Leeds banter 2

23 Apr 2024 12:28:35
I've only just calmed down from last night's game - I'm not sure which is worse for my health, a relegation battle or promotion push, heart rate goes through the roof regardless!

Only got three days to recover ahead of Friday's game - cold showers and something in my tea for the next few days, it's the only solution!

All I will ask of the lads is to try your best on Friday and please be 4 - 0 up by half time:) )

23 Apr 2024 14:20:11
Love it cleggy. Hard on the nerves eh. 4 is enough by ht I reckon.

23 Apr 2024 10:00:04
Amorim discussing next job with both Liverpool and west ham.
Tough decision that one.

23 Apr 2024 10:18:22

Jellied eels, pie and mash 😋.

23 Apr 2024 10:46:38
Jellied eels and cockles at Leigh on sea cockle sheds. Them were the days.

23 Apr 2024 14:21:59
Bermo. You south Londoner too. Been to Leigh on sea cockle sheds?

23 Apr 2024 14:29:36
According to Football news, Amorim has been offered 4 x more than his existing salary by Wet Sham whereas Liverpool only offering double what he is on now. Money talks, trophies don’t anymore!

23 Apr 2024 17:55:26
I think sometimes with the way our sport is these days, it's not how long you're going to be at a club, but what's the payout when you get the sack .

23 Apr 2024 20:10:40
Aus I hate sea food, that’s where fish make toilet!

My wife loves it but she’s a proper wring’un.

23 Apr 2024 09:28:59
Do I want 🦊🦊 to win tonight or 😇😇?
I've been staring at the table ever since our game ended and I still can't decide - I need to go to bed!

Suppose if Leicester win, the saints don't have owt to play for maybe by the time we play 'em?

Or if saints win is that better. crap, I should be at work by now

Come on you Saints! .
. or Leicester. or a draw? arrrrrrgh.

23 Apr 2024 09:53:06
Leicester win for me. Give them 1st. Narrow it down to us or Ipswich.
Don’t think saints will lay down either way last game. We need to be 4 points ahead of Ipswich by the weekend.
Can’t see them winning both their games. But can see them winning the last game.
Rather it all settled by the saints game tbh.

23 Apr 2024 10:22:50
Leeds beat QPR then Saints can NOT catch Leeds.

Saints win keeps 2 auto places up for grabs.

23 Apr 2024 10:33:38
I've had this same thought. If Leicester win, only 2nd up for grabs between us and Ipswich. If Southampton win, leaves 2 places open but between 4 teams. No matter what happens, we need to beat QPR on Friday. Ipswich have two tricky away games coming up and can't see Southampton losing to stoke. Potentially we could be promoted by next Tuesday if Ipswich lose both games and tonights game is a draw or Leicester win🤞.

23 Apr 2024 10:41:47
Some posts on this site are so stupid

Sorry but the op is an idiot

Clearly we want both teams to lose 10-0 tonight.

23 Apr 2024 12:19:44
A Southampton win for me! When we beat QPR on Friday that guarantees us to finish ahead of Southampton on goal difference. It will still be a 3-horse race for top 2 spots. They than will rest players against us for the playoffs and we thrash them. Meanwhile Tractor Boys and Leicester drop points. If all that makes sence.

23 Apr 2024 14:24:23
Dreaming berm tri.
Rest a proven motivated starting 11. Tosh.

23 Apr 2024 17:49:18
Southampton win, a draw at worst for me; Leeds hopefully beat QPR and then Ipswich face Hull, essentially the only team with a reasonable chance, with their game in hand at the play-off's beyond those sitting in those spots currently.

23 Apr 2024 17:49:22
Good post Hooksie

More than feasible scenario.

23 Apr 2024 08:43:09
A nervy 3 points but 3 points it is.
Had bit of luck too with gnonto goal being a fraction offside.
Seem a bit ponderous at the back. Too many side way passes still. Out pass stats were atrocious and our corners were too compared to theirs.
But looked back to our devastating best going forward although could have had couple more.
Worthy mention to Jimmy and Willy. Fine performance.
Bambi with his sharp shooter boots on again?
3 more points sat please 👍.

23 Apr 2024 09:10:17
Firpo played well too and got a couple of assists 👏👏👏👏.

23 Apr 2024 09:49:34
He did 51. Apologies for not mentioning him. He was a menace going forward.

23 Apr 2024 09:53:07
Yes Leeroy! Firps well worthy of mention! Dunno how many assists that takes him to, but he offers a lot going forward, and can really swing a decent cross. He’s also quite strong in the air.

23 Apr 2024 10:02:05
Archie moved back into mid

Return to some form

Coincidence.?

23 Apr 2024 10:27:28
Firpo 7 assists.

Front players looked more on it in this match

Leeds struggled a tad in midfield battle for 6th game in a row.

23 Apr 2024 10:43:46
We got a bit of luck but about time!

I love mes but he had a nightmare. There striker is a bit tasty and hope we get him next season.

Borough are on form was a big occasion and lots of neves but character and skill pulled through

Now hope the nerves get the better of the tractor boys.

23 Apr 2024 11:14:32
Mes having a nightmare for like the 20th time.

23 Apr 2024 17:54:38
Not sure Mez had a nightmare Baz? His defence was very questionable last night at times. I think he made some good decisions overall. Not sure what he could have done with any of the goals. It could be argued he was out of position for the third, but did anyone on our side see us conceding like that?

Changing the subject a little bit, I was encourage last night by how we dealt with the dead ball situations; lots of good strong defensive headers all night.

23 Apr 2024 19:02:40
Imo yesterday he was (and always has been dodgy) on positioning and shot stopping Ani

. maybe nightmare a tad hyperbole but that was Berm's interpretation/ word

You make a fair point 👉 about good defensive headers yesterday.

23 Apr 2024 19:06:33
He made 1 save Baz in particular which ultimately was difference between all 3 points +just 1

No 1 would have questioned howsons low drive had it been a goal

So well done Ilan.

24 Apr 2024 07:31:33
Agree with that Chris, had Mez not saved that shot and it wasn’t easy as his view was blocked, we might have been out of the auto chance.
Yes he didn’t have a great game this time but typical narrative from Baz who knows zilch about goalkeeping.

23 Apr 2024 07:39:30
{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new article entitled, Fulham v Liverpool - A Quick Liverpool Perspective

23 Apr 2024 02:22:01
Only 2nd time in our history we attain 90 points. Friday night surely sees us equal Bub record.

23 Apr 2024 07:37:42
I'm glad we got the 3 points and that's all the matters. However, being picky I feel we were too complacent at 4-2 and plenty of chances to finish the game off. We didn't and our dodgy defending nearly came back to haunt us. Hopefully another 3 points on Friday and hopefully promoted by 10pm next Tuesday 🤞🤞.

23 Apr 2024 07:42:57
I’m farke we trust

No opinions, no hyperbole, just points. In a more difficult league imo.

23 Apr 2024 08:35:44
A nerve racking game and we weren't at our best against a fired up Boro side and crowd. But we showed character and spirit to win it which will hopefully carry on on Friday. Win the last two and let's see where it takes us.

23 Apr 2024 08:45:19
Totally agree Berm, was listening to Eddie Gray on the radio this morning saying how hard Farke works on the training field with the players. Also talking to the players how much they respect Farke.

23 Apr 2024 08:52:04
Yes mighty very pleased with the 3 points. I saw glimpses of the pre International break leeds side last night but there was still too much of the post.
Rutter looked like he was playing with a very slippery bar of prison soap last night not a ball. He did improve a bit 2nd half. He has not found his form or confidence after his op.
It looked like archie was pushing a bit higher at times. We got lucky with the gnonto goal but I suppose we were due a bit . I'll take luck. A couple more bucket fulls please for the next games.
Their striker latte looks like a cup full of special. His two goals were well taken. Could we swap with greenwood?

23 Apr 2024 09:55:00
Or Bambi?

23 Apr 2024 09:56:32
Latte Lath is definitely worth monitoring. His header was quality, and takes a lot of doing! Also showed up defensively a few times at important moments.
Tbf, the Smoggies did create a very good atmosphere, which made for a good watch.

23 Apr 2024 10:31:18
Bottom line though 6 games ago . autos was in our hands! .

Just 2 games left . autos not in our hands!

No hyperbole!

23 Apr 2024 10:50:40
I was impressed with boro. Good passing and threat upfront and put a shift in defensively.

22 Apr 2024 22:30:52
Notts Forest a total disgrace. Unbelievable talk from them. Brian Clough would be ashamed.

22 Apr 2024 22:56:40
I get Florists frustrations though . Wolves also have had it very bad . but certain teams never get rough end of "decisions "

How much trust exists in integrity, reliability in football authorities and officials?

And where is the accountability ( suspension of 'inept' ( or other dubious matters) of refs and VAR officials .?

23 Apr 2024 04:26:15
Cork Ashley "Young" didn't exactly cover himself in glory with his provocative social media post referencing a song by Justin Timberlake.

23 Apr 2024 07:44:14
As a leeds fan I find it hard to feel sympathy for any team moaning about refs even if they are right.

For me that is like Douglas barder feeling sorry for a bloke with a sore ankle.

23 Apr 2024 10:31:36
How short sighted.

23 Apr 2024 11:27:35
Leeds have been on the end of a few dodgy decisions this year. A couple of hand balls not given etc. Though we did have a clear offside goal given last night so that was a little bit back. But it the inconsistencies that var was supposed to clear up that still keep popping up.

Coventry were given a penalty for handball at the weekend for a similar one to the forest shout. But I don't know why and I think they won't either. I just don't think var adds anything to the game in its current state.

23 Apr 2024 17:15:43
They get it wrong with VAR and they get it wrong without it. Makes it a waste of time and money to me.

22 Apr 2024 19:18:36
There seem to be a lot of press reports dating back to 2012 and 2013 labelling Ashley Young a cheat. Even Alex Ferguson criticised him for it apparently!

22 Apr 2024 11:24:58
I'm neither an optimist or pessimist just call it as I see it. Based on recent form and current standings can't see leeds doing it this time.

22 Apr 2024 13:50:45
How’s Ipswich recent form? Or Southampton last game or Leicester pre Brom.
It’s rsp time.

22 Apr 2024 08:35:29
Is it best for a Leicester win v Southampton now? Put them pretty much out the race.
Win ours? And hope league 1 Ipswich mess up.

22 Apr 2024 10:41:03
makes sense to me Aus, Leicester up and we sneak past the tractor boys does it for me.

22 Apr 2024 10:44:15
I've had the same thought on this one. Leicester win will mean only one automatic place left for 2 teams but a Southampton win potentially makes it 4 teams for 2 places. i'd potentially want a draw? Saying that, whatever happens we need to take at least 7-9 points from last 3 games. But we all know that with Leeds, it's easier said than done. Hopefully we can start with 3 points tonight 🤞🤞🤞.

22 Apr 2024 14:08:12
All we can do is win our three remaining games and hope that others mess it up. Since the international break, things have no longer been in our own hands.

There's still hope though guys - as you say Mighty, let's grab three points tonight:)

22 Apr 2024 14:08:53
Southampton win for me. If Southampton finish above us to take an auto place, then I’d be surprised if Leicester and Ipswich aren’t also above us.

For me we have to win our matches (so Southampton don’t matter) , so want Leicester catchable with Ipswich, if either then slip up.

22 Apr 2024 22:59:33
After tonight’s result, a Southampton win would be good for us I think as we will have 2 spots to go for instead of 1. Leicester are nervous, Leeds maybe over the nervousness after that win and then there’s non stop and totally unpredictable Ipswich Town. If we beat QPR Southampton can’t touch us, so that’s why I would like them to beat Leicester City. I think Hull City will turn the tractor boys over, and then my friends it will be squeaky bum time! 🤞🤞.

22 Apr 2024 23:17:05
Southampton win for me…keeps both auto places open.

23 Apr 2024 02:24:44
A ⚜️⚜️ victory could see 🙈 a complete stalling of the 🦊🦊. Their remaining fixtures not exactly straightforward.

23 Apr 2024 10:33:25
The more pressure Leicester have the better. hopefully they lose or at least only draw tonight.
