd be having a laugh if you said they were a massive club.

I bet Bournemouth stats are pretty ****

A big fanbase following a lower league club
Another Aston Villa

Saxoman wrote:Well done, you bored me into submission..

Leeds is a Rugby town - Sheffield is the football town - now if you were saying Wednesday is a massive club then you'd be closer to the truth.

Just to bore you further.

Wednesday

14th by Major Trophies - below Blackburn but above Leeds and Burnley.
14th by Seasons in the top flight - again below Rovers but above Burnley and Leeds
10th by record home attendance (72,000) way above the other 3.

Yup they bite quite easily, I tweeted

" Leeds base they are the biggest club due to attendance. Pop for Leeds = 715k 4% attend match Burnley= 75k 27% atttend match. Go figure?"

My private messages gone mental with all sorts of vial

"We have lost another key player to a team no bigger than ours for the simple fact they are currently (but not for long) in a place that we should be in."

You've been out of the top division for fifteen years you absolute fanny.

Interesting article from 4 years ago on what makes a big club.

I think it was a fairly balanced article.... from supporters who use sticks to hit the keys on their magic talking vision machines.
