Just watched the American baseball fans destroying MOT. Absolute disgrace.

We love you twins twins twins, bates would of sold them the rights, kerrrchin

Much as I hate Bates I doubt we can blame him for that one. The song was written by Les Reed & Barry Mason who will probably own the rights through a publishing company. The names might not mean much to most people on here but their catalogues include 'Delilah', It's Not Unusual', 'Here It Comes Again', 'The Last Waltz' and the first single I ever bought as a kid, 'Love Grows (Where Rosemary Grows)'. Songwriting is where the serious money is in pop music so I expect they have very considerable financial muscle and wouldn't need to sell their intellectual property rights to a mere football club. Generally speaking, as long as they pay the royalties, pretty much anyone can record it. Publishers rarely turn away cash...

Sorry to be so nerdy - ex-muso still playing the local music scene in my 50s - and avid collector of utterly useless musical knowledge.

Sky Sports understands that Leicester are looking to start their summer transfer business early and have lodged a bid for Hull City's Robert Koren.
Come on leeds sort it out

We've been linked with him before but he's hardly set the Championship on fire for Dull City. No thanks.

They can have him he's too inconsistent and flits in and outa games too much

So thats our standard this summer start by signing a player Hull arnt offering a contract too,so why is he good enough for us.

Its him or derry lol

"He scored six goals, got 12 assists and I think probably six of those were on Billy's head in the six-yard box,"


"He's a class player, not easy to manage off the pitch, but I only had him for five months and the clauses in his contract are for the Championship, so I think he'll probably be going to another club, whether it's Leeds or somewhere else."

Diouf id have him

Think warnock will have a whole new left side and whole new back 4 but possible team with known/rumoured players?

GK- Lonergan or Kenny
DEF
RB?
CB- Pearce
CB-Whitbread/Mills/lees?
LB possibly tony diagne?
MID
RW- Rogers
CM- Clayton
CM-Green/Clingan
LW- ? possibly Paul anderson nottingham forrest dont know which wing he plays on though?
ST McCormack/Becchio, Diouf

Not too sure if snoddy will sign but would be good to have and i think white is off to the prem
Opinions?

Rogers is not good enough for the starting 11 to get us up, Warnock will loan him or keep him on the bench!

How do you know the fella isn't good enough? the blokes been unlucky picked up two bad injuries in twenty minutes! NW has said he's been impressed with RR in training! give the lad a proper chance!

warnock going to west brom and he,s taking snoddy with him

Pace has been the main problem all season, throughout the whole team from defence to attack.

What date is the champions league final? {Ed003's Note - 19th May}

Why do you post absolute crap like that,it aint gonna happen,you must have the IQ of a lettuce. {Ed003's Note - Honest it's the 19th May,why wont it happen? ;) }

Thought i'd add to this, carrots..

Dannii minouge is gonna be back on the x factor

Carrot? What carrot don't even get me started on the lettuce fred

My cat was playing darts the other day, he wasn't very good.

According to Peter Griffin, the bird is the word.

Peter Griffin doesn't know anything. Grease is the word...

All this talk of transfers and the names that are being thrown around......*sigh* we are gonna be so disappointed :-( hope I am wrong :-)

I agree...Just like last season.

You two sound a bundle of laughs,best just ignore all the silly rumours of who we are signing,have a bit of faith FFS,NW has done it all before with little or no money,and Im sure his signings will suprise a few people,NOT the likes of Smith and all the other ex Leeds players being bandied about,he will sort the defence,and has stated he wants hungry players,fast,who want to play for Leeds,not the money.

Bet your house is a happy place to be

Wasnt the same said last season and look at all the amazing players we got..haha

Problem is, this time, if we a are disappointed there will be no team left

Yeah it is a very happy house thx :-) just sick of getting my hopes up as far as LUFC goes and then being kicked in the nuts !

Too many dreamers on here...

hey guys not really a rant but a question bout the new jersey did anyone buy the new jersey yet or have the black one? just im thinking if buying it but before i do just like to know will i get more than 3 washes off it before all the writing peels off!! did this happen to any off you?? wtf? :(

You should try washing your shirt by hand

The team shirt hasn't been a problem this season as none of the squad have managed to get the shirt dirty enough to need washing.

Uncle ken bought the cheapest on offer from macron and tried selling to us at top dollar - hopefully he has learnt after throwing thousands of unsold shirts in the bin

why are we trying to get all these old leeds players and now rejects of clubs! move on and get fresh talent in, we need to look forward not back

just read snodd'ys interview with the yep. im no inspector poirot but reading between the lines he's off definetly. he obviously knows what players with half his ability are on (johnson and howson) seen our contract offer. its not rocket science. you read it and tel me what u think. mot

Looks like he's heading to do the same as Johnson,Kilkenny, Howson,Beckford, Contract offer not good enough so run present contract down and leave on a free.. Unless a good offer comes in for him.

I think everybody knew thats how Bates was going to find his money,no way will he spend out of his own pocket,some people on here think his wallets coming out ,laugh a nearly broke a rib !!

Ithink we need to stop panicking about snoddy i don't really think he's that good championship player at best he's just stood out coz we are that bad

I think he is still just weighing up his options. Like he said he isnt out of contract yet so there is no rush. Plus he can't leave untill there is a good enough offer. Once the new players comes in he'll want to stay. if not we will have no move on with out him let be positive. MOT

To be honest....would you stay when the big cash is getting offered elsewhere and K.B in charge.

I'm going to join the calls to get Alan Smith back to Elland road. I know what your thinking oh god another person living in the past (or various combinations of swear words with the same meaning :)

But actually I don't want him as a player, have spoken to a mate whos an MK Dons fan and he says he's past it even for league 1, but i'd have him as a coach for the younger players. No one can doubt he is leeds through and through and he would be able to help them cope with being a young player at a big stadium with lots of fans with high expectations as he did it himself. I think if he can draw on the passion he had for the game before all his injuries he could become a very good coach for the team.

And yes before you say it I know he hasn't got any coaching knowledge but I heard from the MK Dons fan he is helping run a few sessions for there youth teams to try his hand at coaching as it is something he wants to move into at the end of his playing career.

Good call! I like this, to be fair when he was out of the picture at Newcastle he went up and watched a few of their youngsters .. it'd be a shame if he went off and coached at Newcastle (offer is on the table) as I think he has the experience and passion to bring kids forward at LUFC. Of course I'd like to dream and say he could have one last swansong but I can totally understand if he only came back as a coach.

See I agree with this, I have no problems with him helping out our youth. But hes past it as a player. If he is leeds he'll come back and coach here, if hes chasing the pay packet still he'll stay at nufc. Lets see whats more important to him.
