Southgate to manc - that would be a dream come true.

George Baldock dead at 31.

10 Oct 2024 12:14:26
Just shows what a fragile hold on life we have. I've had my 3 score years and 10 so every day's a bonus.

10 Oct 2024 12:45:21
Very true Sheds.

Absolutely shocking news - deepest condolences to his family.

10 Oct 2024 13:13:07
Agree. We on a winding path with no barriers. Sooner or later we fall. We should cherish every year month week day hour minute. But we don’t. And then all is left is. If only.

Baz Happy ☺️ birthday 🎂🎈! Just 49 like San Francisco. Enjoy your day.

09 Oct 2024 14:13:14
Cheers Georgey 🤣. I'll take 49 🤣. but it isn't my birthday.

09 Oct 2024 14:30:13
Happy Birthday Baz. Have a splendid day my Boy.

09 Oct 2024 14:58:59
Cheers ( anyway) Hooksie 🤗.

09 Oct 2024 15:15:00
Baz Was being facetious. It's Mark Viduka's birthday.

09 Oct 2024 16:04:20
Many happy returns Baz:) Pity there's no football to watch!

09 Oct 2024 16:18:28
Aha Georgey. so I see. Happy birthday to the supremely talented goalscorer Mr Mark Viduka 🤗

John Charles, Allan Clarke, Mick Jones, Duncan McKenzie, Tony Yeboah, Mark Viduka.

Lee Chapman, Rod Wallace, Jimmy Hasselbaink

My faves up front.

09 Oct 2024 16:58:36
Cheers Cleggy pal

Indeed . roll on Friday week . huge must win match vs Blades.

10 Oct 2024 06:28:15
I would expect to be top by November. All our games up to next international break are winnable. No excuses. Time to get up there and start to pull away.
No free agent purchases means they don’t think we need them. So. Show us.

Klopp has taken a role as global head of football at Red Bull.

He will be working in the background to assist red bull coaches.

Klopp to be next Leeds manager?

09 Oct 2024 13:23:22
Is Farke categorized as an "RB coach" in light of RB only currently being a minority investor?

09 Oct 2024 15:26:15
Currently a minority owner. Currently.

09 Oct 2024 08:53:43
I see Klopp has been appointed Global Head of ‘Soccer’ at Red Bull. Hopefully this will put an end to the ridiculous narrow RB football - though unfortunately way too late to have saved our Club from being blighted by that abomination.

09 Oct 2024 12:25:07
I didn't see this when I posted mine, not trying to steal your thunder 😂.

09 Oct 2024 14:39:22
What clue? Bedazzled.

09 Oct 2024 18:55:37
No worries MoT - there’s many a time when several folk post on the same ‘news’ within a short time period, with the second (and more sometimes) being submitted before Eds have had the time to clear the first.

Johan Neeskens RIP.

08 Oct 2024 05:09:46
Well said George…wow, that Dutch side of 74 and 78.

08 Oct 2024 09:14:35
Another sad loss in the world of football. Yet another one not making really old bones - 73 is no age at all these days.

08 Oct 2024 09:29:22
Warra player. RIP.

08 Oct 2024 10:04:16
Sad news, an excellent player. RIP.

08 Oct 2024 13:01:09
Back when the game had genuine passion,
That 78 final was 1 of the best,

What a CV player and what a team, transformative for how football was played, Cryuff took this style of football onto Barcelona and everyone has been trying to copy ever since.

08 Oct 2024 14:19:22
Enjoyed the individual talent of the players but not sure it was that good.

08 Oct 2024 19:17:07
It was for me,
The Argie - Peru game also.

08 Oct 2024 21:00:33
1974, Holland with Cryuff and the great Neeskens spelled the birth of the high press on the world’s footballing stage.

Hi Chaps, looking for some advice, myself and the missus want to bring my 7 year old daughter over to her first Leeds match, we will be travelling from Ireland, I get over at least once a year for a match but finding it more and more difficult to get my hands on tickets year after year, what is the best way to go about it, if I get us all memberships will we be a guaranteed a ticket, I've even looked at hospitality but I can't even get that for the Plymouth game, any pointers would be greatly appreciated👍.

07 Oct 2024 19:59:08
Membership doesn't guarantee you a ticket it just allows you the chance to buy one. I would say your best best is to contact a supporters group near you in Ireland as often these groups get tickets allocations and see if they have any spare. That's what I'd do initially as memberships are £65 per person (adult) so a lot of money for a one off. If you have the money hospitality might be an option alternatively.

07 Oct 2024 20:11:43
Membership would increase your chances, but only marginally to be honest, since you wouldn't qualify for Membership Priority which gives you a 24 hour head start over "new" members. I am away when the Plymouth game goes on sale and I also looked at hospitality as that is always on sale first, but as you say nothing available now.

Personally, I think you have a better chance nearer Christmas since, folks have other things to be doing and / or saving up for the games over Christmas. Your best chance of a guaranteed ticket is either hospitality direct from the club [for a later game], or you pay the cost of the third party sellers who charge €170 - 200 per ticket. I did it once, but have to say it is very expensive for what you get [I had a pie, a pint and priority odds for betting! ]

A long shot, if you have Sky is to join one of their ballots; I won one once [two actually, but the second one was for Arsenal! ].

07 Oct 2024 22:11:28
Membership helps, but even that doesn't often help, it's really luck of the draw. I have been a member for since day dot, and I really struggle, but I would say outside hospitality it's your only option unless you go to a ticket company. Good luck pal, might see you there if I can get one.

08 Oct 2024 09:35:58
Thanks lads, I appreciate the feedback, looks like I'll have to join the prawn sandwich brigade in hospitality, I suppose it's nice to be posh once in a while!

08 Oct 2024 10:06:00
Go for the cheapest Dec. More chance of mucky fat than prawns!

08 Oct 2024 13:06:31
You would be surprised the amount of tickets still available match day from tick office, also try Champions Travel they do good hospitality tickets, their actually in Ireland.

08 Oct 2024 15:12:52
Thanks lads, I'll eat the mucky fat if it gets me tickets! I'll check out out Champions Travel, it would be too big of a risk to wait for match day to try the ticket office after spending so much on the flights and accommodation but thanks anyway👍.

07 Oct 2024 14:27:10
Perhaps it would have been better keeping hold of Elia Caprile in 2022 - now doing well, as a stand in for injured Meret, for Conte’s Napoli atop Serie A, while we bump along in the Championship with Meslier.

07 Oct 2024 14:41:43
Indeed.

07 Oct 2024 15:19:13
Watched him a lot liked his potential, could save penalties.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing though.

07 Oct 2024 16:36:01
Its been 6 years, maybe longer still since LUFC had a 1st team goalkeeper who saved penalties.

07 Oct 2024 21:04:38
WS Not really hindsight. If recruiting team good enough to spot his talent, perhaps should've been given a chance and an extended contract. He arrived highly regarded.
