    Leeds Utd v Fulham

    Tuesday 23rd February @19.45pm.

    Streaming links to follow
    Good Morning Everyone,

    After picking up his 10th booking of the campaign in form Bellusci (a contradiction in term surely) starts a two match suspension, and with Cooper touch and go, Leeds will have to make do with Bamba and Wootton at centre back.

    Berardi started for the u21's in their 2-2 draw against Huddersfield yesterday. Surely after coming back from injury, he won't be asked to play two games in as many days?

    This can mean one of three things; either Evans has a cunning plan <yikes>, Cooper will be fit for the game to partner Bamba or he plans to start with Coyle at right back!


    I would have though Wood would have at least have been on the bench tonight. He had recovered from injury, but had been sidelined with the flu.

    I'd like to see what Wood and Doukara can do together for 90 mins, and after Antenucci's 'can't give a toss' body language I would not care if I never see him in a Leeds shirt again.

    Fulham have no fresh injury concerns.

    Defender Dan Burn returns after a hamstring injury.

    Leeds United handed a debut to trialist William Vouama in an under-21 game against Huddersfield Town.

    Vouama featured on the bench against Nottingham Forest a week ago but did not get on.

    He is a 19-year-old winger who currently plays for French side Viry-Chatillon, who play in his country's fourth tier, and has made seven appearances this season.

    Eoghan Stokes netted both goals for the Whites.

    Leeds have failed to score in five of their past nine league games against Fulham; let's hope they can put some ghosts to bed tonight.

    Trabzonspor fans have been protesting in support of a player who was sent off for showing a red card to a referee.

    Salih Dursun held up a red card to referee Deniz Bitnel to become the fourth Trabzonspor player to be sent off in a 2-1 defeat at Galatasaray.

    Trabzonspor have also started selling T-shirts in their official shop showing Dursun making the gesture.

    There have also been reports that local officials in the Macka district of Trabzon thought about erecting a statue in honour of the player's action. <laugh>

    Unbelievable....

    Morning all, not expecting a win tonight and expecting Ross to be fired up and Smith itching for a chance. A few weeks back I felt so uninterested in our next game and even more so now.

    I just want the end of the season to arrive so we can be linked to several top quality names, it seems the best part of a season for us now, that is until none materialise and we rush to Wiki thinking who??

    Season ends >> high hopes creep back with top quality names linked >> Joe nobodies join but we hope the coach sees something we don't >> chatter and new rumours start with loan window being open >> we get excited as we are promised option to buy >> off the pace but IF we can get 3-4 wins on the trot and push for 6th and strengthen in January >> season over by November....

    Got a feeling we will either be smashed or its a 0-0

    Cant see where goals are coming from at the moment.

    Morning all <ok>

    Morning All (managed to get up in time for once),

    Both teams have similar (negative) goal differences, although Fulham have doubled our goals for / against totals. Our strength has been our defence, in particular the Cooper / Bellusci combo. We are always going to let in a goal when Bamba plays, even with Cooper keeping him in line. Bamba with a low-confidence and so far untried Wootton is the stuff for nightmares. We will concede, and it could be a cricket score. Gawd knows where our goals will come from, particularly at home, so tonight is shaping up as a disaster. I would hope that we play with more than 1 up top, but tbh, realism takes a grip & I realise that we just don't have the personnel to do it any other way.

    Only one hope for keeping it sane tonight - Cooper must play. Then we cross our fingers & hope for a goal.

    Our only problem is not scoring goals, no way Fulham will smash us.

    That's a brave statement. They will score at least two.

    Fulham are worse than us but with our defensive injuries it will make it difficult.

    They're defensively **** as well though.

    Massimo Cellino: Six buyers for Leeds lined up

    MASSIMO CELLINO has revealed there are six potential buyers that have expressed an interest in buying Leeds.



    please log in to view this image



    He admitted one of the six interested parties is a Leeds-based businessman who has shown interest in the past and would consider a partnership with Cellino.

    The 59-year-old would not reveal who the potential partner would be, however, Sky Sports news understands it will be Steve Parkin.

    Parkin attempted to buy the club back in 2013 and has previously shown interest in purchasing the club.

    "I am a Leeds United fan, what happens to my club is important to me," he told Sky Sports.

    "I keep my business affairs private. That does not mean I am about to buy Leeds United."

    Meanwhile Cellino says he would prefer any buyer to be Leeds-based, and believes the club is an attractive prospect given its current financial situation.

    He last valued the club at £30 million, but has reportedly improved the books, leaving the club in a 'financially okay situation'

    Potentially this is just more bullshit to buy time and stop the protests.... not a hope in hell!!! He has played this card before..
    He needs to sell and pressure needs to be maintained until he goes......
    Don't even want him leeching as a junior partner in the ownership structure primarily because his ego wont allow him not to rock the boat.

    Although Leeds ain't my team , they have been through the " Boar War " when it comes to ownership the past decade and a half and enough is enough .
    I couldn't really care less who takes Leeds over as long as they have Leeds Football club and her fans best interests in mind .....it's the least they deserve to get them out of their forced "March of Despair " , be it together .

    I hope Cellino doesn't sell I believe him to be the greatest owner that Leeds United has ever had or ever will have.
