It depends on which timescale you pick and what figures to chose to include.

If you pick the 2021-22 season then we weren't in the top few as we'd only spent £25m in the Summer before then spending £90m+ in the January.

If you pick 2022-23 season then we're about 8th highest.

However, I think if you pick the year 2022 we were at the top of spending.

It's all a bit theoretical anyway tbph. The figures by so many teams are just nuts and the numbers quoted are guidelines at best. Once you start looking at add-ons, signing on fees, wages, whether they are upfront or installments, etc then even if you somehow managed to get reliable figures it's only going to be part of the story.

Every "free" transfer and superstar signing a new contract tends to come with a hefty signing on fee, if I was running a club that'd be coming out of the transfer budget.

Shef Wed deserved it so fair play. Our line-up was a disgrace. Doesn't change how I think Howe is doing in any way but part of me has to wonder whether he either underestimated Shef Wed, overestimated our reserve team or if he was trying to angle for more players.

Dubravka, Lewis, Lascelles, Manquillo, Anderson, Ritchie, Murphy coming in from the wilderness to play and then Isak hobbling in from the physioroom (he looked like he's going to need a few more games to get match fit) was optimistic team selection at best. Of those 8 only Murphy has really played this season, and even then only due to injuries to much better players. Thought Joelinton actually had a good game but Botman looked like someone who relied on a settle defence around him and instead got Lewis and Lascelles either side of him - no-one deserves that. It's the first game he's played in that we've lost - 17th or so game - and no surprises he was next to Lascelles for it.

Manquillo who was probably our best player for much of the match, not that he's ever going to get picked over Trippier so was a waste of his effort really.

Lewis, Lascelles and Wood were dire. Anderson and Murphy ran around but looked lost (at least Anderson is young and local). Dubravka spent the game sat in a chair watching the match, even when they were actively shooting at goal.

Oh well. If we lose on Tuesday and/or drop points to Fulham next week then it'll really make this team selection look worse.

As a club you have bigger fish to fry.

Great run and finish (and pass) tbf ... but Leeds ain't out of this ... well not if they stay on their feet ... forwards can go past the Cardiff defence at will ...
 
Somehow found this on my fire stick and now I cant stop watching it for some reason. Arabs having a camel auction on a racetrack :laugh:

Told the father in law to watch it in the back room, can't be arsed with it all. Think it's VAR that properly pushed me over the edge. Can't celebrate a goal until it's approved by a bloke in a room watching a TV. My son decided to play local football with his mates this season but had realised it was a mistake. He's had an offer to play at a better level so will do that next season which means I'll start watching him again, better than watching this crap on TV.
