But that's not it though is it Jonty, because you are the most negative person I've ever seen on these boards.

I agreed with most things you said on Bates, GFH, Cellino etc but now you just come across as miserable.

You have moaned about almost everything for the past 6 months. If I didn't know any better I'd think you were a WUM.

This is simply not true. I have praised Bielsa and the players. Unlike yourself I don’t see everything as perfect because it’s leeds. There are problems, there are concerns, most people can see these, many people articulate same concerns as myself but if I say it, I’m labelled as just being negative and some folkx like yourself at present make it into some sort of witch-hunt trying to get others to jump on bandwagon, not unlike what eric used to do and it ends up destroying this forum.

- I'm shocked at such contempt... hows that even justified
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Because all you ever do is have a dig, it’s pretty much everything you ever post.

After your latest attempt to have a go with some long winded explanation falls apart you give some false sympathy, seriously eff off, I don’t have anything to discuss with you.

Well. O matter what we think it seems to be going down well with the Twitter lot.

“I know” said AR - “let’s make a special documentary for the Clubs 100th Anniversary - but if we don’t get promoted let’s keep it under wraps until we do”

Sometimes I wonder what planet some are on

dear me J-dog... you do have some issues don't you? - you're totally forgetting every time I've agreed with you, which you never acknowledge

come round to mine, I can see you're a sensitive soul lets talk about it...

But is it a documentary? I think it was intended to be a self congratulatory pat on the back thinking we’d get promoted and it’s backfired.

I think it might have been better to film this season as well in the hope that we do it this season and cover the 2 year journey.

It’s actually a very clever exercise at getting the message the board want you to hear, as it’s wrapped up in so many fans comments it’s viewed a bit differently than just an interview in a paper.

One wonders about the commercials around this, did Amazon pay Leeds? Have 11 sports paid Leeds, are Leeds paying them? I’d be keen to understand the financials and who thinks they’re getting what from this.

Ultimately though it’s testament to the size of the club that pieces like this, Do You Want to Win and Damned United get made, such is the draw of the club.

Sending lots of love your way Jonty.

As for the Docco...its imo a money grab twist on a film made on the assumption of promotion...imo it showcases ARs inability,it to deliver promotion last term.

I don't think everything is perfect and I said I'd be fuming if we sold KP this summer and that we needed CB cover.

But other than the players falling flat at the end of last season there really isn't much to complain about. To me, we are in a very good place.

As for the 'documentary', of course it was done in the hope we got promotion, just like the Sunderland one was. Nobody made it in the hope we would fail.

And I think we are filming this season as well so there will hopefully be a better season two

I’ll watch it if we get promoted this season.

But quite why AR is patting himself on the back for releasing a pointless documentary I don’t know.

It feels like it’s a message saying ‘incase you somehow missed me blowing up our promotion hopes, here’s the extended highlights’.

And this is right on the back of another poor transfer window.

I’m sure it’s quite an interesting watch, but we should be 100% focused on gunning for promotion and be furious for missing out.

Documenting last seasons demise seems pointless.

Geldard, agree there isn't a lot to complain about at all.. for me, its all about the players and the results..

I just don;t get why moan and take everything apart, why be so cynical all the time?

over the last few days, comments STILL complaining at, the badge that never happened, the away shirt that has had record sales, Kinnears statement, Orta, Radz, Documentary...

nothing to do with what's happening on the pitch.... which, currently, all seems to be going rather well... beggers belief sometimes, it really does

I agree that there shouldn't have been a 'premiere' and the players shouldn't have attended anything because we failed.

But you cant make a fly on the wall documentary and not release it because we didn't get the result we wanted.

IF we go up this season, and I think we will, it would be an amazing two part series to go back and watch.

On the pitch, at all levels, we are playing some of the best football we have seen in donkeys years, and off the pitch we are a pretty well run football club when you see what's going on at other clubs.

I just don't see the negativity.

I don't think they made the doc thinking we'd get promoted. It was cos we had Bielsa and they knew it would be interesting no matter what.

It was gutting how it ended but we can't just view football as if you don't win a trophy or promotion thst means it was terrible. Still a great season with some great football and memories. I will always look back on last season fondly.

I'm on episode 3 and yes there has been a few instances of Radrizanni trying to show his good side but also interesting to see Orta, players in tunnell and training. Loads of insight we just don't get. I think Orta comes out of this very well.

Waste off time telling people around here we weren't one of the clubs backed to go up the last time out, because to many are happily ripping it a new one!..

But the thing what is irritating is, this year footballing experts and the public,(the public when you add it all together works out at a hell off a lot more than Leeds fans!)irritating is the fact that they back Leeds to go up this time out!..

Amazing, even rivals from years gone by say we'll go up!..

Why is it Leeds fans just like to rip the crap out off everything Leeds United instead of supporting them and backing them like a team that needs that 12th man!..

Sometimes its just a diabolical pisstake!..

"I don't think they made the doc thinking we'd get promoted. It was cos we had Bielsa and they knew it would be interesting no matter what."

Odd, but I said something like that back there somewhere but people as always only answer what they want to see and not how it is!..

Germany.... but what about that badge??, awful.. so out of touch with the fan base... you know the one... the one that never happened because Radz heard the voices of the fans.... what a disgrace, I think we should complain about it for another year

posted on 16/8/19

Should have done it this season;

1. Centenary season
2. Best chancenof going up as the league is weaker and we're supposed to be stronger.

It was one of the bets seasons I've ever had following Leeds, I'm looking forward to seeing things you wouldn't normally see

posted on 16/8/19

How can you really plan what season to do it?

They will have sold the rights to Amazon a while back, so can't exactly cancel it and say wait another season.

Easy Best. Time travel!

Gelderd,

Some people just want to moan. I can only imagine why you would want to be like that. To find a negative in everything because of some preconceived perception of the subject.

Just ignore it. There's no helping that sort of person. There's no listening to reason or logic.

I just thank god I'm not related to them.

On a side note, not sure if I cartwheeled enough over the club keeping KP? Because I'm effing happy.

posted on 16/8/19

Just glad no one spoilt it by telling me what happens at the end.

Hope we got promoted

Interesting take from waccoe Carajo twitter feed:

So we go out worldwide on Amazon, showing how amazing our club & fanbase is. To countries we’d struggle to reach. We’ll gain fans from it, we’ll sell merch from it. It’s a complete win-win all round & anyone whinging is missing a much bigger picture

Int it odd, but we're not the only ones doing it!..

Ffs, competition on all fronts!.

Spanish, the Badge is AR's last card, before selling up he'll put that badge in place with something in place saying the next owners have to keep it for the next hundred years!.

Where's me gun?.
