FFS... 4-1 is still on!

SarahBM · 23-08-2011 8:01pm

great start

I did say 4-1 though

mise · 23-08-2011 8:17pm

Sounds like a good goal by Nunez. Hoping when Clayton is brought back in at the weekend, he won't be dropped.

G.K. · 23-08-2011 8:29pm

Missed the Nunez goal to got to the toilet... Better replay it at HT...

fanzhiyidan · 23-08-2011 8:37pm

what were the goals like lads and sarah?

First was bad by us, but I missed the 2nd. just in the door, stupid exercise!

Leeds fans sound amazing ( as usual!)

Nunez scored for leeds. more donny than leeds according to the twitterwhites

extra time and pens if it ends in a draw.

SarahBM · 23-08-2011 9:05pm

OH NO!!! WHITE GONE OFF INJURED!!!

G.K. · 23-08-2011 9:06pm

Not serious enough to be a stretcher, thankfully. Just hope he isn't rushed back if he's going to be out for any time.

I think they have learnt their lesson about bring back players before they are fully fit

Paddy coming on now I think. O'Dea is limping.

edit. O'Brien gone off, 3320 Leeds fans with an 8000ish crowd.

SarahBM · 23-08-2011 9:28pm

NUNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2-1 GET IN!!!

Q_Ball · 23-08-2011 9:28pm

Nunez makes it two.

He can't be left out of the squad Saturday surely?

G.K. · 23-08-2011 9:29pm

I wouldn't put it past Grayson.

As for coming in the only playrs he can really replace are Gradel or Ross which would be hard on both.

Nunez is a fricking beast.

Q_Ball · 23-08-2011 9:37pm

Just saw the goals from the west ham game, that was some clinical finish from paddy

event · 23-08-2011 9:52pm

if he drops nunez at the weekend he's a ****ing idiot

RobTheLad · 23-08-2011 9:52pm

just seen the goals there on sky sports news, nunez two goals were both crackers, he has to start on saturday!

a fricking beast whose contract expires in the summer!
It was good work on behalf of Grayson to only give him a short term contract but in all fairness to the guy I think he's proven that he's worth an extension.
Just get out the tipex on Paynter's contract and change the name.

ronan.h · 23-08-2011 9:53pm

The two from Nunez just on SSN there. Sweetly taken strikes! Now how to fit him into the starting XI for the league??

G.K. · 23-08-2011 10:10pm

Goals:

Not brilliant quality video but goals visible all the same

darrenh · 23-08-2011 10:32pm

The question with Nunez is who do you drop? Gradel, Snoddy, Howson or McCormack? Also, should we cash in on Gradel or Snoddy, hope nunez continues form for the season and use the money to strengthen CB. The goal we gave away tonight was laughable again. The only problem is Bates might use the money to put a hotel at each stand!

Wingman2010 · 23-08-2011 11:53pm

Paddy McCourt would be a good signing. I can't understand why this very useful can't get a game in the SPL. Seemingly Liverpool were interested in him after the exhibition he gave recently for Northern Ireland.

event · 24-08-2011 8:39am

we dont need wingers though.

a striker and a CB

fred252 · 24-08-2011 12:33pm

nunez and keogh up front for ipswich?

That's the only way I'd say he will fit in the squad with Gradel and Snodgrass fit.

This sounds good: http://www.leedsunited.com/news/20110824/ea-sports-joins-partner-programme_2247585_2429393

I'm a big Fifa fan, and so far I've only read that Man City and Fulham are included in this. I've read that the teams will look more realistic with exclusive content.

fanzhiyidan · 25-08-2011 8:22pm

Gradel being linked with clubs again.

That coupled with Bates' comments about the West Ham bid for him earlier in the season which went something along the lines of (west ham had made an offer and that was to be paid in stages. If Leeds accepted it then Gradel would be retired by the time they would receive the last payment).

I know most of what exits Bates mouth is crap but he's basically saying that Max is for sale once we get the money up front. I guess Bates wants to spend it before he dies.

I like Gradel but he can be a liability. Could we get over 3m for him with his contract expiring in the summer?

G.K. · 25-08-2011 8:35pm

Might as well keep him for another season, not like Bates'll spend the money on the team.

fanzhiyidan · 25-08-2011 8:46pm

I was all for keeping Schmeichel when all we could recoup was 1m but if we could get anywhere near 4-5m for Max I'd be very tempted.
Even if we got half the money towards transfers and wages it would be a huge boost.

Nunez looks to be the part so we wouldn't have to go out and spend money on a first choice replacement for him.

We'd surely be able to get a good center back and left back for 2m and tie down some of the other players on longer contracts to prevent this happening every single season.

Perhaps get Keogh on a permanent transfer if he keeps up his early season performances.

Maybe even bring in a younger enforcer in midfield.

event · 25-08-2011 10:59pm

reports its us and blackburn in for lansbury

The main issue seems to be the fact that, while in the C'Ship, we'll only pay C'Ship wages - no matter how good a player is. So only when we reach the Prem, will Prem wage levels (even the low end) be even looked at. If an exception was made, paying a player higher than others, then other players expectations will also increase and this is really why the club are not keen to stump up some serious cash for anyone.

So while the club may offer Max a deal on the basis of raising his wages if we got to the Prem, Max would lose out if we don't get there, so therefore, a player who has the chance to reap higher rewards would be mad not to jump at the chance - and you can't blame a player for this.

People wondering about whether Nunez will start tomorrow - he certainly will if Gradel is nearing the exit door. There's no value in an injured player so we'll all be waiting for the starting eleven with bated breath.

Birmingham game postponed..ugh..sickener!! Had flights booked for that match

tim_holsters · 26-08-2011 4:56pm

Bad one man, commiserations. First I've heard about it being postponed must check out why.

G.K. · 26-08-2011 5:11pm

Grella's gone.

tim_holsters · 26-08-2011 5:15pm

I liked Grella at first, he's great technique but for whatever reasons it all went sour. Best of luck to him at the Bees.

Europa league perhaps?

And yeah, that sucks...unlucky dude

SarahBM · 26-08-2011 6:28pm

you see, this is why I am so cautious about booking flights.
Its madness.

wonder will O'Dea and Keogh get a run out against Slovakia next wk. especially Keogh playing so well at the mo. Im going

blaa85 · 27-08-2011 1:33pm

We got Man U at home in the Cup!!! Can't wait!

event · 27-08-2011 2:22pm

anyone considering going?

game will be on the 21st or 22nd. you can fly out on the evening, be in leeds at 18:55. fly home the next morning at 06:30, so kip in the airport. works out at €30 or so.

if you fly out in the morning and land in leeds at 10:25 and home next day at 06:30 again, €24

anyone know how easy or hard it would be to get tickets?
will they sell them on the site or will it be to members only

championc · 27-08-2011 2:34pm

Was looking at the filghts on ryan air. they won't be that cheap next week. Any idea when they will announce the date? Wouldn't it be the tue 20th/ wed 21st rather than 21st/22nd. I'd say Wednesday since Man U are on Sunday.

I'm hoping there will be tickets available, priority will go to season ticket holders and members.

event · 27-08-2011 2:48pm

yeah, it'll be on the wednesday id imagine. might book them anyway, its only €25, should get a ticket

pablodunlop · 27-08-2011 3:39pm

Christ Lorimer is an awful commentator, talk about the match please!

Q_Ball · 27-08-2011 3:41pm

Beating ipswich - 3 points

Getting one over on kieth andrews for rejecting us over them - priceless

pablodunlop · 27-08-2011 4:11pm

WTF happened with White?!

blaa85 · 27-08-2011 4:13pm

O'Brien on. We might as well be down to 9 men.

busyliving · 27-08-2011 4:16pm

What was White sent off for?

AOB to concede a peno and score an OG...

Lose 2-1:mad:
