Next round of Carabao Cup we play Newport County away which means we play them at home.

11 Aug 2017 00:47:41
Did you watch the draw George? I think that's what your post means! What a cock up that was! Did you notice on the yellow bar at the bottom they only showed the Northern ties, probably because they totally cocked up the Southern ties! One red ball one white ball, home equals red, away equals away, how hard can it be? I wonder if they will change the fixture round because the teams that were drawn out at the beginning where not home but away as the got the colours wrong! Confused so we're we! 🙃🙃

11 Aug 2017 03:44:08
Im confused now mike
Is what you are saying
All the teams that are playing away should be playing at home because the balls were mixed up?

11 Aug 2017 07:04:08
It's because Newport's pitch is being relaid and won't be ready in time apparently.

11 Aug 2017 11:21:41
When they were doing the southern draw, Julian Warren said white balls are home and red are away, Solako then pulled out one white and said home draw then five reds on the spin which were given as away but the red balls actually had a H on them! Warren then said you do know that the H means home! And somebody was telling him out of camera shot that he had ballsed it up! I think that's why they never showed the southern draw on the bottom yellow bar just the Northern! MOT

I know I'll get the usual jokes about Leeds being unjustly punished but can Michael Brown be punished for making unfounded allegations?

10 Aug 2017 22:01:37
No because he's not at Leeds anymore wrx

10 Aug 2017 22:08:58
Give Shaun a call and ask him

10 Aug 2017 22:40:29
Wex. I won't take the Michael, I never do. To answer your question maturely, I don't think anything will come of it as PV were playing Leeds.

10 Aug 2017 18:33:06
Sooooo looking forward to seeing my Leeds family Saturday from the Thames Valley Whites boys to my Norwegian friends in the peacock, be interesting to see what Team TC goes with, should have a strong bench anyway, going for another 4-1 woody 2 alioski and samu to continue his scoring streak. MOT brothers regards DJ 😎

10 Aug 2017 19:10:44
hope so DJ - enjoy.

11 aug 2017 17:18:54
i've done 3-1 . preston new manager so don't think will be as good

10 Aug 2017 17:09:15
The new banners around the outside of Elland Road stadium and they look fantastic, lots of old faces which remind you of past glories, there's one of Speedy with long hair! Great thought Radz and well smart! MOT

10 Aug 2017 18:26:19
Must mean roofe and Pontus are staying for a while as they're on the panels. can't be cheap to change them. Is Chris wood up on one of them?

10 Aug 2017 18:37:01
I think so curahee

10 Aug 2017 19:11:38
yeah Woody is one one of them

10 Aug 2017 20:02:01
Well he said staying then isn't he, unless a ridiculous offer is tabled. that has to be the proof!

10 Aug 2017 14:12:38
Watched the incident regarding "spit gate" it is exactly at the 40 minute mark in last nights game . Nothing in it what so ever, no reaction from their player or PV bench at the time . No action or motion towards PV player that would suggest that he was being spat upon. Probably some sweat as he ran past him and was partly blocked What a complete load of old tosh, absolutely farcical . Although the league will now most likely deduct us 25 points, relegate us 2 division and then promote PV to premier league as a thank you Can we recall Denton ? as they do not deserve any Leeds players following this farce . MB is being out of order suggesting we should have taken off one of our players at his request

10 Aug 2017 15:13:55
So. The referee saw nothing and the cameras saw nothing. Definitely a points deduction !

10 Aug 2017 15:25:12
Losers on every count. Never heard such codswlop Our players were affected by it. Ffs. Pussy cats without the cat.

10 Aug 2017 15:26:10
Can you imagine how many times Brown would of had to be taken off with his colourful antics! How many times do you think Chelsea listened when asked to take Costa off! Or maybe even Robbie can't play Savage! Would also just like to add a wish of good luck to MC and his takeover of Brescia, I for one will be looking out for their results, thanks MC. Also Cooper signs new four year deal, well done lad, on Sundays showing you deserve it and without Monk maybe you will flourish. MOT

10 Aug 2017 15:41:33
Good post mike
Didnt know bout mc but good luck to him.

10 Aug 2017 16:12:25
Thanks Ausman, we have a lot to be grateful for thanks to MC and taking us to a new level and then selling to Radz who will take us further. Seriously grateful to him. MOT

10 Aug 2017 13:45:15
Would be great to see Saiz and Alioski unleashed on PNE this weekend. I'm a big fan of Pablo and he played very well at Bolton but it would be hard to drop 'Spit the dog' after last nights performance. Both class acts. MM

10 Aug 2017 15:20:44
We have name by de-fault !

10 Aug 2017 12:26:07
So ref hasn't seen the alleged spitting Brown asks us to take Samu off TC points out this isn't u8s footbal Brown says his players are " distracted" by the whole thing Just like listening to his mentor warnock Always someone else's fault No brown, you and your players got schooled. If they were so upset by the alleged spitting they'd have reacted in a more " positive" way. Loved TCs steely glare at the reporter

10 Aug 2017 14:53:51
It's like groundhog day

10 Aug 2017 15:31:56
Was bill murray involved?

10 Aug 2017 10:04:09
With Green not even making the bench last night, can we assume the rumours are true and he's off to Sunderland?

10 Aug 2017 10:57:17
He was injured. MM

10 Aug 2017 12:19:31
MM. I think that is 'injured'

10 Aug 2017 13:40:43
Wow, sorry Speedy and thanks for correcting my grammar! However, I was referring to last night (as in the past tense) hence claiming he was injured. He might have recovered now so I'll stick with my original post as being correct. Thank you. Yours sincerely MM :-)

10 Aug 2017 14:24:04
I believe Speedy is correct

10 Aug 2017 14:55:36
Missing my point MM. I mean "injured" . Not necessarily injured!

10 Aug 2017 15:33:55
I got it first time again speedie. Think we should date? Unusual for mm! to be bit slow off the mark! But

10 Aug 2017 16:47:45
Sorry Speedy, having a blonde moment. Come on Mick, keep up old son! MM

10 Aug 2017 17:50:46
No worries MM. We've all been there. And kind offer Aussie. Are flights provided? And will there be a didgeridoo ?

10 Aug 2017 09:40:16
Excellent performance last night, but one thing that has gone unnoticed I feel is the absence of douk sea. I know he wasn't great last season but he was an expectancy on the team sheet. With Dallas and roofe stepping up and ekuban coming in, do we feel doukara isn't in TC's plans anymore? He's a great lad but not such a great performer, if we're playing like this he will soon be forgotten about. Hopefully he steps it up in training, if not it's a long way back. Also realised today with a fully fit squad we have 2 very able starting XI in our ranks, which of these would you prefer? 1/2 1- wiedewald, ayling, jansson, Pennington, berardi, okane, Phillips, alioski, saiz, roofe, wood. 2- green, anita, cooper, shaughnessy, BJ, Vieira, Klich, sacko, Hernandez, Dallas, ekuban. Strength in depth all over!

10 Aug 2017 10:15:35
Very early days but yes we look to have a real couple of crackers in Saiz and Ali. Ayling, Viera Dallas, bj and even bridctt played well last nite . Also a mention for EKU . T C has a selection headache .

10 Aug 2017 10:15:52
Bridcutt, Doukara, P Farrell, Gomes Ant and the 2 boys out on loan Coyle and Denton . We have also strengthened the U23 . Still think we need C Back and another striker . to cover injuries at the back and speed up front ?

10 Aug 2017 11:23:28
Douks not good enough for the level we need to be at

10 Aug 2017 13:48:31
its such a long season we need at least 2 players for every position to cover for injuries, suspensions and general weariness. i think we will see a few changes as we go through the season and everyone will get their chance at some point. up to them if they take it.

10 Aug 2017 14:28:47
I disagree Wex. Douks is by no means a Wood but he has demonstrated he can be a real handful last 25 minutes of a game once the play has opened up. He's best played in a wing role or as striker late on in games. Anyone who can hit a volley like that has talent. At the moment I'd have him higher up the pecking order than Sacko.

10 Aug 2017 19:07:53
Sorry George just I think we have better douks never impressed me just my po

10 Aug 2017 07:54:05
Anyone know where bermo is? haven't heard from him in a while

10 Aug 2017 10:57:03
Well he's not in my cellar before anyone starts. Having said that let me just have a quick check

10 Aug 2017 13:50:03
probably busy writing - he tends to disappear for a bit when he is really busy

10 Aug 2017 14:18:57
You are correct Alf, Bermo is busy in rehearsals for his new musical comedy 'The sword and the dope' sort of Blackadder meets Monty python sounds hilarious and has had rave reviews from the critics so far I believe, if anyone is in London between September and October checkout the dates at the Waterloo theatre, I'm sure he Will come on here and promote it in the next few weeks! Regards DJ

{Ed001's Note - this is the problem when people become megastars, they forget about all of us little people they have stepped on as they climb to the top.... ;-)

Have you spoken to him recently DJ? If so tell him to break a leg from us all.}

10 Aug 2017 16:05:31
CHeers DJ. Pass on our regards.

10 Aug 2017 18:27:21
Ha ha ha Will do Ed, think he broke his arm once but that was playing in goal and I think he carried on playing for a few minutes after before realising it was facing the wrong way. I will get his autograph for us now while he's still on speaking terms with us 😎

{Ed001's Note - good idea, an autograph, we can have it framed for posterity.

The break a leg thing is good luck in showbiz DJ. I doubt a broken arm would have affected his performance, just given him an excuse for dropping the ball.}

10 Aug 2017 19:19:41
sounds good DJ I will have to check it out

10 Aug 2017 05:05:14
This is what happens when a club recruits well and has genuine and serious competition for places in the starting line-up. I wouldn't want to be TC right now. He has a real selection headache in midfield and attack. The real benefactors may be local chemists whose paracetamol supplies may be depleted over the course of a season. I just don't see how any Championship team is going to cope with our goal threat. Hitting close to a 100 league goals this season looks very possible to me.

10 Aug 2017 07:26:52
I'd say more like 70 goals, 100 goals in 2.5 per game every game home and away, unrealistic. BUT WHO am I to complain let's go for it

10 Aug 2017 08:44:31
As long as it's always one more than the opposition then it doesn't really matter!

10 Aug 2017 08:48:28
Alioski and saiz to start next game please .

10 Aug 2017 09:48:58
Just a reminder lads. Bolton and port vale. Look awesome. But as i always say. The proof is in the pudding! Bring on the supposed big boys first!

10 Aug 2017 13:57:55
wise words Ausman. League 2 Vale and newly promoted Bolton who could well be the whipping boys this season. Not trying to be negative and i really, really, really hope we continue and get even better but let's not get carried away. Yet.

10 Aug 2017 14:31:24
46 league games. 2 goals a game is 92. I think we can strike high 80s plus.

10 Aug 2017 00:12:17
Enjoyed that should have scored more. Only a matter of time before Alioski gets on score sheet. If that's our reserves well happy. Saiz is a real handful and Ekuban looks like he will do well with a few more games. Jackson looks good on that performance, white shirt suits him. Defence looked tight enough even if we did get caught out with a set piece again. Think only Sacko let himself down tonight. Headaches coming for TC in team selections love it. Good to see us finish a team off instead of holding on to a goal lead.
