I wasn’t thinking of anyone in particular mate. But there are a few who can’t come to terms with us signing ex Owls.

I was stood in front of one at Norwich last Saturday. Every time Madine touched the ball he called him a great lump or a pig and was more delighted when he got subbed than when we scored the equaliser!
Madine comes with considerably more baggage.

Baggage that some are unable to detach from.

There has been a lot recently about how a decent percentage of followers of football go to games with the primary objective to “vent”.

These people, in my humble opinion, can fuck off to the end of time, and never disgrace a football stadium ever again.

Vent over !!

Oh Leon, thanks for the memories. He's given us some good ones, that's for sure..I'd have settled for his contribution towards those 100 points...And then, that day in September. After the usual post-derby cooling off period, my Wednesday supporting mate, sort of, came to terms with losing. But I doubt still has come to terms with "lazy" Leon scoring 2...:) GLTTL indeed
 
Been a brilliant signing for us over all. Once he was fully fit for a period of a year he was as good a striker as I’ve seen for us for a long long time. Looked dangerous every game and was borderline unplayable.

His form dipped abit towards the end of last year, but that was true of most of the side to be fair. And sharp and Mcgoldrick have been starting on merit this year but He still never gave less than 100%.

His highlight reel for us will contain some stunners that none of our other strikers are capable of!

That said sharp and mcgolrick have been starting on merit and it’s not a bad move all round now - hopefully he goes and takes some point of our rivals.

That looks like someone described the Bohemian Rhapsody video to David Blunkett and asked him to draw it...
 
Sad he's gone with a nagging doubt that he should still be here.

Leon, you are a fucking legend mate. I apologise in advance for how I will react if I see you in person in the next 20 years.
 
It's a shame he hasn't had a chance to say goodbye to the fans and as we've played Wigan twice, he may not get it.

He certainly deserves one last thanks for the great memories he has helped provide. He may not be a legend like a Woodward or Hodgkinson or Hagan but he's certainly etched his name into some legendary moments over the past couple of years.

Thanks Big Man - Leon, Leon, Leon!

He'll be back for the play offs. ;)
 
personally I think we'd score more goals with him as third striker than we will with Madine, so I'm not too happy about this, but Wilder thinks differently so what do I know.

If we don't go up I wouldn't be surprised if he's back next season.
 
Best of luck to Leon. If he plays regularly he will score between 7 and 10 goals between now and the end of the season for them, hopefully against teams in the top 6.

I also think it's a lot to do with beer!

I took a mate of mine with me to Norwich. I drove. We parked up half an hour from the ground and went for a pint. At least, I went for a pint (2 actually) - he had 5 or 6.

On entering the ground, not surprisingly, he was dying for a piss. The toilets were right next to our gangway. Gangway G. So I said to him, "I'll go and sit down, we're on Row B, that'll be near the front.". Now, if that sounds a bit "parental" on my part, believe me, it's necessary. This kid is not really capable of working out which order the alphabet comes in (and I'm not joking btw). Neither could he look at a row of seats and work out from the numbers whether he needs to go to the left or right. And if you think that's unusual...it's not. It's obviously something that affects the majority of folks, as I found out especially when I went to Bristol City last season. I think I was told I was in the wrong seat at least 4 times, by thicko's who couldn't work out which "Block" they were supposed to be in. Anyhow...

20 minutes in to the game and he's still not joined me. I was a bit concerned. He's a big lad and, I don't know, sometimes I think he's a candidate for a bloody heart attack and it crossed my mind something might have happened to him. I turned round to look in the crowd - and there he was, a few rows back. He'd gone to row G and kicked someone out of their seat, thinking it was his! :rolleyes: Few folk would argue with him I suppose.

He spots me and I mouth to him something along the lines of..."Wherefore art thou standing up there for - quo vadis?" He then signals to me he's on his way down to join me.

Two minutes later and he comes roaring (literally) in to the space at the side of me. "Get effin' stuck in Madine - tha not 'ard nah a tha"" "Effin gerrem teld Billy - put some effin effort in" "Effin come on Blades - it's effin rubbish this" "effin come on". And it was like that right up to the moment when Billy got the equaliser from the penalty. Then, with a blast of "that's effin better Blades - effin come on nah" he quietened down a bit.

To be honest, I just wondered why I'd bothered to bring to his attention where his seat was. In fact I wondered why I'd bothered to offer to take him with me to Norwich in the first place. Without a drink he's a nice lad - salt o' the earth. But with a drink in him, he's like a different person. I'm sure there are many folks like that.

Drink AND the Blades are a potentially lethal cocktail though. Both can bend your mind and make you do and say silly things due to the drug enhanced state of the mind.

My missus commented only the other week that when I can't get to the game and I'm watching Geoff Stelling or listening to RS at home, I am bloody useless between 3 and 5pm on a Saturday. I go into a kind of limbo state of mind like those dudes who you see around who have taken the Spice drug. Once I come back around again (5pm onwards and for the rest of the weekend) I'm back to being a useful chap again.

I have learnt to not try doing DIY with power tools though when the Utd matches are on after Utd once scored, and I almost tried cutting off my fingers with an angle grinder whilst punching the air in ecstasy.

I don't recall going with you Norwich...
 
Just wait for the next one :D

Tell us mate, tell us now.
Don't worry about all that 'put it on the rumours board until it's for confirmed' stuff.
You obviously know enough to be trusted with your itk sources.
Step aside Sunjihai there's a new kid in town :)
 
Will always remember my Wednesday mate texting mine after tithe massacre.

"We made that fat lazy bastard Leon look like the original Ronaldo FFS"

So sweet.
 
Wonder if his gloves have gone out only loan with him. Could have done with borrowing a pair for Saturday.
 
22.46.
Wigan have accepted a £4million bid from Sunderland for striker Will Grigg.

That's why they wanted Leonnnnnnnnnnnnn
