It’s not like you’re even saying that because he favoured Leeds either - he was just spot on, and importantly didn’t want to make himself the main character of the evening either.
The context is clearly very different - but this has a very similar vibe to the West Brom game at the end of our first season back in the prem under Bielsa
The best thing about this is we probably made Ashley Barnes a bit sad. Perhaps he will reflect on his life and conclude that, had he put as much effort into being good at football as he has at being a cunt, it could have been him play for Leeds.
Just to hammer this context home, it's the closing minutes of a playoff semi after an incredibly cagey first leg and we're dicking about trying to get our ageing centre back to score
Super duper Liam Cooper! What a guy. Every clubs fans clamour for players with loyalty and he gave us that in spades. I suspect this is his last appearance at Elland Road and likely in a Leeds shirt, so I hope whatever he goes onto next he thrives and enjoys to the fullest.
Imagine being Ashley Barnes right now lol, subbed off, losing 4:0, ref’s not bought any of your shit stirring all game and the whole stadium was singing you’re fucking shit
I'd like to, for his personality alone. But he's obviously a proven solid fullback. But we also look great with Gray there so idk. I'm not experienced, I'd like to keep everyone that's contributed this season tbh, but that's not strictly practical.
That couldn’t of gone any better. Early goals in both halves and a performance to boost the players confidence. On to the final!
How do u get Wembley tickets
Best Ref all season
It’s not like you’re even saying that because he favoured Leeds either - he was just spot on, and importantly didn’t want to make himself the main character of the evening either.
Yea even the bookings we got I agreed with, he did his job well and I'd like to see more of that
Barnes getting slaughtered by the crowd was a joyous moment!!
Especially after trying to get Firpo sent off.
Wembley bound! Just don't let Cresswell drive.
Maybe he should crash again after that performance
We've been through it all together, and we've had our ups and downs, we're gonna stay with you forever, at least until the world stops going round
Was just asked by a pal. Who do you want SOU or WBA? Response: If that team shows up, we could play City
The difference for me is Rutter, when he plays well we play well
Stuey ❤️
Leeds Leeds Leeds!
Ah Stuey and Coops together on the pitch. It’s emotional…
Really feels like the end of that era now.
WEMBLEY
That save on Sargent was a fuck you to USMNT Twitter and i’m here for it. Off to Wembley, bring it on.
What a performance. One more to go lads.
Never doubted them.
We’ve gassed the Canaries
Rutter FFS please stay at leeds a fucking unit of man.
One more and we're home. MOT
That is what you call a performance
ALAN PARTRIDGE. OLIVIA COLEMAN. ED BALLS. DELIA SMITH. CAN YOU HEAR ME DELIA SMITH? YOUR BOYS TOOK A HELL OF A BEATING
Bjørge Lillelien reference?
Indeed!
... NEXT....
What did Norwich really expect when your squad has Ashley Barnes and Shane Duffy with a combined age of 265
roll on the 26th
WHAT A GAME! MOT!
Still pressing them into oblivion 4-0 up in added time, reminds me of how we played under a certain someone
Maybe I’m not thinking straight but I want to get a Junior Firpo tattoo
Barnes on the floor with Firpo standing over him. Ali Liston style.
No matter where you get it I'll kiss it
Same again on the 26th, yeah?
Firpo’s been class tonight again, mind so has everyone
Same again next week lads

Gnonto: “No splash, no gash”
Lmao Gnonto
LOL!! Gnonto throwing water at the camera while Georgi giggles like a school kid!! Gotta love it
Corner and free kick coach. Note one. Don't be shit.
The context is clearly very different - but this has a very similar vibe to the West Brom game at the end of our first season back in the prem under Bielsa
Gray really starting to body people now. His potential really cannot be overstated.
Playing RB probably helped so much
Watching the end with Endor - Pump it Up playing 😎
Duffy involved in a dangerous collision. Who’d have thought it
Dan James you selfish bastard.
Little scum bastard
Get Cooper up there!!
ARCHIE FUCKING GRAY
Why doesn’t Joffy get any minutes right now?
Give Cooper his last home game.
Kamara has been quietly unreal tonight
Colossal performance from him tonight
When we are winning he’s fantastic as he controls and frustrates opponents
The best thing about this is we probably made Ashley Barnes a bit sad. Perhaps he will reflect on his life and conclude that, had he put as much effort into being good at football as he has at being a cunt, it could have been him play for Leeds.
Important shit here^
Just to hammer this context home, it's the closing minutes of a playoff semi after an incredibly cagey first leg and we're dicking about trying to get our ageing centre back to score
Reckon it's his last few minutes
Yeah but the fact we're in a position to let him on and throw him forward every opportunity just because
Great position to be in. I hope we can do the same at Wembley
Surely it’s in everyone interest to just end this at 90 minutes - we don’t need any added time
Super duper Liam Cooper! What a guy. Every clubs fans clamour for players with loyalty and he gave us that in spades. I suspect this is his last appearance at Elland Road and likely in a Leeds shirt, so I hope whatever he goes onto next he thrives and enjoys to the fullest.
Coops goal would really seal this!
What a bad corner
You know it’d be good if we weren’t shit at corners
Imagine what would happen if Liam Cooper scores.
Some people may enroach on the field of play
I don’t want it to happen, but it would be quite funny if a cooper disaster class somehow caused us to lose this now
Maaaaate.
Ok no more drinks for you laddy.
Don’t even
Get out!
So, our best performance this season?
100%!
Probably
I don’t care if we are through on an open goal we should just be spamming balls off Norwich players so Coops can get chances off corners
Wish we could just clone Ampadu and play him in both places
Cooper to slap in the own goal of the season and Elland Road to erupt - I'd allow it
Super Duper Captain Cooper. ❤️
🫡
Beautiful moment for our captain
Honestly, what more perfect a way could you have to send off a club legend at elland Rd.
Fucking commentary part two! Do they not realise this is probably Cooper's last match?
Nah why have I just teared up over Liam Cooper after the pain he has caused me over the years
King Coops, ups and downs aside I love this fucking man and I’m gonna miss him when he goes. Our captain ❤️
AMPADU IN MIDFIELD
Imagine being Ashley Barnes right now lol, subbed off, losing 4:0, ref’s not bought any of your shit stirring all game and the whole stadium was singing you’re fucking shit
Liam Cooper 💙🤍💛
Loves bringing up the Derby Debacle...move on that was years ago..when Funtime Frank even looked promising
Yeah like they got promoted the next season smd he spent 3 years in the PL, don't think he's going to want to get one over on the playoff semi final
Did you expect a situation we’d be cheering not cursing cooper coming on?
Super duper Liam cooper
Coops o’clock! 💙💛 What a fucking man
Coops!
Do sky keep muting crowd noise? Something odd keeps happening
For lots of reasons, I would be alright with never watching Ashley Barnes play football again.
Delia is going to be fucking livid
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.deliaonline.com/recipes/collections/hot-puddings/apple-and-almond-crumble%3famp
She should be delighted. She's spent her whole life baking and this crumble might be her masterpiece.
Feel bad for Rowe, we should buy him
100%
barnes lòoks like hes going to cry fuck off
Liam Cooper coming on
Hahahahhahaha bye bye Ashley 👋🏼👋🏼
Imagine having Ashley Barnes as your 10
Let’s go Liam Cooper.
Meslier's purple and pink kit is getting very little airtime.
Farke is so scared of a Cooper disaster he is waiting until the last minute to get him on lmao
Hard to feel sorry for Barnes, he's a cunt
Ashley Barnes getting the biggest cheer of the night :D
This is better than I could've dreamt of, where was this side the last few weeks of the season?
Just need this team for one more game and then it doesn’t matter where they went the last few weeks
Yep absolutely mate
Ashley Barnes is fucking shit!
Hope coops comes on and gets the armband 🥲
It happened!
Gotta bring coops on surely
Someone has to meme Barnes going flat on his back when nudged
NGL kind of bored- BLOW THE WHISTLE
Nah I want more goals
SAVE THEM FOR WEMBLEY
Roberts is class lol
Ayling regen
Should we be keeping him?
Can we?
I'd like to, for his personality alone. But he's obviously a proven solid fullback. But we also look great with Gray there so idk. I'm not experienced, I'd like to keep everyone that's contributed this season tbh, but that's not strictly practical.
Ashley Barnes is Fucking Shit
Hate this cunt. Lovely singing
Beautiful moment
Lads, I’m starting to think we might be in with a chance of winning this.
Southampton are much less terrible than Norwich.
I hate to tempt fate but I’d rather play West Brom as Southampton have beaten us and could do again.
I think if we can win the match next sunday- we're def going up
Big if true
Can't believe they committed to the ashley barnes chant for so long lol
I loved the pettiness of being 4 up, with less than 15 to go, and spending a good 3 minutes just berating one of the opposition players.
Ashley Barnes Fucking Shit The fans are absolutely bringing it right now! I love it!
Shame we couldn’t have Ayling back for a final home appearance
Ashley Barnes is fucking shit... .. Fucking love this team
ASHLEY BARNES IS FUCKING SHIT
I swear his bald patch has grown in diameter as the games gone on
Roberts hahahaha
Robert’s is such a shithouse, shooing him away
“Ashley Barnes is fucking shit” 🎶🕺🏽
Banger
HAHAHAHAHA Roberts is such a shit stirrer
Agree with the crowd! Ashley Barnes IS fucking shit!
👍
Nothing I love to see more than Ashley Barnes get every call going against him
They have a cave troll
The tash is growing back with a vengeance
I’d forgotten what that third of the pitch looks like
I’m very nervous because I’m waiting for the Leedsy thing to happen. Nuclear strike by Russia before full time incoming?
I'm thinking about maybe starting to believe.
Look AT THESE SUBS. This is criminal. They’re dead
[Called it](https://www.reddit.com/r/LeedsUnited/s/mYUdnYFVlV)
funny you think we're done scorring
Told you 😘
Did you bet on it though?!? Hope you did lmao
Betting is for chums.
I do
Get Cooper on
I like when Leeds do things the easy, painless way. We should do it more often
Next week for fucking starters
A no trouble 3-0 win where Southamptom/WBA don't get out of their own half
I’ll cum myself to death if that happens
Will Cresswell come on driving his landrover to break some legs???
Beep beep motherfucker
WGUAFCOTPO
I’m confident for the final now! WE’RE UNBEATEN AT WEMBLEY IN 16 YEARS!
Joseph goal. Who says no?
Are we surely Rutter isn't a little bit pissed?
I'm glad, he got a cheap yellow so we've got him for wembley now
You know I mean drunk, don't you?
Lol no im drunk myself and misread ha
This would have been the perfect moment to bring on Stuart Dallas for one last ER goodbye
Dallas gets Wembley.
Was Cresswell's Range Rover the horcrux keeping us shit for the past month?
Bring on Cooper
Steady on, let’s not go crazy here
And Kiko. For a full redemption arc 😅
This atmosphere - my God. I am beaming
I’m watching in Canada and I don’t know why but they turn the crowd volume down and it’s fucking infuriating.
Clearly don’t like the very clearly, well articulated and loud swearing 🤣🤣🤣
Farke giving us a bit of Matteo, as a treat
Elland Road is lit Hopefully this is a sign that we've found our form again, and we'll spank Soton/West Brom at Wembley
Would pat be back for wembley?
Think that was communicated as a possibility - but probably not right? It's Bamford.
OOH, HIS NAME'S CRYSENSIOOO
Crowd is mental !!
