Leeds Banter

I heard through grapevine that bubs delivered a fairly heavy tongue -lashing to Radz about state of pitch, hence the very swift response trying to remedy the surface

Why have we still struggled for so long with surface? Brighton game was embarrassment to see state of pitch.

22 Jan 2021 19:21:08
Sounds very plausible indeed that Bielsa would do so as tbe pitch was seemingly becoming a considerable hindrance to Leeds players Bielsaball.
I guess Radz would have been more than happy to oblige, £300 K a modest enough outlay on something so important as EPL points accumulation.

Hi guys, not football related sorry. So today I get the dreaded news that I've got a positive c.v. result, only got a slight dry throat but generally feeling ok. wondering how many of you been through it?

22 Jan 2021 18:44:30
Had cv the beginning of last March after returning from Lake Como in Lombardy Italy.
Ended up in hospital, it was a bizarre experience and not one I’d want to repeat.
It started with fever then coughing, pain in
lungs and intense fatigue. Lasted for about 6 weeks.
Don’t worry Mezz, most folks have mild symptoms, if you start with fever then intense fatigue at the beginning you may be in for a rough ride, but I’ve heard so many variations it’s hard to tell.
Best of luck mate, I’m sure you’ll be fine, just concentrate on Leeds thrashing Newcastle 5-0
MOT.

Me 3, I had it back in October, high fever for about 3 days then sore throat, about 5 days I'm I became very chesty, that spooked me a little as I was thinking here it goes down into my lungs, but it passed, I had no taste it smell for about 4 weeks after which was head melting, hope you be ok pal 👍👍👍.

22 Jan 2021 19:06:41
Cheers fellas, been supporting people in the community since this c.v. first started so I guess was only a matter of time until I got it. More annoyed that since starting this job this will be the first days sick I've had to take in 9 years.

22 Jan 2021 19:24:09
Sorry to hear that Mezzer, and for the other guys that have been through it, silly to assume the size of the group on here that people wouldn’t be affected.

All the best Mezzer hope things go as well as they can in these situations and as OP said a positive run of results provides a much needed tonic.

MOT.

22 Jan 2021 19:26:13
Wishing you a speedy recovery Mezzer.
And very good that OP and Chris have recovered.
Stay safe fellas.

22 Jan 2021 20:31:01
Lady next door to me, 70 years old, tested positive, but only had a cough and had no other symptoms and no after effects. Hopefully you will be fine Mezzer.

Still so many pundits and media personnel claiming that the Leeds players will hit a burnout period in the second half of this season due to the high intensity pressing.
Leeds went through a 46 game season before with no burnout, ok there was a pause due to c.v. as Ms. Carney and others have highlighted, but I have listened to interviews with Ayling and Bamford both denying they or the squad suffered from excessive fatigue.
I think Bielsa had some problems with players suffering from excessive fatigue at Lille and Marseille, i imagine this was more to do with the French players not wanting to push themselves too far with the heavy training regimes. Lazy gets!

22 Jan 2021 19:30:02
The best answer to these 'pundits ' nonsense will be for the lads to prove it on the pitch.

I don't think there will be any burnout at all from the Leeds players.

22 Jan 2021 18:05:51
Good summary Ed001 strange to see Liverpool struggling even stranger to hear fans criticism after 67 odd games unbeaten at home. Seems to be lit more immediacy with fans looking for someone to criticise or a designated scapegoat these days.

Do you think it’s a blip or something moreEd and please, if you’re not using James Milner can we borrow him please?

{Ed001's Note - looks to be just a blip, too many changes due to the injuries meaning the team hasn't been settled, unlike last season. I hope we come good, but these things can become more if they are not arrested!

Millie still plays regularly, this season he is not getting as much time simply because the games come so thick and fast and he needs more time to recover than before. Plus he has had injuries which have meant the club are being careful with him. I always thought he would return to Leeds, he has always said he would like to.}

22 Jan 2021 19:17:45
Thanks Ed be great to have Millie wear the shirt again before he stops playing.

{Ed001's Note - I think it would be a nice story for him to return, so long as he is still capable of contributing when he does!}

Liverpool have to beat Man Utd this weekend or they could be unstoppable.
Remember Fergus 90 min from sack. Then bam!
Walk all on Leeds walk are on Leeds.

22 Jan 2021 14:45:18
True. Man U need something to sap their confidence or I fear the worst. What a difference a couple of months makes - it was all Ole out in Oct.

22 Jan 2021 16:47:04
Man U are in a good position but their performances I believe are not that great.
Only half way through the season, still think it’s Liverpool or Man City for the title, would be Liverpool’s already if they weren’t ravaged by injuries They definitely need Jota back, good goal source.

22 Jan 2021 20:55:53
Performances have been bang average, very lucky with some results, very lucky with injuries, and as for the penalties say no more.

22 Jan 2021 11:01:05
Bit more news on the goings on at ER. We have been ordered by the PL to put down AstroTurf on the steps that away teams use to get to the pitch from the temporary dressing room.

For the pitch, A 300k investment has been made on a hybrid turf system called 'HTPro', a hybrid carpet reinforced turf system, produced as a partnership between Tillers Turf and Hewitt Sportsturf, who say the surface is an 'extreme high quality cultivated carpet-based turf, nursery grown on specially prepared nursery field plots designed to provide the best growing conditions. '

22 Jan 2021 11:15:35
Blimey Alf, do you have shares in Tillers turf?

Or are you now rivalling or ER-Bard (Bermo) for the verbosity of your postings?

Either way I have called my stockbroker to buy up all the remaining shares in that company (investments can go down as well as up) .

22 Jan 2021 11:38:29
In my humble opinion this might just be the best investment we will make in January!
I know people will say it’s the same for both sides but I really think the pitch has had massive drain on our confidence in recent weeks!
In the Brighton game so many passes either over hit or behind the player! Bamford said the players were moaning after the game and these things soon start to affect confidence!
Hopefully get a decent surface down and let’s start pinging it around again!

22 Jan 2021 12:26:42
They’ve missed an opportunity here not selling off the old one, imagine turfing a patch of your garden with some of that hallowed turf.

22 Jan 2021 13:37:10
Yes please

And in my case, with my touch of a donkey (apologies to any donkeys reading) the state of it won't affect my passing game one bit.

22 Jan 2021 13:50:06
Don’t think it was good enough to roll up, class
New one was being grown for Spurs for future use!
Someone on Twitter asked if it comes with bus tyre tracks around the penalty area 😂.

22 Jan 2021 13:56:18
That’s excellent DSW! 😀.

22 Jan 2021 14:16:20
Was it pitch or walk to pitch?

22 Jan 2021 14:48:24
I copied and pasted it from elsewhere!

I totally agree. The pitch has been causing us major problems which is one reason why we are doing either away from home than at home I think so should make a massive difference. Yes its the same for both teams but some teams don't play it on the deck and so it doesn't make much difference them but makes a huge difference to us and Bielsaball.

22 Jan 2021 10:33:39
Really sad news yesterday
Cardiff sack Harris
😂😂😂😂😂.

22 Jan 2021 11:49:26
