I see that Dominic Cummins has booked a four-ball at Sleaford Golf Club on Tuesday 2nd June at 12.00noon.

He is taking the Pi**.

Football not politics plab.

Should the Championship get the go ahead to complete this season, which is looking more and more likely as each day passes. I’m now starting to think about our upcoming games and how we will fare in our games without our magnificent fans?
There’s one player that stands out in my mind that may come good after a fairly disappointing goal scoring season, that being Patrick Bamford.
Maybe, just maybe without the heavy expectation of the fervent Leeds fans in the ground he might feel under less pressure and find the net more often.
Here’s hoping 🤞.

Think the German league only had 3 home wins without the fans across all the matches played since the restart. Guess it will come down to who has the best players.

27 May 2020 20:58:57
Both good points. It may seem whacky, but should we go up, I think BamBam will relish the PL. a bit older, a bit wiser and all that. Plus, doesn’t Big Kev look lean now. He’s done a reet job getting fit in lockdown! That’s the commitment we need!
It’s going to be weird for all players, with no fans in the ground. Is there anything that says we can’t have “Marching on together” on loop over the tannoy?

I agree i think leeds fans are as big a berden as they are a benifit.

I have often said when leeds fans shout at fans for slagging players off as it might affect players that the constant chats of leeds going up, top of the league etc might be just as damaging to some of the players

I think bamford might do better without the crowds and think ethier way we are the best team so should win, in theroy no fans affects both teams as much so the outcome should be the same. shame we have already lost at the den this season as think the leeds players don't like my local lot and that could of been a belssing.

I also agree bright i think most of our team will fare better in the prem in some way. Our keeper is a great shot stopper but useless with high balls. Our defence can not defend high balls or set plays to save it's life, we also struggle against the more physical teams.

of cours the step up in quality will be harder but i think we are more suited to prem football than champsionship and hopefully that will be where we are next season.

George mate. You still with us?

27 May 2020 09:24:48
Yes Aus indeed .

I too occasionally wonder what has happened to 'The Ego Has Landed' that is Georgey Boy 😂🤣.

27 May 2020 10:47:28
Maybe cause he is more valuable than us less mortals he has locked himself down until this virus passes so he can takeover mankind and steer the world into a better and brighter future.

27 May 2020 16:13:07
The Premiership!

27 May 2020 17:20:40
Yeah! I thought the abuse to me had dropped off a cliff!
Where is the very old boy?

27 May 2020 17:21:32
Surely on a committee somewhere.

27 May 2020 17:13:58
Reading this Aus got me thinking of other names I remember from the dim and distant past, that I don't think have posted lately. So forgive me if you have posted this morning and I have clumsily missed you but I remember;
Speedy, Mad Mick, Spanish, Samo and BIGE who have not been on for a while. If anyone knows how they are please let us know. Also Red Hot Currie has been quiet since lockdown. Somebody tell him lockdown is only for travel and not for banter.
Soon up and running again hope we have all come through this unscathed. I know some of us are on the "vulnerable" scale so good luck to all those out there young and old, fit and feeble and let's soon look forward to a feast of football.

27 May 2020 21:00:39
Bang on Leodis, tho some went walkies before lockdown, and MM, rightly so, was here for footie bants.

28 May 2020 19:15:57
shut up brightwhite (hope that makes up in some small way for the abuse you have missed out on in george's absence)

28 May 2020 20:13:28
Lol Bermo! Thanks pal. Feel better now!

28 May 2020 22:32:38
your more than welcome, I like to be there for people in need.

Just a question. At what number of positive the virus tests do the EFL allow a game to be cancelled?

26 May 2020 11:46:28
Depends on the team 😃.

26 May 2020 06:37:43
If you look how strong Leeds have started the last 2 season under Bielsa, I'm confident as I can be that if the season restarts we can go on and finish the job.
It'll be like starting season with a 7 point lead and knowing only 9 game's to play we can go all out with hopefully a fully fit and fresh squad.

26 May 2020 08:00:15
I agree. We are fitter and do tend to start off reasonably good. But this is different set of circumstance and pretty much every team in the league can go all out for 9 games. I’m expecting if we do see football for a few surprises. I think more so than ever before the teams that think they are safe in mid table may have a surprise coming.
So we will also need not to take that 7 point gap for granted. I guarantee you both Fulham and Brom will believe they can take us out.

24 May 2020 13:50:56
I will be glad of promotion in any form, but to finish it on the pitch would be sweet just to shut the likes of Mr Warnock up. MOT.

24 May 2020 16:21:50
Indeed.

24 May 2020 20:11:01
We’re all talking like like it’s a guarantee we will go up, let’s calm down and take it one game at a time, last thing we want is overconfidence.

25 May 2020 11:23:57
You are right Taddy, all momentum and team spirit will have gone after the lay off. it will be like starting from scratch for all teams. the seven point cushion may well be crucial but there are no guarantees if the season plays out. We will have to wait and hope as always as Leeds fans. MOT.

25 May 2020 15:45:35
Not over confident after our history, just desperate to see us achieve it!

25 May 2020 17:21:08
Should never be overconfident, but with a 7 point start the opportunity is there. First 2 games are toughies though.

25 May 2020 20:14:37
Plus the Bielsa fitness regime could well play into our hands. After a nice rest there should be no burnout for a start.

26 May 2020 22:37:52
I don’t see it as being easy as we think it will be, all the clubs had the same time off and will be thinking the same as us, it could work against us to, let just play one game and the the go on from there.
