Living in Nottingham todays result even more sweeter. Most of my mates are florist fans, every year we have a bet as to who will finish higher in the league, but with a pre arranged handicap. Last year I gave them 6 points start (gap ended up as 21) . This year after a weekend of negotiation in Benidorm they thought they had robbed me when we agreed on an 11 pt start. I don't think they will be so happy tonight!

I've just put a request in to the FL that we play away every week. Never done me any harm and by the look of it, the lads are seeing the benefits too. On another note 'Come in you boys in green' (Mayo I to the all Ireland final) . MM

Wow wow wow wow wow! What a performance. I'm seriously impressed and I think we are still to hit our best form. Early in the season but looking fab so far. That was a tough game on paper and we dominated away from home. Well done TC and all the lads long may it continue. We march on. Together.

TC really did his homework and it was a pleasure to watch. Tactically we were fantastic and I was trying to think what other people would try and pick holes in and I am pleased that thus far posts have been positively positive 😂 It's going to be a great season. The only thing I would change is that I would get a time machine and get a couple of years back for Hernandez - he looked knackered - bless him. Work rate was fantastic- everyone put in a great shift - keep it up boys MOT👍🏻

Middlesbrough 5 shots at home 1 on target! That was like us last season with negativity Nancy! Now 18 shots and 4 on target equals 2 goals and a bloody good performance! We are seeing things for what they were now aren't we and we are very fortunate Mr Monk wanted to go elsewhere! MOT 👌👍

How many clubs could have had their coach, an international goalkeeper, their best defender, their captain, their top of the league goal scorer leave and improve?

Last 5 games of the previous season we couldn't win. First 5 games this season and we haven't lost.

Best defender? Jansson? I didn't know Pontus left, could swear he played today. And we lost a international goalkeeper? Silvestri was a international goalkeeper. Only international keeper I know that we have is Green and as far as I know we haven't lost him yet

26 Aug 2017 22:24:12
Well let's not get carried away. BUT. That was a stunning performance. We are 14-1 to be champions. Maybe have a flutter Lucas?

27 Aug 2017 00:16:29
EG - I may have embellished a little to make a point. If Barts wasn't our best defender he was damn close and to all intents and purposes we have lost Green - certainly wasn't there today and I don't think we will see him again (wish him all the best and thanks for last season) . Point taken though.

Quite right. That was as good a display as we've seen in recent years. Total domination from almost the first minute. Outclassed a team that people think are good. No more boring defensive displays hoping we can sneak a 1-0 win by lumping the ball up to wooden top. What's not to love about the whole team

4 clean sheets in a row. 5 games played, 5 undefeated. 1 point off top 2. Forget the playoffs. We should be aiming for automatic.

Believable2 Unbelievable0

26 Aug 2017 20:15:13
Whoa just slow down a minute. As you point out just 5 games played. It's a long season dragging through the depths of winter but I like your spirit. I am sure a lot of managers start the season aiming for automatic, until reality bites bursts their bubble. Having said all that, play offs or auto, we are looking good.

Yes, it's just five games played but we can see things taking shape. These lads still have yet to gel and adapt to each other's game. They're getting the basics right and they're working hard for each other. I can only see performances improving. Performance today wasn't perfect and we've been lucky some of the mistakes weren't punished. TC will be working on those I'm sure.

I think TC is the polar opposite to Monkey. Tactically, the opposition do not know what to expect, nor can they predict how a sub is going to change those tactics. The man is a league above. On and on!

My inherent caution, as a Leeds and England fan, generally prevent me from getting overly optimistic. However, Messrs Brightwhite and Sydleeds, I cannot help but concur, TC and Radz are clearly deep thinking and measured chaps. I now dare to hope that you have got it right and we are going to crush the Boro, Burnley, etc and the other turds that we meet along the way. Come on Monkey man! Ignore me gents. I have celebrated our victory with a cheeky one too many.

In negotiations to sign polish/Swedish striker who is playing for Malmo currently; Patel Cibicki. 1.5mill is the offer and he doesn't have the greatest scoring record. Strange one this.

We have better at the club already, can't see that this player is any better than favours who we let go. We need a forward who can score in this Division not a prospect for the future. Hope this Swedish forward is just a rumour not what we need right now.

So we have a number of injuries that won't be ready for today and yet I feel we still have quality to select from - can't remember the last time I wasn't too worried. I think this will be a tough game but I am hoping that if we can keep them out then we will nick it. I was suprised at TC comment ref only needing a striker, I think another Utility player across the back would make me a little more comfortable- don't need any more injuries in that department 🙄

Has anyone on here read the EFL pullout page 6/7? The comments made are from two ex footballers Viv Anderson and McQueen and the comment that peed me off the most was from Gordon McQueen! Firstly he reminds us all of why he us for Man Utd saying 90% of players say they want to play for them and the other 10% are lying! He then says we have been left behind by the teams in The Premiership and maybe it's been to long for us to ever return there! All that is blah blah blah to me as these people only ever come out of the woodwork when we are worth talking about! But the comment that got me very very wound up was his comments about MC and in his words "Leeds have had to many years of disruption and particularly those under ex owner MC! In 3 controversial seasons and employed 7 managers"! Why do papers let idiot comments like that stand? No mention of how Bates nearly ruined us again after being ruined by Ridsdale, nothing about how he got us back on even ground or the fact of why he is the reason we are on the way back again! Every time we get a sign that things are going well some idiot comes along and tries to spoil it, so my next words are swear words so I will leave it at that! MOT 👍

MW67 You taking the article too seriously and the wrong way. They're haters. It's good to have haters. Sign doing something right and making others envious. This season we should just do our talking on the pitch and not get embroiled in has been punditry. I guarantee you once we're back in the PL these same persons will collect cheques from journos saying it's great to have Leeds back, we've been missed and they all knew we'd be back soon! Such journalism makes me smile 😁 MOT

All that matters is that we know that MC (whilst slightly whacky at times) had a good head for business and balanced the books. We are in the position we are today because he applied austere measures and chopped the excess fat. Had we not been in such a poor financial state I am sure he would have bought back ER as promised but the fact was that things were a lot worse than many realised. I for one will always be great full. Many forget that when he arrived we couldn't even pay the wages of staff and players etc and he paid them ahead of his take over!

26 Aug 2017 12:17:24
And that's why I post on here, you guys give it a different perspective and all of you in your own words are right, I just think it got to me because it was so unfair on Leeds supporters and on MC. I did say in my post that they all come out of the woodwork when we are doing well! It's ok to slate if you have a pop at everyone's problems but no it's always easier for them to do it to Leeds United. It would do Corkwhite good to read it then he might see it's not always the supporters who slag off players! Cheers fellas, 3rd place beckons! MOT
