5th lads..

Christ almighty, Leeds in 5th and it's nearly December.

What is this madness!

One sobering fact is that we're still closer to the relegation spots than we are to Newcastle in 1st...

iseegirls · 27-11-2016 9:24am

I think most of the players were thinking of Liverpool on Tuesday during that second half.

joeysoap · 27-11-2016 6:50pm

Nail biting stuff and I agree 2-0 up against a team with 10 men, first team goalie off and we struggle to finish them off. Officials didn't appear to notice that clear handball by a Rotherham player just before they ballooned that late chance.

fermanagh_man · 28-11-2016 9:18am

Anyone going to Anfield?

Missed out on away end tickets so I've to settle for the home end

Also had a dream we won 2-1, injury time Roofe winner then I got thrown out for celebrating

28-11-2016 1:35pm

Could get well beaten if Liverpool play their first 11.

Still, you always think of that day in Old Trafford in 2010 in another Cup. Our one really good day in 12 or 13 years. Oh look, any excuse to watch it again...why Beckford and Grayson should never have to buy a drink in Leeds...

3-0 to Liverpool.

Zaph · 29-11-2016 7:47pm

I'll be marginally more positive and say 2-0 to Liverpool.

Trend Setter in Training · 29-11-2016 8:04pm

We'll nick it 2-1

Zaph · 29-11-2016 8:34pm

Jansson out sick and Wood on the bench.

Zaph · 29-11-2016 9:38pm

Happy with that first half. Liverpool are clearly the better side, but they haven't made it count.

29-11-2016 9:46pm

5th in the table, comfortable first half at Anfield...I'd almost get optimistic, except it's Leeds...and the owner is still insane...

29-11-2016 10:14pm

Luke Ayling should be held down and shorn.

That's some flashy wedding ring Ross McCormack bought himself...

About time he's done something since leaving Leeds!

Aye fairly lame attacking wise .. shaky at times in defence - hard to see where the win coming is coming from

Zaph · 03-12-2016 8:01pm

What a cross from Doukara! And a lovely finish from Roofe.

Mushy · 03-12-2016 8:01pm

Fantastic goal, absolutely brilliant.

Delighted for him!

purple hands · 03-12-2016 8:09pm

Pontus needs to be careful here, that was a bit daft

purple hands · 03-12-2016 8:26pm

feckin get in

Wood really deserves that, has barely gotten a sniff all game but works so tirelessly

Shlippery · 03-12-2016 8:27pm

this is the best birthday ever.

christ almighty the smile on my face right now.

Mushy · 03-12-2016 8:29pm

Thats a great result!

03-12-2016 8:33pm

For the first time in years I'll concede...that's a solid Leeds team. Very few weak links. Some, like Jansson, are amongst the best in their positions in the Championship, very well supported by a team that looks...again for the first time in years...hungry.

And clearly a fine manager. Friend just texted "best since Wilkinson", perhaps still early for that, but he's doing a great job.

04-12-2016 12:21am

Ah Jesus folks. We have possibly our best manager in years looking after a very solid outfit. And it's classic Leeds, not that fancy outfit that David O'Leary put together, more like that efficient and workmanlike group that Wilkinson put together to take Leeds up. With a midfield that could break at will and put the ball into a strong striker...sure Roofe, Doukara, Sacko and Wood don't compare with McAllister, Strachan, Speed and Chapman, but let's show a bit more enthusiasm...

championc · 04-12-2016 1:17am

What a time to have Brighton next followed by Reading. This team is ready for anyone right now. High on self belief. Other results this weekend really went our way too.

quarryman · 04-12-2016 9:58am

Was at the game. Twas amazing to see a full Elland Road again.

MOT!

A fine manager who's contract runs out at the end of the season. Need to get him signed up asap.

04-12-2016 1:30pm

Bigger crowd yesterday than at White Hart Lane and a few other EPL fixtures. With Newcastle and Villa coming down, and teams like Leeds, Wednesday and Derby hovering around play off spots, could be a big year for Championship attendances...

A couple from my end disappointing for us but a good atmosphere

tfer · 05-12-2016 9:56pm

So we visit Cambridge United in the FA cup, 1st week in Jan.
I know the league is top priority but I love the cup, hopefully get past 2 or 3 rounds

Kingp35 · 07-12-2016 6:51pm

It was all going so well! Cellino faces an 18 month ban from football and a £250k fine over a payment made as part of the Ross McCormack transfer to Fulham. The club also faces a £250k fine.

A message from Massimo Cellino.
I am surprised to read the news regarding the FA’s intentions to ban and fine me, as well as fine the Club. I am not guilty and I will take the right steps to defend myself through the tribunal.

I feel that I am guilty of one thing, protecting Leeds United since I took charge of the Club. I ask the players, manager and my staff to continue to work with loyalty and professionalism and to keep fighting for the Club everyday on and off the pitch.

I am sure that the public in this country and the free press will take the time to look into this case and find the truth.

Massimo Cellino

Still being haunted by things of the past. Can they not shag off and leave it off.

Can we not enjoy the run of good results without this media bull**** creating a storm and causing unrest!

The good news just keeps rolling in! Could we appeal and ask for a lifetime ban?

Its Breaking news on SS News now. Cellino banned for 18 months and fined £250,000 for breach of rules regarding agents. Club also fined £250,000 over sale of Ross McCormack. Ban to take effect from 1/2/2017.

Kingp35 · 08-12-2016 5:27pm

I reckon he will try and sell the club asap now.

Ceist_Beag · 08-12-2016 5:31pm

I'm no fan of MC but ffs, just when the team is going really well this **** happens. I swear there is a curse on this team since we got relegated from the PL! :mad:

quarryman · 08-12-2016 7:11pm

Will this really make a huge difference considering he won't be around to mess things around?

Also, might hasten his exit...

blaa85 · 08-12-2016 9:06pm

I wonder will this effect investing in the team in January? I would imagine with the promotion push we are on, we should be able to attract higher quality players to the club.

It's instability in the middle of a crucial part of the season. Things were settled down where the only talk was of how the team was performing. This has the potential to unsettle things again and as blaa85 said, it will very possibly impact on any potential January dealings in the transfer market.
Unless we have a buyer waiting to move in who is prepared to take over swiftly without dragging it out (and who is prepared to back the club in January or allow the club room to trade in January), I can't see any way of looking at this as anything other than a negative with the potential to halt our gallop.

Kingp35 · 09-12-2016 9:10pm

Disaster, Phillips handles it on the line. Down to ten men and Brighton score the penalty. Would have been better off just conceding the goal!

Let alone Janssen and Ayling are on yellows, and I don't think they'll last.

Mushy · 09-12-2016 10:28pm

Poor by Bartley there.

Still be nice if it was recognised that Brighton player had the Jersey held.

purple hands · 10-12-2016 10:18am

On the plus side, some "trusted posters" on waccoe reckon a takeover deal is done

purple hands · 13-12-2016 9:34pm
