Makes the Arsenal game at West Ham next Sunday interesting to say the least. Did not enjoy watching Villa show so little interest tonight. Will be a real fight Monday week. ?

Hope Forest beat Vile in Euro Cup ..

Arsenal beat Spam, we're definitely safe. Even a draw, the goal difference is massive. Still think we will do it comfortably ourselves.
Hope we smash (beat) my brother supporting Spuds.

I have no concerns for us anymore, but I'll be very curious how the game will turn out against Spurs.
I think we'll put in a better effort than Villa did, with their thoughts clearly focused on another match.
I'm not sure how I'd feel as a Spurs fan, elated that they might have a chance of avoiding relegation, or cheated that their players have only just started to play with passion in the last few games of the season.
I still think they are an emotional basket case, ready to implode.
If that Villa goal had been ten minutes before the whistle went, I think the panic from them would have gone into overdrive.
I'm pretty certain it's going to be a very entertaining game.

Spuds are no longer a struggling side.
7 points out of 9 with De Zerbi.
And showing a lot of fight and talent.
5.) 04 May 2026 00:46:05
Luckily for us, we also have 3 wins in 4 games and unbeaten in 6 in the league.
6.) 04 May 2026 05:44:56
I don't think you can say Spurs are not struggling anymore when they are only one point out of the relegation zone. Anything can happen in these last few games.
The big pendulum of fate will swing not only for who will go down, but also for the title between Arsenal and Man City.
7.) 04 May 2026 06:02:31
I don't care which one of the two goes down, as long as one of them takes ownership of the last trap door spot, and quick.
To me Spuds have got a bit of momentum. Saw the highlight of spam game, and their defending was atrocious. Eenie meanie minie mow.
8.) 04 May 2026 06:06:51
OP, Spurs are doing under De Zerbi what one thought they definitely had the potential to do.. namely go on a crucial run of winning games.
Imo, Spurs are not going down.. regrettably so from our perspective!
Some peeps were far too naively dismissive of their chances of staying up!
9.) 04 May 2026 06:31:57
Like Aus, I couldn't care less who stays up or goes down, but one thing for sure is, I really want us to beat Spurs at their ground, where they have only won twice this season in the league, and one of those games was against Burnley.
Let's see how they do against a team who will put up a proper fight against them.
Then we can watch how the great De Zerbi deals with it.
10.) 04 May 2026 06:34:46
We'll counter Spuds to death, I reckon. They're going to have to come at us, so I think Farke will defo be working the boys on fast, direct break aways. Yes, the Spuds will be buoyed by their performance and the result, but their confidence will be brittle AF, and, as we've seen with our own team, a few misplaced passes / a sloppy bit of defending, etc., can undermine a lot of good work.
Gotta doff yer cap at De Zebri, tho.

Villa gifted Spurs the 3 points last night by making 7 changes.
02 May 2026 09:22:59
Last night was not a perfect display but it was without doubt a perfect result. All credit to the staff for developing such a great team spirit and self confidence. The last few league games have been tremendous and it's a shame we did not put away a very ordinary Chelsea side.
I thought the teram played better without Ba and Pascal worries me at times but all in all tremendous.
1.) 02 May 2026 09:52:57
A fair assessment, Prime. I agree regarding Struick, but I do think Aaronson has done well for us this season. I was hoping we would get a couple more when we went three up, but Burnley didn't throw the towel in. Job done. Now, let's see what the others do over the weekend.
2.) 02 May 2026 12:28:03
Prime, Aaronson has done very well for us. It's a shame that he didn't score the goal against Chelsea, but everyone will recall it and moan about him. I really don't see what he can do to get fans on his side.
Whatever happens within the coming months, I wish him all the very best, and a big thank you if he is not with us next season.
3.) 02 May 2026 12:46:02
BA has had a much better season than I expected from him. He can certainly frustrate in the final third, and can look a little lightweight at times (though I think he has improved a bit on that this season) . His form around Xmas was exceptional for a 6-7 game stretch.
His reputation suffers a bit, I think, from A. Such a high transfer fee, which he probably wasn't worth (£25m) , is symptomatic of many signings that led to relegation. The fact the club paid that much for him is not his fault.
He was one of the relegation loan departures.
And yes, he did make amends by coming back, fighting for his place, and helping us get up. That has gone a long way for me with him. He took criticism on the chin, and has done his best to prove himself.
I so, so wish he had had time with Bielsa and Pablo. They could have used his work ethic and energy very effectively, and Pablo could have been the perfect role model for, sometimes, just slowing down. Ifs, buts, and maybes. He is currently a decent player. There is a very, very good player in there, though.

I agree with Whiteman!
5.) 02 May 2026 19:07:44
I don't agree regarding Struijk. Sure, he makes mistakes sometimes, as does every player, but he's generally a steady defender. Plus, he's a powerful presence at corners and set pieces, and a good penalty taker when it comes to shoot outs. As for BA, at the start of the season, like many, I said I didn't think he was up to PL standard, but he's surprised me.
His work rate is excellent, but he gets muscled off the ball too easily and his shooting when in a scoring position is at best mediocre. Compare him with Okafor, who puts away many more of his chances. I'd be happy to keep him if Farke thinks he can still improve, but I think we may have to call time on him and look for an upgrade somewhere.
26 Apr 2026 17:53:08
I thought we should have changed formation after 15 minutes, not 45. Managers are paid big bucks to get that right. Even so, how many chance did they have - not many, and we should surely have done better with BA and DCL chances!
25 Apr 2026 17:03:56
Well, that Friday and Saturday did not go well. Looks like a fight to the last then. Good luck to the lads for tomorrow’s mammoth game ?.
23 Apr 2026 05:58:26
Great credit to the team for never giving up last night. I am sure like me many Leeds fans were about to admit that the better side on the night had pinched the points, but Longstaff's late strike won a late point, which could prove vital not only for league debut for spirit going into the semi-final.
1.) 23 Apr 2026 07:15:34
Totally agree mate, it's one more point going forward in Farke planning.
2.) 23 Apr 2026 08:59:32
Agreed, Prime.
When the "third" Bournemouth goal went in for 3 1 in injury time, I never ever imagined we would get a point.
The Leeds lads deserve credit for grabbing a late draw, and Ireola's miffed face at the final whistle was a picture.
Huge bonus point for Leeds . onto the comforting 40 points total.
Time to put the EPL to one side . to focus and win at Wembley vs auld enemy. Come on Leeds!

All credit to Southampton tonight, so far anyway, they have defended with spirit and determination ( and a little luck ) It just goes to show what can be done if you fight as if your life depends upon the result.
06 Apr 2022 21:15:53
Burnley putting Frank under pressure.
06 Apr 2022 20:53:57
Currently a draw is that best for us?
