Reports have suggested Leeds have made enquiries about a potential January loan for England Under-21 international and Manchester City youngster James McAtee as a creative force at the base of the forward line.
1.) 20 Nov 2024 17:17:19
That would be some signing, Alf!
2.) 22 Nov 2024 16:06:40
It would be a terrific signing but wanna put a bet on it not happening.
3.) 22 Nov 2024 17:05:13
That would probably be a safe bet, Bri! ?.
16 Nov 2024 06:35:08
Leeds also showing interest in Gent LB Archie Brown as a possible Firpo replacement.
23 Oct 2024 19:49:01
Josuha Guilavogui signs for #LUFC until the end of the season. Could be involved as soon as this weekend vs Bristol City, pending int'l clearance and a work permit.
1.) 23 Oct 2024 22:26:48
Tell yer what Alfie lad you've finally nailed one ?.
17 Oct 2024 19:54:21
Francis Coquelin is on trial at Leeds United. ?
Ex-Arsenal midfielder.
1.) 18 Oct 2024 05:29:02
Any chance they can get some strikers or goalies in?
2.) 18 Oct 2024 13:33:02
Err no Cuppa
Coquelin is NOT at ER (let alone having a trial) according to Graham Smyth of YEP.
Another player is though at ER having a trial again according to YEP.
3.) 18 Oct 2024 22:46:16
What does Smyth know. He can't even make a decent cuppa.
4.) 18 Oct 2024 23:06:22
We’ve had a player on trial for 5 days now. Josuha Guilavogui.
5.) 19 Oct 2024 11:11:08
LAD yep.
11 Oct 2024 20:10:02
Apparently we have agreed terms with Cheikou Kouyate - the 34 year old Senegalese midfielder who used to play for Notts Forest. Cover for Amps and Gruev.
1.) 11 Oct 2024 21:24:40
Cheikou time.
2.) 11 Oct 2024 23:01:58
Free Agent signed Cheick ✅.
3.) 12 Oct 2024 11:30:40
I'm OK with that. We might score from a corner with him!
4.) 12 Oct 2024 20:33:46
Err apparently we have NOT Cuppa.
5.) 13 Oct 2024 08:45:17
What only one in for fxxxxxsake.
6.) 14 Oct 2024 16:23:30
agreeing terms doesn't mean the transfer is done Baz - just that we have agreed terms (wages etc) with the player. A transfer isn't done until the contract is signed.
7.) 14 Oct 2024 17:52:38
Cuppa . so in otherwords we ain't signed anyone.
8.) 15 Oct 2024 13:10:00
Baz Reportedly we've u-turned and now set to sign CK.
9.) 15 Oct 2024 13:55:48
Ŵe shall see George. our small injury ravaged squad needs new players.
10.) 17 Oct 2024 19:55:54
The post doesn't say we signed anyone.

Fantastic result tonight with some big saves from Meslier to keep our noses in front. Hope we keep winning and turning the screw on the rest of the league.
1.) 27 Nov 2024 22:48:43
Struick off line saved no mans land Mes in first half
2 good stops in 2nd half.
2.) 27 Nov 2024 22:58:51
Didn’t see the game but stats say dominant. As Farke says conversion rate needs improving. Read struik saved mez blushes. Good he made a couple good ones. Happy happy to be top but as I’ve said all season, we should romp it. Told my dad we will
Win by 10 clear.
Next game a toughie though.
3.) 27 Nov 2024 23:18:14
Thought Farke had an excellent game as a Manager tonight, was a little nervous tonight because Luton, well you never know.
But got his line up right based upon goal scorers and the all important result, plus he utilised his subs, squad very well.
Hopefully, this is the start of the next 15 unbeaten run.
4.) 27 Nov 2024 23:54:47
Great game.
Possibly the best Leeds have played this season?
5.) 28 Nov 2024 05:52:10
Typical mot. I missed it. They can be a pleasure to watch sometimes. Just bit too much tippy tappy at times.
6.) 28 Nov 2024 14:43:26
The tippy tappy had me a bit worried for a few minutes, aus. I thought we were going to park the bus. Then Rothwell (I think) just took the ball and charged and it was push push push again.
7.) 28 Nov 2024 16:56:13
Yep MoT. We went a bit wet after the goal, but like you say, stepped it back up again after about ten minutes of tappity.
16 Nov 2024 06:34:08
So sorry to hear about Ed002. RIP.
1.) 16 Nov 2024 07:01:18
Absolutely Alf. Condolences to all of his family, and friends.
2.) 16 Nov 2024 07:02:55
Yes. Very sad news.
3.) 16 Nov 2024 08:39:43
Yes my condolences to ED002 family and friends.
And yes a very, very knowledgeable chap on all things football.
4.) 16 Nov 2024 09:31:47
Ed002 RIP.
Condolences ? to his family, friends and co-Eds.
5.) 16 Nov 2024 10:51:13
Condolences to all who knew him closely.
6.) 16 Nov 2024 11:11:26
Incredibly sad news, my condolences to his family and friends, and for Ed001 it is clearly apparent how much your friend and colleague impacted upon your life.
But remember together you both created something, something that is used and enjoyed by so many like minded people, a legacy built on that friendship and I hope in time, that gives you great pride and additional comfort as you continue to deal with the loss of your friend and colleague.
{Ed001's Note - thank you Class.}
7.) 16 Nov 2024 12:00:03
RIP Ed002, my sincere condolences to his family and friends, and you Ed001.
{Ed001's Note - thank you very much MG.}
14 Nov 2024 12:17:05
another one from the same source:
Can you name every unique English Football team name ending (suffix) ?
For clarity.
• These are teams from the top 4 English leagues only (PL, Champ, L1 and L2)
• Single team names, such as Arsenal, are not included.
• A. F. C is not included as a Suffix or team names starting with A. F. C. don’t have the place name as their suffix either. For example, ‘Sunderland’ isn’t an answer for their official name, A. F. C. Sunderland and also teams such as Barrow A. F. C.
• ‘Club’ is not a suffix.
• There are 21 teams in total.
1.) 14 Nov 2024 13:12:55
AFC Bournemouth. . thatll do ?.
2.) 14 Nov 2024 13:14:31
Don’t get that at all.
3.) 14 Nov 2024 15:06:49
21?
I only have 13 unique ones.
Sure you don't mean 21 different ones rather than unique?
4.) 14 Nov 2024 15:32:36
Alf I get 14 unique ones and 21 altogether (7 multiple teams have the same suffix) so I guess that's what what was meant. I won't list so people have time to have a go.
5.) 14 Nov 2024 18:15:45
Does anybody else remember the early 90s (I think? ) sitcom The Detectives with Jasper Carrott? One episode revolved around this question, so has helped me get a few of the harder ones!
6.) 14 Nov 2024 21:04:22
I'm up to 15 - still thinking through them.
7.) 14 Nov 2024 21:21:03
Good one Alf. Got them but as Canada said, won't spoil it for the others.
8.) 15 Nov 2024 13:28:06
No - I mean 21 different ones. See below:
United
City
Villa
Albion
Wanderers
Palace
Rovers
Rangers
Vale
Town
Hotspur
Athletic
(North) End
Forest
County
Wednesday
Orient
Alexandra
Argyle
Dons
Stanley.
9.) 15 Nov 2024 13:29:48
Loved Jasper Carrott and The Detectives. Great comedian.
10.) 15 Nov 2024 13:55:44
A bit dry
Preferred the actual football quizzes. Cleggys was excellent.
13 Nov 2024 18:04:06
Definitely not LUFC related sadly but here's a football brain teaser I nicked from elsewhere:
There have been (to date) 34 players to have scored 100 or more goals in the Premier League.
There are 13 (of the 34) players who have 100 or more goals but have not won the premier league - can you name them?
1.) 13 Nov 2024 19:10:17
Le Tissier surely . one of the best ever
Fowler, Owen . probably Les. Ferdinand. Kevin Phillips.
2.) 13 Nov 2024 20:42:49
Robbie flower
Robbie Keane
Steven gerrard
Michael Owen
Harry Kane
Coke straight to mind need to think about others great question.
3.) 13 Nov 2024 20:44:47
Matt le tisser of course
Maybe son?
4.) 13 Nov 2024 21:58:00
Did Owen win it with Man U?
I’m trying to think of journeyman strikers. Did Darren Bent score enough?
5.) 13 Nov 2024 22:03:20
Throw in Defoe Vardy and maybe Darren Bent.
6.) 13 Nov 2024 22:05:38
Heskey?
7.) 13 Nov 2024 22:25:04
Kevin Phillips?
Great question Alf.
8.) 13 Nov 2024 22:26:27
Viduka?
9.) 13 Nov 2024 22:32:13
Peter Crouch?
10.) 14 Nov 2024 12:14:57
some great shouts there - the answers are as follows (and do actually include a few who represented the mighty Leeds) :
Harry Kane – 213
Jermain Defoe – 163
Robbie Fowler – 162
Les Ferdinand – 150
Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink – 129
Robbie Keane – 126
Romelu Lukaku – 121
Son Heung-min – 120
Steven Gerrard – 120
Emile Heskey – 111
Darren Bent – 106
Peter Crouch – 106
Matt Le Tissier - 101.
11.) 14 Nov 2024 12:15:49
Vardy did win the EPL by the way with Leicester.
12.) 14 Nov 2024 13:14:56
.3 Leeds players JFH Keane, Fowler.
13.) 14 Nov 2024 13:17:11
Le tiss the magician. Wow. He could see the net.
Top three. Jim son and matt.
14.) 15 Nov 2024 21:15:25
Heskey bent and of course jimmy!
Great question even if reading the answer made me smack myself for not getting more of them.
12 Nov 2024 16:19:37
According to Joe Tiffany: Understand with regards to the expansion of Elland Road:
The stadium is going to be extended in the west and the kop, the kop getting another tier, The Kop will be higher than the east stand with current plans
Hospitality will go from 3k to 9k.
No stands will be closed during construction.
Club to officially release this info soon as it’s gone to council/ planning permission etc.
1.) 12 Nov 2024 17:09:13
Yeah I read that last night Alfie. Intrigues how the stands stay open, but I’m not a construction expert. Doubt standing will be reintroduced in the Kop if it’s higher than the East stand! ?.
2.) 12 Nov 2024 17:58:39
I think they did the same thing at Anfield - essentially build around the existing stand and then remove or integrate the existing structure later in the process.
03 Nov 2024 21:01:32
Typical Aussie - full of hot air but all talk and no trousers.
18 Oct 2024 22:46:16
What does Smyth know. He can't even make a decent cuppa.
17 Oct 2024 19:55:54
The post doesn't say we signed anyone.
14 Oct 2024 16:23:30
agreeing terms doesn't mean the transfer is done Baz - just that we have agreed terms (wages etc) with the player. A transfer isn't done until the contract is signed.
15 Sep 2024 19:43:10
Depends what league we are in and what wages he is asking. He must be one of the Champs highest earners.
02 Dec 2024 18:00:19
it will of course be an away game.
02 Dec 2024 15:09:17
Baz doesn't tell the truth though George. He twists everything that he and everybody else says to make him seem right in any given situation. From your posts I attached a degree of intelligence to you as a person but if you cannot see that then maybe I am wrong.
02 Dec 2024 12:42:56
we have a very good squad but still lack some key players - most notably a CAM and striker. without those two we will continue to struggle against the low block and results like Blackburn will continue to happen. Also, our defence is nowhere near as good as we like to think it is.
24 Nov 2024 23:26:52
Baz you are so full of ?. It's more to do with getting back to fitness than positions as I told you when you were slagging Solomon off after he played half a dozen minutes coming back from injury. You should be a politician.
24 Nov 2024 06:51:02
I thought your guest might have been Baz until I read the word positive.
Get well soon CA.
