[Albion] Deluded Leeds (an EFL club) fans

Poor Leeds fans saying white would have kicked on and got England recognition sooner if he played for a big club.

In other news. I note Leeds striker and second highest scoring Englishman in the league is not in the squad. Odd.

Interesting point but you need to look at it less simplistically. I gather Southgate prefers to play with one no 9. He has Kane and Calvert Lewin as first and second choice with other players that can play as a false 9 (ie rashford, sterling etc). So it was always going to be a challenge for Bamford given the competition.

White on the other hand benefits from being versatile and while Southgate obviously has some concerns over Maguirs's fitness so his chances were much higher.

To look at it more simplistically about who a player plays for is fine but only answers half the question. Given what I just said and the season that Leeds had I would not have been surprised if White got a call up earlier. His profile would have been even higher than it already is.

I'll caveat this with the fact that I have disliked Leeds for longer than last summer and was as pi??ed off as any of you over last summers saga from their fans.

I think Newport County fans may have a thing or two to say about that

What do they know, before Ben White joined Leeds he didn't even know what a football was. Pure guess work by the Newport manager at the time saying Ben would play for England, I bet he says it about every loaning signing so he's right eventually.

Do Millwall fans keep banging on about them making Harry Kane in the same way? I mean in between their various racial slurs and threats.

No chance Leeds go down. They create far too many chances. Yes they didn’t create a single big chance vs us but we did a proper number on them. I can’t see them failing to win enough games. The blades season was a complete fluke. I still don’t know how it happened.

Good footballing teams coming up this summer which is great. We should be able to pick them off much better than bus parking.

The Blades first season was basically the reverse of us this year.

They got all the scrappy 1-0's and odd goal wins.
The Utd keeper did a lot of heavy lifting.

Just been speaking to Leeds fan who's a work colleague.

Reckons Bamford getting picked was wishful thinking and Waistcoat is a closet Villa fan for picking Watkins.

Also not convinced about BW. "looks like Maldini against average opposition".

Can't disagree really.....

I knew Leeds fans would be claiming the credit for White’s call up :nono:

According to the links posted earlier Ben was definitely picked for England because of a season in the 2nd division rather than one in the PL. Clowns. Anyway, thought I would post this. Its not about Leeds fans as such but one of their dopey players.

It appears that Ben has been picked for England but Bamford hasn’t. That’s karma, dopey.

So Ben White has been picked for England because of his versatility playing in various positions.

I’m pretty sure Leeds fans were claiming that by us playing him in various positions we were sending his career backwards.

Deluded twats !!!
