Leeds banter 5

26 Apr 2024 10:34:38
Good morning boys and girls.
Have any of you received tickets for the Southampton game via the ballot
I haven't heard anything and obviously assuming that I've missed out.

26 Apr 2024 11:53:39
I havent, but I know that people who have have already been informed so i would also guess that you missed out. i think if there are returns you may still have a chance, or if you just keep checking the ticket portal sometimes one or two come back available.

26 Apr 2024 12:36:45
51, if you don't hear, you don't get! I have been in a few, including this one, and i didn't hear or get one either. Even bought train tickets 2 months ago thinking and hoping I'd get 2. As I have said before, Wonka bars have a better win ratio.

26 Apr 2024 12:52:59
So Dougie should we call you " Charlie" when / if you do get a ticket?

Believe Half full Dougie ✨️.

26 Apr 2024 15:27:22
If you had seen me Tuesday Baz i was more like Verucca Salt stamping up and down 🤣. Even half full Dougie was a little pessamistic with this one 😉.

26 Apr 2024 15:56:19
Dougie indeed 😉

And tonight will you be serial non stop gum chewing Violet Beuaragarde?

to help deal with Uber stress of watching Leeds United must win match 🤯.

26 Apr 2024 16:41:50
Flowers… for me? I do declare, Mr. Beauregard.

DF says that'd Bryam has been in ice bath for last 48 hours - poor fella, hop his wife "finds" things without too much problem.

QPR 1 LUFC 3, get yer money on it.

25 Apr 2024 21:38:10
It's on 1970, it's on:)

25 Apr 2024 23:52:37
Just like in Wanted. Hope we bathe in much success and hot tub afterwards.

25 Apr 2024 19:02:54
Apart from the obvious results we wish this weekend, its possible that if Hudders manage to beat Birmingham they may have a chance of staying in this division, meaning they may fight Ipswich all the way and who knows maybe not the walkover expected.
Hopefully this won't be the last straw.

25 Apr 2024 19:57:29
Totally agree Whitsee, only a few games to go for Ipswich and they will trip up in one or more of those games, Huddersfield will be a tough game as lots of teams at the bottom need wins, while Hull need wins to get in the play offs, so for me it’s all still to play for and I do think we will finish 2nd 👍👍👍👍.

25 Apr 2024 20:10:40
Gòod call re Huddersfield

Baz predictions

QPR 0 vs Leeds 1 ( heart over head . probably more likely a 1 1draw

Huddersfield 2 vs Brum 0 ( keeps Huddersfield alive for Ipswich final game )

Norwich 1 vs Swansea 1
Wendies 1 vs West Brom 1
( to keep Hull up for Ipswich

Now the other big one

Hull 2 vs Ipswich 1

Preston 2 vs Leicester 2.

25 Apr 2024 20:43:40
We only need Hull to get a draw against the Tractor Boys and we win our last two games. Simple math! Forget about all the other teams.

25 Apr 2024 22:25:23
Love the optimism Baz 👍👍.

26 Apr 2024 12:54:37
Optimism runs through me veins Woody pal.

24 Apr 2024 22:00:40
Best result we could have hoped for, Hull winning, means they will need to beat Ipswich for play-off spot, obviously providing Norwich lose. We so desperately need a win on Friday, if that happens a loss and a draw gets us up.

24 Apr 2024 22:20:25
Stevie, stop stressing, it's cool. We are destined lol, but a part of me hopes we go up at a packed Wembley in late May, what an occaision that would be. I think though, by Tuesday evening we will be promoted 😁.

24 Apr 2024 22:59:44
Vid Ipswich will beat Coventry . Hull vs Ipswich is the key match as long as Hull still have a chance of getting into top 6

Leeds must beat QPR on Fri

On Sat 3pm Norwich and/ or Baggies must NOT win to keep Hull with a chance of top 6 when they play Ipswich Sat at 8pm.

25 Apr 2024 02:18:29
The timing is not great.
All week I’ve thought. Yeah we got this. We are going to do it.
We just have to see how it plays out. We don’t know what results of games are going to be. Look at toffees last night 😮
We can only try and win ours and the stars align
Two more big heave hos and fingers crossed back to the promise land.
Hoooooo raaaaaaa.

25 Apr 2024 06:53:51
Impossible to predict any results now. Coventry have just as much chance to beat Ipswich. As Middlesbrough proved, you don’t have to have anything to play for to put out a big performance.
In fact the more the importance, more the pressure and nerves.
Leicester could although unlikely, lose their last two games!
When you are behind, as we are in the table, the psychological point is that we have nothing to lose, to protect your higher position, you have everything to lose.
The strength is in the attack not in the defense, so to speak.

25 Apr 2024 07:47:22
Even if Norwich win (hopefully only by a small margin) , Hull would theoretically still be able to get past them, but obviously with a significant swing in goal difference.

While. Coventry will have nothing as a team/ club to play for hopefully their best players will want to put in a decent effort against one of the top teams to prove their quality to potential suitors who could provide an alternative route out of the EFL. Obviously the dual disappointment of just missing out on FA Cup final and now falling short of playoffs won’t help the atmosphere in the stadium, but I guess beating high-flying Ipswich would be the last thing for them to aspire to for this season - one last hurrah, their final game at home to QPR is hardly one to set the pulses racing.

Much straw-clutching, I know, and the proof of the ‘pudding’ will be in the watching/ listening, from behind the sofa.

25 Apr 2024 08:07:03
You got to love our team and this site, brings people together to talk a load of old dribble, and i mean that in a nice way. Doris Day sang a song about what we are discussing, Que sera, sera, whatever will be, will be. Gets grip on tight, squeeze the old bum cheeks in and hopefully enjoy the ride. MOT.

25 Apr 2024 12:10:14
It might not have been pretty, but I think the Boro win might just be the thing to get us back on track and provide the impetus for wins in the next two games.

The one thing I know for sure is that I am going to enjoy how ever many games we have left before the tedious silly season starts.

25 Apr 2024 14:46:16
One doesn't need to sing your fave Doris Day songs Dougie to correctly predict

1) Citeh win league. check

2 ) Luton, Burnley, Sheff U going down. check

3) Everton won't be anywhere near getting R . check

4) Leicester win Champo. check

5) Man U are mediocre/ underperform again . check

6) Leeds U finish 2nd . check . (ok that one was not predicted 🤔😀)

25 Apr 2024 14:52:15
Getting to EPL is financially desirable of course . but not sure any Sheff U fan enjoyed much/ any of their season in it

A truly woeful season with an avalanche of defeats and goal concessions

EPL genuinely not really much of an enjoyable league to be in for quite a few clubs supporters perhaps.

25 Apr 2024 17:18:53
Wasn’t for us for the last two season either!

25 Apr 2024 17:35:40
Definitely Brighty.

25 Apr 2024 18:01:38
Yes, two bad seasons in there for us. Especially the last one and those awful last 10 games.

25 Apr 2024 19:43:13
Stadium 🏟️ expansion is the 🗝️ to higher achievement in the EPL.

25 Apr 2024 21:17:24
Kinda agree George. But the right recruitment more important.

25 Apr 2024 23:53:41
Cork Don't think the two can be achieved simultaneously. We must prioritize the stadium 🏟️.

26 Apr 2024 12:58:45
George. Brighto stadium. is smallish yet they have been. doing great for many a year with great recruitment

So Cork is correct.

26 Apr 2024 15:19:28
Baz Brighton is a one-off. Just because they have done very well using whatever model they rely upon doesn't mean we can replicate it. The financial rules are changing to a SCC. Squad cost control. It's directly linked to incoming revenue so gate receipts will play a substantial part in the equation to allow large spending on recruitment. We therefore need a 50,000 seater minimum in order to compete. I'd personally argue we could use a 60,000 seater.

26 Apr 2024 15:35:21
There are examples of other clubs too George such as Brentford, Palace, Fulham and dare I say it Bournemouth

But fair enough re your point on changing financial rules.

26 Apr 2024 16:00:04
Baz Yes those clubs along with Brighton are what Orta ought to have been. Perhaps the clue was in his name. Our new sporting recruitment team is a vast improvement.

24 Apr 2024 21:08:39
Hull win tonight keeps them bang on with a chance of top six. Huddersfield beat Birmingham at home next game and they have it all to play for away to Ipswich last game.
We beat rangers and even though it's out of our hands I make us favourite for top 2!
Such a massive game Friday. We need the big performers to perform. Another Cree goal cutting in and a Bamford tap in should do the trick 😆.

24 Apr 2024 21:51:00
Just finished. Good news for Saturday - tigers have every5hing to play for.

24 Apr 2024 22:10:23
Err BUT we need either Norwich or West Brom or preferably both NOT to win their Saturday 3pm games

As otherwise Hull can't get top 6

Hull play Ipswich after these matches.

24 Apr 2024 22:16:09
Timing is everything. Leeds played Coventry at an inopportune time

Ipswich getting Coventry at a good time with Cov weary, nowt to play for.

24 Apr 2024 22:35:51
Baz are them three games not being played the same time? Therefore Hull will be going hell for leather on the day just in case Norwich or Brom fail to win.

24 Apr 2024 22:38:14
Itractors should not have luxury of knowing either way at this point of the season.

24 Apr 2024 23:01:33
Nope Cork . key words . Hull vs Ipswich is "LATER" on Saturday.8pm.

24 Apr 2024 23:43:18
Hell just seen the match times. More bad luck!
Don’t matter anyway as we are going UP!

24 Apr 2024 20:19:03
Woody we can dream but why not eh.

Tonigh Hull Cov is the worse possible pairing as one of them will probably have nowt to play for when they face the Tractors.

24 Apr 2024 20:51:34
I thought that too 1970 but Coventry have played one less than Hull so if Hull beat them they will still be up for it as an outside chance, although maybe I’m just clutching at very small straws mate! 🤞.

24 Apr 2024 22:17:36
Cov need snookèrs to get in top 6.

24 Apr 2024 07:39:35
{Ed's Note - Lets Be Rational has posted a new article entitled, Has PGMOL turned into an impossible to overthrow dictatorship?

24 Apr 2024 19:20:07
So Leeds win on Friday, then Hull beat Ipswich on Saturday then Ipswich draw at Coventry next mid week, then we are up! Simples! Then we can all have a nice final Saturday of the season with no need to worry and just enjoy the glorious weather and the beautiful football at Elland Road, I mean if only Carlsburg made EFL matches eh? lol 😂 😂😂🙏🙏.

24 Apr 2024 19:37:40
Lol smashin Woody, see my post in discussion! UTWDTP x.

24 Apr 2024 00:54:31
So Leicester will win league, between us an ipswich now as saints GD huge.
Still think Hull and Coventry are dangerous and can cause issues but we have to win QPR game.
Think saints may rest a few for our last game as going into play offs.

24 Apr 2024 04:16:56
First of all on Friday vs QPR:

1) Leeds MUST stop giving away goals, cheap goals at that!

2) Leeds score early please!

IF Leeds win game pressure on Ipswich is huge.

24 Apr 2024 08:15:52
Well looks like Southampton saving then selfs for us.

24 Apr 2024 09:26:03
No DJ on Friday. JA get the opportunity to impress as sub then.

24 Apr 2024 09:42:43
In the 85 min prob bright.
If we end up in the playoffs are our loan players available to us?
Not that we would play them. Just wondering if a season loan ends when the team that loaned them for example Middlesbrough’s season ends?

24 Apr 2024 10:30:35
The curious ( non minites ⁷case of Jayfon Anthony.

24 Apr 2024 10:32:21
The curious case ( of few minutes ) JA. maybe he will get a chance now after all.

24 Apr 2024 13:46:00
Baz Antony would have more minutes if crees form had of dipped or if he had been injured at anytime.
Plus his off field issues won't of helped. Also he must not fancy right wing at all as he has only ever played left.
I must say compared to the last few seasons we have been fortunate with injuries. We have had one or two but the core of the team has stayed pretty steady.

24 Apr 2024 15:49:38
Aus All loaned to us players remain available for the playoffs. All loaned out players (such as Ayling and Greenwood) remain unavailable for us during the playoffs.
