Poveda called up by Colombia for our next 3 games .... we don't have to let him go as they're only friendlys. It shows we don't really want him and he'll probably leave in January....
This is actually good for him and Leeds both. He has chance to play 2 to 3 games in a short period of time and able to show flashes of brilliant play which would allow us to sell him in January. It also opens a bench spot for Joseph, Bates, McGurk, Gyabi or another youngster.
I had high hopes for him,he looked really sharp this pre season but he has Rutter,James & Jimmy in great form ahead of him so hard to see him getting many minutes.
It could work out good for us for him to get some minutes in him,he's only played an odd cameo off the bench so could benefit from a few run outs for Colombia
He, Niall, much like Caprile, Bogusz, Dremah choose to leave as they did not see a development pathway into our first team line-up.
Bates, Gyabi, Cresswell, Hjelde, Greenwood, Gelthardt will all most likely follow. They all need to be playing first team football in league 1, 2 or in Scotland.
yeh - not what Wales needed. Rodon instrumental in forcing the goal. Ampadu put himself about in midfield, Dan James came on but couldn't fashion a breakthrough.
As much as I want England to win the Euros, these group games are fkn awful.... I'll be flicking backwards and forwards to the snook that I've got a bet on.
I'd never have done that all those years ago....
The team selection tonight against the mighty Malta is fkn unbelievable and full of defenders!
Why not go with just TWO defenders and PROPER wingers instead of full backs!? Malta won't get over the halfway line!
And no point in saying that the team needs to play the usual formation to get used to our style of play cause that goes out of the window when playing teams like this!
My boy is literally playing against a better standard of opposition tomorrow at Telford.... anybody go to Telford v Leeds in the 80s in the FA Cup when the game was changed to be played at WBA? Really snowy day and we were lucky to get through....
Yeah Baird got both as I watched highlights on YouTube last night.... I went to the game but literally can't remember anything about it even after watching the goals. I can usually remember something about most games I've been to....
I've even told others that the game was played at Birmingham!!
Good to see you back BB.... is it pure coincidence that you haven't been onboard whilst the egg chasing tournament is being played?
A sport where the final whistle brings on games of soggy biscuit, defrocking each other and running naked around the clubhouse and drinking concoctions of vomit in sandwiches?
Rugby has always had "penaties" and "fines" to endure.
On a trip to Beglium me and a few other guys were fined 5 Euros for having the audacity of getting a coffee in the morning instead of lager/Guinness!! The sneak even had photographic evidence. Rules were simple on the tour - only alcohol to be drunk but her after a day or so, some needed water ot a coffee/tea.
As for running naked in the clubhouse, never seen it in over 40 years. Maybe it is what amateur footballers do?
Would love to share more but what goes on in a club, stays in the club
Haha brave man Mouseman before the English get called arrogant again!
The fact of the matter is that we should do well in football.... don't know enough about the rugby country politics but I suppose it's similar?
With the resources we have we SHOULD do better than the rest of the UK and Ireland.
I don't go round thinking that England should win every tournament we enter because history has proved us wrong on EVERY occasion bar 1966....
What I do think is that we should get through to the quarter finals MINIMUM of every tournament we enter.... is that arrogant thinking we should reach the last 8 of a tournament when we're always world ranked higher than 8th in every tournament?
We do flatter to deceive and with world class players like Walker, Stones, Bellingham, Foden, Saka, Kane we SHOULD do better!
Very hurtful for us poor English 🙈🤔😲😜
It's like the rest of Yorkshire hating us because we're the biggest club....
Bored, bored, bored, bored, bored.... lucky England are playing in the cricket as I've had enough of watching the likes of Andorra v Timbuktu.
Just had a look and we've got ANOTHER fkn international break in 4wks time!!
Instead of watching Leeds play we can watch England have 75% possession by passing sideways across the halfway line against the mighty Malta and North fkn Macedonia!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬
These windows for internationals are terrible. Alot pointless games where only some players give a sh1t.
The Welsh lads doing well
Thank God we are back next weekend when real football starts!!!!!!!!!!!
Joseph came off the bench & scored the winner for Spain u21 v Scotland
Ao got 20 minutes v China in a 7-0 win
Aarsonson played 70 mins v Canada
Wobber played 90 mins for Austria.
Crew & Darlow unused subs for Taffs,Ampadu & Rodon played 90mins. Crew got moved to u21 squad for next Wales game.
Firpo played as a Striker for DR
Poveda called up by Colombia for our next 3 games .... we don't have to let him go as they're only friendlys. It shows we don't really want him and he'll probably leave in January....
Thank God they are over until March.
Now to get back to proper football
Niall Huggins on the bench for Wales against Turkey tonight. Maybe a left back we should've kept....
...on a brighter note, earlier today Gnonto scored two for Italy's U21 against Ireland.
International weeks are booring
I'm watching the Wales game on S4C
Actually means something and features 3 Leeds players.

Boring, boring international football....
90 minutes and assist to the second goal for Kamara in Finland's 4-0 victory over Northern Ireland.
Well I for one am looking forward to the away trip to San Marino.
I hate these international breaks. Just Mickey Mouse football being played. I cannot wait til Rotherham on 24th!!!!!!!

All in team bonding spirit of course.... 😲🤔😲🤔
Thank God they are over so we can concentrate on REAL football!
Not a single pundit mentioned about the Rice mistake for the Italy goal.... it was an easy cut out and he went with his wrong foot.
If that was Kalvin, Henderson or Maguire, they'd have been slaughtered!!
I see England rugby team is tha last man standing of the four nations or rather 3 nations and a principality
English u21 lost to Ukrainian u21 creswell scored to make it 2-2! But they came back with a stoppage time goal 3-2
Bored, bored, bored, bored, bored.... lucky England are playing in the cricket as I've had enough of watching the likes of Andorra v Timbuktu.

Kamara starting for Finland in a couple of minutes.
