#LUFC #LeedsUnited #PremierLeague #EPL - Sport
I'm Argentinian. And believe me: it hurts us to all. We are united with Leeds forever. Because football is that: risk. Go forward. Not giving up. But for that, you need to have resources and a whole team convinced with you: and the current players no longer believed in Marcelo and turned their back on him. They should have resisted. Having fought for someone who never betrayed them. There are players in Leeds who come from the Championship and with Bielsa, they continued to play: that is loyalty. Bielsa was beaten by teams with millions of euros ahead. And with Bielsa they could save the season. God luck Leeds.
Thank you. From a born and bred Leeds fan
In my heart, I will always believe Bielsa would have kept us up.
I'm a Gillingham fan (no laughing please) and I'm blown away by the affection you guys have for Mr Bielsa. We had something similar for Keith Peacock in the 80s so I get it. I hope LUFC can turn things round. Cheers
Cheers👍🏻
Thanks, my friend 👍😘
As a life long Leeds fan from Don Revie days I am heart broken!!! Bielsa was the best thing to happen to Leeds for years! Heartbroken!!!!
Thanks for this boys. A miserable way for the dream to end, but atleast we can all share in the memories and sadness together. Viva Marcelo
I've supported Leeds (and watched football) for 55 years, and apart from the exciting brand of football that Marcelo Bielsa has given us, the things that will stick in my mind are (1) The disbelief in how we battered Stoke in his 1st competitive match (2) When he instructed his team to let Villa walk the ball into our goal (I've never seen ANY team do that before!) (3) He NEVER EVER criticised the referee or VAR for some ridiculous decisions imo. The guy was/is on a different planet in football terms and integrity to any other manager. MOT!!
That BBC commentary about how if Joe Allen gets forced any further back he'll be playing for Liverpool again is seared into my mind
I'm old enough to remember Revie onwards leaving, and I can honestly say that this is unique. The selflessness and moral authority MB demonstrated throughout his tenure, should have been rewarded by the club demonstrating the same characteristics. I honestly thought the standards he demonstrated had been inculcated through all levels, and I'm bitterly disappointed that wasn't the case. He came to Leeds when he didn't need to, and unfortunately the club didn't demonstrate the same level of loyalty and moral authority.
But Don was leaving to manage England and we were proud!
Hi John, I echo your words. Were they not around a great man to learn from his example? I think this has compounded the sadness/ heartbreak due to the manner of it all. Regards, Andrew.
Totally agree
morals yep, doesn't seem to be what Radrizzani wants now
Leeds gave Bielsa a big salary when they did'nt have to.They gave him enough chances to turn things around. Did u enjoyed getting hammered week in week out and did'nt know were the next win was coming from. Plus 2points from the drop. The players gave up playing for him. They were probably knackered from the intense training.
Followed Leeds for 50 years followed them home, away, Europe, pre season games, tv and listened on radio more downs than up, finals, semi final, play off and relegation heartbreak. Great days and seasons too, winning titles and promotions, superstar players along the way, Revie, Wilko,O'Leary and Grayson giving us unbridled joy.
I remember him coming to Leeds in the Summer of 2018 and giddy as a child at the start of the 6 weeks holidays because I had followed his carer and my mates asking "who is he" and telling everyone who would listen that he will leave within 6 weeks or will walk on Roundhay lake by the time he leaves.
I have never felt this way about anything to do with LUFC in my life.
It is more than Football what he did to the City, he got the City back together and give us pride once more, I myself had a lot of apathy when we played, I wasn't bothered about getting beat by QPR or Blackburn it was so matter of fact. Now I back hating other teams when we play them.
Like John said it's the little things like seeing him in Morrisons and watching him in De'Angelos in Wetherby having a pint of Peroni on his own.
I know he will not see this but just thank you just thank you for giving me my pride back.
MOT 💙💛
The man has a beautiful soul,we are blessed that we got to share and see a better example of how to be and how to play football. His altruism and humanity and of course the humility he displayed and example he set will never be forgotten. Love Bielsa,for the man he is and what he did for Leeds United.
Seeing everyone as miserable as I am right now really helps... thank you 🙏🏼
Yes completely heartbroken right now
Spurs fan here, Wishing Mr Marcelo Bielsa all the best in future. I personally will miss his style of play which is offensive ⚽️ and exciting to watch. The Premiership has lost a Very Good Manager.
Adiós señor 🇦🇷 !!!❤👋👋👋
I pray that the city awards him freeman of the city, for all he has done for the city in the last four years
I’m glad I’m not the only one who feels as if a part of me has died.
Think I’ve ripped my knee to shreds at 5 aside tonight, completely flunked a job interview before then, and this is still the toughest thing I’ve had to go through today.
What a man, will smile when I think about him for the rest of my life 💛💙
Having been a fan through the Revie years and everything that followed it, i can't express to me how much Marcelo means to me and what he has done for the club.
It wasn't the winning that made me love him, it was the cavalier approach, how we attacked teams where most teams just park the bust and hope to lose 1 or 2 nil.
It's about how he made Leeds popular with the neutrals, and had people enthusing over our football. He made me love football again.
For me he was the best, the Special One, and we will miss him
He was more than a manager, he imbued the spirit of what a good human should be. He transcended the typical "Manager" role, and felt more like a dad to us all, the dad some of us never had. He was the epitome of passion, devotion and knowledge, and know what this club and city meant to him makes me feel privileged to have had a manager like him. There is nobody else i'd rather have, and he gave us some beautiful memories.
What kills me most, is watching him hug his assistant for about 20 minutes after beating Burnley, things seemed like they were on the turn... I remember saying, it felt like he was fighting for his place at the club, he kept saying he knew he wasn't invincible on the interviews, and though many were calling for his head- I dont think anybody really imagined him going the way he did.
It wasn't long ago, I was saying "How the fuck are we going to do this without him" when he finally goes, and feeling lucky to have this man - wondering "How the fuck did Leeds manage to get his interest? Why Leeds? He's too good for us".
And now all that is gone. Jesse march resumes the role of manager, not role model or father. (Who knows)
Goodbye Marcelo, and thank you for giving me something to look forward to, being trapped in living on my own during covid, with nobody. Depressed, struggling and suicidal, I looked forward to the prospect of us beating the teams higher up in the table and the entertainment, alongside the companionship of feeling a part of something different.
Stay strong and keep believing 💪
Jon Richardson can now justify his entirely depressed comic front. Bielsa was a gem in the age of hustle, he is what we are not as a society: True, humble, determined, confident, disciplined, loyal and consistent.
This is why some South American fans have followed his career, like a messiah.
8 months on and my heart is still aching. This man will forever inspire me. And from a fan perspective Jon Richardson has just gone up a couple of hundred notches. It was a genuine heartfelt moment of anguish. I suppose in an odd way this is what bonds and glues us fans together. Let's keep on Marching On TOGETHER. 👍
Compare Bielsa to the rotund Everton manager demanding an apology for bad refereeing decision... just wouldn't happen. I'm proud of that. Hope the new guy takes note.
Thanks for sharing this. It's strangely reassuring. I feel utterly bereft and that nothing will be the same or as enjoyable as the last three and a half years. You're right Dan - it is exactly like a bereavement. I'm sure it'll pass and I'll move on, at which point I'll be more able to feel grateful for the time that Bielsa was with us. Right now, it's just fucking sad.
You enjoyed the 7 nil,the 6 nil,the constant playing of out of form players and Tyler Roberts did ya?this season has been a disaster and there us a reason he doesn't stay over 4 years at a club..before now .Players got tired of the same message every day
What about dave o leary..he got us to the champions league semi!When he left were grown men crying.?
Thanks so much for this video guys. If I hadn’t been at work yesterday and my mind otherwise occupied I think I would have shed a few tears when the news finally broke. And I’m a 35 year old man!
I was really struggling to organise all my emotions around this and all of you said such poignant things about why we love Marcelo and why this is such a loss. This video has helped me start the healing process, but I will miss him dearly.
Thank you Marcelo, for everything.
I always remember the stoke game, after 10 minutes I was ringing everyone asking If they were watching what I was watching, I will always remember Bielsa with fondness, a gentleman who never complained about circumstances, I'm so sorry he was sacked, he deserved more, no manager could achieve what he did with the quality of players we had. Thank you for the memories.
How a man born so far from Leeds managed to embody all the best parts of a club, city and values is incredible. Honesty, integrity, trust, humility, values, leadership, attention to detail, side before self, entertainment, the flowing football, players made better giving their all. He returned pride and hope and its sad that he was treated poorly but never complained . Thank You Bielsa We miss you and wish you the future that you deserve.
This absolutely sums up how I am feeling. You guys have put in words exactly how I've felt since Sunday morning. We've lost more than a football manager. We've lost a leader who gave me the same love I had for football back in the old days. Won't be the same again. Thank you guys for sharing the heartache I feel. 💙💛
Gutted to see him go. It feels like the end of the era and that's why it hurts. He reinvigorated my love of the club and For the first time in a decade I felt excited again. Football is a game of entertainment and he did that. We were either amazing or shite but rarely were we uninteresting...were you not entertained...yes Marcelo we were entertained. Thank you
Great pod guys. I think you summed up perfectly how we are all feeling. We as a club, city, set of fans and just humans owe so much to Marcelo. I feel incredibly fortunate to have been able to witness his tenure and be a part of it. Not ashamed to admit that I have shed tears about this and it will take some time for me to get used to it. Thank you guys for being a voice for a majority of us. Thank you Marcelo, you will probably never know how much you mean to us and what these 3 and half years have done for us all.
I just want to know , he knows what he means to us and how much we owe him ,
Fantastic work, in far from fantastic circumstances. Always good to hear that, when we have somewhat irrational thoughts, we're not alone. You say Bielsa got you through lockdown, and he did for all of us too. More than that, the Square Ball needs to take a pat on the back. You guys, and the content you've created, goes hand in hand with the Bielsa era, and I'm thankful for the work you put in to keep us entertained and united in our support. Not to mention dragging countless numbers of us through an incredibly difficult time personally. What a bright shining light you were in lockdown, alongside Bielsa's Super Leeds.
Completely understand the guilt feeling. After the spurs game I was raging, wanted a change etc. But now I feel so responsible just for even thinking he had to go.
I feel like it's the right decision to progress the club but like you say.. it's more than just the football with Bielsa.
Great podcast guys
Mate.. I've been struggling so much with this. I was raging think after Liverpool? I wanted change. I wanted a new face from the football side. But now I don't even care about the football.. The guilt is horrible. I'd have been buzzing if we got a new man in and Bielsa got the opportunity to go upstairs helping development. We're all Leeds and here with you pal 💙💛
So great that you went to see Marcelo at Thorp Arch today Jon. If only I could get a message to him it would be this... Thank you Marcelo for everything you've done to help Leeds United and for the great successes and unforgettable victorious sporting moments you brought us. Thank you for choosing Leeds, for studying our history and our region, and for being a shining light of humility, compassion and connection with the people of our area. In times when the worst possible people with the worst possible qualities are leading us into disaster after disaster, your humility and integroty as a human being was a beacon of hope amongst this darkness. Remember always the great things you did for the supporters of Leeds United and how we will always love and revere you.
Exactly this 👏👏👏👏👏
Sobbing again now. Gracias por todo, Marcelo! Te queremos. Marchando juntos, siempre!
Bielsa should have been given to the end of the season this just feels wrong on every level. He had so much credit in the bank with us all I feel the Board have got this completely wrong and betrayed all the principles we’d all embraced. Phil Hay has betrayed us too with his tweets at the final whistle so its compounded the hurt. As you said we just want him to be happy and be able to look back on his time here fondly. Devastated is not too strong a word for how I’m feeling and a big part of that is knowing we’ll never experience this again. Absolutely love the guy, Gracias Marcelo.
He was the only manager that could get us back in the premier league the rest was trash. Thank you MR Bielsa for all you have done for us
Nice to hear someone else admits to shedding a tear .
Just found 'The Square Ball' searching around for reflections on Mr Bielsa. You've got it spot on gentlemen. I'm 61, turned off for years by the way people, TV, pundits ignore the cheating, the rolling around on the pitch, the fouls that never were etc. etc in modern football. The Kings new clothes I call it. Thanks to Mr Bielsa's whole approach, I too have fallen back in love with Leeds Utd's football club. Feelings I'd long forgotten since Revie and that team. The reality is we've had a real King of football. I'm so pleased I recognised it for what it was and bathed in the sheer pleasure and delight of it. Gone but never forgotten
Too upset to get out of car is so Sad 😞 How much Leeds Fans meant to him. 😢
Im 19, and while I have been supporting leeds since the league 1 promotion year, the Bielsa era really made me connect with the club in a way thats more than just cheering on every saturday
His style of play,personality and most importadly morals were hugely admirable and it's a huge shame how it ended, I wouldve loved to see him finish the season and get the grand send off he deserves
Thank you El Loco
BIELSA WAS UNIQUE THERE WAS NO ONE ELSE LIKE HIM
Thanks Lads gutted that Mr Bielsa has been sacked a great, great, humble man to me should of been in charge until the end of the season thanks Mr Bielsa part of your soul will always be with Leeds United football club and most of All Leeds United supporter's 👏🇦🇷🇮🇨🦚 love you always Mr Bielsa keep fighting,man of the people Marching on together forever shouldn't have happened this way 🇦🇷🇮🇨🦚👊✊👏🤝🏟️ heart of a 🦁 lion 🏟️🤝👏✊👊🦚🇮🇨🇦🇷
A video of appreciation for Marcelo Bielsa. Big love X
Spurs fan here, taken aback by the similarities (perhaps not surprisingly given their relationship) between the fan reaction to Bielsa's sacking and Pochettino's. I truly loved Poch as much as you can love someone who is a total stranger to you. He not only transformed us on the pitch, but he was an honourable, brilliant man off it, one who truly loved the club and its fans.
Everyone took the piss out of us for not winning anything but I just didn't care - he made me feel a way about football and Spurs that I hadn't ever really felt before, and it's no coincidence that since he's left the relationship between the fans and club has been totally severed. Here's hoping the post-Bielsa era goes better for you than the post-Poch era is for us.
I live in Nottingham and have been trying to explain to the Forest fans why i, and the rest of the fans, feel so upset about Bielsa going like this. It is almost impossible to express the emotions without sounding a bit like a jilted lover. Like you said, unless you have been on the inside of this you just won't get it.
You would have have thought Forest fans would understand how we feel considering Cloughie was their Manager.
Thanks lads. That’s helped a little.
More than a year on, watching this again still brings tears to my eyes in a way football never ever does. What an absolute legend of a man he is. Like Jon said, it's not even really about the football even though that was amazing as well.
It's never been only a game has it? Having loved this club since watching Bobby Collins, Arthur Johaneson, Alan Peacock, Jim Storrie et al I have never felt the same emotional attachment as I have over the past 4 years 😢 Muchos gracias para todos, Sènor Bielsa! The highs, the lows, the decency, humility and integrity that you have once more brought to this institution! Thanks also to the TSB team for documenting our anguish and guilt ! MOT 🤍💛💙 Vamos Leeds carajo!
Albert Johanneson.
Thank you ever so much for a wonderful wake guys. You all got it just right. Marcello is a wonderful human being who created a great atmosphere of belief at Elland Road.
The only thing that I don’t agree with is that we didn’t follow him to the end.
How can you change things round after nearly 4years. Everybody knows their job and responsibilities and that’s what we looked forward to seeing every week. I do hope the new man works out. But more importantly I hope Marcello will be happy wherever he ends up. I miss him so much already.
The only upside for me now is that maybe next year I can finally get a season ticket!
Its so sad, just cried for 37 minutes
Weve lost something unique that everyone else wanted and were quietly jealous of ....something Leeds have never had before....
this is what I sent to him.
Marcelo, I was in a dark place in my personal life when you arrived at Elland Road, the way you carry yourself as a man and a human being made me realize I can take control and come out the other side, the football helped massively of course and I cant thank you enough for that, but on a personal level you saved me in a way and I can never repay you for that. I got a tattoo of yourself on my leg to remind me of these times. God speed, Vamos Leeds Carajo, Grascias Marcelo, you will be forever loved.
Back again, still heart broken. He left the day after my birthday so not sure I can ever forget.
Grateful to have seen him squatting at the touch line in leeds clobber
Just watched this beautiful, poignant tribute for the first time. Thanks for doing this you guys… and thanks Marcelo for making us all fall in love with football again.
Comforting words fellas thank you. Bielsa has imprinted on us all and nobody can take this chapter away from us. Farewell to the legend that is Marcelo Bielsa. And now we're Marsching on together!
Thks for the commendable work done during your tenure of office at LUFC. U've trimmed a team.... But every beautiful journey comes to an end.. EL LOCCO will always be cherished by all Leeds fans n the whole community people in Yorks hire.....
A few months after this video, crowds were chanting Bielsa's name at new manager, Jesse Marsh... and then we brought in Big Sam for the last few games.... we went down..... what an era. ❤ 🍷
Love this. Ty guys.
I've never seen a manager get so much love while having bad results and getting the sack.
He is 1 in 2 million. MOT
Beautifully put guys.
My goodness, my dear old thing! My wild romance-Thank you, Marcello. I have followed United since the '60s and recently gave up on football altogether and then, I watched, by accident Leeds play Stoke, in August 2019 in the championship and was once again, forever smitten!
Watching this again to try and remember the times when u could be proud of your club.
Jon hit it on the head, childlike innocence, yup that’s what we lost.
Absolutely brilliant comments which REALLY sum up my feelings. The man was & still is a genius & represents everything that is great not only in football but in life. Honest, principled, humble, hard working and forced out because the suits were lacking most of those attributes. LUFC were always better with MB than without and now we are missing the messiah so thanks for all the wonderful memories.
Love the preseason game vs Newells idea
Marcelo going is going to take some getting over, he bought something to our club we haven't seen in years. Thank you El Loco for everything you've done, you will forever be in our hearts
I found myself in Wetherby Morrison's a fair few times over lockdown always hopeful that I'd bump into the Great Man, never managed to bump into him to say thanks for everything He'd done.
Might have to pop in to the Rosario branch now?
Thanks for Everything Marcelo Bielsa!
Watching this a year and a half on from Marcelo's sacking, and I realise that we might never have that again. We've been relegated after the worst season for a long time. The players have lost their heart since Bielsa left. Watching his football made me fall in love with football, not just simply watch it. He kept the shit show of a club running, for that we can never say thank you enough. Gracias, Marcelo 🤍💙💛
Brilliant as always. Thank you for this.
As a city fan, I've followed him, because pep loves him so much. He credits Bielsa with teaching him so much, not just his beautiful football, but as a human being.
He's a great loss for the Premier league & I'm really upset, so sorry for Leeds fans.
I'm so sad it ended like this. Looks like the board undermined him towards the end. No respect. No goodbye. Disgraceful. Not only one of the best managers Leeds has ever had, but one of the greats of global football.
Rather have gone down to championship with this fantastic manager, Bielsa, than the irrelevant, pointless, ordinary managers who followed. Bielsa had that special magic.Leeds was rejuvenated and came together in a unique way. it was so fun,good, fun, inspiring, a new lease of like. Much prefer to have gone down to Championship and back with him ,than waht we have. Seems we have lost the magix.
Had I the Bielsa football style,
Made of attacking and crazy play,
Unique, committed, ethical style
Of wins and losses but always fair-play,
I would spread Bielsa underground your feet:
But I, being a fan, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
Better survive as a poet than live as a thief,
Thank you Bielsa for giving us this belief.
You should spread this far and wide ALAW
Bless him
On a human level, a very sad day for MB. However, the board have a lot to answer for. We don't know the full facts but players should have been bought in January. If that was a issue to MB, we should have parted then? The board have taken a massive gamble.
Watching this again. I still miss him. As a man, and a manager.
I knew I loved him but it was when I realised I would rather the team get relegated than Marcelo leave. Such a great podcast. Captured the mood precisely. xx
Absolutely brilliant guys given the situation. All of you summed it up perfectly.
great coversation, At work today it was clear to me that fans from other clubs has no idea what he really meant to Leeds fans, and i think you guys summed it up brilliantly .
Like all Leeds United fans I am feeling very sad at what has happened,But I also remember 15th June 2018 when Marcelo Bielsa came to leeds, my club Leeds United was born again,my love for football was born again,my love for life was born again,so I am calling on the SQUARE BALL pod cast,I am calling on the TALKING SHUTT pod cast,I am calling on the LS11 pod cast to get together and on the 15 June each year organise at Bremner Square a Born again Selabration in tribute to Marcelo Bielsa simply because we owe him so much for what he has done for not just the club but for the people of leeds
If you haven't followed Leeds then it's hard to understand the affinity the fans feel for such a great man. I would mirror Jon in that I've never felt so sad about any manager leaving or even when Leeds were relegated etc. Bielsa's Leeds will forever be a special memory for everyone with anything invested in the club during those years.
Bielsa wasn't just a coach or a manager. He was an inspiration to us all, and a very humble, down-to-earth and genuine person. He enjoyed simple things, he was a no-nonsense guy, he had character and belief in people I'd never thought would amount to anything. For what he did, he deserved to finish the season. I don't even care if we would have gotten relegated or not. I just wanted him to finish what he started. In any case, I have a feeling he would have kept us in the Prem anyway.
Bielsa = True ❤️...Wont be able watch anymore games wout him on the side line! Need sometime to settle 😢
Absolutely fucking gutted. (I've noticed a lack of MOT's in all the comments from Leeds fans regarding this. I think that's quite telling.
Bielsa showed an honesty, integrity and humanity rarely seen in the world of professional football. How privileged we have been to have him in our club. He wouldn’t have cheats and divers in his team. He purified Leeds United and I love him for that. He got us playing super attractive football which had the world purring. Yesterday was a sad sad day - but our club goes on. The King is dead, long live the King. Let’s all get behind Jesse Marsch. MOT.
Thanks a lot lads! Just got though this far in the week. Now you’ve set me of again, sat here crying again, TBH, we’ve fuckin loved the last 3 years. Never lose it. It was bloody brilliant. I have a photo in the kitchen and every morning this week, I’ve said good morning Marcelo , thank you for everything. ❤️🇺🇾
Thanks guys, this felt like the eulogy I needed for our beloved Marcelo
greatly summed up how i feel i still remember how much i was smiling coming out of ER after battering stoke and being in the peacock before listening to everyone moaning about the line up saying don't care how good he is he'll do fuck all with this lot true genius and gent
It is an unidentifiable and unquantifiable feeling and response to Marcelo leaving. It feels like bereavement. It feels like we are back to normal again. That we have lost something special. Something pure. He is a wonderful man. Like he is our father. I hope he can come back and we can give him the love he truly deserves.
Those words ‘he’s too upset to come out’ and then ‘oh Christ’ honestly it kills me… Bielsa deserved so much better I’m ashamed of myself for not going to thank him. I went to Elland Road on Sunday to show my support but never gave it a thought to go to TA to thank him. We will rue him leaving Leeds mark my words.
from the Toon but always liked leeds grew up watching the toon play Revies teams and sad to see the guy go he always made me smile sitting on his box with a coffee specs on the end of his nose a great shame with another lost character.
Thank you for that ❤️
Bielsa showed the games beauty. The power of sport to provide an example of how to live with passion, integrity and honour. The ability to build a community around common values with equal respect for one and other regardless of background.
But in doing so he’s highlighted how soulless things have become. Pricks on social media looking for bites, billionaires playing status games. Football can be so much more than it is.
If I’m honest I’m just emotionally numb from what’s happened. Don’t care anymore. They call us the widows of Bielsa - the perfect marriage is over, last thing you want to do is go lay in bed with Jesse Marsh. No doubt he’s a top bloke but can’t be arsed.
Football will never be the same for me. But the memories will persist. His effect on this city will not fade. Gracias Marcelo. We will miss you
Bielsa is a wonderful coach.
He made happen what no one could. After 16 yrs. He made mediocre players nationals. He deserves all respect
Really hope the new guy is gonna keep us in the premier League. Mainly because I hope we won't regret sacking Bielsa in a month.
💛💙
Bueno. Thank you so very much for sharing your thoughts and capturing the mood that most of us are feeling right now .
Incredible to feel so sad for a loss of someone who you never really knew or met.
That part from 20:30 should be everything what football is about, especially today.
Beautiful program!!! Thanks!!!
The board didn't have the courage to wait for the return of the injured and the recovery of the team. I have no doubt that from Leicester on things will straighten out. A pity that they haven't let that happen with Marcelo as manager.
New stadium and friendly against Newhalls old boys or minimum preseason friendly v old boys. Now there's a respect suggestion for Bielsa. He might even be given a chance to turn up. Do it. Come on do it on the off chance someone can thank him again for the humanity and experience we've had x
these septic tanks had better hope this turns out right because, (in a Samuel L Jackson voice) "we will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy our Bielsa!"
I'm a Newcastle Fan and as much as I don't like Leeds I can empathise / sympathise for you guys. This is the same as our 'Keegan' moment, and as much as opposing fans and pundits can have their say and take the P they don't understand and never had what we had. We still hark back to the Keegan Years, it's all we've had to hang onto for nearly 30 years, pathetic I know but it was maybe once in a life time thing, until the Saudi's arrived. I'm now 60 years old and may well die without seeing Newcastle win anything, although there maybe a chance now. Great Podcast lads and I wish you all the best.
@The Square Ball I love to see you lads wearing the shirt I love (NOB) and Marcelo Bielsa also achieved that... he united us in some way and not only in football but also in his values. I hope you keep the permanence PL, especially not to tarnish the great work he has done in all these years in Leeds and all those who placed their trust in him.... MoT!!!
*but not for the clowns at Leeds Insider. Leeds Leeds Leeds!
Thanks Square ball.
Great video.
Bielsa is Leeds Uniteds second best manager in the history, after Uncle Don. Im not happy at all, and take a " LEEDS UNITED " breake for the rest of this season.
Stay or going down, i really dont care.
Bielsa is a true LEGEND.
