Leeds banter 7

11 Apr 2024 16:49:54
{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new player profile about, Alexander Isak

11 Apr 2024 10:59:14
It is good to see that rapha had a good game and scored a brace for Barcelona.
All the talk since he went to Barcelona is of him been out of favour not fitting in and being sold on.
Every time I've seen him play for Barcelona he has put 100% in as he did for us.
I know he is never going to be the most skilled winger Barcelona have ever had but sheer work rate makes up for it.

11 Apr 2024 13:20:01
His second goal was class 👌.

11 Apr 2024 14:11:33
Said before. Leaves Barcelona on a free or in a box. Fact.

11 Apr 2024 16:16:22
How is otva ' fact' Aus when it hasn't happened ( yet)

Your opinion : yes

The p word ( prediction ) ok.

11 Apr 2024 16:21:02
💩 Aus. Money 🤑 talks and his agent loves it. Plus Barcelona aren't exactly debt free.

11 Apr 2024 16:26:31
" Continuous Tippy tappy sideways and back 7 yard passes Farke Ball is quite often a yawn fest and at times very ineffective. AIMO.

Mix it up Farke! Encourage instruct your players Gruev, Amps etc to make KP style 25/ 30/ 35 yard long passes out wide/ over the top etc.

11 Apr 2024 16:58:03
Just watched raphas second dill. Excellent finish.

11 Apr 2024 17:00:14
And baz use to call me boring!

Now I am the first to admit …. I was boring

But at least I was insightful and correct?

Fake got points than Belisa this season than when we went up., in a harder leauge … plus we have had at least two games where we’ve been blantedtly cheated costing us 5 extra points

Give it a rest baz or come back when at least like me you are right.

11 Apr 2024 17:21:41
Is this the ' In Orta We Trust' Berma of 4 days ago .
newsflash Berma

Court of Arbitration CAS have confirmed today thst Leeds United have withdrawn their appeal over the £24.5 million JKA wages award

Well done Orta
Well done Berma .

Not.

11 Apr 2024 17:36:50
Berma this points Bielsa living rent free in yer noggin is amusing


only thing that is relevant is if Leeds go up this season .

Being 3rd as they are isn't enough


And as for style of football " Farke ball" is certainly less entertaining than Lèeds GREAT managers style of play.

Sorry.

11 Apr 2024 00:05:12
See Bristol's smacked 5 at Blackburn.

11 Apr 2024 06:54:09
Yep. Just our luck that Blackburn had a rest night yesterday, and will be up for it when they play us! Now they ARE fighting for somat, to avoid relegation; Typical.

{Ed025's Note - they are the weirdest side in the league Brighty, one week great and the next pathetic, which one turns up at the weekend is anyone,s guess mate..

11 Apr 2024 10:43:56
We need good early pressure and hopefully an early goal to take any fight out of them. Then we should be OK. A fast pressing start. Got to raise the tempo Tuesday night we kept hold of the ball but everything was glacial.

11 Apr 2024 13:46:06
Hopefully get a pen in opening ten minutes.

11 Apr 2024 14:14:17
Agree Ben. Pussy footing in defence sooooooo much just gives them time to organise. I have lost count of the times we have possession in final quarter by corner flag and 10 sec later mez has it. Ridiculous. We have the talent to hurt any team. Why so boring and scared to show it.

10 Apr 2024 23:14:47
So all those wailing about only a point this mid week, we have kept tabs with Ipswich and gained a point over Leicester. More twists to come yet I feel.

11 Apr 2024 03:26:05
Yet still 3rd Cuppa

with one game fewer

and Saints in 4th steaming up the straight like Red Rum 🐎 in his prime.

Leeds win next 3 games they be up imo.

11 Apr 2024 05:00:20
Will still be striving for 3 every game. But yes, the point has been okay this time.

One game fewer then Leicester only, Baz.

11 Apr 2024 05:55:32
It was an opportunity missed. We could have done better and had promotion in our own hands rather than still relying on others to fail. The top two win their remaining games we in play offs.
The criticism of players and manager this week have been justified. Simply not good enough not to beat Sunderland.

11 Apr 2024 06:05:43
Opportunity missed for all 3 Aus. Millwall or Watford hardly the cream of the division. At this point anything can happen we should be grateful to have collected a point.

11 Apr 2024 06:40:37
Well said Alf! The true “realists” recognise that this race is far from over, while the defeatists bemoan a point on Tuesday which could yet be decisive in our unexpected push for auto! There will yet be more twists and turns, I’m sure of that. Dare I say that we are not the only team at the top who have players looking a bit jaded!?

11 Apr 2024 07:59:32
We don’t know for sure there will be more twists and turns. They could win all there games. Not beating Sunderland is disappointing.
There would have been no one on here pre match that didn’t predict a win.

11 Apr 2024 08:56:49
Some very good points made above guys.

Whilst things are out of our hands at the moment and our good form has deserted us (temporarily) don’t forget Leicester are also struggling for form and Ipswich have still got to away to Hull and Coventry - I for one am very glad those two opponents are now out of the way.

Preparing for another rollercoaster weekend!

11 Apr 2024 10:31:55
With how the top three's form is recently don't think any of em will win all remaining games. So going to go to the wire. Saints arguably still in it too, although one loss would likely see them out of it.

About as much chance guessing which way a fart is going to blow in the wind as predicting the final league positions.

11 Apr 2024 14:16:41
Throw the grass in the air first dill. Will help you get wind drift. As long as not drugs mate. That’s just stupid.
I’ve got a feeling. We shall see if I’m right.

10 Apr 2024 22:11:26

11 Apr 2024 05:25:13
It was Alf's many cups of tea ☕ which caused us to go over budget.

11 Apr 2024 06:07:13
True, I have a voracious appetite.

11 Apr 2024 06:40:55
🤣🤣🤣👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻.

11 Apr 2024 08:15:12
£9.5 m payout for 2 x abysmal managers.
I'm definitely in the wring job 🤬🤬.

11 Apr 2024 09:01:24
Baz and George applying next time. They can then prove how much better they are at this lark.

11 Apr 2024 10:48:51
Just been reading about it bright. The 70 odd mil from raph and Philips save us from any danger and we go up all should be fine. If we fail to go up then the belt tightening will be starting.

11 Apr 2024 16:37:38
Cuppa who would you have preferred

Brenty? Chuckle brother? Or George and I?

( and we would only cost £5 miliion in compensation)

11 Apr 2024 16:59:34
Think I'd rather have Hockaday back before you two tbh Baz.

11 Apr 2024 17:05:33
Love it Baz 🤣.

11 Apr 2024 17:22:50
Love it Alf! 🤣.

11 Apr 2024 17:23:00
Alf That's rather insulting.

11 Apr 2024 17:53:18
Georgey 😂🤣.

Nah Cuppa deep down you rate us . a LOT. its ok your secret is safe 😎 😂.

11 Apr 2024 18:02:58
Alf If you recant your insult, am prepared to upgrade your boardroom nourishment to any biscuit 🍪 of your choosing or possibly a chocolate 🍫 eclair because I know you like 👅 that kind of thing. 🤣.

10 Apr 2024 21:53:02
Well, there you go.
Last night's result wasn't as bad a point as it seemed
All 3 teams are being thwarted by mediocre teams
Keep the faith boys and girls
Bring on Blackburn Rovers.

10 Apr 2024 22:45:50
Top scorers Ipswich no goals scored in 2 games . surprising.

{Ed025's Note - maybe their manager has not got a clue either Baz?.. :)

10 Apr 2024 22:58:09
Exactly Ed! And they didn’t have two clear pens… he must be sacked immediately.

{Ed025's Note - and i know a guy who can be the one to tell him Bermo.. :)

10 Apr 2024 23:00:46
Lol Ed025

its very good news for Leeds if Ipswich have finally run out of goal scoring inspiration.

{Ed025's Note - i thought you may have been upset with that Baz?.. :)

11 Apr 2024 03:32:00
You do Ed?

Paddy Power latest odds as to whom

8/ 11 Ed Sheeran

7/ 2 the youtube GOAT Ipswich Blogger Mr Benjamin Bloom

6/ 1 Mick Mills

13/ 2 Berms fave Jason Dozzell

50/ 1 Baz, the governor Big Mac McKenna.

{Ed025's Note - im on the 50/1 shot mate..

11 Apr 2024 13:47:18
Brilliant Ed that made me chuckle!

11 Apr 2024 17:01:51
Why is Jason dozzel my favourite? Have I missed something?

I say bring back Belisa and kp… I loved it in leauge one.

10 Apr 2024 21:44:40
Oh dear! Did Ipswich and the Super Gaffer of the Year fail to score at home against lowly Watford? They should really be scoring at home, surely?

10 Apr 2024 22:32:21
Maybe they'll get a letter ✉️ in the post beginning of next week?

10 Apr 2024 22:51:11
Have Ipswich finally " gone "?

Or were they unjustly treated by those beastly EFL officials

With four PGMOL apology letters on their way to sunny Portman Road.

{Ed025's Note - love it Baz..

10 Apr 2024 23:04:41
I’m sure Ipswich FC receive post like any club in the EFL George, nothing unusual in that.
No Baz, Lucky Ipswich simply ran out of luck, bit like your useless predictions 🤣😂🤪.

10 Apr 2024 23:40:24
Lowly Watford who we only just we only just drew with bright.
It's got to the end of the season where teams are gone or have something to prove and some silly results will happen.
Blackburn win big one week and get thrashed the next.
Who can predict what is going to happen next.
Strap in. We will have no finger nails by May.

11 Apr 2024 03:34:19
That predictive text is tricky for you OP lol .

I know you meant to type :

' masterly predictions '

11 Apr 2024 06:43:36
Good to see everyone getting their humour back! 🤣🤣🥴.

10 Apr 2024 21:44:37
🪝🇧🇲📐 See your mate bagged a couple for Bristol City tonight.

11 Apr 2024 00:48:03
I tried to convince Nahki Wells to play for Leeds last summer when he was home, He said NO cause DF would play Bamford over him. LMAO.

11 Apr 2024 04:47:10
Harry, Erling and Kylian told me the same thing.

11 Apr 2024 06:44:00
🤣🤣🤣.

10 Apr 2024 19:34:29
Well there we have it, confirmed that Leeds United have received six letters of apology from the PGMOL this season so far and that’s not including the two the club will receive for last night’s appalling refereeing.

That’s the real reason we are not top of the league right now.

{Ed025's Note - fair point OP..

10 Apr 2024 19:52:13
Can't stand 🐷🐀.

10 Apr 2024 20:37:25
So are we the only team in the EFL to receive such letters?

10 Apr 2024 20:38:35
Last night's blatant handball, the second one, was a stonewaller. Unbelievable it wasn't given.

10 Apr 2024 21:02:44
And how many letters have other teams received Leicester, Ipswich Saints is the pertinent question?

10 Apr 2024 21:59:18
Not getting one stonewall penalty in any match is hard to swallow, but two in the same match smacks of something more than just refereeing errors. Especially when you see the positioning of the referee in both incidents. And the linesman, or should I say assistant referee had an even better view of the tugging on Rodon and handball by O’nien for the the second penalty shout. If Don Goodman says that they were both penalties, then you know something isn’t right. Shocking officiating.

10 Apr 2024 22:00:00
Who cares? Your sentiment is obviously against Farke
and anything that that might be a reason for not winning a game is solely his fault.
You are very one dimensional in your opinions.
It’s my way or the highway with you Baz.

Strangely enough Lucky Ipswich were unable to beat Watford tonight, that must mean McKenna has got it all wrong with his selection and tactics. !
Bit like Farke eh Baz?

10 Apr 2024 22:41:31
OP All managers make mistakes. Can you guarantee we'll trounce Blackburn 5-0?

10 Apr 2024 22:53:11
Err so if Ipswich have 8 PGMOL apology letters?

10 Apr 2024 22:55:51
Don’t ask me BobbyK, do some research mate and find out.

10 Apr 2024 23:29:15
George I’ll leave the 5-0 wins for Baz to predict.
Baz find out for yourself instead of making moronic and unintelligent suggestions.

10 Apr 2024 23:46:01
Stoke were robbed of a goal for and a pen against tonight another show of poor reffing. What are ref assistants for? They never seem to intervene.

11 Apr 2024 03:38:04
As per your request OP, I have done my research / investigative journalism.

EFL head office of Supremo Greg Dyke have confirmed that Ipswich have been sent EIGHT letters of apology from PGMOL

So your theory is debunked.

11 Apr 2024 04:28:45
* Rick Parry and ( ex Leeds Chief Executive) Trevor Birch of EFL.

11 Apr 2024 06:40:31
Don’t know where you found that information Baz?
Sure you’re not making that up to suit your agenda?

11 Apr 2024 06:50:27
Their letters were apologising for their crap fans tho Baz……ours were only for poor ref decisions!
I think it’s time the Refs and liners were fully mich’d up, like the Rugby. Let’s hear what they are saying, and get a sense of whether they are intelligent enough, or observant enough, to even work as quality control at a chocolate fire guard factory, let alone referee matches where £’s millions are on the line!

10 Apr 2024 16:25:38
We always have difficulty playing teams who park up and drag back or bring down anyone who looks likely to be through.
They can do this because they know our corners or free kicks are easily dealt with, and of course refs are lenient, even with blatant penalty calls.
Don't blame them, its the best tactic to get a result.

10 Apr 2024 16:59:04
Indeed Whitesee. Our lowest expected goals are both the games against Sunderland.

Our Free-kicks and Corner routines are really poor and have been for a long time. When I am at the game and we "win" a corner it always amuses me that the crowd goes all vocal and excited as if there is any real prospect of goal. I would hazard a guess that we have scored the least goals directly from a corner.

When was the last time, a Leeds player stood over a direct free-kick that any fan had any confidence would score for us; it's been a long time.

10 Apr 2024 18:40:21
Raph and esp King Pablo free kick masters

DJ started looking quite good on free kicks pre International break

Maybe that Amari guy might have been good on free kicks

George was right about the scoreline nil nil and imo Cressy goals

Still think we have missed out on a potential load of Cressy headed goals from set pieces.

10 Apr 2024 18:42:58
Last night I called in to my mates to watch the match, Steve whose house it was is an Everton supporter, while Tony and Andy are Man Utd fans, the odd one out was Gregg who is a Birmingham fan. Now then, Man Utd, Everton, Birmingham, my god do they all have major problems going on! Everton by far the most worrying as relegation is hanging round their neck, so 4 hours of banter and football talk, absolute heaven, but even though those supporters did not slate their team or manager, Everton l’s board came in for scrutiny and Ten Hagg was mentioned twice, while Birmingham, well that speaks for itself eh! lol. My point is they all have worse issues than us, in fact lots worse than us, so why is it negative from some posters on here and not constructive criticism? Why is the negativity aimed so intentionally at some posters? This is one of our best seasons for four years, and may I add a lot better than a lot of other teams out there!

{Ed025's Note - well certainly Everton Woody..

10 Apr 2024 19:35:58
Woody mate perhaps they don’t have ambition like Leeds fans and perhaps they are happy with there team perhaps they don’t have quality sitting on there bench week in week out and a manager who brings on players who should have been on at the start not give them less then 10 minutes to work miracles perhaps we are more passionate about our team because we seem to have crap referees week in week out who knows.

10 Apr 2024 19:39:16
Woody perhaps to mate we play by the rules when others don’t and try to blame c.v. and when we don’t we get 25 points deduction with no right to appeal to get it reduced that why they all all happy perhaps.

10 Apr 2024 19:52:30
You make some good points Whiteman and I respect that, but maybe just missing the point that I’m getting at. We are 2nd, after 3 seasons of doing nothing, we have lots to cheer about and get excited about, last three game 2 draws one loss after an amazing run. Just one point I would like to say is that when we beat Millwall before the international break everything was great! So maybe not all DF’s fault! Wales got beat, Finland got beat, we had 3 injuries from it and a few players with their heads down after defeat! It’s not all DF’s fault and it’s also down to the players mate, but good post. 👍.

10 Apr 2024 22:19:58
Ani you beat me to the point about corners and free kicks, but I have posted about this previously. We had 13 corners last night and I think it was 9 corners against Coventry on Saturday, and apart from the penalty appeal where Rodon was getting his shirt pulled and the handball incident in last night’s game, we haven’t threatened the opposition at all. Can someone tell me, do we have a set piece coach?! I know it’s a ridiculous question, but I have to ask it.
Also our shooting in general is woeful. Summerville seems to be our only player who can kick the ball cleanly. What do they do every day in training?

10 Apr 2024 23:25:19
If we have a set piece coach, he must be on sick leave. Every element of our set play is really 2nd rate. From goal kicks to throw-ins, zero threat. Even last night as the game was nearing the end, we had a series of free-kicks and we were toothless with them. We didn’t even have the composure to hoof it up field and put it into the mixer.

On the other side, we have the most goals from open play and remarkably conceded the least from open play.

11 Apr 2024 03:06:50
C&J Gnonto can hit the ball clean.

11 Apr 2024 06:52:07
Gruev is also very handy with dead ball shots. Has only been allowed to take one, I believe?

11 Apr 2024 22:09:14
Not sure about that George. 6 minutes of added time, and it’s the 96th minute against Coventry on Saturday we got a corner, everyone up, including meslier (not really sure why he bothered) and little Willy couldn’t get it passed the first man on the post. Whereas Summerville is normally consistent on kicking the ball cleanly. I sometimes think Rutter has on welders boots with some of his efforts on goal. Watch this, he’s a cert to lash in a 30 yarder against Blackburn on Saturday now!
