    Go to :-

    http://www.tablepouncer.com/leeds/restaurants/

    Look up desired area, book it online, they'll send you the reservation on your phone (small fee charged to your phone) but normally 40 / 50% off.

    Used loads of times. Really good!!!

    Morning Mike, how are things with you pal?

    Entire team last year did not blend properly. Can imagine fall outs in the dressing room and low morale.

    Step in Captain Ross!!!

    Can imagine the negativity grow!!!

    I can only see Pearce as a Captain.

    Murphy has A LOT to prove on the pitch to even be a regular.

    We need a young Michael Brown / David Batty type

    Matt I.m feeling fine unfortunately after all the hard graft the useless solicitors I appointed have thrown the towel in re Maureens claim I am made of much sterner stuff than that I have instructed them that they will not be receiving a success fee and any charges they can send me the bill I will be appointing someone who has local knowledge and is not frightened of Bradford Council someone like me!

    Morning All,

    I have to say that I think you've missed out the most important discipline of all - teamwork. And I think that's where we fell down.

    Why was the 'keeper weak? Was it because of a dodgy defence exposing him?

    Why was the defence weak? Was it because the midfield were failing? Was it because they didn't trust the 'keeper?

    Why was midfield failing? Was it because the attackers weren't dropping back effectively? Was it because the defence hoofed the ball over their heads?

    Why was the attack failing? Was it because midfield/defence weren't providing sufficient opportunity for them?

    The answer to the above questions is probably yes, in every case! We didn't have a team. We didn't even have effective units. We had individuals. And it really showed sometimes - a bit like watch a good old-fashioned Primary School game.

    And to me, that is where BM failed. It was clear that the team was capable of winning, but only on an occasional basis, where things seemed to click. Then the unclicking kicked in, and he didn't deal with it. Didn't help that we had a load of dross in the squad, but remember that we were 5th before Xmas, so you can't use them as an excuse for one half of the season & not the other. Especially as most of them didn't get a look in anyway.

    Some twitter user said he was (6th tweet BTW) and all hell broke loose on WACCOE <laugh>

    Its now been laughed off, unless the Wall come in with a much bigger offer I dont think it will even be considered. Smith will be on a fairly low wage and is an up and coming player which fits in with what Cellino looks for in footballer.

    No idea, WACCOE mentioned around 750k but I dont know if there is any truth to that at all. I wouldnt let him go even for double that so either its bollocks or Ollie is testing the water.

    Red (barbecue pit ) near corn exchange and one in trinity

    Of if you like thai food
    The place in what used to be Chapeltown police staion is brilliant (its in chapel allerton and not chapeltown! they left the old police cells in and made them part of the decor. The food is top notch.

    Greek food. the olive tree at rodley, chapel allerton or Headingley is v.good.

    MTMB if you want to take the crate for a spin then Deanos Graze and Grill (JFGI) in harrogate is fantastic. on a friday/saturday night there are usually a few minor celebs or mighty whites in. You might need to book. Its like tapas but not spanish, they also do a great steak or mean burger.

    We never had a settled squad or formation and rarely if ever had a plan B when things were going wrong, we lacked pace, passing ability and creativity, the whole squad were to blame.

    We had a team captain who didn't want to be one and a manager who never had the balls to drop him when he started playing bad.

    We signed Stewart and Kebe who were massive mistakes and a manager who never had the balls to admit he made a clanger and finally we had a new captain who it would seem only wanted to be captain so he could request a pay rise.

    Last season was an embarrassment and I am glad to see the back of it.
