Thoughts from today

More tinkering from Allardyce trying to find the right combination that might get us a result in London....where we never get a result.

Talk from fans of us just needing 2 wins, West Ham won't be trying, spurs is guaranteed win etc is out of touch rhetoric we've heard all season.

We go ahead, you know we're going to concede too and so it goes.

Rodrigo, one of the few bright spots in season, but then we lose Bamford who was doing well and it says it all when Allardyce said post match he didnt have a striker to bring on, yet we had £35 million Rutter on bench.

Gnonto comes on, but one really has to wonder why he rarely gets to start, but I think he's just had a great start and now settled down to being a short, lightweight player in a league where he is looking a little out of place in, his complete fluff at end of first half is a sad way to finish a season that started so brightly for him.

West Ham cut through us at will, Rice showed us what we miss in that home grown player that we last saw in Philips.

Thoughts drift to how hard it was to get out of that Championship. How many players we went through, how many loanees, how many utterly mediocre matches and seasons, how Bielsa completely transformed us, how AR promised us we'd learn and never be in this position again. The AR who is now strangely silent now, no white smoke tweets, no programme notes from Kinnear any more, when the going has got tough, the tough had gone away and had a little cry.

We wont see the same returns we ever saw from under Bielsa from Bamford, Ayling, Harrison and Dallas.

The lightweight imports will want away, or at least I hope they do, because they've been all but rubbish and I dont believe Adams would have made any difference to our situation.

And then I think of Llorente, whom we gave a contract extension too......what on earth were we thinking?

It's just really hard to look at anything Leeds right now and see anything positive.

Lightweight Summerville and taller but lighterweight Aaronson come on, despite Rodrigo being injured, Rutter not deemed good enough, £35 mill waste of space.

We have some hope at 1-1, but it's hope more than anything else, the second half is all West Ham's

It's relentless, ball just keeps coming back, a bottom seven side making us looking even crapper, and then Bowen, whom I'd have loved a couple of seasons back with Dark, shows us how to finish thanks to Wober keeping him onside and you cant see us coming back with only half a striker on the pitch and you can see on Allardyce's face that he knows the game is up.

Can't fault the effort from Leeds players, last ditch defending to the hilt, but the quality isnt there and the plan isn't there. back to Bielsa, there was a plan, but now there's nothing.

I look forward to a day when we have a midfield that can produce goals. When we have a striker who bangs them in for fun, when we have Centre back who wins everything in the air and a manager who chews with his mouth closed.

At least I dont have to listen to Marsch drivel about transitions, moments, leadership groups, games being zero zero and goals being in the middle. At least I don't have to see Orta's rabid screaming at fans.

But those same fans deserve so much better, the loyalty over the lean years, the huge away following, the constant putting up with crap coloured kits, we deserve better than the p*** taking owner that we have.

When you need a goal, you bring on.........Greenwood and Roca....we have nothing to offer, we're just making up the numbers in the Prem and we dont deserve to stay up I'm afraid. The best league in the world deserves better than us, deserves better than Aaronson's useless attempt to get a shot on target.

Over £300 million spent in three years, it's genuinely hard to believe that this is all we have to show for it.

Greenwood takes a corner, at least we dont have Harrison and Aaronson having secret chats and patting heads.

7 minutes added on, we might as well have 107 minutes, thank his bunch ain't scoring, but West Ham do as our defence says here you, just walk right through us and it's a crushing defeat, it goes to the final day and I reckon we'll be going down on goal difference.

A couple of weeks ago I didn't really feel that much about this relegation (assuming of course we do go down), but today I feel angry at how AR has squandered such a golden opportunity after promotion.
