Hi, here is a newsflash just in, it is how many points a team has when the whistle in the last game is blown that determines where it finishes, not gathering up a few more than another over 5/6 games in the middle of the season. Such nonsence.

Agree5 Disagree13

Op.. Your a happy chappy. A team carrying momentum and form at the turn of the year normal sets it up in good sted for the second half of the season. ( yes I'm just over a week premature) just happy we seem to be getting it right and getting the results. Confidence is a wonderful thing

Agree9 Disagree4

Season is very long but any form is good form those points could be vital if there is a bad run of form. January transfers will be key to the season if none are made capital one cup could cause a burn out. haven't seen much of that west ham blogger since the takeover

BOYCOTTT,BOYCOTT,BATES IS STILL HERE!! ONLY JOKING!!! Them days are long gone lads. Great win yesterday and a MERRY CHRISTMAS!!, to all my fellow LUFC FANS.

35 points for the first 23 games, If Leeds have serious aspirations of saying goodbye to the championship this year they will needs at least 42 points from the next 23 - anymore the 4 more losses and forget it. Come on lads you can do it. Marching on Together.

Believable5 Unbelievable4

In my humble opinion the next 3 games are massive . if we win all 3 then gfh can hopefully be persuaded by warnock to have a proper crack at promotion this year . where as as if we loose all 3 they might decide to keep their powder dry until the summer . whatever happens the future is more optimistic now bates has gone .

Agree12 Disagree4

7pts out of the next 9 considering who we are playing would be an excellent return and would leave us comfortably in the top six by the end of the Christmas period. We can do it

Agree0 Disagree2

Top of the league have lost 6 games in 23 games, so if the lose 6 again ur right maximum we can afford to lose is around 3 or 4 games if were to push up, but thats very very tough.

Great win today, fantastic, just fantastic to see Somma in a leeds shirt again and he can only improve his sharpness now after such a long layoff, the re-shuffle of the defence moving pelts over again was a positive, although I'm not totally convinced in him but he has been playing out of his natural position, so hopefully NW will now address that. We should have Austin back soon too, and with Bates gone, christmas is looking pretty damn good this year!

Believable14 Unbelievable0

Hi, where has Mr Bates gone exactly?
The last I heard the takeover guys said he was to stay on as chairman until the end of the season. Do keep up.

Agree5 Disagree1

22 Dec 2012 23:25:10
why where has bates gone. hes sitting on 50 odd mil and still the chairman weird set up

Agree4 Disagree1

23 Dec 2012 02:07:17
bates can now smell the money of Leeds united but he cant get his hands on it anymore so happy days

Agree3 Disagree0

Bates is there while they learn the ropes, which seems standard to me if i was buying something i knew nothing about. We are not talking £52, we are talking £52 million.

Sack danns, didn't want to sign couple of seasons ago so he's not worthy of wearing the mighty white shirt

All them fans that said becchio crap, time to get rid early in season must really feel stupid now

Believable22 Unbelievable2

I totally agree , without him we wouldn't be edging towards the play offs, Warnock rates him big time, let's hope he stays injury free. Luciano Luciano..

Agree17 Disagree1

And he gets signed up to an extra 2 years, as he only has 18 months left on contract.

Ok. Takeover done
I reckon they will tie up loanees,mega hopefully Thomas too and spend maybe 1-2 mill in window
There are realistically only about 6 teams with squads capable of lasting and getting promoted, we are one of them. So all good so far
As I previously said, any player we sign now should be signed on our terms because when we do get promoted we will be a regular top 4-8 team, so players should recognise our potential for honours.
Leeds 5 Middlesbrough 1 tonight!!

Now that the takeover is complete expect Beckford to be the major player coming in Jan. He only wanted to leave to join a premiership club and 25000 per week so u cant blame him, any young man would do the same. But we all know Beckford loves Leeds and his dream is to take us up, again!

Come on, lets all get behind the team and stop complaining about what's happened in the past, the future now is all that matters.

MOT

Believable5 Unbelievable14

He has hardly set the dogbotherers season alight while on loan there, how many has he scored? i suggest we go for better quality cerainly if we are talking about promotion Beckford has already failed at that level with Everton. Are you his dad?

Agree6 Disagree1

22 Dec 2012 21:22:45
Beckford was a great player for Leeds and top scorer for 2 seasons running. Great partnership with Becchio. Do not remember many complaining at the time! MOT.

Have him if you want to stay in this league? There are far better out there.

At last the end of Bates he must be one of the worst Chairman/Owner of a football club in history. Unfortunately we also had the the other one, i.e. Mr Risdale. At long last hopefully we can get the owners lined up with the Manager and move back up to where we belong. Hope NW does not go too mad on signing up Old Men we have some really good youngsters and Somma coming back - give them a chance.

this is our worst season in the championship so far since we returned to the championship .
i think it will end up been our best by the end of the season though

Believable13 Unbelievable2

22 Dec 2012 10:45:57
its a good opportunity to move up the table and gain on the top teams with teams above us playing each other over the next few games .

Believable10 Unbelievable0

22 Dec 2012 10:36:03
if we win today we will be on the same points as last season after 23 games but x amount of goals behind and if cardiff win we will be the same 12 points behind top spot .

its now time for Leeds united to clear out youth players that are not showing the potential to play at championship level or higher and invest highly in recruiting talent that can .

if we are to push for promotion then we also need to concentrate on getting rid of the poor players that are just enjoying claiming a wage ,no point spending a few mil on a bunch of players that are not gonna get games.

Believable3 Unbelievable5

How much are the youth players on? £200-300 a week? how about shipping out the high wage older players on the fringes of first team before condemning the home grown boys?

22 Dec 2012 06:13:37
In January make the other 2 players Parr and CMS but I think it will be 3 because I don't see us getting Thomas. So come home Mad Max.
