People were asking for a Fantasy football for this website, so i thought as i have already done my teams for both i might as well do a league for people to join.

1) The First is the knewly named "Phones 4u Fantasy Football" which is the championships fantasy football.

League Pin is: 8805

2) The Second is the official Barclays Premier League one:

League Pin : 985486-271167

These two are the best two for each league, hopefully ed can put them on both Banter and Rumour page.

cheers lads,

TeejLUFC

I think i am the only one in the League that hasn't got a Leeds player in it haha

keep reading posts about the takeover AGAIN -we've been disappointed once so why don't we just sit tight and what will happen will happen. Personally I think we are only a striker and wide man away from a really strong team, never mind who we might bring in later (or January) IF the takeover happens - lets get down ER in our droves and be the thirteenth man !!

Time to get behind the new Team (including Diouf) & Manager Irrespective of the takeover, I would love to hear again "STRINGS FOR YASMIN BY TIN TIN OUT" as the Mighty Whites step out from the tunnel

Love Leeds, Roll on Saturday

Fire in the belly time :)

Ed, can you post this for international users?

I am wondering if anyone knows of a live online stream so I can watch the wolves game instead of listening to the commentary. I knows Sky will be broadcasting the game so I'm sure someone will be streaming it.

Try hahasport or vipbox... i'm sure one of them will be streaming the match.... dave

Shadownet tv show leeds the odd time and id say they will like up with sky for the wolves game mate.

Reason in favour of Rhodes potentially coming to Leeds:
1. If he doesn't want to move too far from where he already lives, Huddersfield isn't too far from Leeds.
2. He may feel that Leeds have a greater chance of promotion than Blackburn with a manager like Warnock
3. If he was forced to sell, Grayson may want to offload his best player to a club close to his heart... Leeds

Maybe it's not as unlikely as people think

You give good reasons but just can't see it.

Ed this may sound like the stupidest thing you've heard but what's peoples problem with kewell. Not saying I like him or don't just confused y people dont. Btw only really got stuck into leeds about 4 year ago so I don't know much about kewell. {Ed013's Note - Kewell moved to Liverpool for big money and Leeds received a small transfer fee for him when Leeds were going through a bad time. In reality he was worth a lot more, but never really rose to the occasion at Liverpool. Leeds fans would have probably of forgiven him for that, but the fact that he moved to Galatasaray was the final straw for most fans. OK, he wasn't involved in the killing of Kevin and Christopher, but out of a mark of respect he could have chosen any club other than them. Kewell went through the ranks at Leeds and was a crowd favorite. He understood the passion and knew how hurt the fans were after the Turkey incident. My opinion, as is most fans, he shouldn't have gone there as it felt like he was rubbing salt in the would. There will be people that will come on and fight his case for him and say he didn't have nothing to do with the incident and that he has done nothing wrong. Make your own mind up. Mine will not change}

I loved kewell,all my passwords for computer related to his name.but your right out of respect he made an error of judgement and i dont want to see him again..shrew leeds {Ed020's Note - gotta agree with you, my password at work was kewell too, i gotta agree with you and ed013, i'd rather not see him back at leeds.}

Yeah, I think Leeds were offered around 18 million by Inter Milan for him a few months before he left, but he didn't go. His agent got around half of the 'pathetic' transfer fee which we received for him from Liverpool. Now looking at that, maybe his agent was scaremongering him, and wanted some big bucks. He was a youngish lad so may well have been easily led, and so yes ED, we could have forgiven him for that. The big thing was the Galatasaray move. It sickened me to my stomach that he even CONSIDERED it, let alone did it.

I maybe even could have had the 'slightest' bit of understanding had it have been one of Europe's 'real' big guns - the Barcelona's and Real Madrid's for example - but Galatasaray were never gonna provide him with anything other than Turkish Championship medals, and an outside chance of the UEFA Cup. His choice was appalling, and at that point he was old enough to make his own mind up, and he gave no thought to those who had nurtured and supported him so well, so that was entirely down to him.

I still love the way he played when he was here, and what he did at Leeds, that will never change, because after all, it's part of our history. But what he did AFTERWARDS was unforgivable, and he can't /wouldn't / will not ever be welcome back in my book. EVER!

MOT! WMS!

Kewell is the best example of a thick, greedy, ignorant & totally selfish person let alone a "footballer". Compare the integrity and greatness of current men & women who are REAL Leeds HEROES - the Brownlee lads, Nicola Adams, our lads & lasses in the armed forces and past heroes like John Charles, Billy, Don and the boys and you know that that vermin is NOT welcome in our great city and country EVER. FACT.

We called our budgie HARRY

looking back to the fa cup tie against arsenal last year and the lineup we had back then i must say i feel pretty confident for the season ahead, alot of talent, experience, hard working players mixed uin with a few upcoming youth, also amybe 2 more players in and barring any serious injuries im well confident of success this season!

Sgt Warnock said he would give us something to be proud of and proud we are.
The man is a genious, with limited funds. Imagine what this man could do with 3 million and thats not far fetched, if we change owners.

The Takeover will not happen, it stated on the official website that talks have broken down. EVERY leeds fan should have a heart for ken bates, if Bates never bought us for £1, we wouldn't be here, we had massive debts to pay. Luckily Bates bought us, know one was interested, Bates Payed off all our debts. He came across some bad managers in the past eg. Dennis wise, mcallister ect. Simon grayson got us promoted, what more can we ask for from a first time manager..?But now bates has found the manager that will get us back to the promise land, where we belong, bates can be a tight bugger sometimes, but he has done us a favour, its just been going slow ' to save money' this is the season, MOT!

It didnt state anywhere on the OS that it had broke down just said exclusivity period had ended but they are happy to continue talks... Read it properly before misquoting it.

Bates didn't pay off our debt otherwise we wouldn't of gone into administration..

Sorry m8; but I cant find anything on the OS to say that the takeover will not happen!

Are you called Bates by anychance ?

BATES OUT !! Gj

Gzzzz your very appreciative of Mr Bates. Question why isn't he refunding sold players profits back into the current squad then. I would like an answer please?

So many things wrong with this its unreal take the blinkers off matey and do a bit of research because this could be the worst post i have ever seen and i dont particularly hate bates (nor do i love him). this post must be from a child surely! 'Luckily bates bought us'?, grayson a 'First time manager'? wise a 'bad manager'?? where do you get hallucinagens?
LtKK

Prob not read the long text the other day bates saved us ffs.

What's the bloody Romans ever done for us ay?.

Is that you Ken..? is so P.O

Leeds wasnt Graysons first managerial position.

Som for himebody give the fella a history lesson with some business studies and legal books for dummies. For the record dragging Bates behind wild horses for months on end would be too good for him. Bring back Peter Haddock. Cambridge White

Bates is killing are club and dragging it through the mud. We want a owner with Leeds in his vains. You just carn't get through to some people, which makes me question who the post is really from. Mrs Bates, your husband is not wanted or needed. Bates has left the building.

Hope Billy does well at Doncaster, he's made a decent choice and will get good game time over there. Probably end up being their top scorer next season as he's a good player at that level. A shame it didn't work out for him at ER, nice lad.

As far as the Diouf thing goes. Some people agree to the signing and some people don't. At first I was sceptical, but then I thought 'Hang on, it's only Diouf, at least (and thank god) it wasn't K**ell'!! Could have been a million times worse, and I'm willing to give the lad a chance. It's a footballing choice, and the sort of player who can shine in the Championship.

MOT! WMS!

God damn international friendlies were without Green, aidy and Ross for wolves game. WTF? What the hell kind of a time is that to hold frienndlys on opening day of season?

NickW MOT

We are not 'without them' for the Wolves game, they miss the build up and training etc. Actually, barring injuries, they should come back in good shape afterwards. For me, 90 mins competitive match time is good for the guys this early in the season when they need to get match fit!

MOT! WMS!

Unless there games are on the moon we should be fine

Were does it say that? all i see is that they wont be training with us probably until thursday!

We are not with out them. They will miss the build up but will be back for the game in Saturday, fitness permitting.

WibseyWhite

No they are back for game just miss training in the build up mate.

If you read the os report properly it say that they will miss the build up to the Wolves game but not the game itself. No internationals on Saturday.

They are still available for the match they just miss training in the run up to the game

The friendlies are wednesday, what are you on about?

Chill out they're back for the wolves game

They're not away for the game!!

I thought this as well, the site didn't do the best in telling us what's going to happen.

Think he's got the message

Just in case no one has mentioned it yet, they will be back for the game on saturday.

Originial poster here! Ok so they're actually back for saturday then? Lol, kidding. Yeah the OS didn't really make it clear. I took it from that, the friendlies were weekend. Must be the takeover driving me potty.
