Ooh-er, apparently one of the Leeds squad gave Palace the team sheet before the match. Much good it did them but apparently Wise has said said player will never play for Leeds again. I hope it's someone shit!
The WACCOE forums have named practically everyone as a suspect now. I think it might be Derry though, since he used to be Palace and Butterfield was the best man at his wedding. That's a shame, he was a hard worker. We'll see how it turns out.
Predictably, this week has been another shambles for Leeds United. They can't even do a 'mole scandal' properly.
I switched off the radio after the Palace game quite content with the win and went about my business. The first I heard of this treachery was your post, tommydski. My eyes rolled. They couldn't just win and leave it, could they?
So, having declared that the guilty player would never play for the club again, Leeds admitted yesterday that they don't actually know who the player is. Apparently they had a team meeting and offered him the chance to own up, like a fucking school assembly or something. Noone stepped forward. Wise says "the boys are bubbly". I bet they fucking are.
The most plausible scenario I've heard is that Derry went to the Crystal Palace hotel to see old friends from his former club, or spoke to them on the phone; and mentioned that he wouldn't be in the team the next day, and so-so was playing instead.
The most ridiculous scenario I've heard is that it's all an elaborate scheme to frame Gary Kelly and find cause to sack him, saving the club the last four months of (expensive) contract.
Whatever happened, Leeds United have handled it with their usual lack of grace. Also, they've closed the club shop outlets in Leeds city centre and the White Rose shopping centre. Another notch on the bedpost of decline.
Sly Bug, I haven't had chance to watch the most recent videos you've posted yet, but I did run that story about the ear-plaster through Google translator. It had me chuckling at work, as Google translations always do! It was a smart, non-violent way of fucking with an opponent, that's for sure.
Oh, and Bolton against Arsenal in the FA Cup last night was a damn good game. Ivan Campo is funny, last minute equalisers are brilliant, and the two Arsenal forwards sprinting in the last minute from the half way line towards a Bolton defence - of Jussi Jaaskalainen on his own - was painful to watch, but sort of a great way to end.
