It would be nice to still be top, but I think tonight's result was a good one for us. Surely West Brom beating teams in around the top six gives us a better chance of finishing in the top two?
After all, when QSI take us over and we win the Champions League in three years time, nobody will care if we finished first or second! 😜.

Still Sickens me Danum when they blatantly dive to win and you just know they won’t get investigated for it.

03 Dec 2019 09:49:21
Make a good point though Danum and one I hadn’t considered. I was fighting the chip on my shoulder all last night asking why we never seem to be treated equally?

Not helped by another forum highlighting the PNE keeper not even booked let alone sent off as last man, number of people citing ‘double jeopardy rule’ in that penalty considered punishment enough.

Then one eagle eyed Leeds supporter asked why that didn’t apply to Berardi’s sending off at Wall?

Chips on both shoulders now!

Class The question you pose I've answered multiple times on this site.

03 Dec 2019 11:36:45
Its Fulham we need to drop points. Brom did not deserve the pen but that's how it goes, poor ref as did not even book goalie. Will the dive be looked at, doubt it.

i don't care if first or second I just can't not take another playoffs. it will push me over the edge and leave me caling for nurse ratchet.

Know what you mean Berm. Didn't tell you guys til now but I lost Mrs Integrity because of the playoffs and by that I mean we split up. Something to do with LUFC being more important than her mother dying.

So what was her problem george? Some women are so sensitive.

03 Dec 2019 16:44:52
make you right geogre

as i always tell my wife and kids, i have loved leeds for longer and will only ever have one team, i can get remarried and have other children.

03 Dec 2019 18:00:19
Georgie that’s classic love you bro.

03 Dec 2019 18:46:07
Thanks guys 💛💙.

04 Dec 2019 13:07:38
Sorry to hear George.

Bamford reminds me in a way of Alan Smith. And I'm pretty sure some will mention his goal record as the similarity. But to me it's his overall team play. Works extremely hard, runs the channels, links up the play and seems to love putting on the White shirt.
When my phone beeped on Saturday that a goal was scored for Leeds I literally waited and hoped it was Paddy.

03 Dec 2019 07:57:17
Corky. I had great confidence in bam bam to score on Saturday. I was at the game and put £20 on pat to score 1st goal and us to be winning half time full time. So win £120 on my trip over. Saying that, I spent a great deal
More in the city eating out and drinking a fare share off pints. Had a great week end and hoping too get over again for the Huddersfield game. Would take another 4-0 win. ⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️👍👍.

Nice to click a bet when at a match as it is expensive traveling over taking everything in to account. A win makes it all worth while🍺.

02 Dec 2019 20:42:00
Arsenal away.
I’m loving that.
Remember when we had about 6 replays in the early 90’s I think. 🤪.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEN WHITE!

Definitely was our birthday to get this guy on loan, for me, player of the season to date, and our most consistent and dare I say valuable player we have!

A Brighton season ticket holder (walks his dog behind the Amex! ) son is in the youth team says they will leave him with us all season with a view to integrate them next season.

Thank god! For me Ben is already streets ahead of Lewis Dunk, think we should all send him bags of cotton wool in which to wrap himself.

02 Dec 2019 21:13:03
Thought it was Kal and Batty’s Birthday today! Not Ben White?

02 Dec 2019 21:18:55
Ha ha you’re right Bright, oh well my unbridled adoration for the guy remains unchanged 22 in November! 22 I’ve got clothes older than that.

Excellent win although given the state of Middlesborough at the moment it was our best chance of racking up the goals. I think, looking at the teams in the top half the Championship, it's a three horse race for automatic promotion. It's Leeds, West Brom. and Fulham. Preston will fall away. West Brom will stay the distance and I hope (with a bit of confidence) that we don't have our usual New Year collapse. I can't see any of the others doing much. Fulham seem to be the ones to watch - hope they don't do a Sheffield on us.

And so after a season's best performance and five straight wins all Leeds fans once again start daring to dream . To dream that we really are automatic promotion candidates . That Bamford has finally found his scoring boots, as has Klich! That Costa really is a £15 m player , Harrison a consistent performer, and that everything in the Leeds garden is rosy . That the sunny uplands of Premier league football really do await us next season .
But wait a minute, this is Leeds we are talking about and with the Leeds we all know and love potential disappointment lurks behind every corner . So personally as a sanity preservation method largely, I prefer to dwell on the negatives and that will probably only change once we are mathematically up . So yes I worry how we will cope without KP against the dog botherers, when Bamford will miss his next gilt edged chance and Harrison fail to beat the first man . When Eddie will be recalled by Arsenal or even Ben by Brighton god forbid . How long Kiko's ban will be and who will replace him . And finally how we will deal with our annual January window cock up . And in this way my brothers, I keep myself grounded and should the worst happen won't want to shoot myself!

02 Dec 2019 09:31:09
Yes, but also let's not forget how far we have come.
It was not that long ago we were loosing to non league teams in FA Cup.
While we had a couple of bad owners that words cannot describe.
Hope for the best, be prepared for the worst!

02 Dec 2019 10:24:14
i hate it I have gone from writing the season off which i am comfortable with to starting to think we might go up. my heart can't handle it.

02 Dec 2019 10:34:40
Lady and Gentlemen, the hot tub of hope has been re-inflated.

02 Dec 2019 10:49:35
It’s a worry eh? ☹️
Hoping but not believing.

02 Dec 2019 12:27:12
Berm You could be consuming lashings of humble pie and will no longer be able to call self the "orical". Even I predicted at the start of the season we'd finish 2nd.
