Good Morning Everyone, Sometimes I liken Leeds United with my old Labrador that I had when I was a lad. He could be loyal obedient, fun and great company to be round; and then he's take a crap on the lounge carpet.... In Leeds Utd case, that carpet is not just heavily stained, but beyond economical repair! Leeds worked very hard in the first half, and even though Silvestri had to keep out a penalty, deserved to take the lead courtesy of a header back across goal from Stuart Dallas. At that point, I am sure a fair few of us had the immortal words of 'what if' or 'p*ay offs' in the back of their mind, only to be grounded with a firm thud just before half time with the visitors from the small town just 20 miles away equalized. The second half was even worse, memories from the Amex Stadium some three weeks ago were rekindled as our poor excuse for players were put to the sword. THIS is where I have the problem. The Leeds players did not look bothered, and why should they be? They still receive their over inflated wages at the end of the month. They won't have to turn up at their office 8.30am Monday morning and have the mickey taken out of them. If you performed to the same level as Leeds Utd, would you still expect to be paid / stay in a job?

Mr Haigh had previously pleaded not guilty to cyber slander. He has been behind bars in Dubai since 18 May 2014. His spokesman said he was "absolutely delighted" to see the end of a "22 month nightmare", and said he expected the businessman to be back in the UK in two to three days.
Morning all. I'm actually pleased to see Haigh out. I'd imagine gfh are a little worried this morning and likely frantically trying to drum up some new daft allegations to keep him there. On a more somber note, and this puts footie into perspective. A customer of mine, lovely chap in early forties, brought myself and all my family for flights in his four seater aircraft last year. Gave me the controls for a period even and was one of the highlights of my life I have to admit. He was killed yesterday flying his stunt plane, so kinda puts stuff into perspective
3 times at least we've rolled over and conceded 4 this season and each time under Fatty Evans. That says a lot about his tactics, selection policy and the so-called togetherness of the team. Why isn't Bamba punching the lights out of some players who don't try. Evans will probably get us our highest league finish for a few years but this is garbage - changes needed to the board, staff and squad
Morning Eire, sorry to hear about your friend / customer. I too am pleased that David Haigh has been released. If that was me I'd be camping at the airport, looking to get on the very first plane anywhere in Europe.
Morning Doc, last season Bamba was arguably one of our best players, this season, he's turned into Bambi! Suppose its difficult to give your fellow players a rollicking if you're playing as badly yourself.
Morning all,Lets hope for a big clear out in the summer,Bambi,Ant,Murphy,Wooton,Sloth,plus the loan players.That makes eight.
Morning all.. Sorry to hear about your friend Eire, I had a job last week for a guy who's brother died of Cancer aged 48 (same age as me) lead a clean lifestyle and it does make you sit up and think. On Haigh let's be honest, hate him or not he doesn't deserve what has happened to him. Hope he stirs some crap up for GFH now. I thought we had seen the back of these 4 goal thrashings, obviously we haven't. The problem with the players... They don't have to impress Evans, they know Cellino is the main man in charge. EVERY season we seem to have a list of deadwood to shift which is always at least 8 players. Mark my words, the circle will continue next season, new coach, sacked before we reach a quarter of the way through. Loan players with an option to buy the main additions, one of the better players sold, probably Cook and season over by Christmas. This is our lot while we have Cellino and with "seemingly" no alternative we better get used to it...
I think Haigh is just another of the shysters we have had in the boardroom at Elland Road. He must feel resentment towards someone there. I wonder if we could be in for a spell of blood letting to stir things up (hopefully}.
Thanks Ristac and added to that, the possibility that some of our players want away in the summer and couldnt care less. Theres more than us suffering from the merry go round cycle though. Its modern footie unfortunately
" He could be loyal obedient, fun and great company to be round; and then he's take a crap on the lounge carpet" Sounds just like a certain resident from Harrogate.......... Morning all........
That lot wont bring you in the 10M you need from player sales this summer will it guessing you will have to keep that load of old dross and sell ya good ones mukka do you have any good ones ?
millwall will give us £25 million for that lot mate,after all we were trying to give Morison away and you gave us £750,000 for him.lol
And you wasted all of it on Wood we are not giving you any more if you are going to do things like that
