Sunderland showing us how it's done by grinding out wins. A long way to go but they were one of the teams I was hoping to be above and avoid relegation.
Today and against Fulham is a minimum of 3 points dropped after playing so well until the last 15 minutes.
Is Farke showing too much respect to these teams and not showing enough faith in our lads?

Corkster, please don't keep holding up Sunderland as the marker against which we are measured. Honestly, forget em, it's early. Fulham was unfortunate, today again unfortunate, but it's the players switching off Not DF. We bought 10 players in, we tweaked our style, it takes time. But ask yourself, considering our opening fixtures, would you be happy with 2 wins 2 draws 2 defeats? Absolutely!
27 Sep 2025 21:21:32
Totally agree with the points we’ve gained question.
But we have still definitely dropped 3 points this season. Have to take your opportunities when they come. This is big boy football we are in.
27 Sep 2025 21:52:12
Understand your frustration Corkster and yes we could have more points than we have. But we could also have less. Think we need to look at the performances, Arsenal apart, very solid. Football is transient, not always best team wins, not always tactics work, so many variables, form, luck, confidence etc, but we have a great team ethos. But is that not the addiction? The belonging, the agony and ecstacy, the uncertainty, the ride?

In football luck can sway both ways, over a season i believe it generally evens itself out, absolutely not concerned about conceding last minute goals against Fulham and today with Bournemouth.
Farke has got this team going in the right direction and we are improving with every game. We not only matched Bournemouth who are no mugs in this league under Iraola, but we bettered them over the 90 mins.
Cruel finish yes but very happy with the performance today and especially with Farke’s overall decisions and tactics.
Couldn’t give a flying f@@k about Sunderland, they have zero bearing on our club, maybe they survive this season or maybe they don’t it really doesn’t matter either way. Why would it?
27 Sep 2025 22:27:08
Totally agree the performances have been very good and that’s why I’m frustrated.
Need to make hay when the sun shines and we’ve not done that. We will go through spells with injuries n not playing well so bagging the points now while things are rosie is a missed opportunity.

Sunderland showing us how it’s dine by not having a huge prs bill. As proven by fact we have 250 million
Debt poor old genius farke has to cover.
So Sunderland secret to success. don’t hire Belisa. That’s just facts but for some reason Leeds fans won’t have it. The 250 deficit we had before farke joined appeently is farke fault? Would make me laugh if I wasn’t in tears of frustration.
28 Sep 2025 04:06:48
That is one very boring post bermo.
28 Sep 2025 11:38:31
But it’s spot on ain’t it aus, your posts are boring. As least mine have facts and a touch of logic.
28 Sep 2025 12:02:48
And factually incorrect, just a simple review of Transfermarkt here
Clearly shows every Leeds United window including players in and out.
But hey never let facts get in the way of your chosen narrative.
28 Sep 2025 13:06:15
Bermo spouting utter bollox again! God knows where he gets his stats from?
28 Sep 2025 13:10:17
Class leeds bloke (robbie Elliot? ) told leeds journalist
‘When we (49ners) had a debt of over 250 million’ when we took over, we (farke) has done well to balance the books and still achieve (record breaking) promotion, but sins of the past have affected our latest window
Now these are facts given by the clubs senior staff to professional journalists… but don’t worry class you say it’s all lies… so I’ll trust you over them and companies house!
But like mes wasn’t in championship team of the year, leeds fans have some huge blind spots and flaws with logic.
{Ed001's Note - but you said it was Bielsa's fault when he didn't control the money, so no logic, plus no sense as you have no idea how that debt was accrued or who it was owed to for what. You clearly have no understanding of football finances, just a massive chip on your shoulder.}
28 Sep 2025 16:24:18
Ed it is true Belisa was not in charge for f the finances but he did have huge say in players picked and was responsible for team becoming a joke. Despit le the money being spent (hence he was back with lot of money and time)
Now farke getting hard time despite having far worse fininaces to deal with due to ‘sins of the past’
So my logic is why love Belisa and hate in farke when pound for pound farke doing a far better job? It’s just factually illogical
No chip on my shoulder just a huge dollop of disbelief and frustration
No need for the personal and direct attack on me, that’s not the nature of this forum!
Oh from an Ed as well lol!
{Ed001's Note - if you say so.}
28 Sep 2025 16:49:11
Great response, no apology for the personal direct and uncalled for attack and when i post logic and point I get that response?
When I am directing i demand a certain kind of ethic, decency and professionalism from my staff. As an Ed I expect the same to be honest.
Slightly dissapointed from what is a good site.
{Ed001's Note - right of course. Give it a rest.}
28 Sep 2025 18:50:49
Berm the “sins of the past” are Leeds United under the previous ownership giving out crazy contracts, over paying for average players and the majority of those players we signed still owing big money to the clubs we bought them from. Radz also bought the ground back at over 20 million.
So yes the PSR situation wasn’t great this season but that’s not on Bielsa as he had nothing to do with the finances.
28 Sep 2025 18:57:26
Think it's time to put this one to bed folks. Views on the Messiah and DF are well advertised and have been aired many times, Bermos views are deeply entrenched and no amount of ping pong is going to change that, it just causes friction and animosity when it comes up.
So I would suggest give a dog a nice chew and Bury that old bone, after all ALAW and our beloved club is bigger than everything ?.
28 Sep 2025 21:12:28
Well said vid
Very happy to bury it like a bone but at the same time I’m not going to ignore bating either I’m just that type of dog.
