Had the TV on with sound down and they were showing Real Madrid ( also playing in white) on one of the Bein channels. I was not concentrating and thought that it was Leeds. An easy mistake to make. although slightly flattering for Real Madrid.

LIG just told me he's been promised a night like the Leeds game this afternoon! Start gradually in the pink, then after twenty minutes he gets to see a Pole dancing (Klich) , then quickly after she's going to eat a mouthful (Ezgjan Gianni Alioski) having seen a powerful header blocked to be capped off with a great finish which will fly through the air from the edge of the box (Pablo) putting the game to bed!

GIW Itโs not my birthday, is it? And your 20 mins is a tad optimistic ๐.
25 Aug 2018 22:28:22
By about 19 minutes george.

LIG Good morning! ๐ Two questions for you. 1. How many slices of toast did you eat this morning? 2. How many were brown? ๐๐.
25 Aug 2018 20:22:35
Think the pink dressing room has hurt our goal difference.
26 Aug 2018 09:07:46
More like we hurt their pink and now you can see the difference! Boom boom! LMAO! ๐คฃ๐คฃ.
25 Aug 2018 19:31:47
Some very good and some just good performances. a 3.0 win away to a bit of a bogey team over the yrs. i hate norwich. i was and still am i supose, a kp critic to say the least, but credit where its due. he's got a specific job and doing it and the coach is behind him. if that's what he needed, fair play to the lad. love him to prove me and others wrong. for the time being he deserves support
And credit after the knock back at swansea especially.
25 Aug 2018 18:54:03
MB' s words about Pablo after the game are worth a read. High praise, well earned today!
25 Aug 2018 19:35:58
He's so right about our "silent leader". Thanks again ๐ boy! Good lead you let slip away.
25 Aug 2018 21:07:17
Pablo has been the best player for over two seasons now yet some lads wanted him pensioned off this year. he's a top top player and could do a good job in premier league.
George, i'm guessing you are on about Monk? i'm not sure why you and many others lay in to the man so often. He done a good job at ER imo and left over disagreements with Rad on the way the club was being taken forward, mainly Orta i believe. can't see the point in harping back on it but each to there own.
25 Aug 2018 21:32:36
I thought Birmingham played some good football but havenโt got the resilience. Forest showing itโs not just about buying lots of players, integrating them into a unit takes time.
25 Aug 2018 21:54:21
Just rubbing it in Corky.
26 Aug 2018 09:14:57
Saw this earlier, Iniesta has posters of Pablo on his bedroom wall :)
25 Aug 2018 18:45:27
Visited Elland Road today and picked up tickets for the Preston and Middlesbrough games, first visits this year! Great buzz about the place even whilst playing away. Great to see.
Great performance again today, still some squeaky moments for the defence, but Pontus def brought some resilience.
I think Hernandez was the star today, class goal but full of energy and his 3rd game in a week and he never gets subbed!
Looking forward to seeing the b team vs Preston, because I think it's going to be a great opportunity for those players and it will tell us a bit more about our strength in depth.
Then the big one so far, top of the table clash, bring it on.
25 Aug 2018 18:50:28
Spaniard Pablo was subbed toward the end.
25 Aug 2018 18:59:03
Fair point Georgie, I must have been carried away at that point! Deserved the rest!
25 Aug 2018 20:42:44
Bernie Slaven, former smoggy says "bring on dirty Leeds" we shall see.
26 Aug 2018 17:19:46
Always had a strong dislike for the smoggies, and particularly that Bernie! And they even consider themselves Yorkshire too, with That accent! Pah! I'll always remember "The battle of Beeston Hill" too, the year we went up from Div 2!
25 Aug 2018 18:36:18
In dreamland at the moment. An accomplished 0-3 result at Carrow Rd? When does that happen. On on on!
26 Aug 2018 01:23:18
Alf lad i was gobsmacked by the performance today! I amongst others here on this site were sceptical of the consistency of our performance considering last yeats efforts but they are showing no signs of letting up.
Playing some great football at the moment a joy to watch thst today thanks to Andy from the fb all leeds aren't we site he never fails to provide a superb stream.
26 Aug 2018 08:59:42
so true we don't like that part of the world and to win there so comfortable is great.
I thought we were lucky to be 2-0 as it was even game but our clinical nature made the difference which pleased me
after about 30-35 minutes I think we totally dominated which pleased me even more, such a great performance and style to our play
I like to worry and will be interesting to see how we play against borough who I think will go up and then of course millwall wich always worries me as it makes my life hell
still hard not to be confident after yesterday (and the season so far)
26 Aug 2018 12:42:04
Well said DJ! Andy at ALAW is the man!
25 Aug 2018 18:13:01
I'm here George and I'm delighted with the players and manager. just want to see players coming in this week.
25 Aug 2018 18:20:39
Yep, a couple of reinforcements would be nice, Wex!
25 Aug 2018 18:29:07
What's doubly ironic Wex is you said Saiz would save the day. It was a bad game for him yet everyone else was at it!
25 Aug 2018 18:35:01
Yes, not his best game George, but plenty of energy and effort, plus he worries the opposition with his movement, which creates space for others. Also a big plus that we can still be very creative even when he is off the boil.
25 Aug 2018 18:39:32
Wex, serious question, bearing in mind what Bielsa has said about not wanting a cab and the rules on the number of loanees that we can use, how many do you still believe we need and any names?
25 Aug 2018 18:39:38
saiz effort was good and he such a threat he scares the other team, even today his prence alone made him good, even if final ball was off alisoki class today.
25 Aug 2018 19:00:36
I donโt think anyone wants Bielsa to call a cab but I meant he doesnโt want a CB!
25 Aug 2018 19:36:13
Positivity from everywhere at the moment, good to see. Better than being negative eh?
25 Aug 2018 19:59:58
good to have a chance to be positive, to be fair i don't think anyone likes being negitive just leeds over last 15 years ain't gave us to much to cheers about, still win lose or draw we all love leeds and cheer them on MOT.
25 Aug 2018 20:55:40
Foyte would be great snd Collins.
25 Aug 2018 21:11:49
I agree Wex. Personally i'd like a CB, CM, wide player and another striker. ain't going to happen i'd say so hopefully two out of the four. The first two being most important.
25 Aug 2018 22:30:44
I'd like a million quid cork but it prob ain't going to happen.
25 Aug 2018 17:57:20
Staying with friends near Great Yarmouth and both are Norwich fans, got me a ticket to the game all be it in with the home fans. Points from today mainly 3 more but got to praise Philips who broke up play and got his body in the way of a couple of goal bound shots, he was great today ( sorry berm! ) . Douglas is class makes a bit difference to the team, captain Ayling for me from now on. Also big shout out to the travelling Leeds fans who sounded great and out sung the not so chirpie canaries! Now off out for a beer with my Leeds top on!
25 Aug 2018 18:09:55
no worries Mezzer, glad you saw the win and had a good day! don't drink too much k.
25 Aug 2018 22:32:36
Be careful out there mezzer. Give us a shout if ya get any grief ๐.
25 Aug 2018 17:25:09
Norwich needed a lot more than a pink dressing room to get one over on us . Even Rhodes didn't score against us . Can't believe what's happening right now.
25 Aug 2018 17:47:32
Pontus had Rhodes in his pocket, and even Berra skinned him for pace! Loved it!
25 Aug 2018 17:51:47
Without wishing to sound a bit Statto, 2.6 points per game and 2.8 goals per game. We really are the dogs b*******.
25 Aug 2018 17:18:51
Is it Kalvin Kante or N'golo Phillips?
25 Aug 2018 17:27:50
Iโll let bermo answer that.
25 Aug 2018 17:48:26
Barring a couple of stray passes, Kal was excellent today, defo!
25 Aug 2018 18:12:35
will not be drawn into this. but i am screaming at the computer right now. one of his better games but still poor, always beaten for pace, gave away so many fouls, passing was great though just not mobile enough. and this was against a poorer team!
really don't know if this is a group wind up/ conspiatcy or everyone else just seeing a different game. how many fouls did he commit or balls lost due to being too slow? I made it about 7.
25 Aug 2018 18:37:58
I think that you're going out of your way to find fault with KP, Bub likes him, plays him and most importantly trusts him. So, he's good enough for me, always has been tbh.
25 Aug 2018 18:39:29
It's a valid point Bermo, but raises a question. How many times did Klich given the ball away, how many fouls did Ayling concede, how often did Roofe get caught in possession? I think you'll find that 7 is a fair average per game for your stats. For whatever reason, you don't like Kal, and that's your right, but 7 mistakes (passes missed, possession lost, plus fouls) per game isn't very much.
25 Aug 2018 18:54:36
Phil Hay gave KP an 8 today, the only score higher was Pablo on 9. The same Phil Hay who gave him a low, low score in the Swansea game.
I think his view is more of a fair reflection of his performance in the two games.
Good management by Bielsa to get him back the team quickly and show his confidence in the player.
25 Aug 2018 19:25:16
each to their own, in KP i see two things
one a player who when given the ball can ping a great pass
two a player who when the ball is moving is always too slow. the play always move past him, the opposition players are quikcer and faster making phillips give away a foul, get caught out and put pressure on our defence. NOt a bad footballer but not good enough to play that position for a team looking to get pomoted
two things can happen, days like today the play passes him by we don't get punished but he plays good balls everyone (apart from me) say what a player
days likes swans when the play passes him and it costs us people like me say, told you he was not mobile enough to play there.
personally I worry when he is on the pitch his minus do not outwieght he pluses. It will take at least half a season of this not happening for me to change mind. so far this season every game has made me think this.
25 Aug 2018 21:06:29
As you say Bermondsey, each to their own. I donโt think the game passed him by today and Iโm not sure most other people did either. Letโs see how he does against Middlesbrough, I think we can all agree that it will be a sterner test.
25 Aug 2018 21:40:08
agree Spainsh have said I do think borough will be up there come the end of the season, they may not be pretty but they are winners typical pulis team . Wall will also be a tough test coming up.
25 Aug 2018 22:14:15
Phillips, 71 touches 7 mistakes top player onwards and upwards.
25 Aug 2018 22:33:29
Totally BIGE. Real stats don't lie!
25 Aug 2018 23:00:24
Yep Bermondsey, Millwall another key challenge to see how we cope with the team and environment. Weโve got the international break before that, thatโs another period for Bielsa to work with the players and prepare for Millwall. Iโm hoping that will be an advantage!
26 Aug 2018 09:03:19
agree Spanish Mb working on the team will always bring improvements
Bige where do you find these stats, looking for them and can't find them to save my life.
Also stats can lie of 14 shots on target De Gea has let 12 in, that makes him worse than Paul Rahubka. Stats are great and do give a story but only part of the story
that said I would love to find these stats somehere all i could find is head 2 head.
26 Aug 2018 10:59:36
Fair point re stats Bermo! The official Leeds page use somebody called "stat zone" I believe.
25 Aug 2018 17:14:42
We are so good, I'm beginning to feel sorry for our bench. Poor Shackleton. Hopefully, a cup run is in order keep players happy. I bet Wex is scarce tonight.
25 Aug 2018 17:20:14
Agree.
V hard to beat.
25 Aug 2018 17:26:31
We certainly beat that pink up! ๐.
25 Aug 2018 17:57:36
Iโll be interested to see how many changes we make on Tuesday bearing in mind we have a big game Friday. canโt afford to take risks. ๐ฌ๐ค.
25 Aug 2018 18:39:30
Just think how big a win it would have been if not for that damn pink dressing room :)
25 Aug 2018 17:05:54
Called it 3-0 even if I got scorers wrong and someone thumbs downed me! ๐ฎ
Just catching up from the beach with BBC live text. this is what it says. #dreamland
Hard to understate how good this Leeds team are: that's another classy goal to add to the collection. They could make a film of them at this point.
Pablo Hernandez finds himself with the ball at his feet from 18 yards out and dances his way into space before beating Tim Krul at the far corner. Merciless.
Norwich are chasing shadows now and all the noise is coming from the away end.
25 Aug 2018 17:03:02
Well that was so good to watch. Our passing was excellent, finishing was sublime And desperation in denfrnce when required was always there. Pontus brought stability and height to that defence and despite the score I thought the 2 centre half's and full backs played outstanding for Leeds. And a shout out to KP ( sorry BW) who showed that he could rebound from his Swansea debacle . 14 goals for and 4 against after 5 matches is like a dream . Bring on the Boro MOT.
25 Aug 2018 17:59:47
Totally Syd! Thought Berra was solid and composed!
25 Aug 2018 17:00:31
I'm tickled pink by the full-time score.
25 Aug 2018 17:20:06
I so happy I might try to tickle the pink later tonight when the kids are in bed ๐๐ฆ.
25 Aug 2018 17:25:41
LIG Will you also party like it's your birthday? ๐ป๐ฉ.
25 Aug 2018 16:51:29
2nd half even better than first
great goal pablo,
they never looked like scoring yet w looked a constandt threat
motm aliski over pablo just due to work rate
good job the away team is pink made all the differecne.
25 Aug 2018 17:01:00
Glad Phillips had a good bounce back game. Good job we played a weak team though eh BW haha
Pontus also looked solid. Like having a new signing.
Good performance all around.
25 Aug 2018 18:15:29
just for record i still think KP was poor today.
25 Aug 2018 15:53:25
very pleasing first half
did not deserve to be 2-0 up as game was 50/ 50 at that point but was 20 due to quality in both 3rds (how often has that not been the case with us over last 15 years) . We then grew in ame and was good value for lead
BFP had strong half, good save, took a couple of catches as well.
Alisoki was difference that half great header for assist and good finish for second although keeper will be distraught
Saiz nothing come off for him, but effort great and he worries other teams so much
my mate has hit a couple of lovely balls but over taken too easiy. He also made an afulw mistake similar to stoke however his recovery block was amazing so fair play
only negitive is high balls, it is ushc a wakeness and norwich have realised. lost most high balls and also look like we might conceed due to this
but we are a food looking team and play some lovely stuff
and winning as well! MOT.
25 Aug 2018 16:29:19

Hello All. Leeds Fan all my life. New to the site. Anyone know of a place to watch Leeds while I am in Barcalona this weekend?
25 Aug 2018 14:00:42
Have you tried MCD?
25 Aug 2018 14:06:15
Google Earth? Hack into a traffic cam on Street Lane?
25 Aug 2018 14:46:05
Hi Mac. Worth a look at the Black Sheep, in an alleyway near near top of Las Ramblas. Watched a few games there, cracking atmosphere and not as British as it sounds.
25 Aug 2018 13:48:21
2-0 lads
Evening from Sydney . Game on live again here. Happy Days

Welcome back Aus missed you didn't think we would hear from you again.
25 Aug 2018 13:39:44
Been a long while.
Missed u guys
Thanks Doug mate. Sure u talk for all on this site.
25 Aug 2018 14:09:04
Should've suggested to Ed001 that he change the URL before you had chance to come back. Your absence although short-lived coincided with a euphoric mood among posters.
25 Aug 2018 12:06:31
I predict that the pink changing room will have that bad effect on us that them yellow birds will beat us 5-0. ๐๐๐.
25 Aug 2018 12:50:38
LIG Have you ever painted something pink?
25 Aug 2018 12:56:48
I think having a pink dressing room is more likely to have the opposite effect. Iโd find it a tad weird and somewhat funny. 5.0 to Leeds just to show them they know nothing about psychology.
{Ed001's Note - there have been about 300 studies done since the theory of the pink lowering testosterone was first postulated. All of them found it to be false and to only have an initial first glimpse effect which wore off after about 20 seconds. In fact, most of the trials found it could make things worse, which is why prisons stopped using it years ago. Norwich are about the 14th English club to try it though.}
25 Aug 2018 13:34:02
GIW I love the pink. Iโm also quite partial to the brown as and when Iโm allowed which only seems to be on my birthday ๐๐ฆ.
25 Aug 2018 13:54:14
LIG Set up you real good there ๐. I seem to remember you're in to painting and decorating.
25 Aug 2018 13:58:42
Ed001 I believe it will backfire on Norwich especially if LUFC anything like me. I become very hardened at the sight of a quality pink.
{Ed001's Note - there is a sight I hope I never get to see.}
25 Aug 2018 14:10:57
GIW thatโs true but I much prefer spray applied over brushing. Especially if Iโve got plenty in the tank to do the spraying with ๐๐ฆ๐.
25 Aug 2018 14:11:01
Ed001 LOL ๐. Funniest thing I've seen you write dude. Made George laugh. Props ๐.
{Ed001's Note - I still feel a bit sick at the thought.}
25 Aug 2018 15:58:02
It is one of them things that you will never unsee innit:)
25 Aug 2018 11:45:51
Personally think foyth has been coming from day 1.
Pocc been preparing him for mb. that's why no panick for cb. hope it comes off. plus halme could be ready in couple of months. if he makes the grade there's another good young prospect. janson, foyth, halme. back 3 douglas, ayling wing backs. klich, forshaw, siaz, roofe, bamford. would love something like that line up at some stage. would have great bench aswell as long as clarkes on it.
25 Aug 2018 10:46:13
I watched 2 nd half of Middlesbrough game last night after coming out of hospital. Now can someone tell me if it was the anaesthetic or were both teams rather pedestrian and boring.
Many players who would command high fees (Rodriquez, Brit ekland, brunt. ) they were all carp. I wouldnโt want any of them. And what was Bartley doing. Just gave them the ball at one point. Shocking.
If thatโs the standard at the top then we have a very very good chance this season.
OR do I need to go back to hospital lol ๐.
25 Aug 2018 12:00:51
Boro didn't replace best 2 players bamford and traore (is that his name) still got the world's most overrated playing. Howson trying to run mf and shotton whos a liability. think they looked avarage. but they won't concede a lot of goals, load of 1-0 .1-1.i think. west brom look slightly better for me at this stage. if villa click they have some quality but they've got brucey who'll get union jack come crimbo.
25 Aug 2018 12:02:32
I watched the first half and it was that non eventful that I couldnโt be ar53ed watching the second.
25 Aug 2018 13:55:33
Don't know Yobo I would play with Brit Ekland all day long. Or at least I would when I was younger.
25 Aug 2018 08:49:50
I think with the amount of chances we create and goals we score, we are going to have to massively strengthen the goal posts or they will never last the season ๐.
25 Aug 2018 02:18:17
Just to let you know before you all wonder where I went.
Very upset with Ed's comment about me although I agree about BW!
I'm off.
I'm going to win pots somerewhere I'm appreciated. Not sure where that will be.
But I'm off here. Def. won't be back.
Don't u lot try and convince me to stay either.
I'm off. Never ever ever coming back.
Very teary at the moment.
{Ed001's Note - is that a threat or a promise? I am not sure...}
25 Aug 2018 08:08:38
