Rumoured kalvin wants to come home.
Bermo will be chuffed.
However he wouldn't really get in the team.
Gray, Gruev, kamara and amps would be in front of him in pecking order.
He does seem lost. Always seemed like a one club pony.

30 Apr 2024 08:52:03
So how many of man u team are we buying. sorry it's man u wouldn't buy a cup of tea from them.

{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new article entitled, West Ham United v Liverpool - A Quick Liverpool Perspective

29 Apr 2024 19:32:25
In my opinion after the start we had to the season we would of all been happy with the play offs, some of us had us finishing 6th to 10th, some even mentioned relegation, but to finish in the play offs was an achievement. So we still have a chance of automatic promotion, Ipswich have 2 games, both of their opponents have pride to play for but I’m not stupid the odds are against us, but I still hold every hope that we will go up automatically. If we don’t it’s the play offs, a time for redemption in so many ways because it’s about time we get this play off monkey off our backs. So the stats are all written, the games have been played, we now know where we are and what is needed, so let’s get a grip and start believing instead of berating, let’s all become ALAW, we’ve all had our say and all opinions are respected, you never know we may have a day out at Wembley to come!, but for now it’s all or nothing, like I say time to believe, if we haven’t got hope and belief in our life what have we got to get out of bed for? I hope Leeds United go up for all you posters on here I really do, you deserve it for all the crap years we’ve been through, all the ups and downs we’ve suffered together and all the games we’ve watched, some enjoyably, some excitedly and some so bad we couldn’t watch at all, on our own never mind together! MOT ALAW🤞👍.

Excellent post Woody.

29 Apr 2024 20:39:35
Good post Woody.

If it is to be the playoffs then IF Leeds players want it badly enough they can most definitely win it.

The other three teams Southampton, Norwich and West Brom are good but nothing to be fearful of.

If anything don't want Hull to squeeze into 6th next Sat. their form and performances been good.

29 Apr 2024 20:55:37
Yeah, i'll admit I had them midtable after preseason. Here's hoping the rub of the green goes our way for once
MOT.

29 Apr 2024 20:57:57
Top post woody mate👍👍👍.

29 Apr 2024 21:36:31
Thanks Cleggy, Baz and Whitey, and you have hit it right on the nail Baz, IF the Leeds players want it badly enough! Spot on Baz and again you are right in saying “we can win it” because we can! You see, you and me Baz, we are two supporters who differ in our views, I’m stupidly optimistic and you are more reserved in your optimism say, but we can agree and most importantly we are both Leeds through and through, all of us on here, we are all Leeds! I wouldn’t mind a trip to Wembley though! lol 😂 👍👍.

29 Apr 2024 21:38:47
Excellent post Woody.
I felt extremely optimistic and said we'd come 2nd from the start of the season
To be honest, I still feel like we will and I am clinging to that hope
The other teams destined for the playoffs are out of form too, so if 3rd - 6th stays as it is, I can't see a stand out team.

29 Apr 2024 21:46:46
Agree, excellent post Woody but next time can we have paragraphs please that's a hell of a wall of text mate.

29 Apr 2024 21:48:26
Well said Woody. Agree with Baz, in that I would probs worry more if Hull were in the playoffs!

29 Apr 2024 22:14:06
Cheers Woody.

29 Apr 2024 22:35:05
Apologies 2Sheds about my lack of paragraphs, I actually thought the Ed’s did that, lazy me or what! 😂 thanks guys for the great comments. This is STILL an exciting season with lots to play for! Come on Leeds, we can do this 👍👍👍👍.

30 Apr 2024 07:08:20
It was a hard start and Farke did well to get us up there. But then the wheels came off after int break. Since then we have largely been rubbish and not in good enough form to wanna be in the play offs. And that also is farkes fault. It’s up to him to rest injured or unmotivated players and pick a fit fighting team.

30 Apr 2024 09:00:25
It’s a fair point Aus. The biggest question for me is WHY did the wheels come off after the Int Break? Another end of the season / run in capitulation?
Like others, let’s hope we really step it up again if it is to be the playoffs.

29 Apr 2024 12:47:24
Simon Kjær (AC Milan/ Denmark centreback) is on a free this summer. He's 35 but still has a couple of good years ahead of him with plenty of international and European football experience.

Played at Wolfsburg, Roma, Lille, Sevilla, Atalanta and AC.

Would be worth an enquiry.

29 Apr 2024 14:12:01
How deep do our scouts go?
Sometimes I think a few posters on here have more idea of vfm.
There have been some knowledgeable suggestions from posters on here.

29 Apr 2024 14:37:09
A good few years ago now, but Jamie Vardy was under our noses at Halifax Town and he went to Fleetwood!

29 Apr 2024 18:57:21
Victor Johanson available for £1m, Rotherham are willing to sell since their relegation
Personally, he is a decent keeper but didn't have a great defence in front of him this season.

29 Apr 2024 19:11:03
A good gk is crucial to success Leeroy, agree on Johanson.

Victor Johanson is certainly far, far better than Gashlier. I recommended him last
season and this season!

If Leeds previous DoF had had a clue and had signed Johanson ( or of similar quality) last season

Then Leeds United would never have been R last season

and be safe and sound this season too.

Alternatively, if Johanson had signed this season Leeds would be going up.

29 Apr 2024 19:16:10
With 17 clean sheets, our cack keeper is still going to win the Golden Glove.

29 Apr 2024 19:28:43
Bright lol that ole chestnut head wobbler 😀

Facts are Gashlier is way down (17th) in Champo on actual saves per shots fella amongst Champo gks

Many of those " clean sheets " he literally did NOT have a shot to save.

More often than not when opponents do get ball on target it ends in the net.

Most recent match for example

QPR 5 shots on target .4 goals.

29 Apr 2024 20:12:07
I've seen the same stas regarding Meslier.
He was talked about at length during a recent podcast and how the clean sheets were mainly down to the defence
So its no coincidence that the defence is struggling and the goals are being shipped.

29 Apr 2024 20:21:51
What Baz said. Polo Mintier is like a drunk dwarf working in logistics but about to be sacked. Can't face shots 🍸, 4 foot 6 not 6 foot 6 and his distribution garbage 🗑️.

29 Apr 2024 21:08:00
Spot on Leeroy and Georgey

Rodon, Ampadu and Gruev have been the major force behind " clean sheets" in keeping Meslier with as little to do as possible.

A big shout out also to the top high quality excellent analysis of Leeds United content creators

The 3 best in my opinion are

Locky ; Ger of the View and Kagey.

29 Apr 2024 21:51:54
I do agree about the lad from Rotherham tho, and also said the same last season. Not arguing with any of those stats there Baz, as it would be daft.
What it does say tho, is that something has gone awry with what was the best defence in the division, since the internationals.

29 Apr 2024 22:17:58
Baz, Why do you omit Conor from your top 3? He's really built a channel and fanbase including many from overseas. Kagey excellent and Locky certainly knowledgeable.

29 Apr 2024 22:20:19
Bright Adverse impact from 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 international loss and not qualifying. Farke ought to have seen their decline coming - tiredness, disappointment. Should have been given a rest.

29 Apr 2024 23:07:24
George . Connor is good and been around a long time . I just rate the other 3 ( a bit) more.

By the way in terms of numbers of subscriptions ) Ger of the View has had a truly remarkable season. and will soon surpass even the long established Connor in subscriptions.

30 Apr 2024 02:54:45
Baz Fair dos. Ger has also done well. His channel very newsy.

30 Apr 2024 09:03:43
But George, if he had rested the Welsh contingent, we would have Cressy and Coops at the mid back. Not going to really change the run of results we have had?

28 Apr 2024 21:06:53
Well peeps innit, I would just like to say, through several pints I have been on this site since the Brian MacDermott era I think, probably. The days of Survivor, of course George was there, also my very great virtual buddy Mad Mick on his scooter with a shell suit, whenst was born UTWDTP. Love an miss him very lots. The GFH era, the King of Corn. But, my point is, this site has been a constant in my life since then. A part of my family with valued contributors, whatever I say is meant from the heart and not as inflammatory or contradictory personally. As I have said many times we are a family and squabbles happen. But nothing is personal, just my opinion as all others have theirs. We are Leeds and it is unique, that is why all others are jealous, they don't have it so tear us down so they can sleep easy. On on on siblings, the future is bright, the future is WHITE ❤.

28 Apr 2024 18:28:19
Been trying not to think about Leeds until I have to next week.

So I was thinking about a question I could ask a knowledgeable statistician like 🤔 Google or Copilot 😁 They didn't have an answer.

I asked this question: Which British football club has supplied the most English national team managers?

Maybe I should have changed it to "the most managers to manage England" 🤔

What I mean for example is MK Dons have never had one of their managers poached to manage England.

Just wondering which club has supplied England with the most managers over the years?

See you also forgot about Leeds for 5 minutes, don't you feel relaxed and optimistic 😁.

28 Apr 2024 18:53:05
Ipswich 2 iconic managers poached Sir Alf Ramsey and Sir Bobby Robson I wish FA had poached McKenna last summer ☀️.

28 Apr 2024 19:46:54
Leeds. Don and Wilko?

28 Apr 2024 20:54:04
Corky I think and original poster was alluding to poaching directly from the club

Sir ( Sir from my perspective) Howard Wilkinson wasn't employed as Leeds manager directly before he became caretaker England manager.

28 Apr 2024 16:46:47
I wonder which players Russell Martin will utilise against us at the weekend 🤔🤔
More importantly, we Daniel Farke be nieve and play them with a strong team, or will he be sensible and play fringe players and rest the regulars for the playoffs.

28 Apr 2024 17:49:11
That would really depend on what happens on Tuesday I guess.

28 Apr 2024 18:27:38
And even more importantly Leeroy

If it is indeed to be playoffs what is DF gonner do about his non existent midfield

Put our best mf Amps back in midfield?

Recall Kamara?

Play 3 in midfield?

Put AG back at RB?

It needs remedying asap.

28 Apr 2024 19:07:58
A little bit premature Leeroy mate.
Even In saying that we still need our best team out just in case a miracle happens and Huddersfield beat you know who.
If we are to make changes I’d bring Cooper, yes Cooper back in and put Amps back in midfield alongside Kamara.

Archie RB. Bamford if fit up top if not fit Joseph. Rutter needs dropping so if James fit he should come in with Gnonto playing number 10.
One last point. I’d like Creswell to play but he’s probably more rusty than Bazzas balls so a bit risky for him to come in at this stage of the season.

28 Apr 2024 19:20:55
I totally agree Baz.
Obviously Coventry v Ipswich result will have some bearing, but if we have nothing to play for on Saturday surely the fringe players should be on the pitch.

28 Apr 2024 20:38:06
We shouldn’t forget, Huddersfield pulled off that unexpected win against West Brom that confirmed our promotion last time.

28 Apr 2024 20:38:49
Leeroy yes DF needs to utilise his bench

Joffy, Cressy, Antony MJ should all have played far more .

As a tricky peedy RW in my prime I too am available for selection if DJ isn't fit yet.

28 Apr 2024 20:47:24
The midfield quandary is a huge question Baz. Honestly do not know what he will do. Not enough threat from any of the contenders, and therefore too much pressure / too many men on Gio.

28 Apr 2024 21:06:45
It is premature Corky, but I thought I'd ask the question
I totally agree with playing Coops, moving Ampadu into midfield and I'd pop Archie back as RB unless Connor Roberts is fit to play
Rutter can have a rest, play Paddy and Piroe up top with Joseph coming on at HT.

28 Apr 2024 22:20:21
Am I right in hearing baz say df should change his tactics, now I fully agree but more chance of platting fog, not once all season has df played anything else the 4 2 3 1. No wonder teams know how to play against us sorry guys starting to sound like a broken record ⏺️.

29 Apr 2024 00:21:26
Team and tactics for Saturday will entirely depend on the result tomorrow night.

29 Apr 2024 06:17:57
He played Archie in Midfield against Blackburn and QPR, it wasn’t because of Archie we lost those games but at the moment it’s not because he plays in midfield that we will have a positive result.
If fact Amps and Archie playing in their unfamiliar positions saw us go through a eleven game winning streak, explain that?
We have a lot of very talented young players in our squad who unfortunately at the crunch time haven’t shown their experience, because they simply don’t have any to not control their nerves and continue what they had been doing so well up to the international break.
Sadly we only have Bamford as our soul senior player who has been at the club long enough to help and encourage the youngsters through this crucial period on the pitch.

Farke can give them all the encouragement off the pitch but he can’t do it on it. The youngsters have done brilliantly this season and we can only hope if we don’t go up that the club is able to hold onto them, if they do I have no doubt we would end up Champions of this cursed league next season.

But whilst there’s still a chance of promotion I’m still backing Farke and his young charges to do the job, even if it’s the play offs.
For the posters who don’t want to believe and support Leeds Utd which includes our players and coach, please do not respond to my post and likewise I will not respond to yours.
MOT sometimes
ALAW sometimes.

29 Apr 2024 17:07:47
OP we can all hope even us negative poster and did you not know that pig can fly😂😂😂.

29 Apr 2024 19:11:57
Whitey also uniciorns, pixies and fairies 😀.

29 Apr 2024 20:46:37
I agree OP. We can still do it this year but of not then next is fine.

29 Apr 2024 22:22:33
Next millennium all good with me when construction 🏗️🚧 costs are exorbitant and free transfers actually cost half a billion pounds.

28 Apr 2024 14:49:47
Afternoon siblings, salutations. We'll, seems to me this season we have gone full circle on this form. Initially portents of doom and lucky to survive to heightened optimism and joy at our run. Now back to criticism and frustration. Sniping at and scoring points off fellow family ain't going to achieve anything, negativity only breeds negativity. This season was all about steadying the ship and rebuilding. But we are in a great place. Should we end up in the playoffs then our destiny is still in our hands. Now is the time for unity and support, the ride ain't finished so don't jump off. We are Leeds and whatever happens we always will be, we always take the hard road but that is why success is so satisfying. UTWDTP I am off to the pub 😁❤.

28 Apr 2024 15:15:56
Sugar coating the situation or disagreeing

The only people that can sort it are DF and the players.

28 Apr 2024 15:48:42
Vid are you pals with Rishi by any chance? 🤣.

28 Apr 2024 16:06:43
Chrissy. don't mention the 'R" word 🤣.

Maybe pals with the Dalai Lama though 😀

But in all seriousness Vid you are a good uber positive chap fair play
whilst still very refreshingly giving yesterday a fair, reasoned critique on QPR match.

Fair play.

28 Apr 2024 16:11:27
Lol, absolutely not Chris, just a bit sort happy to still be alive on a friday night rather than being bitter I didn't win the Euro millions. Pink an breathing is always a good place to start.

28 Apr 2024 16:20:07
CC 👋👍.

28 Apr 2024 17:45:23
I just don’t get it why is it that having an opinions on here that are not in line with others is negative criticism frustration point scoring and all the other ridiculous you not a Leeds fan, it’s a bit like politics you see it one way we see it another As negative fan see it’s doom we had it in our hand after a bad start come back after a Break and we are rubbish we just need to win to games and who knows. I will now be very negative I don’t see us in the PL next season and believe it will be a crap next season so post what you like about being negative because I don’t give a monkeys.

28 Apr 2024 18:10:37
Hear hear Whitey very well said.

28 Apr 2024 18:10:48
And there ladies and gentleman is self suffering in its full glory, transferrance of one's own angst onto another to alleviate the frustration.

28 Apr 2024 18:49:17
Who would have known that you had a touch of Sigmund Freud also in you Vid, 🤣

Hark at you, knowing so much about me, despite not even knowing what I even look like 🤣🤣🤣

Superman hadn't those powers pal.

28 Apr 2024 19:08:13
Good post Whiteman, I for one do not think you are being negative and I respect your opinion and in some ways I agree. To be honest I haven’t got a clue about what will happen this season never mind next season but what I do know is that I will still be a Leeds fan no matter where we are! 🤷🤷 Good post though mate 👍👍.

28 Apr 2024 19:13:05
Absolutely love Vids posts. Puts things into perspective.
A lovely gracious reply too Baz. I’m proud of ya mate.

28 Apr 2024 19:57:52
Thank you all for your comments, for what is the worth of anything without sharing x.

28 Apr 2024 20:41:17
Cheers 🍻 Corky.

29 Apr 2024 06:28:00
So if you want to see everything including when we lose in a negative way then that’s acceptable but if someone like myself who doesn’t it’s not acceptable?
To explain Whiteman, in football sometimes you lose or draw games, it does happen.
Unlike you Woody I can’t respect fans who don’t support their club when we have a bad period and are only singing when we are winning.
Fickle.

29 Apr 2024 15:01:34
We are not all of the same opinion about the why’s and wherefores OP but we are all Leeds fans! I’m a very optimistic half glass full man but even I am dumbfounded as to how we have ended up so defeated from the jaws of victory, it has been such a capitulation since the international break that a few of us are scratching our heads in disbelief! There are some on here that will say they predicted this but it is what it is and like I posted no matter what I will always believe in Leeds and support them in every way through thick and thin in ups and downs! 👍👍.

29 Apr 2024 17:29:27
Woody excellent post mate even us meaning me negative are still a true supporter of out club but some would still say we were in the premier League if we were in division two can’t see the wood for the trees never mind you have to pity pity them they still thing gold grows on trees.

29 Apr 2024 17:34:35
OP never ask for your respect I don’t as I said give a monkeys what you or anyone else things a true supporter would see the good and bad about the things they support unfortunately you brain can’t cope with that😌.

29 Apr 2024 19:32:14
Woody and Whitey good rational reasonable, logical, sensible non blinkered posts.

29 Apr 2024 20:59:29
Thanks Baz👍.

29 Apr 2024 22:25:20
LUIFC 🤍💛💙 Leeds United Immune From Criticism. You love 😘, OP?

30 Apr 2024 06:38:55
Criticism where it’s due, Farke does not deserve the slamming of some on here.
If we did not have the chaos that Farke unfortunately inherited at the start of the season, we would have won this league.

Sadly there are some of you who are blinkered in your views and only want to see it your way so that you can moan and complain about realistically a very good season considering.

I’m not looking for you to change your opinions because I would be wasting my time. Most of you who are against our coach have made your feelings quite clear for most of this season and you quite clearly also want him sacked. I’m absolutely 100% certain that if we are not promoted this season, we will be the next.

For me I can see that even if we are promoted now, there will be some who will still find a way to complain and moan and demand that Farke be sacked.
That will be all down to your blind and unfair so called criticism.

28 Apr 2024 13:41:44
What happened to piroe?
I've been think why has Joel not worked this season at Leeds.
Was it extra pressure? A semi big move to a big club can get into the head of a player. Expectations are higher and the pressure a footballer puts on himself can be greater.
Is it the different system or different role?
Having watched his goals for Swansea there are a lot of him just stood in the box an the ball played to him or arriving in the box late. Maybe our players are just not looking for him in the same way.
Being a big fish in a little pond at Swansea Maybe their forwards looked always to play him in?
Maybe he hasn't integrated into the group very well or is a bit of an outsider.
Or maybe the intensity of playing at a top side means he cannot find the same space as he did.
Anyway it has not worked. I think most of us had him top scorer this year. Will farke persist with him next term or is he destined for a loan etc.

28 Apr 2024 14:14:00
How about putting DF out on loan next season!

28 Apr 2024 17:19:28
🪝 Yes and to your neck of the woods.
