Was at the game today and besides the red cards we played like gods. We had all the ball and shut off there attacks. The only thing that we need desperately is a good goal scorer who can score 20+ a season. We couldn't get the ball in the back of the net but we sure as hell could have won by 3+ if we had a decent goal scorer.

Not much needed in summer just
A winger or 2
A striker
Maybe a tall strong CB

Play like that next season and with a bit of luck we easy get top 6. Brighton were really poor against 10 men.

Yeah we played well but brown on and we lose again, what is this unlucky omen with brown?

Agree0 Disagree0

Brown captained us against tottenham probably our best performance and result of the season, just saying

Bristol city's adomah might be worth a shout and sako from wolves as they both should be cheap following relegation

Agree0 Disagree0

Can't see McCarthy happening at all but the rest could be possibilities

Agree0 Disagree0

I think sako is on loan there? so his parent club might want to keep hold of him

You have to feel sorry for wolves.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Rather them than us. would they be sorry for us?

Agree0 Disagree0

Yeah deverstated, who felt sorry for us!

Agree0 Disagree0

Even though there are some fans that seem to hate everybody just because they think they might not have sympathy for us, I certainly have sympathy for Wolves. We know what it's like to be in League One, playing terrible football against terrible teams. I wouldn't wish that on any set of half-decent fans.

Agree0 Disagree0

I'm a Leeds fan who lives in wolves! Went to wolves game today as couldn't get to elland road! Everyone talks about our fans! There's are a vile vandalising the stand, no support to the team! Don't feel sorry for them, they never did to us when we were relegated! Wolves fans hate Leeds, probably jealous! I say good riddance, let's see them go into financial meltdown! What comes around goes around!

Agree0 Disagree0

Are you serious?i work in the centre of that hell hole and believe me the abuse I had when they were in the premiership was awful!even though we've not gone up after their season, i'm still ecstatic to see their fans in desperation and in tears. I have nothing against the team as a whole, but i'm loving what's happening to their fans now. what goes around comes around I say!

Sky****** saying Austin was sent off for 'appearing to aggressively cut across the front of Ashley Barnes'. Still baffles me

From where I was sat I thought barnes seemed to run into the back of Austin therefore the free kick should have been ours,,,,, kj

Fans keep banging on about Ken Bates what more did you expect from a man that once stated publicly that if it was the last thing he ever did he would do all he could to destroy Leeds United, well I think he has done all he could to make us suffer and if GFH had not stepped in when they did he would carry on for filing his promise from years ago, a man like Bates does not forget the way he hated us during his Chelsea days and has done all he can to bring us down as he promised he would. And now he is going to be a figure head of our club and treated like a god by all the staff at Leeds United with all the benefits that brings, to me he has crapped on us from a great hight and still hasn't wiped his ass yet, I just hope GFH make all the financial choices for our club with the real aim of making us great once again, heres hoping.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Give it a rest for gods sake

Agree0 Disagree0

Don't know where you are coming from, Bates will NEVER destroy Leeds, but I won't ever come back to Elland Road untill he has GONE!

He has done NOTHING whatsoever to justify his self appointment of president, and although I am Leeds through and through I will not condone his being a part of this club EVER.

There are absolutely THOUSANDS of people who feel the same way otherwise we would have a full ground every week.

You do what you feel is right, I for one love Leeds but if the only way we can get Bates out of this club is to stay away (and let's face iot how else are we going to do it?) then so be it.

We will still be here, as will Leeds, long after Bates has parted this world.

Bates as president TOTALLY DEGRADES ALL OF OUR PREVIOUS PRESIDENTS, most of whom have been decent genuine people without any financial interest in the club whasoever.

Bates is a leech, full stop

Agree0 Disagree0

We will never truly be 'United' again untill Bates has finally gone.

Come the day of judgement

hopefully sooner rather than later.

Explain why we were promoted from League 1 then. Much as I hate Bates and Warnock (I used to be in an anti-Warnock minority of one last year on this site), all these conspiracy theories are just drivel.

By football standards Bates was not a wealthy man when he acquired the club. Neither he nor Warnock had anything to gain from destroying Leeds.

Moreover, it's all in the past now so why even bother posting this

Agree0 Disagree0

It's absolute nonsense to stay away from ER because Bates is president. All you are doing is depriving the team of support and money. Bates no longer owns any part of the club, he also doesn't even get paid a wage as life president. He can't leech anything more from the club the only reason he has stayed as president is a big two fingers to the fans who wanted him to have nothing to do with the club. Now though he is just hanging around and has no say at all

Watching live text of the game
Said austin sent off for fighting. Was he fighting himself as only he was sent kff and I thought a fight involved 2+?
Said also that mccorm and diouf missed about 3 shots each in first half? If true, it is a bad habit tvey both have. I would expect 1 goal in 6 attempts! Not prolific enough even if mccorm tweets he is!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

If Mac didn't know the size of the task in rebuilding the team he does now, I don't subscribe to Warnocks bo--ocks that were only a couple of players short, we've had trouble scoring all season, the amount of chances we've missed game after game is shocking, the goals we've conceded in the final few minutes is also shocking, If Mac isn't looking at at least 5 players Ill be disappointed, let's hope GFH are true to their word and give him the funds to bring quality players in, will look forward to next season with hopefully a team that plays good football and is hard to beatgood luck Mac.

Agree0 Disagree0

Fact is that in the Championship and the lower leagues, chances come about quite often and 99% of championship players miss quite a few chances. Look at Beckford in League One, he missed bucket loads and he still does for Huddersfield but he still scores plenty too. You will be hard pressed to find a Defoe type player who scores nearly all their chances in this division that actually contributes to the rest of our game too.

Oh dear poor Becchio
Dropped from the first team, then dropped from the bench a while bac. He is falling well down the pecking order at carrow road.
Rumour has it he has a new coach now and has cheered up- he can do a wonderful egg souffl� now!

Ken bates last day! Let's give him a good send off ( NOT ) the fxxxxxg old pxxxk. Mot without the old pxxxk.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

And exactly where do you think he is going then?

Yet another misguided soul, obviously?

He has appointed himself president of the club, how does that equate to him leaving then?

Agree0 Disagree0

And what exactly is he going to do as President? It's just a title, he has no control, no say and will not be around that much if at all. Will everyone get over the Bates thing and look to supporting the mighty whites next season regardless.

Agree0 Disagree0

Bates is powerless as President. He won't even be at ER much, it's just a two fingers to the fans. Chill.

According to a piece by Hay in the YEP, Papa Smurf appears to have left a legacy of debt, which will take a few years longer than expected to pay off (add to that the rents of t. a and e. r)It makes gfh's job that little bit harder!I hope they get the relevant investors, and keep a reasonable amount of transparency in regards to the finances!It would make a refreshing change!
