Use our rumours form to send us leeds transfer rumours.
29 Oct 2015 23:43:21
Wow I am actually gobsmacked after watching that, so sad to see my beloved leeds in this state, there needs to be a total clearout i'm afraid only beradi did himself justice and looked championship quality, the rest simply not good enough barring cookie. Shameful, disgraceful, woeful I could go on, I can only hope it gets better because it sure can't get any worse than that! can it?
29 Oct 2015 23:30:43
The players don't get it like the fans do, just sat, well stood actually through 90mins of hell, myself, dad, brother, son and nephew have just witnessed the most spineless Leeds performance in a while, at this rate we will lose a generation of fans, not many will carry on week in out to be served total garbage like that, feel sorry for Evans already, inspiring as he may be, the players haven't got an effing clue what the shirt means.
29 Oct 2015 23:13:19
Haven't been on in a while but check site daily - have always been positive but after 42 years it's the first time I've felt embarrassed at a performance - don't get to Elland Rd much but feel sorry for those paying good money to watch that c--p - hard to blame Evans after 3 games - paid pro's should be docked a month's wages after that - where's de heart/passion? IMO Berardi de only one to come out with any credit - rant over ðŸ˜white forever MOT.
29 Oct 2015 22:58:49
Keeper, Centre half, Centre mid and Striker needed now or else we go down. This gutless bunch are not fit to be called a team. SHAMEFUL.
29 Oct 2015 22:58:35
With LUFC being subject to continual and deserved public ridicule the morale of players must be very low. Pearson and Umbers having bailed out LUFC must be rotten to the core. Let's be fair - anyone would be looking for a new home to apply their trade. For some reason Cellino is running this into the ground and has to go in the best interest of the Club.
30 Oct 2015 00:05:05
Let's not pretend the atmosphere was wonderful under Bates and Gfh. I don't like the bloke much, but it's not Cellino's fault the players couldn't string a pass together and were afraid of making a challenge tonight.
29 Oct 2015 22:51:18
I don't know who I have been watching tonight but it certainly wasn't Leeds United. Clueless in White. Seemed to be just going thro the motions and did not even turn up until 2-0 down. Defence insipid. Midfield average at best. Wood ran about, ineffectually.
Q - Why do we play a Centre Forward who cannot head a ball? Tonight, as always Wood was so easily dominated by Blackburn centrebacks So any long ball out of defense was a complete waste of time. I could go on but all in all we were just a poor second tonight.
29 Oct 2015 23:04:00
Cellino made 2 very bad mistakes in terms of getting rid of people. The second was the suspension of Thompson. The first was the sale of Smith.
When you add the rest of his mistakes, it's not looking good for him or us.
29 Oct 2015 22:32:40
Just pulled over to write this I'm so angry that I've wasted my time and hard earned money to watch that c. p I've never ever felt this bad ever about my Leeds and trust me like the rest of you true Leeds fans I have been through bad bad times but! At those times we tried we had passion but sadly no more rant over pick our selfs up and go again why? Because we ARE LEEDS FANS!
29 Oct 2015 22:18:16
Another season that started full of belief, blown away before the end of October. Once again left hoping to avoid the drop, a big ask I think this time. Who could we beat?
29 Oct 2015 22:13:20
That was "Groundhog day 2" which everyone knows most sequels are worse than the ist film and that my friends was without doubt the worst performance of the season.
As soon as they kicked off you knew they were going to run right through us and they did, collective team all at fault for that, seconded goal down to cooper/Bamba/keeper and 2-0 down after 6 mins was sad to see.
No one played well, we didn't pass well, no ideas, second to balls again, just hiss poor all round.
Murphy was a waste of time, he has got to be dropped, Wood was just aimless and could not jump, for a big guy he was hopeless in keeping ball and jumping about 1 inch off the deck was all the guy could manage - disgrace.
If we play like that then we will be bottom 6 for sure it was sooooo bad I'm finding it hard to find the words.
For that performance I don't blame MC, Steve, just the players they can't hide from that tonight they should just hold hand up, I am shocked how bad, gutless, clueless we were.
29 Oct 2015 22:25:05
Think you will find we are bottom three come sat night sadly.
29 Oct 2015 22:36:23
Really sorry to say your right DG. I am working away at the moment had a good day at work and looked forward to the game all day, now I feel like beetroot. Who would you say was a certainty for the starting 11 I would only say Antenuchi, Cook and Beradi.
29 Oct 2015 22:47:21
I didn't write beetroot can't you even post a mild expletive when you have watched that.
{Ed003's Note - every age group has access to read this thread so if I decide to change to beetroot,sherbert or horseradish I will when I edit.Thanks,enjoy your evening.}
29 Oct 2015 22:08:49
Tried writing my thoughts - can't do it! Gutted - never looked like scoring - just gutted. 4 days to get it sorted and could be bottom 3 by then - even more gutted.
29 Oct 2015 22:01:56
Have supported Leeds through thick and thin for 44 years - I can still remember the abuse I got at school the day afte getting robbed by B Munich in 1975. I have to say this is the lowest of the low and I hope Evans doesn't get the blame as he is clearly not responsible for the shower that turned up tonight - I refuse to use the word played as they didn't. I despair as there is only one way to go now and that is down. There is no way Cellino will willingly leave so we are destined for League 1 as this team has relegation written all over it. It is sad to see the team of Giles, Gray, Billy, Speed plumb the depths.
29 Oct 2015 22:19:49
Good post my sentiments are the same like you their in my blood.
29 Oct 2015 21:59:23
MASSIMO TIME TO GO. I really believe his plan could come to fruition. Promotion in two years is a possibility, league 1,who knows we may be able to compete at that level. Another two or three watermelons down the line and another couple of bans for yourself and the whole footballing world laughing at us. In the news for all the wrong reasons. Your plan is fantastic and no doubt there will be some on here who will still support you, but please just put our club up for sale.
29 Oct 2015 22:07:22
And who you think would want to buy us?
29 Oct 2015 21:55:39
Awful.
Gutless.
One paced.
No leaders.
The list could go on. Who is to blame as we always need someone to blame?
Cellino.
29 Oct 2015 21:55:07
Massimo's bad decision making is spreading to the players. No pride, passion or determination shown on the pitch. Playing scared!
29 Oct 2015 21:51:57
Getting worse but I still believe - Just don't know what I believe - still love Leeds.
29 Oct 2015 21:55:55
I believe we can't get any worse than that, but I know I'll be proven wrong.
29 Oct 2015 21:43:12
Wood very poor
Dallas diabolical
Doukara so bad I can, t even rate him
Such a poor team can, t pass can, t cross can, t win balls but mainly can, t score.
29 Oct 2015 22:49:09
Tbf to doukara he won more headers than wood haha.
29 Oct 2015 21:41:30
I've just spent five minutes watching a bloke pick his nose! Worth the drive up that was! Ahh at last I can go home! Speak soon lads.
29 Oct 2015 21:41:10
Woeful and Inept. Don't know about adding 3 players to the squad. Keep 3 and get rid of the rest. They should donate their wages to charity. Disgraceful and no reflection on Steve Evans. He has inherited a shower of sh@@@.
29 Oct 2015 21:48:50
With you on that one speedy.
29 Oct 2015 21:57:15
Unfortunately Steve Evans has an ego bigger than his belly, he doesn't have a clue what he's doing.
29 Oct 2015 21:37:48
Remind me, who's the team in white?
29 Oct 2015 21:37:31
I would like to refer to my previous posting to those who said "let's get behind Evans"
Blind faith hasn't done us any favours with the past comedians that pretended to be Managers! And it ain't going to work with this one! Circus Owner MC out and take your clowns with you!
29 Oct 2015 21:58:27
Have to admit Evans's body language shows he hasn't got a clue.
29 Oct 2015 21:35:12
We're truly awful at the moment. I despair. Get Larry back in at least we were entertaining in those days.
29 Oct 2015 21:32:12
I have to say that Chris Wood has to be the biggest waste of money since Billy Paynter. I'm left speechless by my beloved team's performances. It's heartbreaking!
29 Oct 2015 21:54:56
We need to dump Woods and Silvestri and Dallas doesn't seem much better.
29 Oct 2015 21:31:40
Why take Cook off?
29 Oct 2015 21:23:58
I feel so carp and embarrassed watching this but I won't leave!
29 Oct 2015 21:20:27
Don't understand. Sky caption said Doukara came on for Wood. That can't be right Wood wasn't even on the pitch. Well I didn't see him anyway!
29 Oct 2015 21:37:09
Lol!
29 Oct 2015 21:17:52
I know that nobody is having a good game, but I'm glad Bamba is on the pitch.
29 Oct 2015 21:15:57
Wood off thank the Lord! Botaka no impact at all. We are a mess sadly.
29 Oct 2015 21:07:34
3 goals in the last 5 games, two of those penalties, we have no chance tonight.
29 Oct 2015 20:44:20
I have no words! anyone?
29 Oct 2015 21:04:59
The ed's wouldn't print the words I'd like to use.
29 Oct 2015 21:08:56
Shocking and rhubarb.
29 Oct 2015 21:41:24
Hope Evans doesn't get blamed for this sherbet tonight, it is all down to inept players occupying 80% of the shirts. Individually we have 3-4 decent one the rest are rubbish.
That includes the crowd that Cellino brought with him. IMO only Beradi would be retained. The rest are garbage, including the darling of the rose tinted glasses brigade who's think Antenucci is class. Where the hell are you looking? Should he see mentioned in the same breath as Clarke, Chapman, Viduka, Yeboah and Jimmy then?
We need some honesty around the place and home truths to be told. There is too much carp and they need to be told and if we are going down so be it, but let's give some youngsters a run and see if there is any enthusiasm at the club at all.
Sorry for the whinge, but after supporting this club for 50 years I feel the need to speak out.
29 Oct 2015 20:40:29
Wouldn't mind betting Cellino in dressing room right now sacking them all!
29 Oct 2015 20:46:38
We're scared sherbetless to play at home 😣.
29 Oct 2015 20:18:25
We look terrified. Shying out of challenges. What a disgrace to the shirt.
29 Oct 2015 20:42:14
Well it finally confirms if there was any doubt that this squad is simply not good enough. We don't have any players that can make things happen or worry the opposition. And we are slow slow slow compared to nearly every team we play against.
29 Oct 2015 20:51:03
Agree Speedy, the players must share the blame with Evans as they look shocking.
29 Oct 2015 20:15:04
No flair, no imagination, no passion and too slow that's Leeds. What a poor game the players simply don't want to play and don't care yo can tell by looking at them. Total disgrace tonight.
29 Oct 2015 20:20:45
Agree. Way I feel at the moment. Get rid of the lot of them and start again.
29 Oct 2015 20:37:34
I agree speedy they dnt deserve to wear that shirt! I actually feel sorry for Evans he must be embarrassed and gone in the morning!
29 Oct 2015 20:39:52
Embarrassed to be a Leeds supporter.
29 Oct 2015 20:04:09
Whoo hoo! league one! I've always thought it was an underrated league and perfect for the constant sh!te which we produce!
29 Oct 2015 19:57:34
Wtf! 0-2.
29 Oct 2015 19:57:08
Wtf is going on?
29 Oct 2015 18:58:04
No sloth shame never really been given a chance what about trying young mcdaid and mulhern.
29 Oct 2015 19:10:12
Yup. If Casper doesn't get picked ah Halloween there's no chance for him.
29 Oct 2015 19:27:46
Thought he was going to use him to ghost in behind their defence! 😉.
29 Oct 2015 17:12:02
On the long drive home today was thinking. greatest Leeds 11 post the revie era.
For me
Martyn
Mills radebe Ferdinand dorigo
Speed. Batty bowyer. Kewell
Cantona
Viduka.
29 Oct 2015 19:37:36
Martyn, Kelly, Dorigo, Woodgate, Ferdinand.
Dacourt, Mcallister, Speed, Strachan.
Viduka, Yeboah.
subs. Lukic, Radebe, Sheridan, Hasselbaink, Bridges.
29 Oct 2015 19:58:48
Ohhh cork, forgot about woodgate.
29 Oct 2015 21:11:28
What is this? Remember the Likely Lads theme tune. "The only thing to look forward to the past."
29 Oct 2015 15:41:39
In all the seasons frustrations we have never been walloped. Losing by the odd goal means that we have always been in games and many would say deserved to win a fair proportion of our draws. I firmly believe that we have the personnell to march up the division and it has only been a lack of pace/tempo that has been or downfall. With that in mind when we click and finally wake up some team is in for a real thrashing - maybe tonight? MOT.
29 Oct 2015 19:06:49
Well as I'm useless at predicting, I'm going for 1-1.
29 Oct 2015 15:14:26
Saw something hilarious today, thought it needed sharing. was walking past a well known bookies today and in the window they had an advert that £10 on Leeds to win 2:1 tonight gets you £250!
Now I'm not a betting man, but even I know that is daylight robbery! I mean Leeds to score more than the opposition?! they must think we're idiots!
{Ed003's Note - I saw one for 3 - 0 & £260, save your dosh 😜.}
29 Oct 2015 13:14:20
Great night for a game with the weather and will be there as always, am going to wear my yellow leeds shirt for this one to see if it brings any luck as white one hasn't for ages ha ha.
I predict a crowd of around 20,000 which is poor but can't get my head around a Thursday night game (I know you do in Europe but as we haven't been there for ages have forgot) .
Does anyone know how much Sky pay us for the game and what we would lose/gain against say a Saturday 3pm KO with say 24-25000 (about our average?
I just want the team to play high tempo, give it a go and believe in their own ability (and hopefully have a bit of luck) so I am letting my heart win and saying a 3-1 goal feast tonight.
4-4-2 so I would play (if people fit)
Flappy (hopefully will have a replacement in next game or so) .
Cooper/Bamba/Bryam/Berardi
Dallas/The wiz wide, Cook center and Adeyemi as our midfield 4
Wood/Ant
With options on bench on an in-form? Mowatt, Buckley (who must be getting up to speed soon? ) and perhaps reborn Sloth (? ) we are still lacking people who can really turn a game for us from the bench with that 1st team out but will have to do for now.
Fingers crossed guys cause I can't take another groundhog day at Elland Rd tonight!
29 Oct 2015 14:18:53
PS if we on average lose around say 5000 fans when on TV/switch match away from Saturday, paying an average of say £25 per ticket then we lose £125k.
I read last year that Sky pay around £80k to us for a game? not sure if that right but you can see how we lose out as don't believe they pay over a £100k a Leeds game.
29 Oct 2015 15:41:53
I was looking forward to tonights fixture and looking into who we were playing on sunday, the I realised this is our weekend fixture. It just doesn't make sense and takes away from the spirit of the game.
Now I don't get to many games as, but I can see MC's point about Sky / FL changing the fixtures to be able to show on TV. For me great as I live in Birmingham, but for regular match goers not so.
As much as I get annoyed by the guy, every penny helps and being the scrimper he is he has done the maths and deduced that we lose out.
29 Oct 2015 09:10:04
Good luck to to the team tonight hoping for a good result - like to see sloth get some game time and maintain that reserve form - maybe even bag a goal😜. Clean sheet for sylvestre (Leeds) tonight - MOT.
29 Oct 2015 08:51:11
We all know Cellino is mad as a hatter but I can't understand why some still want him out. Before he came we would not be talking about getting a play off place never mind promotion. We would be grateful to finish mid table. We would not be saying this player is good, this ones crap because they would all be crap, young ones would have been sold asap. He has sacked managers but that's what a majority off the fans wanted. A lot ridiculed Evans before he walked in the door but he is the best manager we have had since Larry.
Some say Cellino is making us a laughing stock but we were a joke before he came. At least now we have aspirations and belief that we can be better. The media are highlighting all the troubles simply because we are progressing, where were they when Bates was bleeding us dry and GFH were running us like a corner shop.
I think we should be thanking Cellino and getting behind him, when he is banned he is still going to own the club, he will not walk away. I believe he will get us to the premiership eventually simply because he is a proud stubborn man and that's what he wants to do.
Its down to players to perform now, no excuses. Good players should be able to play different systems, if they can't then they are not good enough. This manager will let them off the leash a bit and will play the ones who give 100%. Think some will be out the door, maybe some of our own. But we will know for sure they are going because they want or are not good enough, not because we have to balance the books.
29 Oct 2015 10:45:29
I agree with your analysis Bige except for one thing. Cellino will sell before he takes us to the PL.
29 Oct 2015 11:27:22
People who support Cellino only seem to point out that he is not bates or GFH,therefore deserves our support. Don't get me wrong he came in and got us on a financially sound footing,he got rid of deadwood players on ridiculous wages. But the tax cases, the treatment of Redders and Lucy Ward,the hiring of coaches because they were cheap. Hockaday and Dark were embarrassing.Then there's the ripping up of legally binding contracts, ending in court cases of which there are going to be numerous. Running into millions,more tax evasion cases,employment tribunals. The whole thing is run like a soap opera. Just because he is not liked by the football league does not mean we should give him our undying support.
29 Oct 2015 14:13:30
Well Bige and Deda. I guess you are both correct really. Don't have to like MC or approve of his methods, but I can't help thinking we wouldn't be playing in this league ( and possibly not even be playing at all ) if he hadn't come along when he did.
29 Oct 2015 17:29:51
I don't support Cellino I support Leeds United deda. I am not saying blindly follow him. Yes he is doing stupid things, he should take more advice but if he wants some one gone that's how it is. Lucy Ward and her hubby have done good work but I will tell you that Hart has been a breath of fresh air for U21. The last couple of games I have seen they have been a different team going forward and getting goals. I don't agreee with everything Cellino does and will be frankly will be happy for him to be banned for two years. The thing I was pointing out was he has aspiration for the club to progress, he will fund it to do so. that's more hope than we have had for the past ten years. I am not interested in why some one was sacked, what court case is next, what matters to me is we have a decent team with a decent manager out on the pitch every sat. that's what I pay my money to see.
29 Oct 2015 07:43:22
Hope the team get a win tonight, can't stand many more drives home with silence in the car.
29 Oct 2015 08:53:30
Think this could be a turning point, 2-0 win to us. Two for Ant.
