Just to illustrate the widening gap between Championship and EPL, last season 🤍💙💛 conceded a whopping record 78 goals in the EPL. The statistic shocked many. This season the 3 relegated clubs (all of whom were the promoted clubs from the previous season) conceded at least 78 goals or more. #mindthegap.

City sucking the life outta football.
If they're not cheating, then I am Donald Trump's lovechild + heir to the penthouse in Trump Towers.

Indeed Chris.

Dillinger has submitted an article entitled, EFL SIGNINGS FOR LEEDS UNITED
19 May 2024 16:06:11
Nice one Dil. Time will tell what market we are destined to be looking in.
19 May 2024 16:08:53
Dill Exceptional article. 👍.
19 May 2024 16:36:41
Interesting suggestions Dill
The AM/ CAM signing for me will be a very important one.
Coventry's O'Hare would want a higher league club than Champo .
19 May 2024 17:32:54
Tell yer what this EPL malarkey amf English football super easy for Sir Nostra Baz predictions
Citeh win league : check
Citeh win cups : check
Luton, Burnley, and Sheff U relegated; check
Leicester win Champo: check
Leeds in playoffs : check
Only the farmer transport surprised one.
19 May 2024 18:38:49
Baz There was one but only one not prediction as such but opinion you gave this season which was wildly wrong and I criticized you at the time. It was during a game and a live game chat. Do you remember whom it concerned? It was actually very funny 😅.
19 May 2024 19:03:40
Leeds in the playoffs? Maybe I'm wrong, but I’m pretty sure you said mid table Bazza?
19 May 2024 19:37:03
Georgey, I think you may be alluding to earlier in season:
your sweetheart Cre " Jimmy Summerville being over rated.
Yes he turned out to be our top scorer this season, but this is slow Championship level defenders; he will get found out a tad in the EPL by the power, pace and strength of quite a few EPL defenders.
So 'wildly wrong'? no Georgey.
19 May 2024 19:41:25
Another excellent article, Dill. In fact, it's so good that I'm not going to lose sleep if we don't go up - providing of course, those in charge take your advice and recruit at least half of your suggestions. :)
19 May 2024 20:50:56
No Corky
at end of Summer window ( when all ins and outs
confirmed) so one knows who is in our squad for sure I stated Leeds United would finish 6th.
19 May 2024 20:59:23
Excellent article Dill and some names I hadn’t previously considered, whichever league we end up playing in I think there will be multiple changes.
19 May 2024 21:34:20
Baz Correct. You stated his issue is a "lack of end product". 3 minutes later he found the Robert McCall. It was at Carrow Road. Then went on to score the winner.
Disagree slightly on his future EPL experience. He's matured, will be playing alongside superior players in a superior playing style and system (not Marsch ball) and with the right coaching can learn how to outwit the top level defenders. He can become a 14 g/ a player in the EPL in George's opinion.
19 May 2024 21:52:46
This was your prediction Baz for the league in September.
Check, one result right Man City win league, that was a real tough guess, congrats fella 👍
That big horn of yours does sound like a little fart! 🤣
25 Sep 2023 11:20:06
It will be interesting to see ( with next season perhaps) which 3 teams finish 15th, 16th. and 17th
I am going for
1st Citeh
2nd Liverpool
3rd Saudi Barcodes
4th Spuds
5th Gooners
6th Brighton
7th Vile
8th Hammers
9th Man U
10th Chelsea
11th Forest
12th Everton
13tb Fulham
14th Palace
15th. Brentford
16th Bournemouth
17th Wolves
18th Burnley
19th Blades
20th Luton.
19 May 2024 23:16:16
Fair enough Georgey re Jimmy in EFL
Time will tell re Jimmy at much higher EPL level.
19 May 2024 23:21:17
OP yep Citeh were a predictable shoe in for 1st
That was the point of the post
as were the bottom 3 a shoe in Burnley, Sheff U and Luton . albeit Luton did a bit better than expected . but still relegated.
19 May 2024 00:17:25
Leeds are confirmed as the home team and will play in white ❤️
MOT.
19 May 2024 11:00:18
Great news! I was dreading us turning out in that dire pink kit.
19 May 2024 14:08:36
I was bought the pink top for a xmas present and have won 99% of our games while wearing it, so I've got to wear it to Wembley to hopefully keep the run going 🤞.
19 May 2024 14:45:05
You wear it then Farsley!
18 May 2024 22:19:58
Alleged Leeds target Rotherham keeper Johansson has signed for Stoke.
18 May 2024 22:50:35
Good 👍.
19 May 2024 09:26:50
The way I view Meslier now is he's ours, part of the Leeds United family, warts and all. He is still relatively young in goalkeeping terms and therefore can and will improve as he matures.
19 May 2024 09:35:34
We don’t need him we have Meslier?
Unless for back up as Darlow is not the standard for Leeds Utd.
19 May 2024 10:31:36
He had a good game last outing and if he can maintain that form then def keep him.
But historically he is a liability so I would sell both out keepers for an upgrade 👍.
19 May 2024 10:58:22
Darlow has turned out to be a big disappointment. His performances in the League Cup were dodgy to say the least.
19 May 2024 11:47:03
I agree with you Aus but I also agree with OP and Cheshire. Baz does like him and I also understand why. When he’s on form he’s really good, but when’s not he’s terrible and that’s the trouble, we don’t know who will turn up. He’s young and still has to learn so much and with good displays comes confidence, but again his bad displays really do affect him. So in all honest I’m on the fence with this one, but I do like him and he is a good stopper just very prone to bad games! 🤷🤷.
19 May 2024 12:27:38
Hmm Mes makes ONE save and suddenly he is prime Gordon Banks to a few 😆
Mes is a number 2 ; Sentimental Leeds FC got relegated on such naive sentiment
Meanwhile teams like Vile who aren't sentimental with their squad and make excellent ruthless decisions with recruitment/ replacement of coach and team are Champions Leagues.
19 May 2024 13:52:09
Mes should go he has made a hash lots of times everyone has moaned and groaned about him now he is the best thing since sliced bread and as for darlow when we signed him I moaned and groaned 5th choice Newcastle keeper we were having a laugh it is a very weak area and something needs to be done promotion or not.
19 May 2024 14:45:58
Indeed Oldbri in the EPL a very good gk is vital for all teams but especially newly promoted teams
New Leeds United number 1 must be recruited this summer ( especially if Leeds are promoted )
19 May 2024 16:07:53
Dil mentions Patterson from Sunderland in his article, and is another good shout imo.
19 May 2024 18:41:53
With ascension to the EPL, sales of the deserters, backing from a superior financial entity and a much improved scouting team, the scene is set for a prosperous summer window. Just win at Wembley.
18 May 2024 16:26:26
Jeez, I hate Saturdays without football!
18 May 2024 17:22:10
I know you are not a fan of Women's football 1970 . neither am I
But I was taken aback by the following sentence just now on Beebs website
' Man U women parading the FA cup in front of the home Man U fans (Man U having just been beaten SIX nil ⚽️ at home to ( confirmed Champions) Chelsea in league.
Slightly damp squib celebration timing by the Manx one would suggest?
18 May 2024 18:06:02
I understand the gals wanting to play etc, i I just wish they had separate sports pages. Occasionally you see a headline, are surprised and then it turns out it’s about the gals.
18 May 2024 19:57:17
I watch quite a lot of Bundesliga, so I watched Leverkusen game earlier. They're so enjoyable to watch.
Boxing should be fun tonight, too.
I've taken Usyk rounds 10-12 @ 14/ 1.
Anyone else watching later?
18 May 2024 22:49:53
I will be watching Dilli, I’ve got Fury in round 4 and 5 👍.
19 May 2024 08:44:52
Plenty of Gallagher premiership yesterday, 👍.
19 May 2024 08:46:15
Nice win on Usyk Dill 👏🏻👏🏻.
18 May 2024 12:04:08
Does anyone know can we play in White? What decides it.
18 May 2024 12:57:34
Haven’t read anything Vid, given the colours of the two teams home kits I would think there’s no reason as to why both cannot wear their home strip.
Must be in white, please not pink!
18 May 2024 13:21:05
Absolutely Class, must be White. On the fixture we are the home team, also finished 3rd and got to the final first so surely that means we play in our iconic colours?
18 May 2024 13:22:39
Saints in red Leeds in white no problem.
18 May 2024 13:54:46
Glow in tge dark anyone?
Just kidding.
18 May 2024 16:31:20
Seemed to work ok in 1972.
18 May 2024 11:12:20
Ugly scene's after last night's game.
Who'd have thought Southampton would have idiots happy to throw away their opportunity of being at Wembley next weekend.
18 May 2024 11:45:21
Disgraceful Leeroy especially after they won!
Fortunately for Saints they do not play in white, but if the disgruntled Devon lot antagonise our own supporters next Sunday we will be automatically demoted to the National league.
All joking aside, sadly it’s becoming a bigger issue back within the game.
18 May 2024 12:26:55
Any links? Not seen anything?
18 May 2024 13:50:46
Absolute numpty clown Southampton fans
they get through a play off SEMI final by embarrasingly having a pitch invasion🤨🤡
and then go to West Brom fans section to goad and fight them. 🤯
Ban Southampton fans from Wembley
Better still ban Southampton FC from playoff final .
18 May 2024 18:13:32
I have seen the footage, ugly scenes as the Southampton fans went across the pitch to goad the WBA I bet more would have been said if it had happened on Thursday. I wonder if guest of honour Sunak witnessed it.
18 May 2024 19:32:28
I remember sat in the west stand at Elland Road when we played Ipswich Town when they relegated us and a lot of Leeds fans ran over to the old away stand in the corner next to the south stand and started doing the same as what the Southampton fans did last night! I thought times had changed but it’s still there isn’t it but the difference now is that they do it when they win, can you imagine what they would have done if they had lost! 😞 😞.
18 May 2024 19:54:38
Saints West v Brom link
18 May 2024 09:27:58
Was very hopeful of a mate getting me into his companies hospitality box for Wembley but he just called me this morning to say people are offering thousands to get in there with two lifelong Leeds fans coming over from New Zealand, supposedly paying £5k each! For a seat in the box, Mrs Class wouldn’t approve that much!
Think Southampton actually suits us better than baggies as with the size of Wembley hoping for a lot more space for Gio.
Probably be won and lost in midfield battle so Gruev and Kamara have to both have their best games of the season.
Looking forward to an exciting game and I hope we take a Bielsa approach and attack attack and attack.
We were missing Rodon at St Mary’s and there was a strange atmosphere for the recent home defeat but our confidence will be sky high after Norwich.
Irrespective of the result think Farke deserves a huge amount of credit for this season starting with the rats jumping ship and getting the second youngest team to this stage,
I think is a brilliant effort and hopefully his experience will tip the difference when we need it most next Sunday.
18 May 2024 11:46:29
Class post Class, totally agree with all your points and yes, I think the pitch will suit us to a tee, Cree Willy and Gio will love exploiting the space. So excited I could burst already, it's going to be a long week! UTWDTP MOT to a spectacular end of the season and everyone can see what Leeds means and are ❤.
18 May 2024 11:59:25
Is Wembley really that much bigger than most or is that most likely a myth? Probably way bigger than teams like QPR and Fulham as they seem to have tiny pitches but as for most clubs I dunno.
Anyway still going to smash them saints!
18 May 2024 13:29:43
Heres a surprising fact re Wembley pitch size
it's virtually the same size as many clubs pitches lol 🤣
Wembley stadium pitch size 105 metres long and 69 metres wide
Leeds United AND Southampton pitch size 105 metres long by 68 metres wide
* the Wembley stadium has been narrowed this millennium.
18 May 2024 13:43:00
* Wembley pitch has been narrowed.
18 May 2024 13:53:49
Psychologically they will feel they have an advantage over us because obviously they beat us home and away this season. But what they might not configure is that at the early game of the season we were still in disarray with who was staying or leaving and new players to bed in. The more recent game that we lost was at a low ebb in our confidence and we knew that autos was very unlikely.
They are going to be in for a surprise this time round I feel with their false sense of advantage over us.
Having said that they are a good team with a decent squad, it will I’m sure be a very hard fought match between the two sides.
19 May 2024 01:40:05
Really good points OP and I also think we will go into this game with renewed confidence and so much more belief than when we went into both games with Southampton, but whatever happens and whatever the result I will be just happy if we turn up and play like we did against Norwich 🙂🙂👍🤞.
18 May 2024 07:41:05
I did see somewhere that the police are aware of the problem next weekend and have drafted in more troops.
It was bad planning really but Spose they thought we would get auto promotion and mancs had no chance of getting to a final.
The obviously solution would have been to just sell the final tickets to city. But damage done now.
I do fear that there will be trouble. When they lose they will be looking to cause some bother.
Just hope we are jubilant and don't get involved.
