This is the team I think will kill Wednesday tmoz!

GREEN
COYLE PONTUS COOPER TAYLOR
BRIDCUTT PHILLIPS
ROOFE HERNANDEZ SACKO
WOOD

This team has goals!
I think our first win is tomorrow.
2-1.

Believable2 Unbelievable1

No way will Coyle dislodge Ayling at this stage. Same for Roofe with Dallas. You are right to retain Phillips he is in form. Ant for Wood. Don't care he scored last minute. He's a sub.

Agree4 Disagree4

19 Aug 2016 21:00:23
Soz mate! I forgot about Ayling! My bad.
I would leave Wood on and bench Ant. Wood will get 20+ goals this season for us believe me.

Agree3 Disagree0

19 Aug 2016 21:02:48
Agree George but I think roofe has a lot more to offer than dallas, je should be a sub .

Agree3 Disagree0

19 Aug 2016 21:15:14
Exactly Lancaster. Roofe will threaten the goal!

Agree2 Disagree0

19 Aug 2016 21:25:30
Dallas no Sako has pace so sold start. Ant over Lumpov. Tomorrow is a massive game for me. I will not be able to hold my head up of we lose. Have to say I would take a draw now. Even with ten new signings we still look short of real quality. We must not lose this ga me.

Agree1 Disagree0

19 Aug 2016 21:56:15
quite like that neil! (would change the lb when we get one) , think it may be unfair on birdcage to be the only ball winner so I like phillips beside him. (feel sorry for dave tho) , give phillips a run to see if he can cut it. that team's got steel, pace it just needs goals (obvious but true) . strong bench to tweak as and when MOT.

Agree2 Disagree0

19 Aug 2016 22:05:24
Roofe for Dallas imo but away from home Monk might just pick Dallas.
Wood or Ant? On form Ant but probably go with the Kiwi!
Might even give Hernandez a break?

Agree1 Disagree0

19 Aug 2016 22:11:57
Long-term I believe in Roofe and slightly more than Dallas. However, Dallas more often than not puts in a shift and there's no harm throwing Roofe on for the final half hour and he can be used in couple different positions which increases his utility from the bench. Can't imagine defenders would relish seeing a fresh Roofe after an hour. Just my opinion.

Agree4 Disagree0

19 Aug 2016 22:15:23
Oh forgot to say we should stick with Barkley. He's done little wrong so the Swede should have to wait a while as he's just walked through the door.
Be better for team morale imo.

Agree2 Disagree0

20 Aug 2016 03:01:35
Cork

What about benching Coops or even dropping Taylor and asking Coops to play LB. I agree Bartley has done little wrong.

Agree1 Disagree0

20 Aug 2016 08:35:42
Coops to play left back?
You're losing it George.

Agree1 Disagree1

20 Aug 2016 10:01:54
Maybe George. Cooper can play there but obviously better in the middle. At least we have tough choices for a change.

Agree0 Disagree0

19 Aug 2016 20:25:04
For those of you going to the wendy house tomorrow make sure you make an extra big noise for Monk and his team of Monkees. Show your support for the team, even if we are 6-0 down, be loyal, passionate. I'm sure once the team has played together for a few games and GM knows his strongest first team then I'm sure we'll be heading in the right direction.
MOT.

I like that post Lucas. Makes sense to me. Just hope MC reads this site!

on Wednesday, a bit tongue in cheek, I posted 'Monk has 3 games left to start winning. ' Now it seems that a similar story has appeared in the papers.

You don't think.?

If so its lazy journalism at its finest.

Believable1 Unbelievable0

19 Aug 2016 14:39:03
You were joking, the idiot press and all the rest are just stirring with a big stick, no foundation whatsoever behind these ridiculous claims, IMO Monk is assembling a team that will challenge for promotion given time, a top class strike now and we should be in the mix, judge them at xmas when we've had a chance to gel, till then all you gutter press, shut up,

Agree1 Disagree0

19 Aug 2016 15:15:13
Well I think the big clue is 'monk is assembling a team'. The new signings clearly have Monks stamp on them. I don't imagine for a second MC would let him have any influence over choosing players if he was thinking of getting rid.

So I read yesterday that mario ballatelli was being linked with Wolves on loan!
Clearly Liverpool still to pay a mass percentage of his wages but let's face it we have a nutty Italian in charge, why not try take another crazy italian on loan if Ya could get him in the mood he would tear this division to bits!

Believable1 Unbelievable2

19 Aug 2016 15:52:10
cant see Mario in this league for any club, someone like palace would take him no questions asked as well and most prem teams and seria a and even la lega. no way he will be champ player.

Serious help needed lads. What do I but the delightful Mrs Mick for her birthday. I've already spoilt her at Christmas with the Bay Watch ironing board cover. I was thinking of buying her a lap top so she should Skype me down 'spoons (only on anniversaries mind) but it's a bit pricey. I was hoping to shell out around about a tenner, for something classy that says "I care". I've been trawling around Poundland all morning and they're got nothing - help!

MM.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed001's Note - chocolates, you can get 10 different ones from Poundland and look like you are spoiling her.}

19 Aug 2016 13:34:24
Get her a wife survival kit.
Mariglolds
Washing up liquid
Washing powder
Duster
Polish
Windolene
Or you could go all in and include some fabric softener!
Guaranteed no Agro for the next 12 months pal
Should be able to scrape some change from Ya tenner as well.

19 Aug 2016 13:36:00
Get her a picture frame with a pic of her sister in it. That'll show your caringness. Thinking about her close family. Ensure the photo is a profile shot of her bust. I'm sure you've taken a few of those over the years. Problem solved.

Agree0 Disagree0

19 Aug 2016 13:43:21
how about a card saying 'I care' on it. you should be able to get that and still have change for a pint.

Agree0 Disagree0

19 Aug 2016 13:44:35
to follow up on the ironing board cover theme - how abouut some new hoover bags, a pack of J cloths or a pack of 20 bin liner? They are the gifts that keep on giving.

Agree0 Disagree0

19 Aug 2016 13:45:37
If she likes tea - how about individually packaged tea bags? its like Christmas every day opening one of those beauties up.

Agree0 Disagree0

19 Aug 2016 13:47:52
that say it is the thought that counts, write a list of everything you have thought about buying for her and doing for her. if she is still not happy that shows there really is no pleaseing some people.

Agree0 Disagree0

19 Aug 2016 13:58:14
oor - if she has a smartphone already - tell her you have 'bought' the skype app for her phone so she can skype you down spoons, install it when shes not looking and as its free you won't have to have spent a penny!

Agree0 Disagree0

19 Aug 2016 14:28:37
How about saying to her zlatan style ' you don't need a gift, you have mm'

19 Aug 2016 14:50:31
how about a leeds shirt it does it for me.

19 Aug 2016 15:01:52
How about a mask made from a photo of her sister - should solve a number of issues Mick - fantasy land.

19 Aug 2016 15:02:58
Thanks for all the suggestions lads, much appreciated. They used to do skimpy kecks with the Leeds badge on them in the club shop years ago. Not sure if they do now but might see if I can get some in her sisters size (small) as they probably don't do parachutes. That should ram the point home nicely.

MM.

{Ed001's Note - personally I would avoid club stuff, it is bloody expensive, far too costly to waste on a wife. Save that for the mistress mate....}

Totally brilliant dude!

19 Aug 2016 17:13:06
Haha, nice one ed. that's why I'm buying them in the sisters size. Just in case!

MM.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - still no luck with her then MM? Though I do hear women are put off by desperation, so that might be the problem mate. I can't think what else could cancel out the allure of the shell suit allied to the smell of stale sweat, beer and fags.....}

19 Aug 2016 18:45:03
What about one of them rabbit things. My other half has one but I don't know where it's hutch is.

The Power of the Press don't you just love it?

Or should I say the power of 1 journo to start a rumor which then just snowballs as other journos act like sheep and follow it.

Result - if you read the people commenting on YEP then most seem to just believe it and so become all negative again (with no proof) .

It is so easy to undermine Leeds the club it is untrue, I sometimes think that a lot of the fans want to believe the worst.

After 3-4 games at start of season with decent investment, for our league anyway, both in terms of team/ club, why are (what seems) to be loads of YEP readers banging on about mad dog MC.

If a 100 fans protest then it is reported in a way which makes out is most of the fan base and we are in turmoil. again.

IT just p***** me off, we should be talking about team/ tactics etc.

Well said DG.

Really hope it is all nonsense, it's August, we're still putting the finishing touches to the squad and it's bound to take several weeks for the new squad to gel. However we know how impulsive Cellino is; it's up to him to come out and deny any truth in the rumour today. If not, the speculation will continue up to tomorrow's game which isn't healthy.

If we don't get a result tomorrow and he does pull the trigger, I think there would be serious unrest and boycotting by many fans, also why would any half decent manager even consider coming here. We need stability, judge GM after Christmas.

Never bought the The Mirror and absolutely never will, I won't even read it if it's on the table in the works canteen. Mainly due to the fact that I've never forgiven them for the way they covered the woody/ bowyer court case.
Always hated LU and always probably will, a good enough reason to hate The Mirror.

agree all rubbish, boycott the paper and serious words must be had with any 'fans' kicking up a fuss anti mc/ monk or anything at the moment, things are on the up let's makes sure the fans let mc know that we have faith in monk and the team (cant believe I have to type that after three games like anyone would not be behind monk or the team at this point) things are up the up fellas MOT

i predict a great win tomorrow to put this all to bed. well for a week anyway.

Best thing to read for accurate non-biased up to date information on our club is the Leeds Rumours website. And in other news Bermo and Speedyg are finally tying the knot tomorrow after the game. Ed001 is BM.

Sounds like the Mirror up to its usual tricks. Just a rag.

Agree0 Disagree0

19 Aug 2016 13:55:23
looking at MCs track record it is an easy story to write 'Monk's job under threat'. If he continues to lose and does get sacked, say, after 10 games then the journo looks like a genius with amazing sources, if the form picks up then Monk staying can be put down to that and if we still play badly but he doesn't get sacked the journo makes up something else knowing things have to improve or Monk will indeed be off. Its a win win situation for the Journo and the paper gets a few more words in it and a bit of publicity.

Ignore it and don't give them the attention that they are clearly after.

Who the flip does steve evans think he is . Saying monk needs to win at wendies? What a load of codswallop! Having been in the job he should know better than to add unnecessary pressure by making ridiculous comments. Somebody please tell him to clear off, he has no right to comment anymore . It would be better for all if he just got a job at McDonalds, then his face would be so full no one would be able to understand the gibberish nonsense he keeps spouting!

Evening guys! Well it's actually morning as I'm up late enjoying the Olympics, well I got my wish for a big strong no nonsense CB that will come straight into the first 11, from the footage I've seen and reading all the reports about Pontus (love the name) he looks to be exactly what we have been looking for and missing for quite a while, the Q now is which defender plays along side him? For me I would persevere with Bartley for now and if he shows any signs of Bambaisms bring coops in, I'm looking forward to this game as I'm sure Bridcutt will be thrust in also and will offer some extra protection which should allow Hernandez to do his stuff much further forward and help Antonsson and wood although i'm sure Garry will go 4231 So one of them will be on the bench, I would play Antonsson as he is more mobile and better suited to playing the Lone striker, I am quietly confident of our 1st win this weekend and really hope it happens because even though it's ridiculously early in the campaign, I fear for Mr Cellinos trigger happy finger Should we lose again, so let's hope that GMs ideas and style of play start to come through ASAP have a great weekend everyone MOT 😎.
