are we going to treat Leon the same way as harding

[Hungry Joe]

He didn't take the piss? are you kidding. I felt Harding took the piss a little bit but at least he didn't try to destabalise moral within the team so as to engineer a move or the dismissal of the manager. Harding didn't always try his hardest but at least he applied himself unlike Knight who plays soley for himself and was a lazy little xxxx.

I personally think Hardings ok and was gutted to lose him. Knight can get f***ed.

Maybe you're right, I just don't know for sure. The thing that has always got my goat about Leon, especially now, is the fact that I used to hear this every game; scene - Leon doesn't controll a shit pass with no one near him in support and goes to ground = "come on Knight you lazy little shit, work harder" etc etc, 5 minutes later, Leon scores/makes a goal scoring pass/opportunity = "Leon Knight, Knight, Knight!"..from the same mouths. Bollocks, he did a great job getting us promoted, have some dignity and respect for what he did. It didn't work out in the end, so what? That happens to loads of pro footballers. I think the abuse he's getting on here is well out of order and frankly f***ing shameful.

As far as Bates programme notes indicated the payment was made before New Years.

Many thanks - here's to the next 20 games

You ripped us of, but I'm not gonna hold that against you

And to our promotion, I think you get some extra money if we go up as well.

Maybe your right but from what I know until the beginning of this season he didn't particularly care about the club or the fans, that includes the play-off season. Started to show an interest at the beginning of this year with his little Le Harve video diary but that enthusiasm soon disapated. The stuff your talking about is usual fans shit, shouting crap at players through the match. Thats not to excuse it but to say that a lot of people talk shit, but that doesn't mean he wasn't being lazy. He thought the club, the team and the fans were there for him. He wasted his talent while he was with us (except that first season in a division where he found it easier to get his way) and in general had a bad attitude and clearly thought he was above the club.

Maybe the abuse is OTT but he part brings it on himself. Take Charlie for instance, we can ( and do ) debate his ability / lack of forever, but no one will question his desire and determination to do well for his club, and that is and always will be a basic requirement from any fan however 'talented' a player may be.

If he ever returns - and it's far from certain - I'll greet LK with silence. There's an equal balance between my disapproval of his attitude to the team, the fans (yes - broadly speaking ignored) and the manager and my acclaim for his one golden year and the sheer balls of his penalty taking until he was sussed by better goalkeepers. On second thoughts, maybe I'll boo him in the first half and applaud in the second.

From todays Argus a quote from from Chippy :

"I'm not bothered. Leon's Leon and at the end of the day he has got himself a decent move. Swansea are a good side.

"Leon's got great ability and nobody has ever doubted the fact that he is a good player.

"Unfortunately, somewhere along the line he's lost himself a little bit and probably a change will do him the world of good.

"Put it this way, there's no hiding place down there. The fans, as passionate as they are, expect players to give no less than 100 per cent.

"If they feel people are pulling the wool over their eyes they won't accept it."

I can hear those Swans calling him a lazy shit already !!!!

They both took the piss out of our football club, intentional or not

How do you unintentionally take the piss out of a football club?
