I’m in a good mood so.
Geordies ready with £30 swoop for Bamford in January says man close to Steve Bruce
“We’d rather have Bambam than that fella they just paid £35m for “ says source close to Bielsa
You’ve been mugged off Newcastle.

Isn't 30 quid dirt cheap even for Paddy? Radz don't know how to sell and achieve top price but he ain't that bad.
17 Aug 2019 20:27:20
Berm Check this out from championship stats. The entire Wigan team minus their goalkeeper who doesn't really count for this sort of stat anyway completed only 70 successful passes over the 90 minutes today. KP managed 71 successful passes just on his own. #YorkshirePirlo #Tattoosoon 💛💙💛💙.

Said it a week ago and going to say it again. If Hernandez if having an off day but we are still 2-0 up why not take him off and rest him we know he can’t last a full season and would give Bogusz or Nketiah a chance to get up to speed. Going to come back and bite our a***s later in the season. Bielsa is god and awesome to be top but jeez I wish he could use his subs more effectively.
17 Aug 2019 20:30:07
He won’t play the cup games and Costa coming on for Klich changes his position. To be fair it’s still early in the season and he’s still finding his consistency.
17 Aug 2019 19:05:00
Great start to season . Well happy bamford scored. Just realised Clarke wasn't in squad because we only allowed 5 loans in match day squad . Can't help thinking the loan of meslier is a waste of a squad position when we have 2 capable young keepers should we need them . Seems a shame that Clarke misses out because of that.
17 Aug 2019 19:12:02
I just also realised this point has already been discussed but It needs to be said.
17 Aug 2019 19:14:27
Bielsa was probably assuming that at least 1 of the six would be injured each game!
17 Aug 2019 19:34:39
Think the Eddie loan was all that was on offer once Roofe went, hence 6 loanies, TBH and IMO, not that arsed about Clarke not our best wide option.
17 Aug 2019 20:15:22
It’s a serious point about the injuries, as the season gets going, I wonder how often all 6 will be available. If they are and we keep on having to drop one, it will therefore be a good problem to have.
17 Aug 2019 19:14:24
Question for an Ed, wonder if there's scope within rules to buy Helder earlier in order to accommodate? Or would we then be prone to potential FFP criticism?
{Ed002's Note - In order to accommodate what?}
17 Aug 2019 21:16:55
Ed002 Clarke in the matchday 18.
{Ed002's Note - I have no idea what you are talking about.}
17 Aug 2019 18:03:05
Getting sick of the same people posting negative post just for the sake of it. Playing devil's advocate all the time. Gets boring.
17 Aug 2019 18:07:40
The answer is don’t read it, it’s not just a site for positive post just in case you don’t know that,
17 Aug 2019 18:17:42
I'm all for banter and meaningful discussions but this goes beyond that. I'm sure they just post sh1t just to go against the grain and rile people up. I love coming here to read everyone ones perspective on Leeds it's good to see what people think even if it's different to your own just can't do with the BS posts just to annoy others.
{Ed047's Note - to be fair it must be depressing being bottom of the league with zero points. 🤷♂️
17 Aug 2019 18:41:03
I don’t think anyone is out to annoy others on this site it just the way they see it and there option, you may disagree that your choice, we are all Leeds fan, we see things in different ways . As for Me I don’t care to much for our owners that my opinion and my choice, you may love the ground he walks on that your choice, just don’t let it worry you self,
17 Aug 2019 19:07:45
Ahh As long as the banter is not offensive then I don't see what the problem is, we are sometimes going to disagree that's life.
I happen to agree with Whiteman, but another day I may not .
Think the problem most of us have was with the end of last season, but again that's history now.
17 Aug 2019 19:27:39
dogwise agree mate.
17 Aug 2019 20:08:51
Some people might get annoyed at the positive posters one get annoyed at the negative. Me I like to read all opinions positive, negative or somewhere in the middle.
17 Aug 2019 20:34:07
Here's something every Leeds fan can be optimistic about. Clean sheet Casilla 💛💙💛💙.
17 Aug 2019 18:01:51
Very happy with squad, we are stronger in depth than last season in terms of attacking. Really happy we are top of the league.
What disappoints me is we are not scoring more goals, even on today's performance we were not fully at the races but showed we can still dominate and win. If I didn't know better I would start to believe MB has the team drilled not to shoot on goal until every twenty passes have been completed!
This is my only gripe of our team and I worry it will be our undoing again if we don't quickly get into the habit of killing teams off.
Onwards and upwards.
17 Aug 2019 18:42:14
iBook yes a win is a win don’t matter about anything else .
17 Aug 2019 20:15:44
I dunno it’s hard to break teams down sometimes when they shut up shop particularly with 10 men. I’m happy enough with that result especially after what happened last season.
17 Aug 2019 17:57:05
Don’t care if game was bad don’t care if Wigan had ten men or are poor all that matters is three points
Clean sheet and bam bam goals a real bonus happy weekend mot.
17 Aug 2019 18:19:42
Someone hacked Bermo . 😂😂😂
Well said Bermo. Or whoever is masquerading as you. Lol. ⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️
3 points is exactly all we want.
17 Aug 2019 18:21:22
Fair post Bermo, didn’t think it was that bad actually, played a lot of good football again, still not totally falling into place and pablo did have a bad day, but we won it. Their red card still didn’t stop them threatening with corners and set pieces and all of those provide good practice for the defence.
Bam bam in the right place at the right time and showed a bit of old fashioned centre forward aggression in bundling the ball over the line with gk and 2 defenders trying to stop him. 2 goals are 2 goals. 1 a game average so far this season.
Harrison, running hard at defenders and taking them on and growing in confidence.
Foreshaw seems to have been dusted with Bielsa magic dust this summer, aggressive tackling, sometimes too much, 3 yellows so far, but appearing all over the pitch and might even get a goal soon!
Pablo had an off day, but what Bielsa wanted was to be able to win without depending on him and we did.
The Spanish comparative performance indicator has us on the same points total in the same games as last year but with a good of plus 3 better than year. Next up two games which we lost last year!
17 Aug 2019 18:33:04
Goal difference of 3 better!
17 Aug 2019 19:39:21
And of course it should say next two games up, games where we only got 1 point from 6 last year!
17 Aug 2019 20:16:39
Bermo has always said he wants the team to win ugly or otherwise.
17 Aug 2019 20:49:03
Bermo just wants to win, can’t fault him.
17 Aug 2019 17:24:48
That was an awful football match!
But as we know its about 3pts and we take them away. We will play better and only draw. What worries me is that if Pablo doesn't tick, Leeds don't tick. He was v poor today and we didn't seem to have any guile or creativity from anywhere else. I would also be pissed off upfront as the amount of times Douglas and Harrison could cross and then chose to go inside was just ridiculous. Stop walking it in guys! Harrison was dire. Ref made some strange decisions so it was a stop start game. Think MB could have made subs a bit earlier. Chuffed for Bambam. So as I say not a lot to shout about, just the fact we got the points which obviously I will take every game. I think this squad probably hasn't found its main starting xi yet as players to come in. Bring on Pontus and his gang now midweek. MOT.
17 Aug 2019 17:52:43
By the way you’re talking it’s almost like we bloody lost mate😂😂😂. Bam Bam right place right time with both his goals, Harrison taking players on and watch a touch he has. Forshaw my man of the match, bosses midfield!
MOT.
17 Aug 2019 17:02:20
Forshaw MOM.
Happy for Bam Bam.
Sometimes wish we would take a pot at goal sooner rather than trying to work to the 6 yd box.
MOT.
