It would be worth signing Phillips just to piss their fans off.

It would. Anything that pisses off Leeds fans is OK with me. Twats

I just had a scan read of that. I forgot what a staggering decline Wolves had. 6th in Division one to division 4 in six years. Wow.

A lot of Twatter chatter about Phillips. And Leeds fans asking if we've even played in the Champions League.

I love it when fans ask us that. Normally Leeds, Newcastle, Blackburn etc.

You'd think that, as self-styled number one haters of Man United, Leeds wouldn't be keen to perpetuate the "football was only invented in August 1992" narrative.

The social media shuffle, where a player en mass decides to start following another clubs players, has created another Twatter chatter buzz. Phillips has decided to follow on Instagram a load of our players and Terry. So naturally this means it's on.

It's like calling a restaurant in New York, but for 2019.

I loved the H and V response which was to forensically rate and then trash the wine list.

If you want to piss off any Leeds fans just tell them that Don Revie paid bungs to fix matches as this video with their former goalie and whistle blower Gary Sprake details
&t=305s




Clough's appointment as successor to Don Revie (who was idolised by his players) at Elland Road was destined to be a short affair from day one when he told Billy Bremner, Johnny Giles, Jack Charlton, Peter Lorimer and the rest of the senior players "As far as I'm concerned you can throw all your medals in the bin because you got them from cheating."

Thanks for confirming.
For a city that size with just one club, not great.

That is actually probably quite a good indicator, unless he's also just started following a lot of other players.

Yeah. I'd take that as an indicator of one of two things - he's either signing or he wants to. Both good things, the latter would be encouraging given all the talk about him preferring to stay at Leeds.

Tbh, of our business so far, he's the one I'd get most excited about. A strong footballing DM can make a huge difference in terms of league places and he looks like he has potential to improve quite a bit more too.

He's following Jack, Hourihane, Tshibola, Lansbury and Terry. Unless he started following all of them yesterday then I wouldn't read too much into it as, not surprisingly, he also follows a billion other footballers and if we were using this as a guide he's going to Man City or Liverpool. However, for those who DO like conspiracy theories... he also follows Tammy so maybe Tammy is coming too!!! I suspect he's played at youth level with Tshibola and Tammy.

And finally, he also follows............................................... Micah Richards and Fabian Delph
