Good Morning. It's Tuesday 8th October, and here are the Leeds Utd headlines Jack Clarke to be recalled Tottenham Hotspurs are to cut short Jack Clarke's loan move at Elland Road. The talented England U20 winger has not featured at all in the league so far this season and does not appear to be in Bielsa’s plans. More than likely Spurs wil loan him out to one of Leeds promotion rivals in January. Could this come back to bite Leeds on the ass? please log in to view this image Former referee slams red card decision Former Premier League referee Dermot Gallagher has questioned James Linington’s decision to send Gaetano Berardi off against Millwall on Saturday. “Even if it is a penalty, I don’t think it is a red card because Kalvin Phillips will cut [Bradshaw] off when he goes down,” “If he’s touched, maybe he gets a little touch, but it’s not a penalty for me and it’s certainly not a red card.” Leeds had until 1pm yesterday lunchtime to submit any evidence in support of the 31yo defender. please log in to view this image Leeds talk Did Leeds look a better side with Douglas at left back? Is Harrison more comfortable at right back, and if so where do we play Costa? How much of an influence has Hernandez been this season, as apposed to last season? Is Alioski good enough to start on the left wing? What is Stuart Dallas's best position? If you could strengthen in any department in January, where would it be? please log in to view this image
Morning all.. Jack Clarke’s head is not in the right place, he’s got himself a big money move and he obviously feels he should be in the starting 11. If they’re recalling him in January to go to a rival we need to drop him completely, no U23 games, don’t keep him match sharp. Sorry I know that might sound rough but we need to forward plan I know it divides opinion but Douglas at LB for me, I’d personally play him LB and Costa left midfield, Alioski Right or super sub, I’m not sure with Dallas as I’d still prefer Ayling at RB. Maybe have Harrison and Alioski on the bench, Dallas wide right attacking, Costa wide left.
Good Morning to Matt Rik Doc and co from a sunny Bardsey I still think we need a striker and a CB incase someone gets injured I remember raving about Troare when he played for Boro well he was sold for 18m and up to Sunday was a flop but against the best team in the leaguehe score vtwice and showed what he could do with his lightning pace so lets hope Costa can do the same Another player I really liked was Edmundson but he seems to have gone backwards .Is he lazy Doc .It maybe we need to stimulate him by loaning him out Realy good to see MU suffering
Clarke back to spuds is not a problem, he has not come back with the right attitude, he will become a very lonely young man down there. Best positions!!! I think a shake up will do no arm, Bielsa needs to get ruthless and drop players, maybe have individual one on one meetings with them, ask them there views, THEN tell them what he expects and demands are, don’t forget this is the last season for the Amigo at LS11 so he needs to be given a nudge to remind him where we need to be, I do and always have thought the language barrier has never helped. I hope the club has put an appeal in to the bent FA over the scum supporting ref who’s standard is Sunday morning football in the park. Don’t forget the EFA are fkg bent and won’t do any harm for the faithful to sing it from the terraces.
Morning all, Currently in Amsterdam, en route to watching Scotland getting humped in Moscow, otherwise I'd have driven Clarke down the road myself. Today. He's been given every opportunity & hasn't taken it. Sod him, I'm with Rich. Plenty other u23s available for development, & all should be ahead of him. Why should we sharpen him up for our opponents if the withdrawal decision has already been made? Send him back immediately or ostracise him.
Morning, Mike. Scum suffering is about the only good news I got this weekend. Leeds got cheated, Partick Thistle played as bad as I've ever seen them play - and I've seen a lot of crap games. An awful lot! Now I face watching Scotland getting humped. Again. Glutton for punishment or what? Btw, Edmindson is doing just fine in the u23s, imo. Not convinced he's ready for the step-up yet, but he's playing the Bamford role & doing it with due aplomb. I've personally heard him ripping into the team for not working hard enough at the press, and he's scary when he does it, so the boy is definitely hungry. Still think that Roberts is miles ahead of him though.
Like many other fans I enjoyed Clarkes fantastic half a season displays, but to move so soon was a mistake IMO he has been badly advised. He should have had a couple of seasons under his belt. Big headed, wrong attitude and if he doesn't cop on to himself he might be another football casualty.
If this had been the other way round, what would have happened to us ... https://www.leeds-live.co.uk/sport/leeds-united/patrick-bamford-incident-millwall-prompts-17049235
You keep out of the Moscow jails whilst you are thereI spoke to Greville Wynne once and he didn't like Lubianka!
CARDIFF look set to be ordered to pay the FULL £15m fee for dead striker Emiliano Sala after Fifa backed French club Nantes. In an interim judgement, following the two clubs’ failure to agree, Fifa ordered Cardiff to pay Nantes £5.3m. But that represented just the initial claim by Nantes, which had been rejected by the Bluebirds. And it has now emerged that Fifa are likely to find in favour of the French side over the next TWO instalments that would have been due over the three-year contract terms. Cardiff agreed a £15m fee for the Argentine striker, 28, on January 19. Sala was paraded at the City of Cardiff Stadium after completing the deal. But just two days later, on his way back from a return visit to France, the plane carrying Sala ditched into the Channel. The striker’s body was recovered after the plane was eventually located on February 3, 13 days after it had disappeared off air traffic control radar screens. Toxicology tests suggested Sala and pilot David Ibbotson - whose body has never been found - had probably been rendered unconscious by carbon monoxide poisoning before the Piper Malibu craft ditched in the sea. It later emerged that Ibbotson, did not have a licence to operate a commercial flight. Cardiff had argued the transfer agreement was not valid because the Premier League had rejected some of the clauses Nantes had demanded were part of the original deal. As Sala had not signed the revised contract, he was, the club maintained, therefore not registered as their player. Nantes, in turn, demanded the full payment of the agreed fee. Fifa President Gianni Infantino intervened and urged the clubs to find an agreement but with a deadline of September 5 before the matter was to be resolved by the world body’s player status committee. That committee met in Zurich on Wednesday, with neither club represented in person. Now Fifa has published the outcome with Nantes awarded £5.3m “corresponding to the first instalment due in accordance with the transfer agreement”. Fifa insiders have confirmed that Nantes’ claims over the additional instalment will be heard in the future with the expectation that the French club’s case will be upheld.
I know and Where's all the camera footage to ban all the mongs. That micky mouse club are allowed to get away with murder.

please log in to view this image Phil Hay @PhilHay_ · 6m Millwall's Tom Bradshaw will not be cited for deceiving a match official. FA says that footage of the incident was reviewed and showed contact was made by Berardi. On that basis it wasn't referred to a three-man panel of ex match officials. #lufc
You lot are beginning to sound like scousers now with your ‘always the victim ‘ attitude, at the end of the day Bradshaw was clipped and he went down in the area, sometimes a penalty is given and sometimes it is not, but why would Bradshaw gamble by going down maybe getting a penalty or possibly getting booked for simulation, giving up a perfect chance of scoring in the meantime? At the end of the day Leeds were not good enough on the day.
He wasn't clipped, that's why Berardi's ban has been reversed,and if a blade of grass brings Bradshaw down, he's playing the wrong sport, he should try ballet.But in one way you're right, we aren't as good cheats as millwall.
Read it again Chesh his ban was overturned because the enquiry found he wasn’t the last man Penalty was right, sending off was wrong that’s the official verdict.
