Where do I sign?

11 Apr 2024 17:04:21
Every time I look in the mirror
All these lines on my face getting clearer
The past is gone
It went by, like dusk to dawn
Isn't that the way?
Everybody's got the dues in life to pay.

11 Apr 2024 17:16:58
Leeds on current form, vibe, DF dodgy decision making on team selection subd

beat Blackburn lose Boro and Saints
Draw QPR

4 points from 12.

11 Apr 2024 17:19:46
Positive as ever Baz. Nice one. Spot on.

11 Apr 2024 17:33:43
Baz you need to change your name to acumilous nimbus, The Greay Cloud.
In fact I reckon in your past life that would have been your American Indian name. "How", "me Grey Cloud". 🤣🤣 hot a ring don't ya think.

11 Apr 2024 17:37:51
I am a "true realist " Brighty.

11 Apr 2024 17:49:14
Amusing as ever Dougie pal 🤣

Just keeping it REAL 😎

As you shall soon see with results.

11 Apr 2024 17:59:22
Realist spielist Baz, you are by definition the all in compassing and the one and only Mr, Misery Guts. ☹️.

11 Apr 2024 18:00:11
Ok chief
😉.

11 Apr 2024 18:15:57
". Just keeping it REAL 😎

. As you shall soon see with results. "


Is this your final prediction then Baz, we won't get auto's - just 4 more points?

11 Apr 2024 18:20:43
Nah confused OP

. even when I predict Leeds thrash teams 5 nil it still doesn't please yer lol 😆 😜.

11 Apr 2024 18:21:41
Welcome Dougie 🙏.

11 Apr 2024 18:30:02
As I said in comment above Ani if DF persists with same team selection, subs . then yes

Away matches especially DF must " rest " Bamford.

11 Apr 2024 19:05:33
Try being hopeful Baz, instead of doom and gloom.

If I want to be depressed and listen to constant moaning, I’ll call the Mother In Law, but this site is quickly getting like that again with the same few posters, getting really boring now.

11 Apr 2024 19:17:25
My predictions
Home win v Blackburn
Away wins v Middlesbrough and QPR
Home draw v Southampton
I have always stuck to my 2nd place finish, but I actually feel that I might have been too cautious and we will be crowned Champions
Keep the faith boys and girls 👏👏.

11 Apr 2024 19:20:45
MG, OP, Brighty, Woody

Your rhetoric is not based on FACTS!

The reality is that 90% of this season I have predicted Leeds to WIN . repeat WIN. yes . often 3 Nil, 4 nil, 5 nil wins

IF anything I have been TOO OPTIMISTIC, too positive in my thinking

There is an erroneous misconception on here that I have been " negative" this season when the facts are a large percentage of my score predictions have been positive and optimistic

And when I have been negative it has been proven correct ( the 3 away defeats in December)

Keep it factual fellas.

{Ed025's Note - the defence rests, now M,lud can we hear from the prosecution.. :)

11 Apr 2024 19:21:43
Baz I’d rather have one of your magnificent 5-0 victory than, when we lose or even draw a game, everything is over and we are doomed.
It’s not just about singing when we are winning is about getting yer chin up having faith and singing when we don’t win.
Don’t forget, We Are Leeds
MOT 😎.

11 Apr 2024 19:51:17
OP again zero facts from you just emotive misconceived erroneous rhetoric on your part

Take our 3 recent games and my continued positive optimistic predictions


Leeds draw with Watford .

' dooom and gloom ' from Baz?

On the contrary Baz then predicts Leeds beat Coventry

( Leeds regrettably lose to Coventry
Doom and gloom from Baz?

Not especially as Baz then predicts Leeds beat Sunderland.

But Leeds don't regrettably

And furthermore predicting a team finish in playoffs. with 4 games to go . and they currently are already in the playoffs is not ' Doom and gloom" .

Just your preconceived biased emotive erroneous narrative 🙄.

11 Apr 2024 20:00:05
Not really one for making prections, especially re: Leeds.
so all i have to say is i agree with the posters on here that it is time to give joseph some serious minutes.

11 Apr 2024 20:28:28
Think we all need a B. A. D. Baz Appreciation Day.

{Ed025's Note - i know hes a miserable git at times George, but i just cant help liking the guy mate.. :)

11 Apr 2024 20:47:09
And cheers brother George.

11 Apr 2024 20:56:47
Let’s be honest Baz keeps us on our toes!

11 Apr 2024 20:46:05
Cheers Ed025 🍻 lol 😆.

{Ed025's Note - you are welcome mate..

11 Apr 2024 21:40:19
I dunno man. Feels like keeping track of predictions is kinda lame tbh. Who cares lol.

11 Apr 2024 22:45:27
It’s not just the negativity Baz, it’s the constant bashing of the team and mostly the manager, who has performed better than most previous managers, overly optimistic my 🍑

You talk about FACTS (capitals as you have put) , and those are we are 3rd and in a great position, you predicted 6th (on the 3rd round of predictions, so the FACT is we are out performing your predictions, yet you still slate the team and the manager 🤔

You are contributing in turning this site into a moaning soundboard. If all you have is a moan (win, lose or draw) then fine, we all do it occasionally, but try to keep the number of moaning posts down, I reckon you are posting 20 times to everyone else’s 1 and somewhat monopolising the site.

12 Apr 2024 00:06:07
MG feel free to quote any post where I ' slate ' the team this season! Good luck you won't find one.

This is the emotive erroneous exaggerated narrative of which I speak.

As for the manager DF, he is certainly not above criticism and regrettably making selection mistakes which is costing crucial points at crunch time aimo

As for my prediction of 6th. if Leeds finish 3rd . its the same end result : playoffs.

12 Apr 2024 06:14:48
Like your favorite McKenna who also dropped two points at home. FACTS as you call it, well football isn’t a science Baz, you do have elements which can go against you in matches like luck, hitting the woodwork several times, referees poor decisions, even confidence especially at this defining part of the season. It’s not all about stats, if we are going by stats then we wouldn’t change anything because we were on a record breaking run from January 1st, but there’s no point in explaining that to you because you only want to criticize and you invite all the responses you get to your posts because it feels unjust to a lot of fans. But you of are of course are entitled to your opinions but don’t expect others to join in with your constant moaning on the very few occasions this season when we don’t win a game.

12 Apr 2024 06:45:47
I can’t talk facts when talking about the future Bazinald! Only you can do that! 🤯🤣🤣.

12 Apr 2024 06:56:22
Sorry, second reply. Very good, balanced, and fair observations there MG.
Maybe if you limited yourself to 3 moans per day Baz, it would be less grating to those of us who dare to dream?
PS Sir Bazinald’s new words of the week; emotive, and erroneous. (Added to word of the season; hyperbole. ) Next weeks words I suggest should be brought to us by the letter ‘D’….? (I’m sensing a new game for us all here, but I ain’t got an Eng dictionary any more! 😫)
🥴😁🤜🏼🤛🏻.

12 Apr 2024 07:02:09
Bottom line is that I have backed Leeds to win most matches and in 2024 have been very complimentary and uber happy with most of Leeds victories.

This very recent 4 game blip is regrettable but I still positively backed Leeds to win each of the 4 games .

Sorry my positivity doesn't fit your rhetoric

Pretty sure a lot of your pent up angst OP is down to little ole Ipswich and McKenna not having " gone ".

It annoys and frustrates you and seemingly clouds your judgement eg. on this thread for starters.

It is what is.

12 Apr 2024 07:09:31
Lol Brighty 🤣🤣. I have to admit your posts have improved a lot in past 6 months .

reasonable ; usually well balanced

Good humour sometimes very

Less boisterous

Less hypocritical

You even toning down the hyperbole a tad. woah

Sincerely Sir Nostra Baz.

12 Apr 2024 08:40:00
I’m no more frustrated or disappointed when we don’t win like any other fan, but you have a tendency to take your frustrations that bit further by slagging off Farke who is doing a brilliant job so far.
With a 65% win rate since he arrived at our club it’s a pretty good start to his tenure. Is he a great Leeds manager? Of course not, he’s got to prove himself in the Premiership first and that’s not by winning the Premiership title, that’s by just keeping us there.

Most successful coaches stick with their method or formula and not changing it constantly when there’s a little blip or because when a irritated fan like you wants him to change it because you know more than him.

12 Apr 2024 08:52:40
Brighty, need to add ‘rhetoric’ to the list of Baz Buzzwords 🤣🤣.

12 Apr 2024 11:16:18
Yeah I do like that one MG ; 'hypocrisy" is also a fave ; apt on here 🤣

OP ; but that's just it; DF did previously CHANGE it when it was not working by dropping Piroe permanently to bench.

And what's this nonsense you say that DF would be a ' success ' by just " keeping Leeds in EPL '?

Really? What happened to optimistic " Top 6 OP ' 😂🤣.

11 Apr 2024 16:49:54
{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new player profile about, Alexander Isak

11 Apr 2024 10:59:14
It is good to see that rapha had a good game and scored a brace for Barcelona.
All the talk since he went to Barcelona is of him been out of favour not fitting in and being sold on.
Every time I've seen him play for Barcelona he has put 100% in as he did for us.
I know he is never going to be the most skilled winger Barcelona have ever had but sheer work rate makes up for it.

11 Apr 2024 13:20:01
His second goal was class 👌.

11 Apr 2024 14:11:33
Said before. Leaves Barcelona on a free or in a box. Fact.

11 Apr 2024 16:16:22
How is otva ' fact' Aus when it hasn't happened ( yet)

Your opinion : yes

The p word ( prediction ) ok.

11 Apr 2024 16:21:02
💩 Aus. Money 🤑 talks and his agent loves it. Plus Barcelona aren't exactly debt free.

11 Apr 2024 16:26:31
" Continuous Tippy tappy sideways and back 7 yard passes Farke Ball is quite often a yawn fest and at times very ineffective. AIMO.

Mix it up Farke! Encourage instruct your players Gruev, Amps etc to make KP style 25/ 30/ 35 yard long passes out wide/ over the top etc.

11 Apr 2024 16:58:03
Just watched raphas second dill. Excellent finish.

11 Apr 2024 17:00:14
And baz use to call me boring!

Now I am the first to admit …. I was boring

But at least I was insightful and correct?

Fake got points than Belisa this season than when we went up., in a harder leauge … plus we have had at least two games where we’ve been blantedtly cheated costing us 5 extra points

Give it a rest baz or come back when at least like me you are right.

11 Apr 2024 17:21:41
Is this the ' In Orta We Trust' Berma of 4 days ago .
newsflash Berma

Court of Arbitration CAS have confirmed today thst Leeds United have withdrawn their appeal over the £24.5 million JKA wages award

Well done Orta
Well done Berma .

Not.

11 Apr 2024 17:36:50
Berma this points Bielsa living rent free in yer noggin is amusing


only thing that is relevant is if Leeds go up this season .

Being 3rd as they are isn't enough


And as for style of football " Farke ball" is certainly less entertaining than Lèeds GREAT managers style of play.

Sorry.

11 Apr 2024 00:05:12
See Bristol's smacked 5 at Blackburn.

11 Apr 2024 06:54:09
Yep. Just our luck that Blackburn had a rest night yesterday, and will be up for it when they play us! Now they ARE fighting for somat, to avoid relegation; Typical.

{Ed025's Note - they are the weirdest side in the league Brighty, one week great and the next pathetic, which one turns up at the weekend is anyone,s guess mate..

11 Apr 2024 10:43:56
We need good early pressure and hopefully an early goal to take any fight out of them. Then we should be OK. A fast pressing start. Got to raise the tempo Tuesday night we kept hold of the ball but everything was glacial.

11 Apr 2024 13:46:06
Hopefully get a pen in opening ten minutes.

11 Apr 2024 14:14:17
Agree Ben. Pussy footing in defence sooooooo much just gives them time to organise. I have lost count of the times we have possession in final quarter by corner flag and 10 sec later mez has it. Ridiculous. We have the talent to hurt any team. Why so boring and scared to show it.

10 Apr 2024 23:14:47
So all those wailing about only a point this mid week, we have kept tabs with Ipswich and gained a point over Leicester. More twists to come yet I feel.

11 Apr 2024 03:26:05
Yet still 3rd Cuppa

with one game fewer

and Saints in 4th steaming up the straight like Red Rum 🐎 in his prime.

Leeds win next 3 games they be up imo.

11 Apr 2024 05:00:20
Will still be striving for 3 every game. But yes, the point has been okay this time.

One game fewer then Leicester only, Baz.

11 Apr 2024 05:55:32
It was an opportunity missed. We could have done better and had promotion in our own hands rather than still relying on others to fail. The top two win their remaining games we in play offs.
The criticism of players and manager this week have been justified. Simply not good enough not to beat Sunderland.

11 Apr 2024 06:05:43
Opportunity missed for all 3 Aus. Millwall or Watford hardly the cream of the division. At this point anything can happen we should be grateful to have collected a point.

11 Apr 2024 06:40:37
Well said Alf! The true “realists” recognise that this race is far from over, while the defeatists bemoan a point on Tuesday which could yet be decisive in our unexpected push for auto! There will yet be more twists and turns, I’m sure of that. Dare I say that we are not the only team at the top who have players looking a bit jaded!?

11 Apr 2024 07:59:32
We don’t know for sure there will be more twists and turns. They could win all there games. Not beating Sunderland is disappointing.
There would have been no one on here pre match that didn’t predict a win.

11 Apr 2024 08:56:49
Some very good points made above guys.

Whilst things are out of our hands at the moment and our good form has deserted us (temporarily) don’t forget Leicester are also struggling for form and Ipswich have still got to away to Hull and Coventry - I for one am very glad those two opponents are now out of the way.

Preparing for another rollercoaster weekend!

11 Apr 2024 10:31:55
With how the top three's form is recently don't think any of em will win all remaining games. So going to go to the wire. Saints arguably still in it too, although one loss would likely see them out of it.

About as much chance guessing which way a fart is going to blow in the wind as predicting the final league positions.

11 Apr 2024 14:16:41
Throw the grass in the air first dill. Will help you get wind drift. As long as not drugs mate. That’s just stupid.
I’ve got a feeling. We shall see if I’m right.

10 Apr 2024 22:11:26
Season 22/ 23 financials.

⚽️Revenue £190m ⬆️ 0.2%
⚽️Wages £146m ⬆️ 20%
⚽️Manager payoff £9.5m
⚽️Player costs (wages and amortisation) £120 for every £100 of revenue
⚽️Operating loss £106m
⚽️Player purchases £170m
⚽️Player sales £86m

Flying close to the edge!

11 Apr 2024 05:25:13
It was Alf's many cups of tea ☕ which caused us to go over budget.

11 Apr 2024 06:07:13
True, I have a voracious appetite.

11 Apr 2024 06:40:55
🤣🤣🤣👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻.

11 Apr 2024 08:15:12
£9.5 m payout for 2 x abysmal managers.
I'm definitely in the wring job 🤬🤬.

11 Apr 2024 09:01:24
Baz and George applying next time. They can then prove how much better they are at this lark.

11 Apr 2024 10:48:51
Just been reading about it bright. The 70 odd mil from raph and Philips save us from any danger and we go up all should be fine. If we fail to go up then the belt tightening will be starting.

11 Apr 2024 16:37:38
Cuppa who would you have preferred

Brenty? Chuckle brother? Or George and I?

( and we would only cost £5 miliion in compensation)

11 Apr 2024 16:59:34
Think I'd rather have Hockaday back before you two tbh Baz.

11 Apr 2024 17:05:33
Love it Baz 🤣.

11 Apr 2024 17:22:50
Love it Alf! 🤣.

11 Apr 2024 17:23:00
Alf That's rather insulting.

11 Apr 2024 17:53:18
Georgey 😂🤣.

Nah Cuppa deep down you rate us . a LOT. its ok your secret is safe 😎 😂.

11 Apr 2024 18:02:58
Alf If you recant your insult, am prepared to upgrade your boardroom nourishment to any biscuit 🍪 of your choosing or possibly a chocolate 🍫 eclair because I know you like 👅 that kind of thing. 🤣.

10 Apr 2024 21:53:02
Well, there you go.
Last night's result wasn't as bad a point as it seemed
All 3 teams are being thwarted by mediocre teams
Keep the faith boys and girls
Bring on Blackburn Rovers.

10 Apr 2024 22:45:50
Top scorers Ipswich no goals scored in 2 games . surprising.

{Ed025's Note - maybe their manager has not got a clue either Baz?.. :)

10 Apr 2024 22:58:09
Exactly Ed! And they didn’t have two clear pens… he must be sacked immediately.

{Ed025's Note - and i know a guy who can be the one to tell him Bermo.. :)

10 Apr 2024 23:00:46
Lol Ed025

its very good news for Leeds if Ipswich have finally run out of goal scoring inspiration.

{Ed025's Note - i thought you may have been upset with that Baz?.. :)

11 Apr 2024 03:32:00
You do Ed?

Paddy Power latest odds as to whom

8/ 11 Ed Sheeran

7/ 2 the youtube GOAT Ipswich Blogger Mr Benjamin Bloom

6/ 1 Mick Mills

13/ 2 Berms fave Jason Dozzell

50/ 1 Baz, the governor Big Mac McKenna.

{Ed025's Note - im on the 50/1 shot mate..

11 Apr 2024 13:47:18
Brilliant Ed that made me chuckle!

11 Apr 2024 17:01:51
Why is Jason dozzel my favourite? Have I missed something?

I say bring back Belisa and kp… I loved it in leauge one.

10 Apr 2024 21:44:40
Oh dear! Did Ipswich and the Super Gaffer of the Year fail to score at home against lowly Watford? They should really be scoring at home, surely?

10 Apr 2024 22:32:21
Maybe they'll get a letter ✉️ in the post beginning of next week?

10 Apr 2024 22:51:11
Have Ipswich finally " gone "?

Or were they unjustly treated by those beastly EFL officials

With four PGMOL apology letters on their way to sunny Portman Road.

{Ed025's Note - love it Baz..

10 Apr 2024 23:04:41
I’m sure Ipswich FC receive post like any club in the EFL George, nothing unusual in that.
No Baz, Lucky Ipswich simply ran out of luck, bit like your useless predictions 🤣😂🤪.

10 Apr 2024 23:40:24
Lowly Watford who we only just we only just drew with bright.
It's got to the end of the season where teams are gone or have something to prove and some silly results will happen.
Blackburn win big one week and get thrashed the next.
Who can predict what is going to happen next.
Strap in. We will have no finger nails by May.

11 Apr 2024 03:34:19
That predictive text is tricky for you OP lol .

I know you meant to type :

' masterly predictions '

11 Apr 2024 06:43:36
Good to see everyone getting their humour back! 🤣🤣🥴.

10 Apr 2024 21:44:37
🪝🇧🇲📐 See your mate bagged a couple for Bristol City tonight.

11 Apr 2024 00:48:03
I tried to convince Nahki Wells to play for Leeds last summer when he was home, He said NO cause DF would play Bamford over him. LMAO.

11 Apr 2024 04:47:10
Harry, Erling and Kylian told me the same thing.

11 Apr 2024 06:44:00
🤣🤣🤣.

10 Apr 2024 19:34:29
Well there we have it, confirmed that Leeds United have received six letters of apology from the PGMOL this season so far and that’s not including the two the club will receive for last night’s appalling refereeing.

That’s the real reason we are not top of the league right now.

{Ed025's Note - fair point OP..

10 Apr 2024 19:52:13
Can't stand 🐷🐀.

10 Apr 2024 20:37:25
So are we the only team in the EFL to receive such letters?

10 Apr 2024 20:38:35
Last night's blatant handball, the second one, was a stonewaller. Unbelievable it wasn't given.

10 Apr 2024 21:02:44
And how many letters have other teams received Leicester, Ipswich Saints is the pertinent question?

10 Apr 2024 21:59:18
Not getting one stonewall penalty in any match is hard to swallow, but two in the same match smacks of something more than just refereeing errors. Especially when you see the positioning of the referee in both incidents. And the linesman, or should I say assistant referee had an even better view of the tugging on Rodon and handball by O’nien for the the second penalty shout. If Don Goodman says that they were both penalties, then you know something isn’t right. Shocking officiating.

10 Apr 2024 22:00:00
Who cares? Your sentiment is obviously against Farke
and anything that that might be a reason for not winning a game is solely his fault.
You are very one dimensional in your opinions.
It’s my way or the highway with you Baz.

Strangely enough Lucky Ipswich were unable to beat Watford tonight, that must mean McKenna has got it all wrong with his selection and tactics. !
Bit like Farke eh Baz?

10 Apr 2024 22:41:31
OP All managers make mistakes. Can you guarantee we'll trounce Blackburn 5-0?

10 Apr 2024 22:53:11
Err so if Ipswich have 8 PGMOL apology letters?

10 Apr 2024 22:55:51
Don’t ask me BobbyK, do some research mate and find out.

10 Apr 2024 23:29:15
George I’ll leave the 5-0 wins for Baz to predict.
Baz find out for yourself instead of making moronic and unintelligent suggestions.

10 Apr 2024 23:46:01
Stoke were robbed of a goal for and a pen against tonight another show of poor reffing. What are ref assistants for? They never seem to intervene.

11 Apr 2024 03:38:04
As per your request OP, I have done my research / investigative journalism.

EFL head office of Supremo Greg Dyke have confirmed that Ipswich have been sent EIGHT letters of apology from PGMOL

So your theory is debunked.

11 Apr 2024 04:28:45
* Rick Parry and ( ex Leeds Chief Executive) Trevor Birch of EFL.

11 Apr 2024 06:40:31
Don’t know where you found that information Baz?
Sure you’re not making that up to suit your agenda?

11 Apr 2024 06:50:27
Their letters were apologising for their crap fans tho Baz……ours were only for poor ref decisions!
I think it’s time the Refs and liners were fully mich’d up, like the Rugby. Let’s hear what they are saying, and get a sense of whether they are intelligent enough, or observant enough, to even work as quality control at a chocolate fire guard factory, let alone referee matches where £’s millions are on the line!
