It is raghead owned pal, those fkrs from Qatar bought it with the loose change they had.Fcuk! Need to cancel that Harrods trip.
Or given his gift for getting things wrong, perhaps he meant Harrid's, the Muslim corner shop down the road from him.
No mate, I’ll have a look today and see if I can find it. He was being interviewed on Talk Sport yesterday ahead of Saturday’s game.
Have you noticed since Forshaw went out and Philips come in our form has improved.As you say Ristac, everyone looks at game differently. I remember most on here calling for Alioski to be dropped, and saying he shouldn't be in team, I didn't.
Same happened with Berardi when he first come here, but I didn't.
Let's look at how everyone wanted to keep that clown as coach who is now coaching a womens team......what's his name, Redders, I wanted him gone.
No malice, and certainly not having a go at you, but I keep asking same question....."what impact does he bring to team", no one's told me yet.
He went missing during WBA game, didn't do much against Reading, but let's hope Sheff U don't chew him up and spit him out like quite a few teams have.
If Phillips gets player of year award I'll drop my trousers in middle of Harrods.
There's a few players imo way way ahead of him, including Pablo for nomination for player of year award.
Forshaw drives forward with ball, in doing so he drives the team forward and has the opposition back peddling.
Forshaw makes mistakes, but so does Phillips and the other players.
Have you noticed since Forshaw's been out it's Cooper and Jansson doing the driving forward with ball on quite a few ocassions during a match, isn't that Phillips job.
When Phillips has a good game I'll be happy to acknowledge it.
I just can't the see impact he brings to team, other than doing a lot of sodeways passing and passing back to the player who just passed to him, he does it every game........
Not to mention three clean sheets and 8 goals in three games. Other pros in the game saying he is ready for an England call up https://tbrfootball.com/derby-count...alvin-phillips-and-jack-grealish-for-england/

Phillips is better in the holding role, better defensively. Forshaw maybe is better further forward though not sure who to drop for him. And Don’t forget Forshaw was suffering from not having Antenucci in the team 
Of course he's noticed, but he'll never admit he's wrong. He's right & everyone else, experts included, are wrong. Nothing new here, move along!
Canute lives !!!!!Of course he's noticed, but he'll never admit he's wrong. He's right & everyone else, experts included, are wrong. Nothing new here, move along!
Agreed, but to suggest someone is better at DM because he attacks better is madness. Perhaps LL isn't familiar with the DM role, and the fact that there's a 'D' in the title that has some significance! And when Forshaw plays, there's a hole in the middle of the 'D'! Perhaps they didn't have DMs in his day.
Is this it on the YEP?

.....you're effing hilarious 2020, you really are, but everytime you go round in circles the bigger idiot you become....
Could that also be cos the players are playing around Phillips cos all he does is pass sideways most of time.
I think Forshaw is still Bielsa's preference out the 2, but he's injured.
It would seem there is now a collective view of happiness and love emanating towards all things Leeds Utd.
The media are talking as if we are already promoted and how much we will add to the PL next season. Bielsa is portrayed as a maverick wonder coach who identified us because of our massive potential and our return to the promised land is almost guaranteed as how could such a god of football possibly fail.
Well, let's just all hold on for minute shall we and take a step back and look at the reality of where we are and where we've come from in such a few short months.
Prior to the season kicking off the general consensus on here was that Orta should have been fired and that Radz was in the last chance saloon. Most of the players were considered not fit for purpose with only 2/3 being deemed good enough to take us forward.
So just to remind everyone, media, fans, posters on here etc etc...if and I mean if, we somehow achieve automatic promotion it would not only be an amazing achievement it would also represent a quite unbelievable turn around in fortunes from a small and totally unfancied squad of players who have somehow managed to maintain their performances and results throughout the season in what is considered the toughest division in world football.
There is also however a sense that if automatic promotion is not secured that somehow the side will have failed ? In part this is being set up by the media to create another Leeds melt down story but also a section of our own fans would undoubtably add massively to the negativity that would but shouldn't prevail if we ultimately end up in the play offs.
In short it's a time to be realistic and see qualifying for the play offs as a massive step forward. Let's support the team fully no matter what the results and if performances dip below expectations then perhaps remember where we were in August before a ball was kicked.
By all means hide behind the sofa, scream at the telly, rage when things don't go our way but most of all keep a sense of perspective and enjoy every glorious moment of this push for promotion. If when the dust has settled we've fallen just short and another season in the Championship beckons then let's laud the players for their efforts, cancel the recriminations and remain firmly behind the club.
MOT.

Phillips is 100% Bielsa's preference out of the two.
Phillips' energy and drive is outstanding. He hustles and harries the opposition, which is vital in Bielsa's teams. His passing, especially his long-range passing, has come on leaps and bounds this year, but he's not wasteful with possession, and when a sideways pass is better for the team, he'll pass sideways. Everyone else on the team is meant to be taking risks and making passes that may not make it (for all of Pablo's wonderful invention, even some of his passes are dreadful!), so it's important that there's at least one player who keeps possession ticking over.
A lot of what Phillips does goes unnoticed, but you saw what we were missing at Norwich instantly. He drops in as a third centre back when both full backs bomb on, and his positional play and tactical nous are excellent. His touch has improved massively, he's strong and physical, wins a fair amount in the air considering he's not the tallest, and he's aggressive in the tackle.
Is he infallible? No, of course not. If he were, he wouldn't still be in the Championship. Of course he'll still make the occasional mistake, but he's developing into a fine player. Let's not forget, this is still a new position to him.
And for what it's worth, the fact that multiple managers with successful (although perhaps not at Leeds!) CVs have utilised his talents (Rosler, Evans, Monk, Christiansen, Heckingbottom, and Bielsa) would suggest that actually, there must be something about him, despite what you think.
You're banging your head against a brick wall.
I personally think Mr Jackboots has got it into Kalv 'cos he's got a hairstyle that suggests there's been a brush of the tar in his lineage. It's certainly not a footballing assessment. No-one could be that stupid, could they? Oh, wait a minute ....
That's why he knows,not got your experience obviously but is a good well known professional who I believe knows what he's on about.
