Just hope we have a ref that isn't going to be intimidated. I can see some crunching tackles coming in and it's down to the players to keep cool heads and not let it get to them.....are you listening Mr Maher

A love the fact that Dennis Wise is an utter idiot the ref's going to be looking at Leeds the whole game now.

 

[MK Shrimper]

Wise, what a knobber. If any of our boys get injured because of this I hope the FA kick his arse back to Swindon.

 

[Uncle Leo]

A nasty little **** of a manger for a nasty big **** of a club. They deserve each other.

Don Hutchinson was on telly last night talking about Wise's tricks. After a foul Wise would go to help the other player up but pinch them at the same time. He said Gary Neville was caught by it one time and got sent off for reacting.

I just hope our players can stay calm, whatever dirty tricks Leeds get up to. Rise above it lads and show them how to play football.

Nicky Butt certainly got done by this. It was on a live Sky game.

didn't he grab Butt by the gonads? I know he does the old 'pulling armpit hair' routine as well, as perfected by Razor Ruddock

I thought it was a pinch on the inside of the leg? I swear you could see him mouth 'ginger b******s' at him as well.

And Ronaldo in the FA Cup final

Least we've got a good penalty taker

All well and good the ref being forewarned of it, but it is a completely different matter as to whether the referee has the balls to blow up for it.

Leeds are a big club, we are a small club. Leeds are at home, we are away. Any benefit of the doubt (eg will I be lynched for sending him off for something most of the crowd will have missed) will go to Leeds.

So what did Wisey say then?

?

 

[SUFC_Al]

Should make for an interesting game! There's a lot of media around Leeds this week, lets hope it has an adverse effect on them!

From Sporting Life

New Leeds manager Dennis Wise wasted no time in stamping his authority on the ailing Yorkshire club and told sceptical fans he was now one of them - whether they liked it or not.

The former Chelsea midfielder, a player the Leeds fans used to love to hate, insisted he can get the club back to the Barclays Premiership and said he was ready to start wielding the axe in pursuit of success.

The no-nonsense 39-year-old revealed at a press conference where he and assistant Gus Poyet were introduced to the media that his first task was to strip Paul Butler of the team captaincy and hand the role to Kevin Nicholls.

Wise stated it was clearly evident from the Carling Cup defeat to Southend in midweek that the dressing room was not harmonious.

But he was pleasantly surprised by the welcome he received from fans at Elland Road and insisted he had already put what had gone on in the past firmly behind him.

"I was expecting a couple of things to be launched at my head," Wise joked when asked about the crowd's reaction on Tuesday.

"But no, it was very nice of them to give me a clap and a cheer.

"No matter about the past. I'm here to try to do a job and achieve something for Leeds United Football Club and I'll give them as much as I can give them.

"I'm not very tall, but I'll give them everything I've got."

Wise, who guided Millwall to the FA Cup final in 2004 and steered Swindon to third place in the Coca-Cola League Two table when he answered Leeds chairman Ken Bates' SOS, said the players were in desperate need of a boost.

"They do need confidence, that's important and they need to be together, they need to be in it together - that's the most important part," said Wise.

"Having watched the last game they're not quite together as a bunch and are not organised.

"Looking at the (Southend) game you could see that some things were wrong and they need to change and we're here with different ideas and to do things we think are right and will get us out of trouble."

When asked if the players were in for a shock, Wise was interrupted by Bates who said: "I think they have had that already."

Wise added: "The players understand what they are getting and that is a bit of honesty.

"I don't pull my punches and I'm not afraid to tell them what's what and what they need to do.

"The important part is that you know what you want and I know what I want, and I have got to put that across to the players.

"They know that now I have made a couple of decisions early doors with regard the captaincy.

"It was important for me to make a younger up-and-coming player the captain. He (Nicholls) was captain at Luton and has a bit of bite about him and that's what I want."

The former member of the infamous Wimbledon Crazy Gang said he was ready to instil the side with bite and a winning mentality.

"I want them to be a bit like the Leeds of old - horrible," Wise added. "I want a bit of nastiness and togetherness.

"I have explained that to them. The fans get behind them, they are fantastic fans and the other night when we had lost 3-1 they were still singing.

"I said 'Come on lads, these fans are trying to help you and you just need to give a bit more'."
