Well peeps, this is my last word on this, honest, well maybe lol. Its great to see the positivity and excitement but hands up, there were plenty criticising a few weeks ago, frustration, impatience borne of what others were doing ie Sunderland, who would you rather be now? As I said, I am sure our custodians had a plan, knew what they were doing and would work to it. Trouble is the white noise from the media and well, basically fear of failure. This is where the faith comes in. Anyone who has been on this site for a few years will know I have had the utmost faith in the 49ers and DF since it began. It was never going to be a quick fix, nothing worthwhile and sustainable ever is, but LOOK at us now! Wow this is going to be the latest thrilling ride, I have seen a few since 1972, also the depths of despair. BUT, as I have said, all through it, we are LEEDS, it's magic, sometimes tragic, but always a brotherhood. A successful Leeds is a thing of wonder and we have front row seats siblings, it's going to be amazing. UTWDTP whatever may come.

Nobody says it like you vid.

Fantastic post Vid, you are a legend poster mate and a very very honest optimist ?????.

Happy to be impatient and want quick buys. Happy with the business that has been done. Let’s see how they perform in the big league before getting carried away. On the fence until I see how we perform first few games.

Perfectly put Vid, easy to get frustrated especially our slow transfer activity over the recent times. Like you I've seen plenty of ups and downs over the years, but things are looking different this time with our owners backing Farke and giving us the best chance at staying in this league.
It's also refreshing to see lots of new names in our Banter site squad and can't remember in the last few years when this site has been so balanced and enjoyable to use.
So looking forward to this coming season both on the field and on this forum. I wish everyone connected with this club and the forum all the best for the coming season.

Blimey, never sit on the fence Aus you will get creosote on your shorts and splinters in your bottom!

Quick buys like JKA, Koch, Casilla, Rassy, wober etc etc?
25 Jul 2025 08:18:57
Completely agree Vid. This could turn out to be the best transfer period we have had for a long long time.
Very excited for the coming season now.

I’ll hold my hands up I was one of the shouters but I stand corrected fingers crossed they gel quickly and we target those teams we can get points off West Ham toffees wolves Brentford Burnley Sunderland and palace are playing twice a week so have a hit at them too. Target these home and away then all the big ones make their lives misery at ER.
25 Jul 2025 10:26:31
That’s the key long. Hopefully gel quickly and be smart with who and how we play.

Well said vid as always.
It is easy that get impatient and panic but you have to take step back and look at bigger picture. Last three windows 49ners have played near perfect hand. It would be foolish to expect that to change now.
Now farke and 49ners we have to trust they haven’t let us down yet.

I think MR DANIEL FARKE goes deeper with players there attitudes and how they when there not playing football if you get the drift I was frustrated with all this player that player but hats off to 49ers upto now mot to all.

Excellent post s lads and as I am a newbie I think most of banter and talking, on here as been fine and myself am getting quite excited about reading your reports, and what you think on the games we play but like I’ve said already I think we will shock a few teams, as we know Leeds are very strong at defending and hitting teams on counterattack, which is our game, but I also think we will take points of some of the teams we shouldn’t, I honestly believe Leeds have had a tremendous window for a change and with still people to come exciting times. ????.

Like John has just said, this is a great thread. Lots of new additions to the site, lots of varying views, and an exciting season in prospect both on the pitch, and in here! Love it!
