Easier to get a golden ticket Wonka bar tgan a Leeds ticket. Logged in at 1pm, 27000 in the queue.

19 Apr 2024 15:30:53
I was slightly ahead of you in the queue.
Where did all of these extra supporters spring from 🤔🤔.

19 Apr 2024 15:56:17
I used to get away tickets all the time too, but now you have have attended 22 away games, which it's impossible to get tickets for because you can't attend an away game. It's getting worse, been a member since it started, left for 1 year so didn't do 10 consecutive years, so not entitled to priority membership, but all the years before that don't count.
Indeed, where have they all come from.

19 Apr 2024 15:56:37
Did you get one Leroy?

19 Apr 2024 16:13:58
This is just one of several reasons why stadium 🏟️ expansion a must. Said at the time Publicity Pete ought to have used the funds he had at his disposal into the ground so we'd have a better infrastructure moving forward. Would have meant a lack of quality players in the noughties and probably going into League One but we did that anyway!

19 Apr 2024 17:35:37
Unfortunately, I missed out Dougie
I'll try via the ballot over the weekend
How about you.

19 Apr 2024 13:46:50
Conor Roberts out for the season. 🥴😔.

19 Apr 2024 14:27:49
We know how to buy loan and injure them .
Gray takes over. So kam and Gruev mid.
Prob same old up front. Zzz.
We had our chance to recruit but didn’t.
We are Leeds. But until our league position resembles Leeds we are old news.
It’s good we have a chance to experience new owners and manager this season.
Let’s see how smart they are for season 2.

19 Apr 2024 17:36:39
I think Connor Roberts got his injury during the International games for Wales.

19 Apr 2024 03:51:01
For me, we need a CMF, striker. Guess it all depends which league we are playing in. If we get promoted i'd go for one of the following forwards, Batsyui, Bereton diaz, Fofana or maybe scmodics.

19 Apr 2024 13:27:43
Defo a CMF and striker regardless of league we are in.

18 Apr 2024 15:43:39
Whatever league we are in next year a change of personnel is called for in some positions. One of these, possibly. is striker? Obviously Plan A would be to go out and buy the best we can afford however may I suggest a Plan B?
If there is real potential in Joseph then can we purchase a stop gap striker, to bring Joseph on whilst mentoring the young lad. There are a few strikers who have proved their worth in the past and still hold a credible threat up front. Danny Ings, Memphis Depay and Calum Wilson are just a few whose contracts are up for renewal next year and due to their age will be easily affordable.

18 Apr 2024 16:18:45
Definitely a quick natural goalscoring striker and a genuine CAM needed

We would have been Champions this season with them.

18 Apr 2024 16:33:30
We go up

Try Smozdics, really like him
His goal tally is off the scale for a mid, he makes Paddy look like a goalkeeper 😂.

18 Apr 2024 16:53:17
Baz looking at it Midfield is a definite problem next year, but in a good way!
Trying to fit Amps, Gruev, Gray, Kamara and (Crew) into 2 places?
Most managers would like that headache.

18 Apr 2024 17:06:48
I hear you Leo . they are all good ( ish) players for top 4 Champo definitely. EPL maybe.

but CMs should be scoring a few goals creating quite a lot of goals.

18 Apr 2024 17:09:15
Whilst I agree, in principle, Chris Szmodics stats other than this year are not amazing however while we are on the subject of raiding Blackburn, Tyrhise Dolan looked usefull should we need a winger.

18 Apr 2024 17:48:49
If we are still marooned in the Championship next season, I'd take both Blackburn players (Summerville and Rutter replacements)

18 Apr 2024 21:19:56
Right here, right now

Smozdics the dogs Niagara's

Surely we would show an interest in a position we were desperate to fill

I was bigging him up early doors this season Leo, seen him last and he caught my eye massively

All speculative I know.

18 Apr 2024 21:49:06
Chris would he genuinely be good enough in EPL.

That Coventry CAM player who was good in Champo who Blades bought last summer isn't pulling up trees in EPL.

19 Apr 2024 07:01:50
Fact of the matter is we didn't have a great window at the start of the year due to the mess the club was in and therefore didn't get the players DF really wanted, including a natubal CAM and a striker. We only moved for Piroe when our other targets fell through. I think we would look to rectify that for next season.

19 Apr 2024 07:43:56
Maybe not Baz, but 30 onion bag bulgers says he's got to be on radar, he definitely not a Bburn next season

I watched him v Belgium for RoI few weeks back also

He was well able to hold his own,
He's been class this season.

19 Apr 2024 13:28:11
Fair enough Chris 👌.

18 Apr 2024 12:38:57
Fake madness, as some posters described him, justified in his actions for subbing Willy against Blackburn. Gnonto was still not fully fit and Farke didn’t want to risk him any longer than he already did.
Don’t be so quick to trash our coaches decisions when we don’t know the reasons behind it.
Gnonto’s impact on these last three games could decide whether we get automatic promotion or not!

18 Apr 2024 13:58:34
I agree op
But just want him to get it right. No fluffy ups.
Choose the right players for each game.
3 left.
Means.
No Bambi.
Gnonto before Dj.
Roberts before gray.
Firpo before byram.
Field in form uninjured players.
It’s our last chance.

18 Apr 2024 15:00:43
The Blackburn defeat on Farke.

1.Primarily taking off Gruev leaving Leeds nonsensicaly with no CDM at nil. nil. the Blackburn goal does NOT happen otherwise.

This is NOT just my opinion but many Leeds United content creators opinions Connor McGillgan, Kagey TV etc

2.Balderdash on Gnonto just an excuse. The guy was full of running and looked well peeved to be coming off

3.CR coming off less disastrous than IG in particular. but questionable too.

18 Apr 2024 17:56:53
Totally what Baz says. Ignore the flannel from LUMP.

18 Apr 2024 18:48:05
You don’t know your talking about hindsighters,
Your insults are literally water gliding off a ducks back, so glad I’m not a WUM.

18 Apr 2024 19:09:48
No idea what / who “LUMP flannel” is supposed to be referencing, but I suspect it’s disparaging. Anyhow I agree with your post Aus. My sentiments are the same.

Good points OP. There’s only two reasons Farke did what he did.

1) he knows all of the information about the status of the players
2) he reads these pages and did it to wind up Baz and George.

Pretty sure it’s the first reason.

18 Apr 2024 19:31:36
Ani
Flannel sounds pretty apt actually

Keeping on the bathroom analogies . these " dodgy excuses " on here are getting more slippery than a bar of Lux soap 🧼 🙄.

18 Apr 2024 19:46:37
My opinions above are also the same opinions of renowned Leeds United content creators


But of course according to you therefore" they don't know what they are talking about either "and are WUMs.

Jeez keep it real OP.

18 Apr 2024 20:08:57
Whatever Baz, let’s just agree that we disagree with pretty much everything you and I post.
There’s no surprises in that.
Have an erroneously eroding evening.
Had enough of these crap posts, watching the Liverpool game.

18 Apr 2024 20:45:55
Baz "Keep it real"? His job is to perform the opposite.

18 Apr 2024 21:01:11
Ani Not disparaging, merely factual.

18 Apr 2024 21:17:36
George…what the hell does it mean?

18 Apr 2024 21:42:25
George and Ani I am guessing 🤔 ' LUMP'
might mean

Leeds United Media Propoganda

Or something

Alternatively

Let Us Make Peace ✌️ . maybe.

18 Apr 2024 22:06:28
💯👍. 🗑️go. Full 🏠 Brother Baz. 😃.

19 Apr 2024 08:06:48
Someone liking his own posts yet again!? 🥴😲
And now Farke is pretty much just a liar? It gets funnier with every post now!

19 Apr 2024 13:29:05
Bright no it seems other posters like George's posts. not that ' likes 'even important nest pas?

don't know why you keep posting this truly lame comment Bright for about 7th time now in less than a year 🙄.

19 Apr 2024 13:53:00
Hmmmmm. 🥴🤔🤔
Counting everything too now fella?

19 Apr 2024 13:54:26
And no one yet knows what LUMP even stands for?

19 Apr 2024 14:22:40
Guesstimate.

19 Apr 2024 16:40:18
Don’t waste your time with them pair of UmpaLUMPa’s
Brighty. I’d rather give myself an enema flush with caustic soda before taking their posts and likes seriously.
Moving on.

19 Apr 2024 16:53:09
Sounds like you already have had an enema flush 😳 with caustic soda grumpy OP lol 😆.

19 Apr 2024 17:00:05
Would that medicinal flushing event take place at Elland Road, not on a matchday but during regular office hours with the soda being purchased locally in the LS11 area by chance?

19 Apr 2024 17:22:55
Lol OP!
The best, most logical, irrefutable posts do get likes, of course. Not normally do interested. That is why these jump out as utterly laughable sadness! 🤣🤣🤣.

19 Apr 2024 17:43:04
Bitter Brighty too lol.

19 Apr 2024 17:45:33
Baz This is why he only gives half his name. It's really Pessimist Optimist Optimist Pessimist. 🤣.

19 Apr 2024 17:52:12
George Lmao 🤣 😂 😆.

18 Apr 2024 08:11:13
Oh well. That's put paid to us taking advantage of the extra champs league spot next year.

18 Apr 2024 11:30:22
Still in with a shout for a Championship spot next year though.

18 Apr 2024 15:02:10
Gest you not Cuppa . likely scenario.

19 Apr 2024 07:04:20
I would be happy enough with that. Becoming increasingly disenchanted with the EPL.

17 Apr 2024 22:58:49
I think Darlow is assured of his place on the bench for the remaining fixtures.

18 Apr 2024 11:30:50
Possibly although no injuries so I hear.

18 Apr 2024 13:49:08
Will KK go back to be prosecuted tho?

18 Apr 2024 17:58:47
Maybe he was trying to enact some symbolism to match the end of our season.

19 Apr 2024 07:04:52
Prosecution would probably take time imo.

17 Apr 2024 22:28:40
Both Bam and Piroe have missed sitters in last couple of games. Away from the cauldron of what was" fortress";Elland Road I would be tempted to start the young uns up front. Piroe blanked when right through and Bam couldn't even get his head on the ball instead of his shoulder when basically unmarked in the 6 yd box. Those are probably going to prove to be expensive misses. Hansen was proved wrong when he said you can't w8n with kids - let's give the LUFC kids a go.

17 Apr 2024 23:39:23
Likely though just one change by DF ; Bamford in for Piroe.

DF isn't going to start MJ.

Be refreshing to actually indeed score goals from corner/ set piece!

If we be behind at 60 mins bring Cressy on last 30 mins . Amps into midfield. Cressy to score a couple of headers.

Sort it Herr Farke!

18 Apr 2024 11:31:47
On the contrary I think our lack of experienced heads is costing us at this point.

18 Apr 2024 14:15:19
Alf our experienced heads can't even head the bloody ball! DF has no intentions of playing Cresswell and starting Joseph. We have NOT utilized our young talent properly in the past 4 years. Although Archie has played well this season and has proven himself, If his last name wasn't (Gray) he would have never been in DF starting team. I'm not bashing my youngster just stating fact.

18 Apr 2024 15:07:23
Bang on the 💰 money Hooksie.
" Experienced" players are of no use if they are bottlers under pressure like some of the shower that were masquerading as Leeds players last season.

and the likes of Bamford this season

Empty the stadium maybe he will score.

18 Apr 2024 15:08:59
A lot of young players play without fear

Fergie had no qualms filling his team with young players.

19 Apr 2024 07:06:05
Silver foil on offer in Morrisons if you need a new hat Bermuda.

17 Apr 2024 11:51:09
Against Middlesbrough I don’t have a problem with Farke starting Bamford or Piroe, but if we are not in front by h sixty minutes he must give Joseph on.
Overall our problem currently is more to do with confidence, you see that our ball retention and passing is way off our normal game.
I’d also prefer Willy to start as he does posses an extra edge in our attacking flanks.

There no denying that it will be crucial that.

17 Apr 2024 12:23:20
Willy Gnonto AND Daniel James must start. we must WIN . need goals . and players who do score on pitch

Its a MUST WIN . must score gosls

Mes

Roberts
Rodon
Ampadu
Byram

Gruev
Piroe ( radical but he has 12 goals GK has zero )

DJ
Gnonto ( in. the 10 )
Summerville ( or Anthony )

Joseph

If Summerville isn't on it yet AGAIN . hook him off at HT for Anthony.

17 Apr 2024 13:09:52
Willy is currently more of a threat than James. James has been back to his head down no idea best since int break. Def Willy on. Gray for Rutter. Nooooooooo Bamford. Rather play cooper up front 👍.

17 Apr 2024 13:23:42
Gray has been awful Aus past games and has zero goal threat


We need goals.

17 Apr 2024 14:21:16
Yeah. But Rutter has too baz.
I think they both need a rest. I don’t know. So many are tired or out of form.
It’s tough from here.
Not sure what our sub usage is like compared to other 3 but our supposed starting 11 prob reduced to about 4 worthy of a start now.

17 Apr 2024 15:01:28
Our window of opportunity has passed for automatic promotion! BUT, I believe we win the Playoffs.

17 Apr 2024 16:14:18
Never write Leeds United off.
We always do things the hard way and that is where we currently are
Middlesbrough like to attack, which should help our attackers to find space and hopefully score
I live up here and everyone keeps saying they will struggle on Monday without Luke Ayling.

17 Apr 2024 19:40:29
Don't forget Rutter had a serious op during the international break. Its going to be tough to come back from under any circumstances. Hopefully the extended break will help a few reset.

17 Apr 2024 20:26:34
One of my mates had a hernia operation in December and still feels discomfort now
Rutter was straight back into training and then games
Yes he's an athlete, but he's also a human and most likely feeling niggles.

17 Apr 2024 20:33:46
I guess it may have not been feasible to delay Rutter surgery until next month.

17 Apr 2024 22:40:07
Yes I have had hernias and they do take a few months to properly recover from. Obviously Rutter didn't get an NHS special but still. Think the club must have had no choice but to risk it but that situation more than any other has derailed our season.

17 Apr 2024 23:45:56
Blimey Cuppa you have had a lot of injuries for a whipper snapper :

hernias ( plural ) , ACLs, 2 broken legs, spinal injuries. etc etc.

18 Apr 2024 07:11:50
Yes 2 hernias but the first when I was 5. Not really spinal injuries more a bad back - add to that 2 fractured arms and I also had a rare problem with a bone slipping out of place in my left hip for which I still have 2 titanium screws within. That was a 2 year revovery as well which effectively killed off my football 'career'. At least if I get murdered and my body is found years later the identification should be fairly easy. Other than that I think I've been injury free.

18 Apr 2024 11:32:45
Didn't Gray score for us not too long ago?

18 Apr 2024 15:12:18
No Gray has Zero goals for Leeds Cuppa

Sorry to hear of your lengthy injuires.

18 Apr 2024 18:02:34
Alf Sorry to read about your injuries. Don't joke about death. Hopefully you'll be around a long time and to witness 🤍💛💙 EPL and CL titles.
