Don't know why. Think we are going down next season.
Sorry to be negative chaps.
Just got a horrible feeling that's all.

19 May 2016 21:38:26
Oh thanks Slough! I just walked into piece and tranquillity and you come in and p. d on my parade! Lol cheer up matey tell uncle Pete why u reckon we going down?

19 May 2016 21:51:01
I think we will be closer to top than bottom next season, but I have been getting bullied at school the cool kids call me names and my p. e teacher makes me do things I don't want to (cross country and generally run) can I tell uncle pete about this?

19 May 2016 22:00:17
I don't know about going down but promotion is out of the question.
If Benitez stays and most of the players stay, Newcastle will walk the league.
If Villa get rid of the dross and spend £40m plus as stated they'll go up. Then you've got Norwich and all that parachute money.
Then there's the rest of the teams who were in front of us this season. Why would we finish in front of them?

We're buying players for £600k from Brenford.
I've always supported Cellino but I'm afraid unless he splashes the cash in the summer I think I will find myself being drawn to the darkside.
(Any room in your gang George? ) 😈.

19 May 2016 22:02:01
BW I told u not to contact me on here about those thoughts! Wait till later? Lol 😏😏.

19 May 2016 23:35:47
Pete

What about me? I'm supposed to be in therapy! I'm trying hard to fight the negativity but then Danum walks in. His post reads too strong, makes too much sense. Must resist. Wex, where are you?

20 May 2016 09:18:15
I disagree. I'm top 8 at least. Maybe top 7.

20 May 2016 10:02:48
Deep breaths George this is a real test today now I know this will be hard but try say anything positive.

20 May 2016 10:08:50
Until we have clarity from the top about how we are going forward we don't know who we're going to get as coach. How many players and of what quality. So I wish people would stop making predictions based on no evidence. Danum keep walking towards the light. Don't look back you can do it.

20 May 2016 10:39:18
I'll go with George's IQ as our position next season.

20 May 2016 11:09:20
so promotion then speedy?

20 May 2016 11:12:23
George if your feeling a bit panicky I can hand you over to my assistant Dr M Mick for some withers and poons intensive therapy only as a last resort but first I would like for you to say something positive without Dr Micks meds.

20 May 2016 11:56:29
BW
Yes, automatic!

20 May 2016 12:17:22
Wex
Here's my positive statement for today.

Massimo released Scott Wooton.

20 May 2016 12:58:04
Speedy and Berm

Thanks for your wonderful remarks. For next season I believe our league position will equate to the number of times you two met up in real life and gave each other pleasure.

Looks like we'll begin August 2017 in League One!

20 May 2016 14:45:06
Georgie
Bottom of league 2!

20 May 2016 15:11:18
George if you are trying to be witty or factual get it right how can we finish up the number of times me and speedt have met up and given each other pleasure there are not 204 places in the league table. if your remark was to be correct we would end up in the rymans league 7 sunday northern c devision or whatever they call it now days.


speaking of which you about tonight speedy say 7.30ish same place as last time with the hobos where that big dog kept barking?

20 May 2016 15:39:53
Yes I'll be there BW
Don't forget to bring you know what 😜.

20 May 2016 16:19:00
Speedy and Berm

Pure class dudes! Just pure class. Thanks for making me smile : )

GIW.

20 May 2016 18:25:35
Smile Georgie?
You sure you don't mean jealous 😜?

20 May 2016 18:37:22
speedy when you say you know what, do you mean the thing that squeaks. the rubber gloves, the jelly or the hampster. don't worry I will bring all of the above.

19 May 2016 17:32:09
Looks like Villa have a new owner with money to spend (30-40million) on players
Big ideas etc
Think they will be tough to beat next season.
Prob buy all the players we should be looking at!

19 May 2016 18:50:50
Hopefully they buy Wood off us for 25million, MC buggers off and we get sold for 30mil.

19 May 2016 18:53:20
Or shouldn't be looking at as we'll fall foul of the ffp rules.

19 May 2016 19:03:25
I think villa will be closer to leauge 1 than prem following next season.

19 May 2016 20:29:39
Berm

I expect Villa to be top 8 next season mixing it with likes of Ipswich and Cardiff.

19 May 2016 22:09:36
Ipswich and Cardiff
George I didn't know you did jokes!

19 May 2016 12:14:55
George have you made your positive cellino comment today?

19 May 2016 13:30:44
No but I shall now Wex.

This afternoon Massimo is attending a board meeting in order to resolve the immediate future of Leeds United.

19 May 2016 13:56:20
Positive comment

I am positive George dislikes MC

That help Wex.

19 May 2016 14:22:00
How do you feel George? Is it having a calming effect. In the next day or so you should start to hear the birds song in the mornings and see nice sunsets in the evening and pretty soon you'll feel your lips tingling this will feel funny but its the early onset of a smile forming don't be alarmed it will settle after a week or so.

19 May 2016 14:35:14
Ox we don't need outside interference when George is receiving therapy. Thanks for trying to help but George is at a delicate stage and the least little thing could set him back.

19 May 2016 16:12:34
Sorry Wex, just trying to help with the positivity, but I concede I am not a trained therapist. Therefore I will resist further temptation to assist in the rehabilitation process George is currently undergoing.

19 May 2016 16:37:18
Fair play ox this therapy is in the early stages of research it's results are not yet verified but as George is such an extreme case. We are prepared to at least try.

19 May 2016 16:46:54
If I can be of any help. I was a trained therapist for a few years. Actually, not a sit on a couch therapist but I worked as a barman in a pub. Same thing really and a damn sight cheaper.

19 May 2016 17:24:59
I'm feeling ok wex. This trying to not be depressed thing is difficult for me. I'm pleased about the additional shirt sponsorship from Mr Parkin. Just eager to learn of the outcome of today's board meeting.

19 May 2016 18:04:05
Same as you George extra sponsorship good news I am expecting big news from meeting. For me hope Steve staying with a nice budget marching on together.

19 May 2016 08:46:47
To the Banter Crew.

Come on guys I need your expert (!? ) input on this, never mind about the MC, FL, Manager, who we going to buy situation I just want to know the following as I dont.

How many season ticket holders did we have last year 15/ 16 season, anyone have any idea?

This one more about opinions, how many season ticket holders will we get this year 16/ 17, does anyone think we will reach close to 15000 or is that way off the mark?

I'm just really interested to know so come on MM, Ausman, Berm W, happy George, Wex, Harte, Speedy, Vid and everyone else any info on such things?

Cheers boys.

19 May 2016 09:27:52
No idea sorry.

19 May 2016 09:29:15
No idea DG, good question though. Would be interesting to see if we were anywhere near the magical 15,000 figure last year, because if we weren't it kinda devalues the whole thing. I appreciate the offer would generate more sales which is a good thing. Would be great to have ER rocking every home game.

MM.

19 May 2016 09:35:09
looking on line and figures change but seem to be in the 12-14k region depending on site. I think this year we will hit 15k.

19 May 2016 09:46:29
would not be surprised if it was around the 10000 mark.

19 May 2016 10:44:16
Think we've been around the 11-12,000 S/ T for the past few seasons now, can't see it improving much with all the uncertainty unless we see real intent in the transfer market, the club say we have several hundred new S/ T holders but there's going to be others that won't renew so I can't see us reaching 15,000, biggest disappointment is the low LS postcode S/ T holders and I'm not one of them either we rely on lot of out of town support.

19 May 2016 10:56:25
Cheers guys thanks for the input.

19 May 2016 13:18:53
All wrong it was12500 last season and we averaged 10,000 attending each game.

19 May 2016 13:43:35
well to be perdantic my online research or 12-14k was in the region although it was a ball park figure.

i spoke to MC and he said it was 12501 making you off the target again :)

19 May 2016 14:02:43
Nice to see ya Survivor old chum.

19 May 2016 14:59:24
George. Very harsh on Bermondsey last weekend to say you didn't want to be his friend or anyone else's and now its oh " survivor old chum" . Positive response now be nice.

19 May 2016 17:02:13
Just when you thought it was safe, the bulls***er is back. Thought you'd be too busy name dropping elsewhere?

I'm surprised you haven't piped up already this week with 'I told you all 32 Red would be our new sponsor and no-one believed me' or the like!

Mr In The Know. haha

MM.

19 May 2016 08:34:26
Thought I'd lob my two penneth into the ring as everyone's seems to be having their say on good and bad posters on here.

First and foremost it's a banter site - the clue being in the name and if this attracted readers who all shared the same opinion, it would be boring. We have a diverse selection of posters on here. Some very informative, some not so informative and some just ridiculous (me included) .

There's a good split of pro-Cellino and anti-Cellino supporters on here which makes for good discussion.

There's a lot of good lads (and one lass) on here. Georgie Boy might rub some up the wrong way but he is a regular and keeps the site ticking along. He stands by his opinions which is good and most of what he dishes out, I believe, is banter and should be taken with a pinch of salt.

Having said that Georgie boy, I don't agree with your assessment of Jeff (aka Survivor) . There's banter and there's just carp which he talks in spades. He posted random gems including being friends with Lucas Radebe, knowing Cellino, buying Yorkshire Radio and even suffering injuries when Leeds' plane crashed! None of this was backed up and his lame predictions never came true either. The bloke has serious issues and is probably on some other site now trying to be someone he's not. Probs not even a Leeds fan.

As for everyone else, we all share the same common love of all things Leeds United, so let's not fall out too much eh?

Peace and love - down the pints, up the Whites

MM.

19 May 2016 08:47:35
After reading and agreeing with MM's statement and very good assessment above and given his unwavering loyalty primarily to our cause and secondly to Spoons I would like to propose Mad Mick as honorary Chairman (unpaid of course ) and chief adjudicator of disputes for our site ( until further notice ) .

Arise Mad Mick!

19 May 2016 09:29:43
So you nominating yourself as the Queen then PA :) ?

19 May 2016 13:54:55
MM

You are correct. Much of what I say is banter but often a truthful word spoken in jest. My love for Leeds always strong.

19 May 2016 00:29:06
Can I say. Mc is Italian. That's what they are like. Passionate. Childish. Want to be loved. Say things they don't mean.

All nationalities have their ways. Russian. Chinese etc! He's not perfect but he has put his money where his mouth is when nobody else wanted to or wants to!
We got an Italian that saved us from admin and has sadly for you George kept us from league 1 football.

He Dosent make great football or people decisions but we got him and he will do what he thinks is best to earn him money which is promotion.
