Went to the game today, i thought Paddy was superb at the rear winning everything he can only get better, like having at top center back signing. Howson was simply awesome bounced off Brown pretty well, Max, Sam, Clayton all looked quite finely tuned in, Impressed wi Mendy (sign him now) Ramon Nunez tops Killkenny all day long. So what i think am trying to say is we have no worries wi the up n coming season just cos we havent made any major signings...M.O.T

Im smudgers biggest fan i'd have him back in a heartbeat but its not going to happen. i was talking to someone today who works in uefa and used to cover leeds games on the radio and will interview smudge in a couple of weeks about a famous night in europe containing 7-1 win over Roma. But he said the night we were relagated he was in the pub trying to pull a few chicks and was saying hes sad for his mates but he new he was leaving in the janurary He took one for the team but i dont thing he has any desire to return to leeds because he will get alot of stick because of his decision to leave to the Scum Im sorry but i dont feel as though smudger will be back any time soon. Unfortunatly

at the image of confirmed teetotaller smith in a pub...mind you he couldve had a few diet cokes
oh and behave I'm the biggest smith nutter on here as the eds will tell you
I don't think he'll come back but hey :-/

Agree0 Disagree0

You would imagine he would know the name of the team he beat 7-1 lol

Agree0 Disagree0

Nunez looks good but can someone tell me were he fits in? Because it seems as if he likes to play were howson plays and I don't think we could drop howson back into the defensive 2 as he is not as strong there.

Believable3 Unbelievable0

Impact forward, much like Somma

Agree0 Disagree0

He can play off someone like bechioo when fit, good creative player to create chances for luciano:)

Agree0 Disagree0

Possibly our back up striker while Luciano and Somma are out?

Agree0 Disagree0

Nunez is too good to be sat on the bench for too long.

I wouldn't worry too much I doubt he reads this page. I would be more worried about the geniuses on his facebook page, no there is a right bunch of c**ts. No wonder the lad dont have confidence.

Please let's put this alan smith s**t to bed, the mans not coming for starters, we don't need him, secondly he's not in the same league as jonny howson, there's only room for one mr leeds utd and its HOWSON by miles.smith did not have the bollocks to even turn up today the man's a no hoper goin nowhere, let's hope he never sets foot in elland rd again and his name is never mentioned on here again thanks.

Believable6 Unbelievable5

Well people did say you sign for scum u don't come back and he took that literally so don't see why the boo boys are complaining

Agree0 Disagree0

The boo boys aren't complaining.

good performance today, thought kisnorbo and howson were immense, clayton shocked me to be honest i wasnt expecting much but he played really well, i dont know why we loaned him out when hes twice the player killkenny is, thought lonergan played well and made a top class save at 1-1 i think, nunez looks sharp the sort of player we needed and slex mendy didnt look bad either, unlike most of our wingers hes more of a think before tear arseing down the wind which i like, think lloyd sam is lacking confidence he didnt use his pace enough for me, ryan taylor would have had no chance against him but he chose to pass, the only criticism i have is connoly, just dont rate him i think a rb is needed i would love to see lichaj back on loan or on a perm MOT

Well done leeds beating them geordie scum. good luck for next season aswell. sunderland fan

Anyone see the game, what did you make of Mendy and Bodor? Any good?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

They looked ok we should give em a go

Agree0 Disagree0

Not sure about Bodor

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Jul 2011 18:09:26
How was Mendy today? Guess it's looking likely we will sign him?

Believable2 Unbelievable0

He did well. What he had to do, was very good. Looks to take people on and isn't scared to tackle. He doesn't overplay things and keeps it simple. I say sign him up.

Agree0 Disagree0

Was eager to get forward and not scared to take anyone on

Agree0 Disagree0

He may have done what he had to do well, but is he going to add to the team? I've seen he can play on the wing and also upfront, but I don't want to see average players, i want better players than last season.

Agree0 Disagree0

decent game today considering it was a friendly, sod the smith business it made it more enjoyable that he wasn't there tbh
played on the floor, looked a bit more organised, goalie looked ok, feel a bit more positive than I expected at the close of pre season

Jeez everyone is shouting and screaming bout paynter, howson played a much better game and O'Brien was a huge influence at the back. Get back to reality, we still need a much better striker to replace luciano and davide if we are to stand any chance of promotion.

Believable5 Unbelievable0

Couldn't agree more.. McCormack did ok in first half but would do much better playing with Becchio. Failing that we need someone like Rob Hulse I reckon .

Agree0 Disagree0

If we dont sign a striker our midfielders will score without Becs

Agree0 Disagree0

Ross was disappointing...needs to work on his runs so he doesnt get offside so much. Need another striker

Agree0 Disagree0

MOT Leeds 3 Newcastle 2
Payner scored he is on form get ready foR 30 goals from him

Believable2 Unbelievable1

Wouldn't get too excited... The Billy Bremner statue could have scored it.. Lol

Agree0 Disagree0

Lmao tbf he headed it in from a yard out. All the other touches he had looked like a puppy trying to kick a football

Agree0 Disagree0

I dont think that goal will do his confidence much good i replayed it 3 times and he did not touch the ball the newcastle lad hit it in sad to say.

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed just wondering where I would get the new Leeds black jersey. It's not on the club shop and I think it looks well. {Ed007's Note - The kit goes on sale on Saturday, August 20 and the club will accept pre-orders online from Friday, August 12}

Wots the Leeds v Newcastle score?

Believable0 Unbelievable1

One each

Agree0 Disagree0

The mighty Whites won 3-2. Played very well too. So much for all the whingers.

Agree0 Disagree0

Omg payner scored

Agree0 Disagree0

I'll second that.. In all fairness though, I wouldn't get too excited coz Newcastle were crap.

Agree0 Disagree0

Newcastle may have been crap.......but we had a few on the field only half-fit and Ben Parker at left-back.

gutted read todays sunday mirror interview with grayson - the most negative resigned interview Its over folks ...he is not the same fella
IMO i think Grayson has had enough and knows we are in trouble IMO i think he was interested / interviewed for Villa job ( didnt get it ) He is unable to sign players due over 10k a week due to bates purse ( we have lost 99% of whom he wanted ) he says he will lose his job one day - what kind of talk is this ? How depressing Simon ...Fans will be angry at this and rightly so ££££ BATES OUT
no signings this weekend as teased - he says maybe 2 in next couple of weeks
sincere best luck today I will be there MOT

Believable3 Unbelievable3

Leeds 3 Geordies 2. So much for that load of bollocks then.

Agree0 Disagree0

What a load of absolute sh1te ...

Everybody seems to be blaming uncle ken for not spending the money but what if the money is there but larry feels no need to dip into it? what u fink ed? {Ed001's Note - I am 100% sure that Grayson would spend more if he could.}

Believable2 Unbelievable1

31 Jul 2011 10:36:09
well no new signings as bates said this week 2 by this weekend what a joke u are bates wish someone would bye the club from u a concerned fan think this season going to be a long hard struggle

Believable6 Unbelievable1

I for one am totally ill with the lies and lack of transparency at ER.. since the 1st of July we have heard KB tell the fans two key signings before end of week.. its now end of month and all we have if 2 out of favour goalkeepers who were 2nd string.. its obvious the problem lies with the back four of Leeds and yet no concrete player to embed into the team before pre-season.. I hate to say this but Southampton away next week - 0 points

Agree0 Disagree0

Absolutely agree - bates ( or NO KEN DO as we should call him) lied yet again - first he said there would be 4 new signings now the 2 he said we would have before the Newcastle game have not come true - I'm fed up of his bull s##t - I suppose at the end of the window we will get the "we tried so hard but" excuses

Agree0 Disagree0

I'm the one who posted ages ago that this would happen and got slated for it - now can I say I told you so

Agree0 Disagree0

The 2 key signings are lonergran and brown

Agree0 Disagree0

You told us what? You know nothing.

Agree0 Disagree0

What I told you is that bates wouldn't spend any money and the best we would get is freebies and loans - as we gabby even got that yet - I'll repeat I TOLD YOU SO - understandy da english

Agree0 Disagree0

does anyone else think le fondre would do a better job than paynter? i do, but i also think instead of making our players feel the pressure of failure at elland road, i.e paynter, we should cheer them to the hilt and help push the lads on to do well

Believable2 Unbelievable0

Foooock me I would do a better job than Paynter

Agree0 Disagree0

Paynter by name, painter by nature

Agree0 Disagree0

I agree with ya mate but getting a replacement would be a rite kick in the teeth but I'm behind who ever plays for Leeds 100% MOT
