Just been on LUFC web site (still crap) but is that girl interviewing Eddie Gray, Emma, George?

If so can you set another quiz with the prize the same as last time.

It was an evening out with her was it not?

It would make an old man very, very, very happy. That is if it didn't kill me.

Mind, what a way to die!

If she was a blonde version of the painting in “allo, allo” as in the fallen Madonna with the big b00bies, then yep, that would’ve been Emma. She’s a very good reporter, and journalist.

I’ve only got two things to say to that!

18 Jan 2019 23:19:18
She was. She was.

Never mind the reporter and journalist part.

The rest will do for me.

Come on George, get the quiz up and running.

Please.

Tewi She is rather nice. I always like to visit LUTV and the website to keep abreast of what's going on 😁. Her job interview must've been real short. You're hired! Can you start today?

As for another quiz, when something leaps to mind I'll post. I wonder if any of the players have tried to date her. It's a miracle we're top because I'd get distracted. She must've come up once or twice in dressing room banter.

19 Jan 2019 09:35:25
Maybe the Player of the Year will get a date with her, an explanation for our good form or what!

George, something definitely comes up when I think about her!
Ooh err missus! 😂😍🍌.

If I was AR and Orta I would be pushing hard to tie up any incoming transfers this window. Just in case the EFL decide to hit us with an embargo.
Don't think they will but wouldn't put anything past them.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

18 Jan 2019 21:47:00
Incoming transfer I think! Trouble is, the only way you can do that is pay the first price you’re offered or close to it. I suspect there is a bit of haggling going on!

Agree1 Disagree0

18 Jan 2019 23:01:39
Have I missed something? Why would we face a transfer ban? Our finances are in order and we haven't approached anyone illegally? All we have is a guy, stood at a fence, watching a team train around cones next to a public footpath.

19 Jan 2019 00:55:54
Bright, you’ve not been paying attention, he was dressed in full camouflage gear, carrying weapons of mass destruction.
Furthermore He was found in Fat franks office hiding in the filing cabinet having drilled a hole in the side so he could watch the great management guro in action contemplating his strategy for the game by gleaning ideas from the 1979 Roy of the Rovers annual given to him by his Uncle!

I’m sure that’s what they said on Sky!

Agree3 Disagree0

19 Jan 2019 01:22:19
And he had written a secret message that could only be read by MB using his special decoder ring of which only one now remains in existence as that particular cereal has been discontinued.

Agree1 Disagree0

19 Jan 2019 05:49:56
Funny Spanish.
I can’t believe derby have given him an office.
Don’t you need to be able to read and write and like think for one of those.
Give him a bench with room for his roy of the rovers and that will do.

19 Jan 2019 09:20:43
It was decent the 1979 album.

Agree0 Disagree0

18 Jan 2019 20:10:26
If we haven't broken any rules why should we get any penalty?
Surly it should be a slap on the wrist and don't do it again and then implement a new ruling.

{Ed025's Note - sounds fair to me mate..

18 Jan 2019 19:59:26
The point a lot of the pundits, and FF specifically, are missing out is that Bielsa's genius doesn't lie in the collation of the information for analysis. Anyone can replicate this if they throw enough man hours at it. The key, and the difference Bub brings to the table, is knowing what to do with it.
FF confronted with this depth of detail would immediately suffer from paralysis by analysis Bielsa, on the other hand, knows how to separate the wheat from the chaff He has the ability to break down hour upon hour of tedious football viewing into 15 minute bite sized chunks the players can understand and integrate into their own individual match day game plans
If FF could comprehend this he would realise that someone looking in on a training run is no big deal. Instead he thinks having information magically makes it useable. It doesn't. The reason other managers don't go to the same lengths of analysis as Bub is because they can't utilise it all. The reason Bielsa does is because he can.

Sly sports are to blame for a lot of this. Their stirring the couldren by asking everyone who they interview their opinion on it. I'm sick of hearing from all these self appointed morality inspectors because their a so squeaky clean and never done anything wrong. Heard Keith the children's presenter andrews has changed his mind on leeds now and says he actually likes us now. TURNCOAT.

18 Jan 2019 23:10:00
Agree Martyn, and great opening post too Kiwi!
Sky are just playing the marketing game! We’ve been on their channels more than 90% of teams in the PL! We are their cash cow, and they are playing a game aimed at making more money for themselves. What is more disgusting, is that most of the money they make from us is ploughed into the PL teams! But what do the FA do? Investigate a man at a fence on a path, while their pockets get lined by corporate cash from an organisation that doesn’t give a plop for the game, just profit. But hey, that’s business.

Agree1 Disagree0

19 Jan 2019 00:08:06
Cash cow? Not quite sure about that one as yet Bright.

Agree0 Disagree0

19 Jan 2019 02:04:25
He's right Corky, we're on S*y more than about any other team in the country and last season ended up with £7.6M whereas PL failures got relegated with over £95M so from that point of view, and bearing in mind Leeds attract over 400,000 viewers, we are a cash cow for them.

Agree2 Disagree0

19 Jan 2019 21:14:06
Sorry Corky. Cash cow is a phrase used for businesses who milk profits from something particular, in this case, sky milk Leeds, us. 👍🏻.

Scouting opposition pre match or fixture, is the term that should be used. Media sensationalism using the term "spy" instead of Scouting. Don't forget Bub is new to this country so is trying to get up to speed with all the opposition players teams grounds etc. Has he broken an unknown rule of etiquette? doubt it as they all do it! FF just wanted to try and play some mind games with the help of his media friends going into the game, trying to upset our camp. Of course as its something different, the celebrity ex footballers want to piggy back on this to get in the lime light and then the other clubs want to see if they can profit from it in any way.

Believable2 Unbelievable0

18 Jan 2019 19:40:45
It backfired big time on FF, and as well as schooling him in being a coach, MB has schooled him in mind games too! Hilarious!

Agree1 Disagree0

18 Jan 2019 16:54:21
Stoke manager said he would welcome bielsa to the training ground and watch them train .
Funny u have banana throwing incidents and Liverpool fans last season throwing rocks at the Man City team bus etc and I don't remember one pundit getting as triggered as what happened with us? So attacking team bus or throwing bananas at players isn't worthy of a points deduction, but some scout outside a training ground is the worst crime of the century.

Believable6 Unbelievable0

18 Jan 2019 17:33:08
It is hard to believe that some people are getting so worked up about it. Are they hoping they can influence the FA and EFL into giving us a point deduction for doing something that hasn't even broken any rules? The over reaction to it all is becoming a joke.

Agree2 Disagree0

18 Jan 2019 18:28:33
Because any time there's an opportunity to hate on Leeds, it's taken yet our fans are greatest in the land.

18 Jan 2019 18:35:37
Don't you think that all the fuss has to do with Bub not being English? Look at Shilton, when he was told that Bub's Argentinian and not Italian he said is he? that's even worse!

Wasn’t Rodney Marsh sacked from Sky for similar remarks as Shilton?

Cork What Marsh said was worse as it involved many deaths. Newcastle fans and a tsunami.

18 Jan 2019 17:04:21
So now Bristol City owner Steve Lansdown wants us to be given a points deduction. Doesn't he realise we haven't actually broken any rules.

Believable2 Unbelievable0

18 Jan 2019 17:27:19
We havent, Bristol city got one of their staff on the EFL board though so anything is possible. Maybe a fine but no law broken so would be hard to sanction a points deduction.

Because Bristol City don't have a vested interest.

18 Jan 2019 19:43:27
Total AL. Anything but a warning would be more criminal. No doubt the EFL will wait until about March to announce any ruling tho, just to cause maximum disruption. They haven’t even put a timescale on it, which is a total joke!

Agree0 Disagree0

18 Jan 2019 21:37:33
It's already taken too long, he either sent a scout or he didn't, and either he broke a rule or he didn't.

Agree0 Disagree0

18 Jan 2019 15:25:07
The seat next to me, front and centre North Stand, isn't used by a ST holder so I suggest that Radz offers it to Collymore, Jenas, Keown etc till the end of the season
That might keep them quiet 🤕😷.

You won't be chuckling in a minute chaps. I have just read that we are going up against Derby for Ashley Cole - WTF? The same site says that Bournemouth have been working on a bid for Clarke today. They say that FF being at Derby might sway Cole, though so might our league position. I hope FF wins this one.

I still don't like this so called spying (I call it doing your homework on the opposition) . They will surely be attempting to dock us as many points as they can get away with. I hope the club fight it as far as they can. Remember the debacle with West ham and dicanio all those years ago. West ham just kept the court cases going until the start of the new season and the FL had to let them stay up. any way. Great performances let's hope we keep our points and our Manager. MoT.

Fred. In the words of paul Emerson this morning. " How can you punish someone for not breaking any rules or any laws? " If they don't want it to happen again then they will have to bring a rule in to stop it but you can't make a rule and then punish someone for breaking it before it existed.

Steady on Martyn, you're sounding sensible, it IS the FL and the FA that we're talking about.
