    Morning Everyone,

    Leeds have been heavily linked to Yeovil's Byron Webster. The 6'4 defender is 27 years old, and has previously played for Donny, before he moved on to Northampton Town.

    I really hope we don't start signing players that have recently got relegated like we did with Portsmouth a few years back. Who remembers Norris!!!


    During a season that will be known for the off the field events more than what happened on it, what will be your fondest memory of this season, and why?


    Looking at the stats, if it wasn't for McCormacks goals, we would be rock bottom, 11 points below Yeovil....

    How does McCormack compare in status to strikers in the past when compared to the likes of Chapman, Wallace, Yeboah, Hasselbaink, even players like Baird had many admirers.

    Who would be your top 5?

    Morning all. That Yeovil lad certainly looks the type of player that would top mcds wanted list he's drawing up. Not too worried as shortly that list will hopefully find a bin as he's on the way out. Who would have thought he'd keep his job longer than moyes eh?
    Favourite strikers, jones, Clarke, chapman, Wallace, hasselbaink

    Morning Eire, I loved Hasselbaink, but he did the dirty on us, so not sure I'd pick him. I need to find a spot for Yeboah

    Morning all I wouldn't put Ross in front of Becchio or Beckford not alone previous great players for the club. If he stays and repeats his goal scoring maybe my opinion will change, I see this as a one off season for him.

    What did he do wrong? Left us for greater riches. Nothing new there Elland and something we may have to get used to if we ever get a decent squad again

    Beckford will always be special. He and Bechio got us up. Grayson was dilarious that day. I miss Grayson

    Did he not threaten to go on strike if he didn't get a move ? Nothing wrong with bettering yourself but holding the club to ransom is unforgiveable. Loved Hasselbaink but he went way down in my estimation after that.

    Morning all. No favourite striker as such. Buk Beckford staying long enough to get us up, and scoring that goal in that sh&t hole makes him as close to a legend as anyone has got in a number of years. Is/was he bettr than Yeboah, Clarke, Hasselbaink or Viduka? Difficult to say. Will Ross top that list? Only time will tell.

    On where would we be without Ross's goals this season? No idea because maybe someone else might have scored a few. But I think it's better to look forward than back. So let's MOT to next season after a summer where England might just surprise a few, and where we can look forward to an interesting TW from 1 July.

    Morning all

    Spot on with the Yeovil lad, we shouldn't be signing from relegated clubs unless they have some sort of superstar who was head and shoulders above the rest of the team <ok>

    Viduka will always be one of my all time favourites, such grace for a bigger guy.
    Yeboah because he was the main striker when I became old enough to appreciate good football.
    Beckford is high up my list because of the importance to the club of the goals he scored, especially the January 3rd one. Any goal or scorer that earns itself its own song is a bona fide leeds legend.
    I liked Hasselbaink and had no problem with him leaving, thats football.
    If Ross can recreate this season next time, or something close, then he will be a legend.

    Highlight of this season- not being able to afford to go to as many games as I normally would.
    ( Real highlight is the crowd booing Brown being selected for the Chesterfield game and the crowd then singing Michael Brown is not for sale when he scored a wonder goal.)

    Just read a report that 53 points (our current total) would have got us relegated last year

    It's also a fact that it rained slightly more on this day last year. Or was it less, can't remember now. But it's a fact that if today was this time last year we'd be either slightly drier or slightly wetter than we are today.

    Favourite event of the season?

    I have two.

    Charlton away, and the 4000 leeds fans stood in the residential cul de sac when the police told the ref he couldnt call the game off at 2.30 PM.
    The wall meet up............ i dont get out much and watching mighty try not to give himself away in the SS was V. funny.
