I see Kieran McKenna is a gonner.
Rob Andrews sacked by Wolves.
Rob Andrews to be appointed Ipswich Manager?
1.) 11 Jun 2026 13:08:57
Gonner Ani, it's a sad dayyy for tractor lurvers. ?
But potentially good news for LUFC.. both Hull and Ipswich have very tough seasons ahead, perhaps.. hopefully Frankie's Coventry too.

Smart man, mck.
It's as good as it gets.
Lamps, not the smarts, thankfully.

Arsenal had the lowest possession of a Champions League finalist, since the last time they were a Champions League finalist!
How they decided to play that way is unbelievable!
1.) 31 May 2026 11:55:41
Shocking, wasn't it! And I hate those stuttering run ups on penalties! It puts the player off balance more than it puts the keeper off. They deserved to lose with those tactics tho.
2.) 31 May 2026 12:12:31
After just winning the PL and feeling on a high, I expected Arsenal to have a real go last night, having nothing to lose. But, to play as they did in such a negative fashion, they got exactly what they deserved. Nothing.
3.) 31 May 2026 12:21:06
No Arsenal fan, but in 2006 you can excuse it by Lehmann being sent off, so lack of possession was then understandable.
4.) 31 May 2026 12:29:10
Gooners eras under Arsene Wenger, Bertie Mee and Terry Neill played mostly very attractive, entertaining football..
Not so under Georgie Graham, and even less so under Arteta.
Unpleasant, unlikeable, dull to watch, this Arteta Gonners side..
Very effective on the dark arts, set pieces.
But, in my opinion, one of the worst footballing teams to win the league title in the past 6 decades.
5.) 31 May 2026 12:31:13
..And still can't fathom how Farke's Leeds United rolled over not once but twice for this Gooners side.
Conceding 9 goals in 2 matches to that team was ridiculous.
Change of mentality needed.. or change of manager.
6.) 31 May 2026 14:15:41
That is baffling. How my dad's Gooners creamed us both times. No other team did. They slaughtered us, but hey.
He is 86 yrs old and has waited over 20 yrs for this. I'm happy for him.
7.) 31 May 2026 18:08:48
Arsenal have little threat up front and decided to let PSG have the ball and hope to snatch a goal from a breakaway, a set piece or one of the occasional times they had the ball in the PSG half. They are good defensively but won't be a very good team until they find a top class striker.
They've tried and paid big money but not found the answer.
In our two encounters this season with the Gunners, the players were either rabbits in the headlights or headless chickens. Those were the only two occasions when we surrendered before we walked on the pitch. Don't ask me why.
26 Apr 2026 18:18:12
Well at least I am not faced with the dilemma of getting to Wembley in a few weeks.
Wonder how many will watch the FA Cup outside the finalist?
It will be known as the F**+ all Cares match.
1.) 26 Apr 2026 18:49:32
Citeh vs Chelsea deja vu type final. Ho hum.
A Leeds United vs Southampton final would have been refreshingly different, and more interesting, I guess, for many neutrals.
Shame.
2.) 26 Apr 2026 18:50:14
A game with 2 horrible clubs.
3.) 26 Apr 2026 21:52:15
I guess my only interest in the final is a loose interest in Erling doing well as a Leeds lad. Hopefully he can bang a few past them that would be very satisfying.
4.) 26 Apr 2026 22:56:54
Agree with Vid, Leeds United v Southampton would have been a much greater spectacle for the neutral.
Sat in the pub watching it with a load of Forest fans, even an Arsenal and Man Utd fan, and they were all for Leeds winning, so now we have a final between two of the most corrupt teams in the world of football.
This says to me that most of the football fans out there want football to prevail.
Now I know it may sound like sour grapes, but we didn't do ourselves justice today. but overall we won Wembley with the fans that showed up today travelling down there when their lot can't be arsed. Proud of my football club, the best in the world by a country mile. MOT.

Last night was disappointing no doubt and as an old supporter. I yearn for a cup run. Aside from anything else, it’s a distraction from what is going to be a long old EPL season.
Nonetheless, by means of providing some balance to the comments, I took some positives from the game.
Nmecha, looked strong and fit and worked hard.
Harrison played pretty well overall (probably our best player on the night)
DCL, is rusty, but got into position to score (and should have bagged two at least)
Bogle is fit and probably the only player reaching the right level at the moment.
Okafor looks promising.
Gnonto and James more effective against a tiring defence.
I don’t care what some of the detractors think, this team will be ok once it beds down.
1.) 27 Aug 2025 10:09:28
great points Ani.
2.) 27 Aug 2025 10:50:21
Unpopular opinion but I would keep Harrison. He has skill and plays with passion and intent, despite the environment he finds himself in.
He's potentially a better Firpo or maybe an AM?
3.) 27 Aug 2025 11:29:36
Well said Ani.
4.) 27 Aug 2025 15:40:23
It was hard to tell from the TV last night [also essentially and empty ground], but I couldn't hear any booing of Harrison. I don't think it is ever justified anyhow [just my opinion], but hopefully fans could see last night that he is prepared to put a shift in and ironically, it was one of the better games he's had for us.
Every time he got the ball, he played with urgency and often went back into our third to get the ball.
I hope he stays and convinces the fans with his performances.
24 Apr 2025 05:26:08
One of the interesting side stories for me next season, will be sentiment towards the players who “jumped ship” when we were relegated and those whose heads were surely turned before our final run in last season.
Aside from Gray, I don’t envy the likes of Harrison (unless he’s playing for us) , Summerville, Rutter, Adams, Sinisterra playing against us at Elland Road.
1.) 24 Apr 2025 07:19:13
I think Georginio is only one who well get a clap and a warm welcome. The rest will, and deserve to be, booed.
2.) 24 Apr 2025 08:30:52
Yep. Gio will be fine. The rest, Inc JH even if he remains a while, get what they deserve.
Think JH will be gone anyway, even if we have to pay some wages to get shot. Bad eggs not needed.
{Ed025's Note - please take him back Brighty.. :)
3.) 24 Apr 2025 09:02:58
Jackie, more concerned about his hairstyle than justifying his colossal wages,
Gone gone gone please ?.
4.) 24 Apr 2025 09:44:14
I actually think BA not good enough for epl (he wasn’t previously) and will be sold, Wober will be sold, because he wants to go back to Germany (he’s probably good enough for the epl as squad player)
And sadly I think Harrison will NOT be bought by Everton and will have to come back. Hopefully Fulham come back in for him, Baz makes a very valid point in terms of JH goals and assists return for us, but I’m stubbornly stuck on ‘you didn’t want us, so guess what, we don’t want you’ …. no logic to my view just stubbornness. JH can do it at EPL level but like any player that left I don’t want them back.
I’m sure most will be booed including Gio but they won’t be bothered in the slightest, there is little if any loyalty in the modern footballer, and all of them are considerably richer (currently with stronger teams) following their decision to leave us.
What concerns me more, is that old adage of ex players scoring against us…. there’s a few now.
5.) 24 Apr 2025 12:35:50
Have tne players who " jumped ship" even had good seasons with other clubs.
Jackie Harrison didn't under Dychey at toffeea and he will be back playing for Leeds this season.
Biscuit legs Sini has been injured for most parts of pasr 2 seasins with Bournrmouth
Adams was out injured for 16 months with Bournemouth, he is a very average mf
Rutter had a purple patch for Brighton but is out injured with a serious injury.
Summerville was out of his depth in EPL at West Han, had no affect and since been out injured long term for West Ham
Archie Gray played quite a lot for Spuds due to their player injuries but now us bench warming . and I repeat he is nowhere near as good as some thought. he has nowhere near the takent of his great uncle Eddie Gray.
6.) 24 Apr 2025 13:01:12
I’m not worried about the players we lost last summer as I believe we have better now apart from Gio when you compare him to Aaronson.
Manor Solomon makes J. Harrison look like a schoolboy and if he signs for Leeds United, which I can see happening then Harrison probably won’t even make the bench.
It’s no coincidence or that he doesn’t fit in at Everton, he is just simply not good enough for the Premiership.
Any Everton fan will tell you that.
A loan out or sold to a club in the MLS is the likely outcome for him.
7.) 24 Apr 2025 16:05:18
Totally agree with OP on Harrison
All hairspray no heart.
8.) 24 Apr 2025 16:22:30
Chrissie lol you seem to be obsessed bg Jackies hairstule and hairspray
Jack had plenty of heart effort application and goals and assists for LUFC.
9.) 24 Apr 2025 16:59:13
Baz, Jack did ok for us in the EPL and at times did a good job, but I view his talent level much the same as Dan James. Both good players, but often can't make the right decision / maintain composure at vital times. Both capable of crossing the ball well, but 3 out 4 times they don't / can't. A bit like promoted teams, often too good for the Championship, but not quite good enough for the Premier League. Harrison still looks lost in a poor [though improving] Everton team.
I think Solomon will be more effective for us in the EPL than Jack Harrison, but I think his season will be very much like Summerville's had been this year.
10.) 24 Apr 2025 17:45:35
Ani fair comment re JH. far more rational than the peeps who dismiss his achievements and talejg jisr because he'd rather play in EPL getting full 90K wages.
30 Nov 2025 15:33:09
Corberan…. who’s never got anyone even out of the Championship.
That would be a real backward step.
18 Aug 2025 19:52:13
Paraag said tonight that they will working for the “…. next 12-13 days trying to strengthen the team as best we can within the rules…. ”.
05 Jun 2025 08:40:08
I read somewhere Aus that we need to be reminded how short a footballer's career is and that should be considered when considering how high their pay is. By my reckoning, Ronaldo’s career only needed to last 18 minutes to equate to the average Portuguese salary.
This made sense back in the day, when the “stars” fortune was maybe 5 - 10 times the average pay, and your average player maybe 3 times etc.
These days it’s vulgar.
07 Apr 2025 11:15:35
That would be Olympic qualification standard Bright, if you could do 10k in only 47 Baz posts. I might get my shoe laces done in that time.
05 Apr 2025 15:25:43
…. or 50,000 Baz posts (on the subject) to late?
I couldn’t watch the match, but looking at the stats I suspect we struggled again.
I take some solace that we are not losing and still grinding out difficult match situations. I still think we will make it (even though I’m not sure why I want them to) ; 6 games to go, still some twists to go; who saw this form after beating the blunts, so it can still happen to the others. One or both of the top two will drop points against each other.
We’re one good result away from kicking on.
20 Jun 2026 13:55:23
To be honest, whilst I agree there have been a couple of questionable decisions, I have preferred the level and method of refereeing far more than any given weekend in the EPL.
It's been a breath of fresh air v the constant stop start crap we get most weekends.
Has anyone else appreciated the new medical breakthrough rendering near-death injuries fully cured in a few seconds; who knew, all it needed, was the referee ignoring you and / or the imminent prospect of the trainer coming on [and a minute of the side-lines].
Even VAR has almost become workable [I hate VAR].
20 Jun 2026 11:53:10
gd doesn't come into it.
20 Jun 2026 11:50:23
I guess you didn't find it funny in the Brazil game when the men struggled with it, Aus?
19 Jun 2026 16:04:14
Yes, for penalty offences, the attacker gets the advantage, but they get the same advantages during a shootout when no offence has taken place.
18 Jun 2026 16:57:38
I agree, JR. I'll deliberately risk my penalty to prove this keeper leaves his line - the prize for presenting the evidence is that you have the jeopardy of another penalty.
Forget the stutter, and forget what the keeper did or didn't do. It was a terrible penalty nonetheless, and we were pretty fortunate in my opinion.
