Varney missed a sitter from 4 yards

leeds hit the bar and he missed from 4 fecking yards

punk77 · 16-04-2013 8:36pm

It's now 19 league matches on the trot without a 1st half goal

SarahBM · 16-04-2013 8:53pm

Got chatting to the house mates and forgot we were playing.

Probably had the better of the 1st half. Passing it around well but no cutting edge. Varney missed a sitter but apart from that it sure ain't edge of the seat stuff.

They must have heard me!!!! COME ON YOU MIGHTY WHITES!!!

SarahBM · 16-04-2013 9:19pm

Eddie Gray and Thom Kirwin sound genuinely shocked at how well Leeds are playing! Havent heard them be this positive in a long while

punk77 · 16-04-2013 9:41pm

Great stuff. We're surely safe now. Breathe in, breathe out...........:D

stryker mcqueen · 16-04-2013 9:45pm

safe ?? we're playoff bound haha

event · 16-04-2013 9:57pm

birmingham we can beat.
Watford and brighton, we could end up with nothing there tbh. ]

very happy with the last two games.

If only we had BMcD 4 games earlier...

...or back in January when it was kinda obvious that a change was needed.

Ah well, I guess if we keep looking to the past, we'll miss the future

Crap, Cardiff got promoted. I hate that lot. :mad:

SarahBM · 16-04-2013 10:31pm

Who cares about Cardiff!

"we're Leeds United, we pass the Ball!" - chant of the season?

Looking good to bypass the first round of the Carling Cup now

McDermott saying he wishes there were 6 games to go instead of 3. Very positive comments, which I'm sure transmits to the players. It would have been easy for him to say let's get this season over and rebuild etc.

Ceist_Beag · 17-04-2013 9:10am

Alright it has only been a couple of games but already a couple of things are coming out that makes things look very positive for next season. There was a telling comment from Varney after the game on Saturday - ""To see someone over in the dug-out telling us to pass the ball was great, it's obviously a different outcome and it really worked on Saturday." - just shows what life was like under Warnock! It's a shame we didn't get him in a couple of weeks earlier as the playoffs are out of reach now (unless a miracle happens!) but the poor run of 4 defeats in a row all happened when McDermott was available and even one win in those 4 would have left us with a shot at the playoffs.

Ceist_Beag · 17-04-2013 12:20pm

Goal and report from last night here - love the chant "We're Leeds United and we're passing the ball"

Zaph · 19-04-2013 1:28pm

Article about Sam Byram on the BBC website here. Seems like a very level headed guy, hopefully we'll be able to hold on to him for at least another season or two rather than offloading him to the first team that comes in with an offer.

punk77 · 20-04-2013 1:40pm

Good article about BMcD by Hay in today's YEP:

http://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/sport/leeds-united/latest-whites-news/leeds-united-mcdermott-building-bridges-with-both-players-and-supporters-hay-1-5598225

Crucial that he will be buying a home in the area and not commuting a la Warnock. It's important that the manager involves himself totally in the club and involves himself at all levels, i.e Academy, U-18s, Development squad etc., and not just the first team squad.

punk77 · 20-04-2013 2:12pm

Today's team at Birmingham :

Kenny, Lees, Pearce, Byram, Green, Austin, Varney, Warnock (C), Tonge, Diouf, McCormack.

Subs : Ashdown, Drury, Peltier, White, Brown, Morison, Habibou.

Same team but subs look uninspiring. No Poleon, Hall or Dawson.

Ah well, another away defeat but at least it's 100% certain now that we won't be relegated.

Bad luck for Somma, under the knife again.

Zaph · 21-04-2013 12:07pm

That's pretty rough on him. With his knee that fragile and his contract up in the summer he definitely won't be kept on, but he'll also struggle to find a new club as i can't see to many willing to gamble on him.

Can't see us spending money on an op either though if he wasn't in someone's plans. Maybe some kind of pay and play deal ??

That is fcuking woeful. It's one of the worst strips we've ever had. Since when are thick blue stripes part of the Leeds strip? And what's with the bloody huge Macron logos on both shoulders?

maximoose · 24-04-2013 5:18pm

That stripe is awful.

event · 24-04-2013 5:22pm

hideous

SarahBM · 24-04-2013 5:24pm

I hate the new kit. no amount of "go-faster" stripes are going to make vareny any faster. fact.

Why cant they just have a White or Blue kit like the old days. That Thistle Hotels kit from the 90s was class. Strongbow Blue one was one of my favs.

The all-white Thistle strip, with the 1970s style LUFC on it? That was my absolute favourite of any strip since the original version of it. I also liked the navy and green Thistle away strip, it was something a bit different for us.

I ment the navy and green one. I thought it was cool.

+1 on the white thistle kit....asics did some good kits around that time even the one with the yellow and blue stripes across the middle..

carmanard · 24-04-2013 10:15pm

Long time lurker, first time poster. Leeds fan since the late 80's, it's good to see I'm not suffering alone these days!! Delighted about McDermott getting the job, onwards & upwards from next season I hope. Though, having seen the pics, I won't be splashing out on the new home jersey, it's absolutely gank, reminds me of some of the kappa horror shows from a few years back... Anyway, just letting ye all know there's yet another fan around... Keep the faith!!!

punk77 · 24-04-2013 10:32pm

Tbh, I wouldn't give a damn if our kit comprised of black bin liners once the team was capable of playing good football and winning matches.
Come to think of it, with some of the rubbish we played this season, maybe black bin liners would've been an appropriate kit.

G.K. · 24-04-2013 10:35pm

My mother just described it as 'looking like a cigarette packet'.

Hijpo · 24-04-2013 10:37pm

Im still going to buy it

No doubt partly funded by the 20 bucks you saved by NOT betting on us getting relegated
