So Leeds win on Friday, then Hull beat Ipswich on Saturday then Ipswich draw at Coventry next mid week, then we are up! Simples! Then we can all have a nice final Saturday of the season with no need to worry and just enjoy the glorious weather and the beautiful football at Elland Road, I mean if only Carlsburg made EFL matches eh? lol 😂 😂😂🙏🙏.

24 Apr 2024 19:37:40
Lol smashin Woody, see my post in discussion! UTWDTP x.

24 Apr 2024 00:54:31
So Leicester will win league, between us an ipswich now as saints GD huge.
Still think Hull and Coventry are dangerous and can cause issues but we have to win QPR game.
Think saints may rest a few for our last game as going into play offs.

24 Apr 2024 04:16:56
First of all on Friday vs QPR:

1) Leeds MUST stop giving away goals, cheap goals at that!

2) Leeds score early please!

IF Leeds win game pressure on Ipswich is huge.

24 Apr 2024 08:15:52
Well looks like Southampton saving then selfs for us.

24 Apr 2024 09:26:03
No DJ on Friday. JA get the opportunity to impress as sub then.

24 Apr 2024 09:42:43
In the 85 min prob bright.
If we end up in the playoffs are our loan players available to us?
Not that we would play them. Just wondering if a season loan ends when the team that loaned them for example Middlesbrough’s season ends?

24 Apr 2024 10:30:35
The curious ( non minites ⁷case of Jayfon Anthony.

24 Apr 2024 10:32:21
The curious case ( of few minutes ) JA. maybe he will get a chance now after all.

24 Apr 2024 13:46:00
Baz Antony would have more minutes if crees form had of dipped or if he had been injured at anytime.
Plus his off field issues won't of helped. Also he must not fancy right wing at all as he has only ever played left.
I must say compared to the last few seasons we have been fortunate with injuries. We have had one or two but the core of the team has stayed pretty steady.

24 Apr 2024 15:49:38
Aus All loaned to us players remain available for the playoffs. All loaned out players (such as Ayling and Greenwood) remain unavailable for us during the playoffs.

23 Apr 2024 21:48:29
Looks like James out for the season. A big loss for us.

23 Apr 2024 22:01:29
Wtf. noooooo.

23 Apr 2024 22:42:44
Ribs and cartilage problems for DJ Baz, DF says DJ might be ok for Saturday but looking very doubtful! Massive loss especially if we go on to the playoffs! 🙃.

23 Apr 2024 22:51:16
Ugh disappointing Woody 😞.

24 Apr 2024 00:06:55
When dj went down last night I thought he was playing for time. As the minutes ticked down he was in discomfort. It looked as if he had cracked a rib or something. A loss for the last games.

24 Apr 2024 08:17:15
Can only be LEEDS DJ will be a big loss.

24 Apr 2024 13:49:56
Rutter was lucky to not come off injured. He was on the end of a couple of industrial challenges.
Dj was halled down to stop us breaking.

23 Apr 2024 21:41:27
Foxes in dreamland and now between Ipswich and ourselves 🤞surely.

23 Apr 2024 22:03:16
Fate : it was written in the 🌟 stars .

23 Apr 2024 22:41:40
Well fellas here we are

Berms faves Ipswich

vs

Super Leeds United

for 2nd place auto spot.

There has bèen a long line of posters all season on this forum dismissing Ipswich top 2 aspiration.

24 Apr 2024 00:25:54
To be fair Baz.
You spent the majority of this season dismissing Leeds chances of of top 2.
Well old fella, we've definitely finishing higher than your predicted 4, 5, 6, 12 or bottom half of the table
2 cup finals to go (3 for Ipswich)
So let's get behind Leeds United and help them to the Premier League 👏👏👏👏.

24 Apr 2024 00:30:32
In all honesty Baz I have never dismissed ipswich on here as a threat to take a top two spot but I personally didn’t think they would last the course, it’s like when Preston go on an early run went top then end up mid table, the same with other early front runners in other seasons, Bristol City, Birmingham, etc, etc and, well I thought Ipswich would be the same, but credit to them they have dug deep and stayed the course but now really is the time Ipswich to step aside and let the club that is Leeds United take their rightful place in the elite league that is the Premier League! lol 😂 so do the right thing please and let us win, it’s been a long hard season so put your feet up lads and get on that beach before the play offs start, I will even put a few quid behind the bar for you lads, cheers fellas much appreciated 👍👍🙃😳😂😂😂🤞👍.

24 Apr 2024 04:21:40
Leeroy good news I now have Leeds finishing 2nd or 3rd .100% Baz guarantee ☺.

24 Apr 2024 04:40:12
Hope so Woody.

Ipswich finally gonners at final whistle their EFL game 45 at Coventry.

pretty please.

24 Apr 2024 06:07:31
Is that your final prediction Baz that we will finish 2nd or 3rd? Are you absolutely 100% sure about that, with 2 games to go.

24 Apr 2024 08:00:38
I called it earlier in the season.
Baz likes to cover all bases 🤣🤣.

24 Apr 2024 09:31:31
Baz. We all know people have bashed Ipswich, oddly enough, given we DO all read this site! You don’t need to repeat it daily! And yes, we will finish in the Top 3, which IS a fantastic achievement given the summer exodus and rebuilding required afterwards, plus the work it takes to make an almost entirely new squad gel. Well done DF!

24 Apr 2024 10:37:52
Give me one more game OP and Leeroy for final prediction 😆.

24 Apr 2024 11:32:13
Now that one is funny Baz! 🤣🤣.

23 Apr 2024 19:23:12
Let's hope Southampton win tonight. This will mean that assuming we win out we should go up because either one of Leicester or Ipswich are definitely going to drop points somewhere.

23 Apr 2024 19:34:57
Personally, I think a draw would be better
Keep Southampton off our tail and leave Leicester in striking range
But I can see your reasons for a Southampton win.

23 Apr 2024 19:47:19
Come On You ⚜️⚜️.

23 Apr 2024 20:58:21
Leicester in control 🙌 1 nil up. Gonners or Leeds for 2nd?

23 Apr 2024 21:46:19
Err 5 nil thrashings don't happen in Champo (nor EPL). ho hum.

23 Apr 2024 21:46:43
Leicester 5-0 up! That’s one auto spot gone! One left boys and girls! It’s between Leeds and Ipswich now 🙃😳👍.

23 Apr 2024 21:46:44
5 - 0 Southampton have been awful. Leicester nearly home and hosed. A two horse race with Ipswich now.

23 Apr 2024 21:50:46
WOW, I never expected a Southampton collapse.
Let's home Ipswich have the same fall from grace and let Leeds push on for a second place finish.

23 Apr 2024 22:06:02
After tonight's display, I don't think anyone will worry about playing Southampton.
Hopefully they are now in a 5 game blip.

23 Apr 2024 22:11:31
Be their cup final 51, never that easy for us.

23 Apr 2024 22:25:13
Very true Dougie
How did you get on with the ballot for the Southampton game?

24 Apr 2024 06:10:43
Thé 5-0 thrashing as you call it Auntie Baz was in reference to your wild and totally unrealistic score prediction that we would beat Preston 5-0 nil.
How many times have Leeds won 5-0 in recent seasons Baz.
No often.
Ho hum.

24 Apr 2024 10:40:16
Err West Brom 0 va Leeds 5
Leeds 5 vs Stoke 0
Leeds 5 vs Newcastle 2 close 👌.

24 Apr 2024 13:08:10
Exactly my point Baz, 2 of those results were 4 years ago.
5-0 thrashings are rare for Leeds.

23 Apr 2024 15:53:01
Didn't see the game just wondered who played well and who didn't seen journalist scores but I don't take notice of them.

23 Apr 2024 17:44:32
Hi Old

I wouldn't say anyone played a blinder last night, plenty of mistakes by most, with most players having decent spells. Rutter tried to complicate it most of the time and kept losing possession, but at the same time, made the great run leading to penalty. Firpo was probably my pick of the match. Summerville played well in patches. Gray made some good interceptions and won possession back several times. Paddy played better than recently. Mostly 5/ 6/ 7 out of 10 for me.

Notwithstanding that it was a better performance overall than any of the previous three matches. We finally had our shooting boots on this time. 'Boro' were also a better team than the last three we faced.

23 Apr 2024 17:45:34
Baz Scores
Mes 4.5 ( dodgy )
Byram 5.5
Firpo 7.5 ( good assists played well going forward ) .
Rodon 6
Ampadu 6
Gruev 7
Gray 6.5
Gnonto 7.5
Summerville 7.5
Rutter 7
Bamford 7

Subs not on long enough really to score

Daniel Farke 6.5.

23 Apr 2024 17:52:26
Baz Jimmy surely scores an 8 or 8.5?

23 Apr 2024 18:14:28
Not imo

7.5 is fair

George he was good at times, scored his trade mark cut in onto right foot far post curler.

Good assist for Gnonto goal

A pen ( bit lucky it wasnt saved)

What would be your reasoning for 8.5 Georgey?

23 Apr 2024 18:52:56
Baz, you make me chuckle at times.
Probably 60% of penalties are nearly saved 🤣🤣🤣🤣.

23 Apr 2024 19:37:24
Not sure about 60 % pal. more like 15 %

50% of time keeper goes wrong way.

23 Apr 2024 19:43:14
Baz Scored penalty under pressure for the Bobby. Cute assist for his brother Willy. Scored the winner. Gets 8 for me.

23 Apr 2024 19:52:20
Stat time for Baz.
15 - 20% penalty save rate
79 % keeper goes the correct way (like last night, where Deng nearly saved Summerville's)
Either way Baz, you still make me chuckle at some of your comments 🤣🤣.

23 Apr 2024 20:05:16
Glad to make you smile and chuckle 😃 Leeroy.

. my invoice is in the post 📫 😆

You are having a giraffe on your imaginary stats though Leeroy 🍺.

23 Apr 2024 20:06:47
OK Georgey 8 is credible.

23 Apr 2024 20:08:31
Old… Summerville got motm and no one other than baz questioned it.

Grey also played a blinder in middle of the park. I don’t like him at rb but we got three great cms

Rutter often annoys but his brilliance is worth it

Bamford played very well, not taking the pen gives him a 9/ 10 rating for me.

Frake gets a 3 from me as in 3 points!

23 Apr 2024 21:01:41
Err Summerville got my joint top score

So under your logic🤔 for Blackburn match Farke got Zero . as in zero points?

24 Apr 2024 04:13:01
9 out of 10. Hilarious. I gave him 4.5 on 90 min rating and 4 of that was for the dance routine goal.

23 Apr 2024 14:37:44
Looking ahead to next season, a good and reasonably priced striker would be Middlesbrough's Emanuell Latte Lath.
Strong, quick and as last night proved, he can score
Let Joel Piroe move on and keep Patrick Bamford plus Matteo Joseph
What's your thoughts boys and girls.

23 Apr 2024 15:56:25
14 goals 1 assist in 28 games apparently, good if we don't get promoted unproven at a higher level so I'm unsure, called sitting on the fence😅.

23 Apr 2024 17:47:45
Good goal per game ratio

But is he injury prone? . as he hasn't played in one third of Cov games.

23 Apr 2024 17:59:54
alot depends on the style of the striker though as it needs to work for Farke's system. Not convinced Latte is the one for that although admittedly I haven't seen him much this season.

23 Apr 2024 18:11:21
4 of his 14 goals this season have come against Leeds.

23 Apr 2024 12:28:35
I've only just calmed down from last night's game - I'm not sure which is worse for my health, a relegation battle or promotion push, heart rate goes through the roof regardless!

Only got three days to recover ahead of Friday's game - cold showers and something in my tea for the next few days, it's the only solution!

All I will ask of the lads is to try your best on Friday and please be 4 - 0 up by half time:) )

23 Apr 2024 14:20:11
Love it cleggy. Hard on the nerves eh. 4 is enough by ht I reckon.

23 Apr 2024 10:00:04
Amorim discussing next job with both Liverpool and west ham.
Tough decision that one.

23 Apr 2024 10:18:22
Easy

Jellied eels, pie and mash 😋.

23 Apr 2024 10:46:38
Jellied eels and cockles at Leigh on sea cockle sheds. Them were the days.

23 Apr 2024 14:21:59
Bermo. You south Londoner too. Been to Leigh on sea cockle sheds?

23 Apr 2024 14:29:36
According to Football news, Amorim has been offered 4 x more than his existing salary by Wet Sham whereas Liverpool only offering double what he is on now. Money talks, trophies don’t anymore!

23 Apr 2024 17:55:26
I think sometimes with the way our sport is these days, it's not how long you're going to be at a club, but what's the payout when you get the sack .

23 Apr 2024 20:10:40
Aus I hate sea food, that’s where fish make toilet!

My wife loves it but she’s a proper wring’un.

23 Apr 2024 09:28:59
Do I want 🦊🦊 to win tonight or 😇😇?
I've been staring at the table ever since our game ended and I still can't decide - I need to go to bed!

Suppose if Leicester win, the saints don't have owt to play for maybe by the time we play 'em?

Or if saints win is that better. crap, I should be at work by now

Come on you Saints! .
. or Leicester. or a draw? arrrrrrgh.

23 Apr 2024 09:53:06
Leicester win for me. Give them 1st. Narrow it down to us or Ipswich.
Don’t think saints will lay down either way last game. We need to be 4 points ahead of Ipswich by the weekend.
Can’t see them winning both their games. But can see them winning the last game.
Rather it all settled by the saints game tbh.

23 Apr 2024 10:22:50
Leeds beat QPR then Saints can NOT catch Leeds.

Saints win keeps 2 auto places up for grabs.

23 Apr 2024 10:33:38
I've had this same thought. If Leicester win, only 2nd up for grabs between us and Ipswich. If Southampton win, leaves 2 places open but between 4 teams. No matter what happens, we need to beat QPR on Friday. Ipswich have two tricky away games coming up and can't see Southampton losing to stoke. Potentially we could be promoted by next Tuesday if Ipswich lose both games and tonights game is a draw or Leicester win🤞.

23 Apr 2024 10:41:47
Some posts on this site are so stupid

Sorry but the op is an idiot

Clearly we want both teams to lose 10-0 tonight.

23 Apr 2024 12:19:44
A Southampton win for me! When we beat QPR on Friday that guarantees us to finish ahead of Southampton on goal difference. It will still be a 3-horse race for top 2 spots. They than will rest players against us for the playoffs and we thrash them. Meanwhile Tractor Boys and Leicester drop points. If all that makes sence.

23 Apr 2024 14:24:23
Dreaming berm tri.
Rest a proven motivated starting 11. Tosh.

23 Apr 2024 17:49:18
Southampton win, a draw at worst for me; Leeds hopefully beat QPR and then Ipswich face Hull, essentially the only team with a reasonable chance, with their game in hand at the play-off's beyond those sitting in those spots currently.

23 Apr 2024 17:49:22
Good post Hooksie

More than feasible scenario.
