Thread | Top 5 grounds I am excited about going to next season
at 13:45 5 Jun 2024
1. Boscombe - If he's playing for us, Fraser would get a battering from their lot. I would love him to score an injury-time winner and then really milk it in front of their fans.
2. Brentford - not done their new ground
3. Palace - always enjoyed going there; I love the earthy feel of the place.
4. Ipswich - best atmosphere of last season outside the play-off games, I thought. We owe them a stuffing or two.
5. Chelsea - I like the safe standing there; decent atmosphere in the away end. Drank in Fulham when we last played there, which I would recommend.
Forest also gets a notable mention; not been there in many a year.
Fulham is OK as well. Although I don't get as excited about going there as many others seem to. |

Thread | Top 5 grounds I am not excited about going to next season
at 13:34 5 Jun 2024
1. Wolves - I really hate that away end; deliberately positioned to ensure no atmosphere.
2. Newcastle - great night out; and there it ends.
3. West Ham - decent craft beer place nearby; and there it ends.
4. Everton - it's just a bloody awful view; and we usually lose, unless we have a genius like Nathan Jones in charge.
5. Man. City - well, it would be a tough game...... |

Thread | Top 5 goals of the Season
at 12:09 2 Jun 2024
Put together in a bit of a rush, but here goes....
1. Rothwell v Huddersfield (home)
2. Armstrong v Leeds (Wembley)
3. Fraser v Hull (away)
4. Brooks v Birmingham (away)
5. Walker-Peters v Preston (away)
Probably missed out a few which should have been included, in truth. |

Thread | Oriol Romeu
at 07:37 29 May 2024
This talk of signing ex-players like Lallana and Ings.
Both over the top.
Romeu played 28 games for Barca this season, so clearly still somewhere near his prime, even at 32.
He is absolutely one of the first players I would be looking for us to sign.
If we could tempt him to leave Barca, that is…. |

Thread | Sunday is NOT "a good day out"
at 08:26 23 May 2024
As the title says.
This is the biggest game for the club since Swansea away in May 2018.
This is a chance to cement a winning mentality and to shape the destiny of the club for the next 5-10 years.
Lose, and we risk being in the doldrums for a number of years, possibly overtaken by the shower up the road.
Win, and we could stabilise the club within the Prem and get back towards the heady days of Koeman.
I hate a lot about the Prem, particularly the detestable way that VAR sucks the joy out of the game.
However, to use a tent analogy, with the Prem the lesser of two evils is to be on the inside pissing out than on the outside pissing in.
Please do not go to the game on Sunday with the mentality that if we lose it has been a good day out. We have to be far better than that; Leeds fans will not be like that.
Roar the lads on to victory and get us out of the wilderness as a club.
We simply HAVE to win. [Post edited 23 May 8:33]

An atmosphere to rival that tomorrow night would do me.
Even Strachan, notoriously hard to please when it came to support from the fans, said we were good that day. |

Thread | Pyros / Drums etc. on Friday
at 13:17 14 May 2024
Is everybody on here completely against this?
Are we just all too old on here?
I personally quite like the Legia Warsaw approach of going ridiculously over the top with flares in the ground. But that will obviously never happen over here.
The pyros thing by the Ted Bates statue. Yeah, fine if loads turn up, but it's going to be sh1t if it's just a couple of dozen nippers, and we'll be a laughing stock.
Do not want drums, clappers or any of that sh1t in the ground.
Just pure loud noise from fans' mouths from the moment the players walk out until the final whistle.
Doesn't need to be singing, just be loud. It's not that hard.
Nobody mucking about on phones during the game.
That'll do me. |

Thread | Play-offs - physical approach and shithousery
at 12:11 10 May 2024
God knows why, but I notice the Echo have today been re-living the horrors of the 2007 play-off defeat to Derby.
In addition to remembering:-
- the rain at Derby
- our away fans being superb
- Leon Best being a disaster
- Derby's fans being arseholes
my main memory was the thuggishness of Derby on the pitch, kicking Bale and Kenwyne Jones out of the tie in the first leg, much of their dirty stuff going unnoticed by officials.
I think we have to be massively prepared for more of the same against West Brom.
Corboran is a wily character, and he will know that their best chance of beating us is to bully and initimidate us, and to really be in our faces.
Set pieces will also be a big tactic for them, monster long throws etc etc.
If we don't stand up to all of this, it may very possibly not end well for us. |

He played for Barcelona, him.
Astonishing.
Easily Leeds’ worst player.
Just hope they keep him in the team for the play-offs. |

Thread | Crowd of less than 25,000 looming for play-off semi home leg
at 09:16 28 Apr 2024
Unless the Club do something bold with pricing (£15 or less).
The play-offs were always my favourite week of the season to watch games on TV (as a neutral); often so much excitement in games with big atmospheres.
However, the feeling I get is that a lot of fans just want the season to end now, and extending it by another couple of weeks is just prolonging the angst.
A real shame. |

Thread | Suspensions - play-offs
at 08:40 27 Apr 2024
How does it work with suspensions?
Do they roll over into the play-offs?
Thinking of the implications of any 3-match bans for a straight red card today or next Saturday…..(or a red card next Saturday for 2 yellows). |
