Sorry. Just catching up on the other news, which contradicts what I'd read earlier. I'm laughing again! Bielsa is a genius, and one that is more worthy of a tattoo on bermo's bum than Kal. #allspiesarentwe.

I don't get it. Managers, assistant managers and scouts are allowed to sit in an opponents ground and watch a team they'll be playing in a few weeks, and that's all good and complete ethical. But send another employee to watch a training match / session, and it's tountermount to cheating? How? There's no rule against it that I'm aware of?

Anyway, well done lads, a well deserved 3 points!

Agree1 Disagree0

11 Jan 2019 23:20:15
New rule; 30 point deduction for any club that starts with an "L" if suspected of 'spying' (definition of 'spying' to be adjusted to suit and includes anyone from Yorkshire caught within a 200km radius of oppositions training ground in the month leading up to, or after the match) . These deductions can be backdated for up to 3 seadons.

Did anyone hear the sainted Jermaine Jenas having his little rant on 5Live? Hells bells, I think if it was up to him we'd be relegated, the sanctimonious one. I think he should be asked to explain his little Englander attitude as well, basically said if that's what Johnny Foreigner does in his own country, he should go back there.

Agree0 Disagree0

11 Jan 2019 23:29:16
Every team always needs to strengthen don’t they? Man City, Liverpool etc! The point is who, are they available and at a price we are prepared to pay and in Jan. Still a key factor is how confident we are about the return dates for all those out and particularly Brown and Bamford. It’s about getting the right people if they are available. If not it’s about doing the best we can with what we’ve got.

We obviously posted the same question. I will answer yours.

You don't get Marcelo, his ideas, what he has done to this last years squad, how he has bonded the whole club into a total team with one ambition, his tactics, his ideas, how everybody in the club, with quite a few exceptions on here, have totally bought into him and proved it by being top of the league right now.

He has such trust in his coaching staff and all the players that they also have such belief in him and his staff.

They MARCH ON TOGETHER.

Now please answer my question.

Come out come out wherever you are. George!
Seriously though everyone played extremely well but a special mention for Alioski. His game has come on a bundle these last half a dozen games.
All those lads who said we'd finish fourth, fifth and even tenth I wonder are they still of the same opinion? I said the other day Leeds are the best championship side I've seen this season and obviously haven't changed my mind tonight. MOT.

Yeah mate. But I think he was watching Kal doing kick ups in the changing room first.

Excellent club performance from the players to the fans. Friday night game and we still get full house. Spygate adds to our story but I bet scheming Harvey is looking at ways to dock us already. Who was the spy? Was he Russian?

Nice win lads . have never being a Coops fan but have to say omg he has improved and we look less likely to concede when he plays. That was an all round team performance as everyone done their bit well IMO. After bagging Forshaw for being slow at QPR, he certainly made me re think that statement. Alioski at LB was excellent and as a mature Leeds fan, you have to love Clarke ripping defences apart. Enjoy your weekend lads and stay away from watching football outside of fences. MOT.

What a performance . Everyone at it tonight and produced for me the best performance of the season . Stand outs in no particular order : Foreshaw who was everywhere with not one misplaced pass and some crunching tackles, Alioski a revelation at left back, Captain Coops bringing more authority at the back and young Jack Clarke putting in a terrific exhibition of old fashioned wing play in front of Gareth Southgate no less . Of course being a Leeds fan I'm now worrying about a potential points deduction . MOT, ALAW, WACCOE!

Bielsa has admitted he sent a start member to watch derby training. Seeing the guy was outside their fence can't see they have much to charge us with, unless watching derby is a crime. The police said there was no damage to the fence and the guy wasn't arrested and was allowed to go on his way. Nice to see bielsa leaves nothing to chance.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

11 Jan 2019 19:25:17
Am I missing something? Is watching your oppos training, any different to watching them play in the few matches before you play them? I know that I am slightly biased, but am I alone in thinking that Frankie is a big fat drama queen, who needs to learn how to take molehills in his stride? As for the Sky pundits, are they trying to get more screen time in Soaps? Very good at amateur dramatics. Again, am I missing something, or is it much ado about nowt - because we are Leeds? "It's disrupted us" What a southern fairie right fair. He needs back of his legs slapping.

Oh says the first terrier what do you reckon is going to happen? I think I'm going to be put down, what are you here for? I snapped at 1 of the kids said the first dog I think I'm going to be put down as well. Both of the terriers turn to the alsation and ask why he's there and he explains how he was asleep at home and his owner a young blonde was bending over cleaning and how he could not resist and he mounted her.

VOTED BEST JOKE IN IRELAND.

John O'Reilly hoisted his beer and said, "Here's to spending the rest of me Life, between the legs of me wife! "

That won him the top prize at the pub for the best toast of the night!

He went home and told his wife, Mary, "I won the prize for the Best toast of The night. "

She said, "Aye, did ye now. And what was your toast? "
John said, "Here's to spending the rest of me life, sitting in church beside me wife. "

"Oh, that is very nice indeed, John! " Mary said.

The next day, Mary ran into one of John 's drinking buddies on the street Corner. The man chuckled leeringly and said, " John won the prize the other night at The pub with a toast about you, Mary. "

She said, "Aye, he told me, and I was a bit surprised myself. You know, he's only been in there twice in the last four years. "Once I had to pull him by the ears to make him come, and the other time he fell asleep".

Tesco installed a medical machine that for €5 and a urine sample, would diagnose any condition. When my mate went with a sore elbow, the computer printout read "You have tennis elbow. Soak it in warm water and avoid heavy work for 2 weeks" Impressed, my mate wondered if he could fool the machine. He mixed tapwater with dog poo, urine samples from his wife and daughter, and then pleasured himself into the mixture. When he tipped it into the machine the next day, the printout read: 1. your tapwater is too hard. Use softener. 2.Ur dog has ringworm. Giv it antibiotics. 3.Ur daughter is on cocaine. Get her to rehab. 4.Ur wife is Xpecting twins. Not urs. Get a lawyer. 5.If u keep playing with yourself, your ****in elbow won't get better!

I think we should not play MOT tonight, the James Bond theme tune would go down well #AllSpiesAren'tWe?

Little boy gets up to go to toilet through the night when he hears screening coming from his mum and dad's bedroom. When he walks in he see's his dad dressed as a cowboy and his mum dressed as a cheer leader and there going at it big time. Little boy says "daddy what are you doing to mummy? " " dad replies " go to your room son and I'll come and speak to you in 20 minutes. 20 minutes later dad walks down to the little boys bedroom when he hears screaming from inside. He burst in to see little lad going at it with his grandmother. Father says " what the hells going on? "
Little lad replies " ITS NOT SO FUNNY WHEN ITS YOUR MUM IS IT? ".

Like Brighty watching from afar. 😒 But rewinds and replays are great on TV. Just a pity about the awful summarising, especially from that prat Goodman.

I think we are all happy we are top and pretty sure we will all be chuffed to stay there. But even a blind man can see we need reinforcements. So if we don't get them we will be lacking in strength in depth.
So it's logical to fear for the second half of the season. Blind hope is admirable but does not take into account The amount of young youngsters needed for rest of season and the knack Leeds have of falling short.
Biesla might do it and hope he does.
But a level head says as is, he won't.
We may beat derby. But we have difficult games ahead and I'm pretty sure with 3 additions we will do better than without 3!

I tend to agree Ausman but we must remember that this is a new way of doing things for lufc and from top to bottom of the club there seems something that has clicked with bub and the directors. Even what I read on here is mostly positive and when we lose great support comments. So I say may just maybe a few new gems will step up from u23s and a goalie but Derby and everyone else can and will (mostly) be beaten. The sign of a genius so they say is one who keeps a calm level head while all those around him falter. Our man bub is that genius I say. 2-1 tonight. MOT.

With Coops back tonight we should have enough in defence to hold off Derby, allow them one goal for BPF and we need 2 to win. My money is on Roofe and Klich to get our goals.

Aus, I don’t think it’s “blind hope” when we have a half a season of performance, injuries and “ makeshift” teams to go on. Blind hope comes at the beginning of the season, when there are no performances to base judgment on.

The differences now are the loss of Saiz without knowing how effective Brown will ever be, and the loss of Baker.

We were coping without both of them anyway by the end b So much depends on your view on how much contribution Brown can make and how quickly. We probably have under 23s who could take Bakers place on the bench!

I could take Baker's place on the bench, probably on the field as well :)

Exactly Al, not a lot has changed really. Bailey is Bailey and we’ve coped with him so far! Don’t not think the absence of Saiz cost us the games we lost.

We are all panicking because the window is open and this is the last chance to adjust the squad before seasons end.

There is no point bringing players in for Bielsa not to pick them. If they are going to warm the bench or squad place better to use the under 23s and give them a chance.

What I love about Bielsas approach is that it is all about making the absolute best use of the playing resources we have. You can see with what he has been doing with Roberts that he is always thinking ahead about what might happen.

It’s exactly as he says, any new players have to be better than the likely 18 plus that we have and worth any disruption or the loss of opportunity for anyone else.

I disagree Spanish. I sorta see your logic and am always impressed with your posts but I’m not sure you take into account injuries. Age. Experience. Mentality. Ability. Etc. think it’s very much stats with a lot of you. We are top of the table. Yes. But.

I agree. With a finite amount of money now, is it better to spend at this time for an unknown future or keep your powder dry til the summer when we we know which division we are buying for and hopefully swell the kitty with Premiership money.

Aus, are you trying to say " you don't win owt with kids"? I remember some pundit saying that about manyoo, look what happened there :)

Can’t think of an u23 that’s not come in and made a decent contribution this year

Can think of a lot of turkeys signed in January
