20 Mar 2024 18:46:49 ALAW? You wouldn’t think so with all of those posts below! Yes Baz you are correct with your predictions a lot of the time, but so are others, but unlike you they don’t keep going on about it, I said a few days ago that I placed a bet in the bookies which didn’t win, I didn’t go in the next day and the staff weren’t going “ you were wrong we were right, you’ve lost your money! ha ha” OP has genuine opinions and is right with them, so does Aus, and Berm does to, he’s not a secret Millwall fan just like you’re not a secret Ipswich fan, I remember last time I was on here you hated it when posters questioned your love for Leeds because you were negative in your posts, you did not like it! So banter or not Berm is Leeds through and through just like me and you and all others on here! This is not banter and we should all be enjoying the situation we find ourselves in by being top of the pile, it’s great times and better ahead of this is anything to go by boys! I really like your posts with stats thrown in and your knowledge is educating, you really do know your stuff, but so do OP, Brighty, Cleggy, MG, and Corky etc etc and especially Class’s detailed posts, so hence our famous song ALAW, ALAW, ALAW…. let’s start being All Leeds. We all know what it’s like to be a Leeds fan, the ups should be enjoyed because as we know the downs are usually just round the corner. Sorry pressed send by accident! I meant to add that Canada, George and Alf both put great posts on here as well that we all enjoy reading, this is a good banter site put together by the Ed’s, so stop your dick measuring Baz because you know I would win that hands down! lol 😂😂😂 if I’ve missed anyone, sorry and this is not an attack on Baz because I really do enjoy your posts mate and I reckon we all want the same, THE QUADRUPLE! 🏆🏆🏆🏆🍻🥂🍻🥂🙏🙏.

To be precise Woody it was more incredulity being referred to as a Man U fan ( by I forget who it was so ridiculous)

Being referred to as a Wendy ( by OP) and even more silly by Berma as an Ipswich fan was water off a ducks back; I have never given a Scooby Doo what Berm rants about.

But good post from you Woody top very balanced poster . cheers for positive comments too.

20 Mar 2024 19:18:16
Lol, nice post Woody, exactly correct. We are all Leeds and we do all have our opinions, as I have said before it's what family's are like, there are squabbles but the love should never be questioned, that's the glue that binds us. PS, I freely admit, it was me, I said from the start, even though I was called a silly sausage and Aus said my optimism made him sick, I predicted the riot lol. Don't falter now siblings, believe in an back our boys, don't let fear or caution muddy he waters. AlAW and UTWDTP ❤.

20 Mar 2024 19:08:01
There is one difference between myself and baz

It says somewhere… at a football club I think

Said before self! I disliked Belisa f Phillips… I could see the faults and for me the writing was on the was for Phillis from the stoke game (Belisa 1st in charge) and for me once we threw away automatic promotion with some awful losses Belisa had to go.

But when we went up I was delighted to be wrong and posted such on here. I’m gutted in the end I was right

Baz is self before side… he’d love us not to go up and being right and dissing farke means more than promotion

That’s a huge difference and one which says everything about the baz

Remember I got barred from this site for over a year for my disgruntlement woth baz. again seems I called it right.

Banter is banter, opinions is opinions

But does this site have a place for baz… hinest question? I got barred for less

This is no longer a leeds banter site but a handful of people. Myself included arguing with a rude, Nacasist

Called many times for Ed’s to step in like they did with me. Maybe one day it will happen and the site will be better for it.

{Ed025's Note - i must admit Bermo i have not noticed the things you have talked about mate, but i will certainly keep my eye on the situation..

20 Mar 2024 19:42:33
Nice one Baz, you are definitely marmite aren’t you! lol and cheers Vid, like the family connection, it made me laugh mate👍👍.

20 Mar 2024 20:03:47
Cheers Woody 🤗.

20 Mar 2024 20:14:31
Cheers Ed,

Great site and great Ed’s very much valued by all.

{Ed025's Note - cheers mate..

20 Mar 2024 20:43:48
Yes totally agree regarding the Ed’s and this site Berm, I really like this site and thankfully we have the Ed’s to referee but there is only so much they can do without being biased, so in all honesty the rest is up to us all to think before we post, I’m not perfect but I read my posts to make sure they don’t sound rude or condescending to anyone and posted without malice. Thank you Ed’s we all appreciate you and the time you give to us on this site 🙏.

{Ed025's Note - thats all we want Woody, we all need to have respect for other posters even if we dont agree with their views mate, its all about opinions in the end and even though there is nothing wrong with a bit of banter it does need to be toned down at times, you all support the same team and want the same things so there should not really be so much angst guys...just try and enjoy it..

20 Mar 2024 21:49:06
Seems a few are ganging up on other posters why if you don’t like don’t read it and don’t reply to it it end there .

20 Mar 2024 21:51:35
Well said Ed 👍👍.

21 Mar 2024 06:15:39
Great points all, including Ed!

21 Mar 2024 07:01:07
Thing is I’ve personally had Baz and George at times relentlessly pummel me with their posts after something I’ve posted which was like bait for them to have a go. Some of it non too savory either.

Now this is how I see it, in all honesty it really doesn’t bother me, I don’t even know who Baz is? I don’t know his real name, I don’t even know what he looks like or the sound of his voice. Therefore I simply can’t be insulted or belittled or whatever by a faceless and nameless person who posts stuff on the internet.

This is a football banter site, it’s about opinions and a lot of them, some of them we agree with and some of them we don’t. When we disagree the discussions can get a bit carried away. If we all met in a pub let’s say there is absolutely 100% no way we would converse in the same manner, that is because you are not communicating with a faceless, nameless person.

So on this forum when someone like Baz dishes it out to me for example, I’m ok with it, but I will dish it back. Baz is ok, he’s not a snowflake and isn’t offended, he gets what this is sometimes about. You give it, you take some back.
So no need to think Baz or anyone else is being ganged up on. A little bit of perspective and understanding has to be drawn upon, nothing is going to suddenly change and everyone agrees with each other being extremely pleasant and polite to one another.

This is a football banter forum on the internet, but there are limits and that should be recognized.

Many thanks to all the Ed’d by the way, love this site and I enjoy it with all you posters.
Especially with you Baz 🤥😉
Onwards and Upwards to the promised land.

{Ed001's Note - thank you OP, always good to read your posts too.}

21 Mar 2024 08:21:25
Agree with op

This is a fun site and banter is banter but like with op George and baz just rentelessly goad and pummel me, never with any form of wit just with personal unintelligent insults.

As a leeds fan growing up in millwall in use to getting stick and take it on the chin but I have never in my life been bullied and if I don’t get bullied in the homes stand when it’s millwall v leeds I’m certainly not going to stand for it on this forum from a keyboard worrior.

Would baz and George speak to me and op like this face to face…. Not a chance so to do so on here I think is the lowest of the low in my honest opinion.

21 Mar 2024 09:18:19
Likewise I enjoy it especially with you too OP🤗😉.

21 Mar 2024 10:27:01
Yep, the twosome, one of whom I didn’t want to call out or mention, have been known to “gang up”. Also not acceptable, and I’ve called it out as I’ve seen it. No place for it, which is why I chose to mention a similar incident below as not necessary too. Tantamount to attempted bullying, which is my pet hate at any age, in any walk of life.

20 Mar 2024 12:54:59
Anybody know if Baz lives at home or an institution.
I mean it should make a difference how we treat him right.
Argue or just pretend he is right.
Although he never is.
I am. And most posters on here are wrong sometimes. But not baz.
Maybe Baz is the oracle berm and we all deluded.

Agree1 Disagree0

20 Mar 2024 13:13:55
Lol Aus .

You can pretend I never am ; knock yerself out fella

Facts are I am a right fairly often.

20 Mar 2024 13:20:45
Proof you are right supplied by Bazald himself there Aus 😉.

20 Mar 2024 13:45:17
Hey " system lurvin" Canada 😂. good to hear from yer .

any update comment from yer on that all important Leeds United GOAL DIFFERENCE 🤔.

20 Mar 2024 14:08:07
Brilliant!

I will concede my self imposed title of the oricle to baz… on the understand he gets nurse ratchet to give my back my pills!

20 Mar 2024 14:27:48
Berm it was a tad funny if a little bit lame

But boy you do again like your hyperbole Berm. ( this time with ' brilliant' opinion) .

Anyways thanks for my deserved genuine Oracle status.

20 Mar 2024 15:37:05
The Oracle of what? Lame predictions. 🤣
You are the worthy owner of that title Baz.

20 Mar 2024 15:48:38
You are not biased in any way of course OP.

20 Mar 2024 15:49:44
Bazald you know damn well I have been proven right on the goal difference topic!

You were told not to worry about it as we would naturally be comfortably ahead of Southampton once we caught up the points, which thankfully has happened.

But you will insist you are right and the rest of the world is wrong as you are simply that kind of sad individual. It's OK, you do you and keep trying to bait people and lying to make yourself look good if it makes you happy, but seriously it shows a pretty severe underlying insecurity issue that you maybe need professional help with, don't dismiss it, seriously look after your mental health it's important.

I won't waste anymore time on you as you aren't the type to have a reasonable discussion with using things like the truth and facts, so you keep trying to bait if you want, I have a life outside of this forum so will still be more than happy without any interactions with you 😉.

20 Mar 2024 16:01:30
Facts are Canada. without Leeds winning by 3 or 4 nils as I urged in early Jan, Leeds would NOT have caught up on Leicester GD . and therefore be 2nd not 1st. Chill man.

It is what it is.

20 Mar 2024 16:17:50
Oh I wouldn’t get too harsh with Baz Canada, you know it all about swings and roundabouts. Baz in his time has dished out a barrow load on this forum, non more than myself on subjects like relegation, which he did get right but wasn’t that difficult to predict as we were in and around the relegation zone for most of last season. However this season he has been completely blow out of the water with his predictions of league position, Farke and many other points.

I’m just going to have the great pleasure of reminding Baz of this season’s lame predictions by him for many, many, many, many months, like he did with me and others.
Suck it up Baz, better luck next season pal, you never know we might get relegated next season, might be right up your street for one of your future predictions.

20 Mar 2024 16:41:48
If I had a quid for every time you said hyperbole I’d have more quids than you’d have brain cells

You are baz certainly the most popular oracle on here.

Did nurse ratchet give you your cigarettes in the end?

20 Mar 2024 17:51:12
Very funny Aus 🤣🤣🤣
This is all getting a bit past the banter stage is it not?
Baz is Baz after all. He can get on my tits I must admit but he does add to the forum one way or another?
Still he seems to have a hide like a rhino so let’s all pile it on 😉
Only joking Bazza 🤣.

20 Mar 2024 17:59:13
Blown out of water OP?

No way at all!

Facts are :

Just for starters

1) I predicted DJ would have a sensational season ( 22 goal contributions) . Correct

He currently has 20 goal contributions with 8 games to go.


2) I predicted Leeds would have a difficult December with 3 away defeats in December. 100% Correct

3) I get a lot of results and a fair few exact scores of top 4 predictions . I mostly predict Leeds to win ( not lose OP )

4) I called out and predicted the foolish ' Ipswich have gone ' was baloney 12 games ago.100% correct.

Etc etc

To your credit OP, what I do like about you especially is that

1) you never lose your cool

and

2) you have a good sense of humour

. fair play OP.

20 Mar 2024 18:04:01
. one more thing OP

You do realise that Leeds could still finish 4th,

in which case my 6th place prediction will be more accurate than your Champions 1st prediction.

I do blooming hope you be right though, delighted by it!

20 Mar 2024 17:16:24
P. s love the whole

I urged leeds to win 3-0/ 4-0 a lucky they listened to me and are now top

Like anyone thinks winning 3/ 4 nil is a bad idea… it’s brilliant

In other news … committing sucide is a bad idea if you want to live.

20 Mar 2024 18:16:08
Cheers Corky. appreciate it.

20 Mar 2024 20:02:59
Who's arsed keeping track of all their predictions 🤣.

20 Mar 2024 21:24:04
I agree with Corky here. It’s not time to “gang up” on one guy.

20 Mar 2024 22:10:00
Cheers Brighty. I do appreciate it.

20 Mar 2024 08:38:15
Given the Start we had this season after the exodus of Judas, judas, judas, judas judas and Judas etc DF has done an amazing job. So were we are right now is a credit to him. i sure everyone on here agrees we would have settled for the table as it is now. i however would prefer a two horse race for the title rather than a four horse race for promotion but beggars cannot be choosers so i would imagine 100pts secures second spot at least. hail king Daniel.

Agree4 Disagree0

20 Mar 2024 09:15:08
I
Think you forgot to mention Judas!

20 Mar 2024 09:38:32
I think 101 is gettable for us. Depends what others get. going to be a scrap. That’s for sure.

20 Mar 2024 13:11:06
100 points will secure top 2 imo

The fact that 3 other teams

including little ole League 1 Ipswich ( hats off to McKenna doing much better comparatively with a weaker squad than Farke, Maresca and Martin )

are in the Top 2 race,

Leeds fans may want to rein in the

" Leeds Legend" and " King " Farke stuff until hopefully he wins league

And if we weren't to go up.

20 Mar 2024 19:10:36
What about your god Belisa… he didn’t go up first season either. In a poorer leauge with a better hand? Farke got more points than Belisa when he got us promoted.

Put that five times here… no respons… wonder why baz

I’d be delighted if we go up

Leeds go up many on this site are right and you’d have to put one thing on here

I baz was wrong! Litterally all my Christmas come at once!

20 Mar 2024 19:59:17
Another day another Berma Bielsa rant Zzzz

By the way Berma . Bielsa is not my ' god' . only 5th best Leeds manager/ coach ever imo.

20 Mar 2024 20:16:01
5th best

In all honesty what’s top four? You have supported leeds longer than me so I have huge gaps in my kwonlehde so would value your opinion on this.

20 Mar 2024 20:32:24
Berm no way did Bielsa have a better hand than Farke.
Not many from that MB side get in this current team.
Pablo, Bamford obviously and dare I say maybe Phillips?!
Ayling Douglas Cooper Klich Harrison Kiko not a chance! Forget Ben White, he’d walk in.
This side literally has much more quality and depth.

20 Mar 2024 20:43:07
Spot on Corky . not even a debate about it.

20 Mar 2024 21:13:02
Cork course he did!

Belisa took a stable team, invested 20 million in a star striker (bamford was integral to besila team) he had Harrison, klich Dallas and number of players who did a job in the prem. granted bubs improved them.

Farke had a load of really odd loans, players leaving the sinking ship and couple who stayed wanted to leave but staying. He then had misfits like firpo, struijk, James

Farke stablised the team, got the most fits firing and brought players like gnoto in from out of the cold

He played a worse hand than Belisa just did it perfectly

No one had us for promotion after a summer of nonsense even our own oricle had us 6th at best

When Belisa took over we was bookies favs…. Says it all

Plus this years leauge is far harder.

20 Mar 2024 22:01:00
Bamford cost £8m. James cost £25m.

19 Mar 2024 21:30:35
The more I think about our Leicester win, the more I believe it will be a defining result. Imagine them not getting auto and us and Ipswich get autos, twill be one of tge biggest shocks in championship history.

Agree5 Disagree0

19 Mar 2024 22:34:08
Agreed Leo

And therefore huge special thanks then to :

DAN JAMES and CONNOR ROBERTS as the catalysts for the mega huge vital comeback win against Leicester at home

As without them coming on Leeds United were getting nowt, nil points, nada, zilch with that ineffective starting line up.

20 Mar 2024 05:14:39
The entire point of subs is for them to have an impact, Baz. So correct impact with those subs from Farke. Games are marathons (so to speak) and you can't always get it bang on at the first opportunity, hence why implementing personnel at the right time of the game to swing momentum happens so often.

20 Mar 2024 06:35:13
Football is a team effort not a sole individual one.

20 Mar 2024 07:32:44
Yes Dill and thank goodness they did . otherwise we would be 6 points behind Leicester

OP and? . individual players win matches for teams.

20 Mar 2024 07:44:58
It's becoming more and more obvious that you don't understand how the game of football works Baz.

20 Mar 2024 08:13:25
Alf very funny and spot on

How about a huge thanks to our keeper who pulled off a wolrdie in the first game about 89 minutes in and a great save at 0-0 in the second game

Funny how baz agenda has a huge baring on these results

Next thing he will say something stupid like our amazing away form is down to nothing but luck… oh wait no, he had already said that!

20 Mar 2024 08:40:12
But we aren't. Farke made good decisions. Case and point made. Hence the points lol.

20 Mar 2024 12:04:12
Are you using our points total to make your point dill? A very novel approach!

20 Mar 2024 12:21:44
Haha, yeah, it seems pertinent here Bermo.

Baz wants to have a little dig about Farke's decisions that game, but he made the right ones when it mattered and the points are now ours.

So good decisions in the end, right Baz?

20 Mar 2024 13:31:49
Dill yes Leeds THANKFULLY won game in very last part of match against Leicester . fair enough .

Should remind you though that I have previously provided facts that DJ when started scores the very important FIRST goal in FIRST half in 8 Leeds United victories this season .

Often when Leeds United concede 1st goal they LOSE

When Leeds United score 1st goal they ALWAYS WIN

Them be the facts Dill and co.

20 Mar 2024 13:41:26
Jeez . OP when are you EVER going to write something FACTUAL. 🤔🤔🤔🤔

It all depends on whom Leeds United are playing whether I think they will win, lose or draw.

Yes sure last season a woeful R fodder Leeds team I wass RIGHT and entirely logical and reasonable to predict/ think Leeds would lose against majority of EPL teams


BUT this season my pre match predictiond for 95% of matches have been for Leeds United to WIN
(! l and often by 3 or 4 goals!

So OP that does NOT fit your disingenuous factually incorrect narrative . again 🤔.

20 Mar 2024 17:42:21
If I’m not wrong Baz your 5-0 win predictions only started by the end of January when we were winning every game. Unlike your reveling in our not so great results in December and our no chance of automatic promotion. 🤥hmmmmm.

20 Mar 2024 19:07:06
The 5 nil prediction was Preston.

tne 3 nil prediction was Birmingham etc ( 100% correct)

' reveling' in Dec defeats?

No OP. castigating is the word.

20 Mar 2024 19:11:27
Leeds won… fair enough… brilliant love from the leeds fan!

20 Mar 2024 20:06:39
And when we score more than the other team we win. Which we did against Leicester. Not sure what point is being made by yourself here, Baz. Other than Farke making the right decision at the right time to win us the game. Feels like my point is being reinforced.

19 Mar 2024 11:33:33
How many points do you think we will get out of a possible 24?

Agree0 Disagree0

19 Mar 2024 12:19:48
We got some tough ones in there so I’m going with pess 15 Opti 19.

19 Mar 2024 12:33:19
I have absolutely zero doubt in my mind that we will win all of those 24 points and that has got nothing to do with arrogance or disrespect to any of those teams we will play.

19 Mar 2024 12:40:54
Good question Whiteman, so my predictions would be;
Watford 0 - 3 Leeds
Leeds 2 - 0 Hull
Coventry 1 - 3 Leeds
Leeds 4 - 0 Sunderland
Leeds 3 - 1 Blackburn
Middlesbrough 0 - 2 Leeds
QPR 0 - 2 Leeds
Leeds 2 - 1 Southampton

So IMO 8 wins, no draws, no losses
Points 24, Goals scored, 21 Goals against, 3

My prediction is made up of 5% knowledge and 95% of hope with Leeds tinted glasses on! 🤓 🙏😂😂MOT.

19 Mar 2024 12:44:56
I will drink to that!

19 Mar 2024 12:49:20
Woody, I don't care how you've arrived at your predictions but I love all of them:) ) )

19 Mar 2024 12:50:22
27 pts
Id settle for Woodies prediction though.

19 Mar 2024 12:51:30
I’ve got you OP all the way my friend, 👍 great to be able to feel this way eh and I for one am loving the crest of the Leeds wave that is happening in front of our rose tinted glasses mate 🤓🤓👍👍.

19 Mar 2024 12:54:48
The top teams are averaging over 2 pts per game

Think on our day we can win every game

How many points is needed is the big question?

19 Mar 2024 12:58:28
Cheers Cleggy and Corky, it’s great living in my semi detached Leeds bubble 🫧 🫧🫧🫧 lol 👍👍.

19 Mar 2024 13:07:59
Watford 0-3
I’m too tired to go on.
Hilarious thought.
At least 8 of those scores wrong. Drugs?

19 Mar 2024 13:50:50
36… we are that good!

19 Mar 2024 14:14:30
100 points total required for definite promotion imo. maybe less if other 3 teams around us falter from pressure too

so 18 more points required

6 wins out of 8 guarantees promotion.

19 Mar 2024 14:19:26
Leeds have been lucky away from home in 2024

Dependent on Leeds team line up but Coventry away is tough and could be a defeat

Boro away too.

19 Mar 2024 16:04:28
I think we end up with 101pts and if that doesn't get us automatic promotion then there is no justice.

19 Mar 2024 16:28:56
I'm thinking 20 maybe. With you baz on cov or Middlesbrough as a slip up . And maybe a streaky home draw with someone.
Hope it's not last game my ticker could not take it!
It can be a funny time restarting the league after that many days off. Players away on international duty.
Which team comes back firing and who takes a game or two to get going.
This break might suit leicester and distrust our run.

19 Mar 2024 16:34:13
Boro aren't good. They've lost more games than Hudds this season. We should be beating them handily.

19 Mar 2024 16:40:09
Just wondering as well Baz, which away games we've been lucky in on 2024?

The one we won 3-0 against Cardiff?
The one we won 1-0 against Bristol?
The one we won 4-0 against Swansea?
The one we won 2-0 against Plymouth?
The one we won 2-0 against Sheff?

Or I guess you mean the game where we conceded our ONE (single) solitary away goal against Hudds.

Don't give me that lucky b*ll*cos 🤣

Have picked up 16 out of 18 points away this year, scored 13 and conceded 1. Hahaha. Lucky. Tut.

19 Mar 2024 16:55:18
Good post Dilli 👍👍.

19 Mar 2024 17:10:54
Dill

We didn't start well or play well against Huddersfield and Wendies definitely . lucky aimo to come away with 4 points

We could feasibly lose any of the 4 remaining away games . Still not totally convinced by us away

If you think Boro away is a shoe in ' beating them handily' . Good luck with that fella.

19 Mar 2024 18:07:04
Cov won't want injuries before FA Cup game so may be easier than we'd expect.
Boro will be missing a couple of players as well!

19 Mar 2024 18:22:42
Baz, try to understand, it’s not how you win it’s the fact that you win however you play.

19 Mar 2024 19:03:53
Canada . Leeds play Coventry 2 weeks I believe before FA Cup .

Furthermore more importantly they are looking at promotion thru play-offs. no way they resting players in league Mr Mountie


By the way thank goodness Mr Farke wisely listened to my sage advice and got a few 3 and 4 nil wins recently. GD currently separating Leeds and Leicester for starters 😊 😃.

19 Mar 2024 19:09:09
OP what you mean like against
Preston, Baggies, Stoke, Rotherham, Sunderland, Birmingham, Huddersfield, Southampton, all away

And Coventry, Baggies, Wendies, Cardiff home

Try to " understand " OP . when a team doesn't play well the chances of not winning significantly increase.

19 Mar 2024 19:19:42
Fantastic response thanks guys 👍.

19 Mar 2024 19:27:54
I don't think they'll have owt to play for come the time we play Boro, Baz. Already 7 points adrift. Another loss and they're out of contention imo. Their next game being Saints 👀

Just think it'll be the right time for us to play them. I am expecting 3 points.

19 Mar 2024 19:33:20
Furthermore. What would convince you of us away? I mean, we've got the best away record in the league this year and we've the fourth best away record over the entirety of the season with 2.37 points per game.

And we're above all the other teams in the league based on this form.

I can't fathom your ridiculously high expectations when it's clear to see, demonstrably and tangibly, that we are doing well away from home.

Can't please everyone, I suppose.

19 Mar 2024 21:13:56
Great teams play badly and win. this is why farke is great

Belisa team played well and lost…. Why I predicted his doom

We have more points than Belisa team that win leauge

I know your rooting for Ipswich but coke on baz credit where it is due?

19 Mar 2024 22:32:51
Dill sometimes it is games like these that can trip teams up. All our games are winnable but away days can always throw up freaky results. Middlesbrough Coventry or Watford are not easy games. Plus hull at home will be tricky as they are playing well and desperately trying to make the play offs.
But fingers crossed we can get over the line.

19 Mar 2024 22:41:54
' coke' Berma?
No thanks. it makes one delusional.

19 Mar 2024 22:46:02
Well said Ben
Sensible voice of reason. refreshing.

20 Mar 2024 05:26:55
I think Cov look dangerous and they will have something to play for coming into their game against us. Hull at home also tough. Really like Philogene and they will give us a game, but would lean towards us winning given home record/ form. Not sold on Boro or Watford at all this season. Both teams I expect us to beat.

Fact remains Baz has erroneously said we've been lucky away, when we clearly haven't. And we've also had one of the best away records in the league this season. His ridiculously high standards are nothing more that seeking absolute perfection, which wpuld be a huge anomaly (no one goes unbeaten away all season in the champo) and just something for him to moan about. 2.37 points away from home is a number which generally gets teams promoted year in year out from this league (our current away record equates to a 53% win rate, which is above the number that we've seen teams auto promoted over the past 3 seasons. )

Hence why there has been no reply to my previous comment.

20 Mar 2024 05:57:59
I replied previously to your post Dill at least 2 matches most definitely ; excuse moi if I don't reply to every post

We disagree on this matter no problem

As for Leeds United away record for season we have lost 6 matches against CHAMPO teams with a forward line of a

£35 million player, a £25 milion player ; a £15 million player, a £10 million player and 2 players each valued betweej £30 to £40 million plus

Don't get too giddy Gill
( and other posters) for the players we have we have under achieved a tad away.

20 Mar 2024 06:51:57
There is no reply to that post 👀

We'll have to disagree, Baz, on the basis that you don't like the stats which disprove your theory that we aren't convincing away from home.

*2.37 ppg
*Least goals conceded away in the entire league.
*Unbeaten away this year.
*Most away points in the league this year.
*83% away win rate this year

You can disagree all you like, but would be easier to admit you are wrong here. Because you are 👍.

20 Mar 2024 06:55:11
Baz would you have predicted that we won 12 out of our 13 last league games and drawn the other?
Answer, No. Because your realism is unrealistic given our current form and momentum.
I sometimes feel it’s like you are willing for us to lose games.
Why?
Give reasons why you think suddenly we will start losing games here on in?

Your negative predictions Baz for our club are erroneously eroding with every post you make.

20 Mar 2024 07:20:26
I’m going to optimistically go with “enough” points!

20 Mar 2024 07:45:53
Dill it is what it is . imho I am correct

OP you keep wheeling out that erroneous disingenuous ole chestnut of yours half way down yer post

I did NOT in any post state we 'WILL' lose any of the 4 remaining away games I said we feasibly could lose say one or two of these tough high pressure away games.

An entirely reasonable, rational statement from moi.

'There are no guarantees in football' . your words OP on your posts yesterday.

20 Mar 2024 07:49:16
The Hull, Coventry, Sunderland run will be very tough with all 3 pulling hard for the playoffs. Emerge with max points after those 3 and we have a very very good chance.

20 Mar 2024 08:42:14
Lol okay. I mean there's clear data points which are irrefutable, but whatever.

20 Mar 2024 10:22:37
Of course there are no guarantees in football, let’s just say I am wired polar opposite to you Baz, I like to believe and believe I do, that we can win every game we play as opposed to your losing games.
Realism doesn’t come into it, would you have said it was realistic that we win 12 games out of 13?
If you’ve got a ticket to a Leeds match do you go to watch it believing your team will win? Of course you do. So why even say we could lose games from here to the end of the season?
It’s like waking up in the morning and saying, I might have a really crap day today.

20 Mar 2024 14:09:47
Op you are definitely wired differently to baz! And cheers to that.

20 Mar 2024 14:57:15
Thanks Berm but I don’t want that word wired getting mixed up with weird. I think if I woke up one day inside Baz’s negatively erroneously erroooooding head, I be scoffing all nurse Ratchet’s happy pills.
The thing is for Baz he knows he’s got nearly all of his predictions this season completely wrong, and he can not simply put his hands up and say,
I got it wrong.
It’s not a big deal Baz, especially when we are top of the League.
Get in. ⚽️⚽️.

20 Mar 2024 15:23:35
Fair dos on top of league OP . hopefully also at end of season too.

20 Mar 2024 16:49:06
Nice of you to say so Baz, but should we end up top the pile this season you know I’m going to be rubbing it in for quite a long time. 😉.

20 Mar 2024 19:14:12
Baz don’t do coke as he don’t want to be dillsional and coke makes one dillionsional

Baz knows this as he was told so by a talking horse.

Baz my pal, in answer to your post, Coventry have their cup semi final to think about which might help us and Middlesbrough will have a couple of players short as we loaned them Ayling and Greenwood so they will be disjointed all of which might help us Baz my mate. My concern is this international break which always seems to affect us somehow, either by injuries or poor form after the break, if Wales go out are the Welsh contingent going to have a hangover through the disappointment or will it push them on to get Leeds promoted? Is Georginio going to be fit in time from his operation, and obviously if we have a blip then we really don’t have enough games to pull it round! It’s got to be a continuation of what’s happened in the last 13 Championship games, it is totally in our hands 👍👍👍🙏🙏.

19 Mar 2024 19:41:52

yep but Cov going for promotion via playoffs and the huge EPL riches

As for Boro they will be well up for it against Leeds

Rutter injury is a huge concern.

Joe Rodon and Ethan Ampadu at centre-back for Leeds:

Mins Played: 1,170
Matches: 13
Games Won: 12
Goals Conceded: 3
Goals Conceded From Open Play: 0
Clean Sheets: 10

Ampadu and Rodon have now played 19.5 hours of football at CB without conceding a single goal from open play.

Agree6 Disagree0

19 Mar 2024 08:42:36
As useful as he can be in mid. With gray Gruev and kamara, Amps is rooted there now.

19 Mar 2024 12:56:13
Great stats them Brighty thanks for sharing them mate. I am loving this Leeds team mate and I hope and pray we don’t make the same mistake as we did with Ben White, Rodon gets Leeds and the fans, he’s got to stay and Ampadu, well what can I say, an absolute star 🌟 and what a bargain eh, we could have 3 of him for what we paid for that melt BA! Immense both of them and great post Brighty 👍👍.

19 Mar 2024 14:13:17
Always thought of Amps as more of a ball playing CB anyway. Saw him play some great games there for Spezia last season. It's just his innate versatility which has allowed him to play well in DM too. I prefer him at CB as he get more time on the ball for his vertical passing.

19 Mar 2024 15:53:56
I think ampadu is a defensive mid and I think he was bought as such. He has played in that position for Wales recently.
It just happened struijk has been out so long and we have just clicked that he is just fallen into cb.
By how he spoke at the start of the season he sees himself in midfield. I don't know if he will be happy in the long run at cb. But we know more and better defenders are needed if we go up.
By the way I just read an article on amps on the BBC site about how he will be the youngest Wales player to reach 50 caps in the Finland game. All the Wales players and staff agree he will be their next captain.

19 Mar 2024 16:49:23
Has played more games at CB throughout his career Ben mate. Playing there now for us, played there for Sheff United, played there for Spezia and the minimal games he got at Leipzig were all at CB.

Last season he played there all season for Spezia and was their best defensive player (more noticeably after Kiwior left) . He's versatile and gets deployed at DM as he's more than capable, but I really think his best position is as a ball playing CB. He breaks the line easily, reads the game well and can play vertical passes to his hearts content, while under little pressure. He's definitely press resistant enough for DM, but just means he's a little more rushed picking a pass out. Seems to find better ones more consistently from CB.

19 Mar 2024 19:32:48
I'm just going on what the man said dill. From what he said when he arrived he preferred dm and was enjoying getting to play there.
Thing is if we get into the prem we might find amps is not physical enough for a regular cb. Ben White got found out at arsenal got bullied at cb.
I do prefer amps in midfield as he can always drop and cover cb and i like his drive in midfield.

In the Championship in 2024, Gio has created the most chances in open play (26) , made the most successful take-ons (42) , won the most duels (118) , played the most through balls (13) and won the most fouls (33) of any player.
Don't like that phrase "won fouls": he has been fouled more than any other player!

Agree7 Disagree0

18 Mar 2024 20:19:38
Let's hope he recovers from surgery in time for good Friday!

18 Mar 2024 20:22:02
Love the positivity and knowledge in your posts! Reading them make me nod in agreement and make grumblerly apporval noises. long may this continue.

18 Mar 2024 21:23:46
I no we paid a good price for gio but he is turning into a hell of a player.
If we did not have him we would have scored a lot less goals.
And his enthusiasm and exuberance in the team must be infectious.
I read he is going to have a hernia sorted in the international break. Hope it goes well as we will need him for those last games.

18 Mar 2024 22:13:34
Didn't Struijk also get a hernia and we are still awaiting his return? What is it with all the hernias?

18 Mar 2024 22:55:12
Given our medics records Gio Rutter will be out for minimum 4 weeks possibly 6 even possibly rest of season

At least we have a CAM to replace him. oh wait.

19 Mar 2024 01:44:15
So then you are saying he's another girlish .

19 Mar 2024 02:44:59
We got Piroe baz.

19 Mar 2024 06:28:19
Brightwhite thanks for the info on that mate. 👍.

19 Mar 2024 06:42:30
I believe Pasc’s was a little more complicated, with an accompanying abductor tear. Don’t know enough about Gio’s, but know there is a large scale of hernia variations and severity. Hopefully his is a very minor, keyhole solution!

19 Mar 2024 08:44:27
Apparently Rutter’s hernia problem is not complicated and only requires minor surgery. There is a good chance even he’ll be available for the Watford game.
He’s been playing with this hernia strain for the last three weeks and it has affected his full fitness.

I believe they penciled in the international break as a opportunity to have this minor surgery so that we don’t lose him for too many games.
I imagine the Hull game will be more realistic for his return.

19 Mar 2024 09:39:54
Gio has also lost possession 894 times this season with 62% in his own half.
Gio has scored six goals.
Maybe stats are misleading?

19 Mar 2024 12:07:45
Fair point Corky. As always, any stat can be flipped on its head, to tell the opposite tale, or an entirely different story. Depends on the story you want to tell.

19 Mar 2024 12:56:37
Exactly Bright.
The point I’m trying to make is if Gio keeps playing the way he is and losing the ball in midfield we will be in right strife against better opponents in the top flight, obviously if n when we get there.
He can be a joy to watch but so so frustrating at times. Maybe the manager tells him to play as he likes as most Championship teams will not punish you?
And he really needs to work on his shooting!

19 Mar 2024 12:58:52
Worth considering Cork, however, I would defer to the outcomes derided from the stats.

As a perceived positive you could argue successful take ons made, do not always result in a chance made or goal scored.

But having the best assist record in the league has led to goals points, losing possession 62% of the time in our own half not great but we know (certainly) since the start of the year, we have not conceded from open play.

But as Brighty says statistics can be read very differently but I believe on goals created alone by Gio his own relevantly low goals count and loss of possession in our half are traits I’m happy to continue with to season end.

19 Mar 2024 13:15:20
Agree 100 class.
We all got jobs. But bottom line is what we paid for.
Is it a bad thing Dj, gnonto, Jimmy etc etc haven’t saved a penalty this year? Or should they not had to.
All good being a team game right. But attacking player don’t generally save goals and defenders don’t generally score goals.
Cork. Sorry mate. U r wrong.
I’d rather Gio deliver in attacking half than defensive.

19 Mar 2024 14:18:55
Have never been in doubt of Georgi's talents. Defended him until blue in the face on twitter last season saying he never got enough game time or opportunity to show us what he can actually do. I said he was our most dynamic player and got laughed at by some idiots who don't know ball. Glad he's proved the naysayers wrong and happy I was vindicated.

All it took was a good manager and a run of games for him to showcase his talents. Cracking young player, who's only going to get better.

19 Mar 2024 16:05:31
Corks he's still young and yes he tries too much and probably holds on to the ball to long but he'll learn.
With his shooting I think he need to stop trying to kick the leather off the ball every time he shoots but again he'll calm. It is his first season playing this many first team games and his first over here.
I think if he gets a run in the prem he will find the defending different not as physical and desperate to win the ball.

19 Mar 2024 16:10:07
I rely on what I see on the pitch, stats are misleading whether they are good or bad.
It’s a fair point about losing the ball too often, but we are in the Championship and not the Premiership, I think that’s the way Farke and his coaching staff want him to play in this league, it’s possibly slightly more forgiving which makes him more effective as his assists account proves. and also the havoc he can create in our opponents half.

In the Premiership I’m sure his role maybe less flamboyant and more controlled as to not lose possession a bit like Grealish with Pep.
What you see of Rutter is not the finished product, with maturity he will be more controlled and I’m certain his goal tally will rise with that.

19 Mar 2024 17:15:18
That’s a good point too OP. How many times do we watch a match, then see some stats about something particular, and think “eh? What game was that? Wasn’t what I watched! ”.

19 Mar 2024 19:57:18
Yes bright good point.
The thing to remember as well with gio when he loses the ball he chases to win it back.
He is not a player that loses it and throws his hands up.
He always does his defensive duties.

20 Mar 2024 07:19:24
I think the Gio we see next season, will have matured a little, strengthened a lot, and will be a force to be reckoned with in the PL, should we get there.

18 Mar 2024 17:39:49

Did I read that Leicester are under investigation and any punishment will be give next season, why, NF have just been docked 4 points and if true they should be docked this season.

18 Mar 2024 18:25:01
Present him with the trophy 🏆 Bright.

18 Mar 2024 18:59:15
The captain of the national side won for the 3rd year running, with Ilia a very commendable second, interestingly for the second year running! Still great recognition for the lad on the back of a Fantastic season to date. First prize next year hopefully!

18 Mar 2024 19:00:25
Whitey, I think they have to be in the PL for them to punish them, so that one will be waiting for Foxes if they get promoted! Nice!

18 Mar 2024 19:06:43
Just 6 points Neverton


Noe Florost just 4 points. all seems uber lenient.

18 Mar 2024 20:03:20
Lenient is not the word.
It’s not a punishment, four points is easily retrievable, it’s sending the wrong message to the potential offenders of FFP. It’s probably worth breaking the rules if you only receive a four point deduction.
A waste of time.

18 Mar 2024 20:21:16
White, forest are deducted points this season for breaking the rules in last seasons accounts.
Leicester may break the rules this season so will be punished next season.

18 Mar 2024 20:41:45
Totally agree OP 4 points of 6 points penalty is no deterrent

And what is this about possibly having any appeal decision made 5 days after end of season .

19 Mar 2024 06:47:25
Canada. The PL can’t punish Leicester unless they are in their league.

19 Mar 2024 09:58:47
Neither can EFL, just as Vile!

19 Mar 2024 11:25:06
