VAR just took over 6mins to make a decision in the Wet Spam game.... we've got this to look forward to next season!!
I can GUARANTEE refs will be a thing of the past in years to come and the game will be officiated by robots upstairs with a big whistle in the stadium and on screens.... it's akin to going in to your local supermarket and having to scan your own shopping to pay for it without any human contact.
In 100yrs nobody will have a job and we'll be run by the government/state....
VAR is not something I'm looking forward to. I was getting used to celebrating when the ball hit the back of the net. The idea of waiting 5-6 minutes to be told there's some leftfield reason why the big 6 team scored and we didn't.
I'm the last post on this thread but it hasn't come out!
I'm house sitting for family in a few weeks time for a few days in Scotton, near Knaresborough and Harrogate....has anyone from oop north got any recommendations on where to go with 8 & 10yr old girls?
I know Lightwater theme park is nearby and we'll be visiting....is it any good?
I know Lightwater Valley well - it's not the theme park it used to be. More of a shopping park.
Mother Shipton's cave in Knaresborough is worth an hour.
Wetherby for the park and chips if the weather is good
York has lots of good stuff, Jorvik centre, Clifford's tower, there's a ghost train etc and York outlet for shopping - if you can't entertain the girls there you're in trouble :-)
Just watched a truly awful Manchester derby, the only highlight was noticing how many players have had their hair styled by Sideshow Bob from The Simpsons!🤣
Was just with my Leeds mate and got a question for you!?
He seems to think the Blunts v Leeds game when we won the title in 1991/2 was on TV but on a time delay?
He went to the game but I couldn't get tickets and remember having to listen to it on the radio only. Surely if it was on a time delay I'd have made sure I didn't know the score and watched on TV as if 'live'?
I seem to remember that because the Liverpool v Mancscum game was being televised later in the day that they couldn't show both matches?
I've googled, but to no avail, so can anyone remember and please tell me who's more stupid for bragging rights....
I think Blunts v Leeds was the early (lunchtime) kickoff and Liverpool v Man Utd was the afternoon slot. I definitely remember watching the moment Liverpool got the second on TV and knowing we were champs - I am not sure if the Leeds game was on TV though - I have a sneaky feeling it was a radio job. It may well have been highlights shown later to be honest.
If my memory serves me correctly, the Leeds players had showered, changed, left the ground and were all on a sofa watching the Liverpool v Man Utd game when the title was sealed - they were being filmed. Wilko famously said he was having dinner with his family and didn't even watch the scummers game.
Thanks Soopa and concur to all that and remember watching the 2nd game and they kept cutting to Chapman, Cantona McAllister and Batty (? may be wrong?) on the sofa at Chapman's house....
I think Eric missed the 2nd half as he was upstairs helping Lesley Ash (ahem) tidy the bedroom....
I'm sure our lunchtime KO wasn't televised live though if anyone can help with this?
As I recall, the whole game was televised but don't think it can have been live because they showed the Scum game (possibly highlights?) immediately after - and they accidentally briefly showed the final league table (ie, after Liverpool had won) beforehand.
Distinctly remember an embarrassed look on the face of the presenter - Elton Welsby, I think.
Very saddened by the death of The Pirate (Johnny Walker). was a fantastic DJ and had no issues with calling rubbish exactly what it was. Always listened to his programmes in the 70's, mid morning (lunch time) and later during drive time. One of the best. RIP
Leeds fans generally hate Rio Ferdinand because of his move to mancscum....
However, after all of his trophy winning exploits at Old Toilet, he says his best and most enjoyable time in football was with us.... fair play to him! 👍⚽🙌
We should be hating our club for bleeding us dry and showing completely the wrong "ambition" instead of players who have no real allegiance and don't support us....we needed the money....
Same old story with Alan Smith.... sort of.
If our club hadn't been so badly run by various owners over the years we wouldn't have to sell to the likes of Mancscum....
Just reading about our plane crash in 1998 and can't believe how serious it was and how it's hardly talked about....
We'd lost to West ham and got to Stansted for the flight back to Bradford....
Can't believe we didn't just get the luxury coach and wouldn't have been much difference in time anyway....we didn't have a game for another 4 and a half days anyway.
I never realised the flight actually took off and was over 250ft in the air for 27secs before the captain took it down and crash landed on the grass with it's nose down just before running out of land by the perimeter fence by the motorway! The engine had completely caught on fire....
Bryn Law was the only journalist on the flight and explained it perfectly....it was the time we had some very good players in the squad and finished within the top 5 for 5 seasons in a row
I can't believe it's hardly ever mentioned and how lucky we were to escape uninjured....
Just seen that Rodon and Bogle are one booking away from a suspension....unless they can go the next 10 games without a card!
Bogle will be quite seamlessly replaced by Byram but with Ampadu and Wober out, Rodon will have to be replaced by Debayo or maybe Schmidt....not ideal but I suppose we'll then know if they're up to it.
I suppose at least they will be available for our next game v Blunts and Hamer....
I've been on other Leeds boards, without posting, just to get some transfer news etc.... haven't bothered to look on others for a couple of years now though.
The other boards are constantly arguing and fighting and support our club together!
I remember going to a game 15 odd years ago and it kicked off in The Kop between ourselves.... 2mins later after coppers had struggled to stop it, we were all singing Marching On Together as if nothing had happened! 🙈🤣
I know it's quieter on here than others but that's why I stuck with this one 12 odd years ago and meet up with people from here b4 games....
However, I'd definitely fight Lord Windyflaps because of the drivel he spouts with his crap and inaccurate weather predictions.....and his speciality of knocking 'friends' drinks over and just laughing 🥊🥊🥊🥊
On the subject of our Official Website, it is fkn embarrassing....
We have players still in the up to date squad, like Harrison, still pictured.... how fkn hard is it to press delete and save!?
There are many ESTABLISHED players such as Byram, Rodon, Piroe who don't even have a photo next to their profile.... how hard is it to copy and paste a photo of them!?
Poor Kamara is still up there after being with us for a WHOLE SEASON without a photo.... even though he's playing in France now!
He'll probably get a photo next to his profile next week!!
My boys non league club website, and other clubs of the same standard, is literally better....
Jude Bellingham is fined 30k for the gesture he made....
Whenever a fine is given out by by UEFA / FIFA / FA who keeps the money?
Does it go to charity or is it just a free reign for the association to simply keep it!?
The FA says it goes back into things like grassroots football. In my 14 years of being involved in youth football with the boy we never once saw improvement to pitches, changing rooms etc etc. We got to know other teams management and parents etc and none of their teams received anything in that time!
A simple booking or sending off is something like £20-50....the club pays it to the FA and what happens to that payment?
Surely the committees WANT players to get fined (similar to speeding offences by the police.... where do those fines go!?)
Friday rant over but I would seriously like to know if anyone has any answers to my nonsense....
Pontus Janssen suspended by his boyhood club, Malmo, for informing his own hooligan fans on WhatsApp, where their opponents were staying in a hotel!! 🙈😂
Would you have him back for one season to get us out of the Championship? He's the type of player you need in any team.... won't happen though.
If a manager can get his head in the right place I'd say yes to having him back, but if he's a loose cannon and disrupts the rest of the group then it's sadly a No.
As much as I don't like the guy he was a quality player and someone we'd have loved for us with that bite in his play....
I did hear this morning on Talksport that he's never had his own transfer window and always had to use other managers players with no budget for himself....
I have a chance to get tickets through a neutral source in Club Wembley just near the royal box.... I won't know until near the weekend.
Mine could be freebies or a 'donation' to a mate of a mate.... how much would you be willing to pay though!?
I saw resale tickets were going for £800!!
It's wrong really that someone on the inside is doing this and the tickets should be going to fans who have been going all season.... my morals went out of the window when I got the chance though! 🙈😂😜🤔
Please don't reply but just wanted to put it on the Leeds family and needed to and not about me....
Mum died this morning and she took me all round the country driving to EVERY important game and loads of crap ones as well from when I was about 10yrs old..... I probably wouldn't have been Leeds if it wasn't for her and carried it through! And my boy wouldn't be Leeds with so many memories either!
Cost me a fkn fortune and should have supported Luton and been a lot fkn easier!
No regrets whatsoever and pissed up in benidorm and should have been there for mum but she didn't know I was there anyway in nursing home.
Played Marching on together for her on balcony this morning.
Thanks mum for making me support our lovely club 👍🙏⚽❤️
Really sorry to hear this TC. It sounds like she was a grand women. It's such a weird feeling when a parent passes, I still have daft thoughts like "my dad hasn't rung for a while" -he has been dead for 10 years 🤔. I don't think they ever truly leave you, if you know what I mean.
Well it's that time of the season again as we all keep our fingers crossed for promotion to the prem and with the following success we would no couple have in the promised land.
.....on the other hand, for me this article sums it all up very nicely..
Focus turns big time to Leicester - all sorts of goings on there, and I reckon this could get really ugly for them:
Last Month the EFL wanted them to comply with a financial plan due to being at risk of breaching FFP - Leicester said screw you we were in the Prem last season - lawyers said they were right.
Yesterday the EPL charged them with FFP breaches - Leicester said screw you we are in the EFL now.
Looks like these cheats want it both ways and neither. Today they've launched urgent legal proceedings against both Leagues. EFL have put them under a transfer embargo
I hope both leagues close ranks and give this lot a serious bloody nose. LCFC taking the p***
In the mean time, what's this doing to the morale and the mood in the camp - on top of the FA Cup exit and being knocked off the top of the league....
I'm seriously considering popping in to my local bookies and asking them to give me a price on Archie being the player of the tournament at Euro 2028... I honestly believe he is destined to become an england legend 👍👍
Haven’t really gotten over us not giving Mateusz Bogusz a fair chance. Here’s a goal of his two weeks ago - he regularly does this a few times every season:
I have done a MDT for sheff wed but it aint appeared as yet. Not my fault if one doesnt go up and we lose lol. So dont be coming at me with your accusations and blame !!
Precedent now set. Clubs can spend what they want and only face a 6 point deduction.
Chelsea and Man City will be rubbing their hands.
Everton also need to concern themselves with the PL still not approving the takeover. 777 have put in over £150million into the club so if it is not approved it will be a loan with heavy interest rates.
Would love them to go down this year and "Do a Leeds"
Young ~Jack will need to up his game if he wants to play in the Prem next season
San Francisco 69ers are in the Superbowl final.... 👏
Won't be watching as no skill to passing an egg backwards and throwing 50yds forward hoping someone will catch it whilst evading big men in lots of padding wearing a motorcycle helmet.... sounds like a normal night out for Lord Drizzlybum.
There may be a little more to it than that though!
Will be hoping they win though as more money in our coffers and a feel good factor for our owners.
Farke says Gruev is humble, modest, patient and hardworking and also the first in and last out of the training ground....
Add him to Anthony, who still wanted to be on the bench after his mother passed away, and we have a great team spirit with everyone playing for each other....
I rate Cresswell and thought this would be his breakthrough season but obviously his attitude isn't 100% if he's not even making the bench,he would have got minutes if he buckled down and his dad shut the Fook up on social media.
2 months ago Gruev and Bamford were getting 2 minute cameo's off the bench,both showed good attitude & fight and both are now starting,add Firpo to that as well.
In hindsight we should have kept Davis.... none of us or our management saw it at the time though and you can't just keep paying out for potential. However, he didn't get given a chance....
Firpo is now complaining that Koeman didn't give him a chance at Barca.... he'd probably seen enough in training to make his own mind up!!
In Sam Byram we have one good left back. Firpo is back-up which makes it ironic that we let Niall Huggins (permanent starter for Sunderland and in Wales' national team) as well as Leif Davis (favourite player and 11 assists for Ipswich so far, this season) go for very little money. Davis sounds like a very loyal person whom you would, on top of his footballing skills, would like to have in your squad:
“I was 100 per cent right to make the move and I’ve never regretted it. I’m not just happy here, I’m very grateful to the club for bringing me here and I will always do whatever I can for them.”
There were a number of suggestions his attitude wasn't right at Leeds. Maybe having to go elsewhere has made him grow up and become a better player - not so much a mistake on Leeds' part, just a square peg and round hole situation. He is delighted not to be at leeds, many others are very happy to be at Leeds.
That's life.
I don't draw a conclusion that suddenly he was always going to be ace with us and we got it wrong.
One of the authors, Give me Sport, are saying 3 players should be dropped....
Kamara.... I can agree with as we have Archie Gray but can't write off Kamara yet.
Dan James.... I agree he should be sub but what a great impact he can make.... he's just finding his feet and supplying assists and looking better for us!
This is the fkn unbelievable one.... Piroe!! FFS where would we be without him!? He has a great goal to minutes ratio and who else would have scored our goals!? It's a fkn joke and can't be a Leeds fan who has penned that!
I'll even go as far as saying Lord Rainydick predicts better weather forecasts.... I never thought I'd be saying anything like that! 😜🤔🤬🙈🤣
Absolutely gutted that the boys in Green are no longer in the RWC 2023. They so deserved to get into the next round and maybe should have, apart from a few costly errors against a world class side. Everyone can hold their heads up high as to a man, they all done us proud, still cannot beleive that Argentina and Fiji/England will be in the semi's, but that's the way the stupid draw worked out. As for the final, I'm pretty sure it will be a repeat of the opening match between France and New Zealand.
A special mention to our talisman Johnny Sexton, we will never see the likes again.
Our official website is so slow and behind everything and doesn't even keep updated during u23s games etc....
Our own website now can't even get the name of our fkn manager correct!
It's bad enough misspelling arguably the bloke with the biggest job in the club but it's the connotation involved.... fkn embarrassing for a club our size at this level.
Seeing as I was proved correct with my theory of Archie Gray being able to play at RB, and because Farke likes Piroe playing deeper, we should play him as sweeper and let him push into the holding midfield role.... Hoddle agrees with me and Piroe can still get 20 goals a season from there
Farke goes on to say Bamford and Rutter are better at pressing the ball.... when did that become more important than scoring goals!
I know the game has evolved and a different style of play is needed but Farke says that Piroe finishing is world class and there is nobody better in this country.... think Haaland might have a say in this!
Either way if he rates him that highly then play to OUR strengths and do the hardest part of football which is scoring GOALS!
I'd rather us SCORE than press and stop a full back playing a long ball down the line.... let our defence actually DEFEND when that happens!
I've just worked out that out of the 9 games we've played so far, 7 have been against teams in the top half and only 2 have been against teams teams in the bottom half.... that means we've got an easy run-in and will win the league
Our 300m libel case against Everton will be kicked out of court and they'll get fined less money (200k) than we did for 'spying' on a PUBLIC FOOTPATH by the FA.... or Millscum getting fined for racism 🤬
Sinesterra didn't even get on as sub when Bournemouth were losing.... if he can't get on in that situation trying to save the game when will he play!? 🙈🤣
short termism is everywhere in football - they only did what the likes of Roca, Sinisterra, Wober, Aarondsen etc. did when they came to us and kissed the badge.
Blunts will go down and those 3 will be hustling for the next payday.
I just finished reading a great book, it was called "How to become a millionaire" and it's absolutely spot on and very simple to follow....
You just start with a Billion, then buy and sell Everton Football Club.
Boom boom....
In all seriousness, The stuff I've read about their new owners (777) today - and their record at Sevilla, Standard Liege etc is very interesting. If this goes through that's a full 50% American ownership in the EPL along with sides like, err, us....
I thought the headlines were a bit sensationalist, what he actually says I mostly agree with.
Struijk could be a massive asset if he get regular game time in his preferred position at last - he was on the fringes of the Netherlands squad at one point last year.
Kinnear is a bit disrespectful to Sheff Utd suggesting we'll have more seasons in the top flight than them over the next 5 years - we have to earn the right to say that, but he's right that it's depressing these players would go to a Prem side, any Prem side, rather than look at the bigger picture.
Plenty of so-called smaller clubs doing (much) better than us.
Think Soopa is correct when he says it's a bit dangerous and disrespectful to other teams to make comments/statements that over the next 5 years we'll be in the Premiership more than them. It's a bit like when Radz said "we'll be competing in Europe within 5 years", that sounds good but you're left with egg on your face when instead the club ends up back where it started.
History has proven how difficult it is for us to claw our way back.
Think AK is jumping the gun here.
AK himself said that if we don't make it back this season for FFP reasons/balance the books we would need to sell players, making it even tougher to return to the Premiership.
Obviously, the talking should be done on the pitch (getting results).
VAR just took over 6mins to make a decision in the Wet Spam game.... we've got this to look forward to next season!!
I can GUARANTEE refs will be a thing of the past in years to come and the game will be officiated by robots upstairs with a big whistle in the stadium and on screens.... it's akin to going in to your local supermarket and having to scan your own shopping to pay for it without any human contact.
In 100yrs nobody will have a job and we'll be run by the government/state....

I wish we'd have had him when he was playing for France a few years ago..
Fair play to Guilavogui and he really gets our club ....🙌❤️

Well it's that time of the season again as we all keep our fingers crossed for promotion to the prem and with the following success we would no couple have in the promised land.
.....on the other hand, for me this article sums it all up very nicely..
And yet I still can't help myself hoping and praying we make it there!
C' Mon Leeds!
Focus turns big time to Leicester - all sorts of goings on there, and I reckon this could get really ugly for them:
Last Month the EFL wanted them to comply with a financial plan due to being at risk of breaching FFP - Leicester said screw you we were in the Prem last season - lawyers said they were right.
Yesterday the EPL charged them with FFP breaches - Leicester said screw you we are in the EFL now.
Looks like these cheats want it both ways and neither. Today they've launched urgent legal proceedings against both Leagues. EFL have put them under a transfer embargo
I hope both leagues close ranks and give this lot a serious bloody nose. LCFC taking the p***
In the mean time, what's this doing to the morale and the mood in the camp - on top of the FA Cup exit and being knocked off the top of the league....
C'mon Leeds, keep on winning and we have control.
Archie Gray scores 5 mins after coming on for his England u21 debut
Haven’t really gotten over us not giving Mateusz Bogusz a fair chance. Here’s a goal of his two weeks ago - he regularly does this a few times every season:
What's this?It keeps popping up on this site but not on any other sites???
I have done a MDT for sheff wed but it aint appeared as yet. Not my fault if one doesnt go up and we lose lol. So dont be coming at me with your accusations and blame !!
Monk has got the Cambridge job. Been out of work since 2020 and did not do anything since he left Leeds for Boro then Brum.
Am sure there were better candidates so lets see how long he lasts. Another payday beckons if he gets the sack but it will not be as hude as others
Ipswich are on some run. Can’t see where they’re going to drop points at the moment. Whereas, Leicester…… they’re in a bit of a mess.
Everton get a reduction in their points deduction....
They cried
They only lose 6 pts now.
But there's a second case due to be heard April 8th when they and Nottm Forest will hopefully get 6 more each.....
Paddy B has been talking about the abuse he got last season.
Nutters turning up outside his house FFS.
Lots of us were critical of him for his contribution on the field - that's fair game when you play football if that's where it stays.
Abuse online, threats to his family and turning up outside his house?? There are some numptys about.
Consent consent consent
Really wtf; time to go; fekin waste of time & to think I actually donated 🙈
News from other sites from now on
Why the fek does the consent to options keep popping up even after hitting remember choices 🤬
San Francisco 69ers are in the Superbowl final.... 👏
Won't be watching as no skill to passing an egg backwards and throwing 50yds forward hoping someone will catch it whilst evading big men in lots of padding wearing a motorcycle helmet.... sounds like a normal night out for Lord Drizzlybum.
There may be a little more to it than that though!
Will be hoping they win though as more money in our coffers and a feel good factor for our owners.
Go 69ers, go....
FA Cup MDT is pending approval. I had not fogotten to do it!!!
Farke says Gruev is humble, modest, patient and hardworking and also the first in and last out of the training ground....
Add him to Anthony, who still wanted to be on the bench after his mother passed away, and we have a great team spirit with everyone playing for each other....
Well done Farke.... 👏👍👏👍
Farke up for Manager of the Month.... 👍👏
How the fk is Summerville not up for Player of the Month!? 😲🤬
No hindsight, Davis and Huggins are not good enough for the Prem
Needed lower league moves.
Will be suprised if any lower league Prem side move for them in the summer.
Right now they have found their level.
None is better than Sam or Baby Shacks IMO
In hindsight we should have kept Davis.... none of us or our management saw it at the time though and you can't just keep paying out for potential. However, he didn't get given a chance....
Firpo is now complaining that Koeman didn't give him a chance at Barca.... he'd probably seen enough in training to make his own mind up!!
Firpo also had Alba ahead of him! 🤣🙈
Fkn blokes a legend in his own head....
In Sam Byram we have one good left back. Firpo is back-up which makes it ironic that we let Niall Huggins (permanent starter for Sunderland and in Wales' national team) as well as Leif Davis (favourite player and 11 assists for Ipswich so far, this season) go for very little money. Davis sounds like a very loyal person whom you would, on top of his footballing skills, would like to have in your squad:
“I was 100 per cent right to make the move and I’ve never regretted it. I’m not just happy here, I’m very grateful to the club for bringing me here and I will always do whatever I can for them.”
Mistakes happen, but what a waste...
I just dont get Brum and Sunderland sacking thier bosses when they where near a top 6 finish.
Makes no sense to me
Firpo out injured til possibly the New Year....when has he had a run of 5 or more games in succession!?
I can't work out if that's good or bad news!?
I'd definitely get rid in January as he'll be on big wages.... and done fk all for us!!
Barnsley kicked out of the FA Cup
Breaking News this lunchtime:
Everton lose 10 points for financial breaches.....
That really helps us?
Rutter recalled to France u21 squad,Thierry Henry is their manager. Should be good for his development
LeedsNewsNow is fkn crap....
One of the authors, Give me Sport, are saying 3 players should be dropped....
Kamara.... I can agree with as we have Archie Gray but can't write off Kamara yet.
Dan James.... I agree he should be sub but what a great impact he can make.... he's just finding his feet and supplying assists and looking better for us!
This is the fkn unbelievable one.... Piroe!! FFS where would we be without him!? He has a great goal to minutes ratio and who else would have scored our goals!? It's a fkn joke and can't be a Leeds fan who has penned that!
I'll even go as far as saying Lord Rainydick predicts better weather forecasts.... I never thought I'd be saying anything like that! 😜🤔🤬🙈🤣
I know this is our 'bits and pieces' thread Mouseman about nothing in particular, but that is the most random 'bits and pieces' ever.... 👍👏🙈🤣
Bring back the end of year awards where snippets like this would get true appreciation.... where is Luby by the way!?
Absolutely gutted that the boys in Green are no longer in the RWC 2023. They so deserved to get into the next round and maybe should have, apart from a few costly errors against a world class side. Everyone can hold their heads up high as to a man, they all done us proud, still cannot beleive that Argentina and Fiji/England will be in the semi's, but that's the way the stupid draw worked out. As for the final, I'm pretty sure it will be a repeat of the opening match between France and New Zealand.
A special mention to our talisman Johnny Sexton, we will never see the likes again.
Our official website is so slow and behind everything and doesn't even keep updated during u23s games etc....
Our own website now can't even get the name of our fkn manager correct!
It's bad enough misspelling arguably the bloke with the biggest job in the club but it's the connotation involved.... fkn embarrassing for a club our size at this level.
Seeing as I was proved correct with my theory of Archie Gray being able to play at RB, and because Farke likes Piroe playing deeper, we should play him as sweeper and let him push into the holding midfield role.... Hoddle agrees with me and Piroe can still get 20 goals a season from there
My post from 2wks ago that people either ignored or took the piiss out of....
Farke out, me and Hoddle in.... 🤔😜😭🙈🤣🤬
Greenwood scores a beauty for Boro against his home town club 😉
Farke goes on to say Bamford and Rutter are better at pressing the ball.... when did that become more important than scoring goals!
I know the game has evolved and a different style of play is needed but Farke says that Piroe finishing is world class and there is nobody better in this country.... think Haaland might have a say in this!
Either way if he rates him that highly then play to OUR strengths and do the hardest part of football which is scoring GOALS!
I'd rather us SCORE than press and stop a full back playing a long ball down the line.... let our defence actually DEFEND when that happens!
FARKE OUT, HODDLE IN....
I've just worked out that out of the 9 games we've played so far, 7 have been against teams in the top half and only 2 have been against teams teams in the bottom half.... that means we've got an easy run-in and will win the league
Our 300m libel case against Everton will be kicked out of court and they'll get fined less money (200k) than we did for 'spying' on a PUBLIC FOOTPATH by the FA.... or Millscum getting fined for racism 🤬
Sheffield Wednesday owner says he will no longer fund the club
Administration looming?
Love the golf but haven't played for years due to the boys' football....
It'll be a great watch on Sunday with a hangover on the sofa and hardly any football to watch for some reason....
Ryder Cup watch this weekend.... not normally a big golf watcher but this one is always fun.
Europe off to a flyer 4-0 this morning, USA are responding by sending out their top pair to kick off the afternoon
Justin Thomas and Jordan Spieth (who happen to be owners of our fair LUFC)
All adds to the interest.
Could Archie Gray play RB?
We know he'll be rested every now and then because of his age and Kamara is more experienced....
Archie can tackle well, defends well, can pass, is energetic and gets forward well.... he'd be an option with Byram at LB.
I know he's being rested for a reason but could he slot in until Spence is fit?
He'll obviously be a good central midfielder in the end because of his potential but doesn't do any harm to play more than one position....
Tin hat on!
Sinesterra didn't even get on as sub when Bournemouth were losing.... if he can't get on in that situation trying to save the game when will he play!? 🙈🤣
I see archer, Thomas and hamer enjoying blunts life.
Looks like they made an error when west Yorkshire total football was on offer.
We'll be bypassing them come May.
Dallas back in training but expected not to be available for selection anytime soon .good luck to Stu in his recovery..
I just finished reading a great book, it was called "How to become a millionaire" and it's absolutely spot on and very simple to follow....
You just start with a Billion, then buy and sell Everton Football Club.
Boom boom....
In all seriousness, The stuff I've read about their new owners (777) today - and their record at Sevilla, Standard Liege etc is very interesting. If this goes through that's a full 50% American ownership in the EPL along with sides like, err, us....
Hot on the heels of a £150k fine for the behaviour v Brighton I see the numpty that attacked Howe has been jailed today for 3 months.
Every club has their village idiots, but as a fanbase we don't help ourselves sometimes. 😣
