Good morning from a damp Cote de BHardsey to Matt and his merrymen I think Redders was wrong by comparing our class of youngsters with Mu cla ss of 92 I think I may be correct here but wasn't that the year our youngsters won the youth cup beating Man U over 2 legs in the final I was there along with 30000 fans yes what a crowd Our youngsters went on to achieve nothing the only one we sold was Whelan for £2m anjd he was a flop at Coventry so lets not get carried away We need a left winger and its well documented who I want to fill that position We don.t need midfield as such but a left winger would give us balance and you know who I want to fill that post
Great post Matt as usual my father fought in the first world war so that makes me feel a very old man!
I thought Sharp was going to be an amazing signing to be fair, disappointed it hasn't worked so far. Though he's been missing with a knock recently? Maybe Redders will use him a bit more
good day all. Ive the height of respect for all those war veterans. Getting ready for Fridays clash with the men in skirts. Should be a cracking atmosphere. Wish I was going View attachment 34133
John Cahrles has been voted the best foreign player ever by the Italians great accolade to a great player
think it was 93, or at least I remember going to the 2nd leg in May 93, when ER had over 30k Whelan was the probably the one out of that team, that we actually got some value for, also included the Auxerre Two of Sharp and Forrester, Rob Bowman, Andy Couzens, MarkTinkler and Mark Ford. Scum had the Neville Sisters, Keith Gillespie, Scholes, Beckham and a certain Robbie Savage in their team. As for Illic, wasnt he a former player of Darko's so think the likely hood of us still wanting him will be a lot less now
If there was a Leeds Utd celebrity XI, would you agree with this starting line up From the fjords of Norway to the desert lands of Australia, across the globe the Whites go marching on. There are those who claim that wherever in the world you go, if you stand still and hold your arms outstretched for five minutes then you will eventually touch another Leeds United fan. And of course there are a host of famous faces who follow Super Leeds, perhaps enough to make up a conquering team of their own… GK: Chris Moyles. The thick-set Radio 1 stalwart has always worn his Leeds support proudly on his sleeve, perhaps most notably with his musical parody of Enrique Iglesias’s ‘Hero’ (commemorating the team’s reversal of a 15-point deduction during the League One dog days, ‘We Have Got To Zero Baby’. Not a technically gifted new age keeper, but big enough to block most shots the old-fashioned way. RB: Kelly Jones. Welsh Stereophonics frontman, a genuine team player who will stick with his fellow players through thick and thin. Side before self every time. LB: Gareth Gates. Stuttering singing startlet whose quiet West Riding charm bought him a place in the nation’s hearts during the first series of ‘Pop Idol’, his lithe frame brings agility and skill to the back four whilst his butter-wouldn’t-melt manner will keep the girls flocking to the ground for an autograph and a photo. CB: Ricky Wilson. Lead singer of the boisterous Leeds-made band Kaiser Chiefs, who else could possibly take up Lucas Radebe’s position in the LUFC defence? A no-nonsense defender who will always get stuck in. CB: Colin Montgomerie. Maintaining Leeds United’s fine heritage of Scots-born stars, Monty joined the Whites Army when he attended Leeds Grammar School. A cultured, respectable presence bringing authority to an otherwise raw and youthful back four. RW: Ralph Ineson. Lanky blokeish Chris Finch of Ricky Gervais’s ‘Office’ fame, another local star brings his commanding presence to the midfield. The Robert Snodgrass of the Celebrity XI? LW: Ardal O’Hanlon. Diminutive Irishman who rose to fame on our telly screens as Father Dougal McGuire. Yet his persona as the cerebrally-challenged young priest on Craggy Island belies a sharp player with a variety of roles behind him, a history in stand-up, and even a published novel. Both intelligence and versatility on the wing. CM: Michael Bolton. Chances are the ageing crooner is not in fact a Leeds fan. Nonetheless his enduring place in the global music charts demonstrates that rugged tenacity not seen at Elland Road since the days of David Batty. A solid rock in the centre of the park. CM: Russell Crowe (c). Leeds supporter since he was a little lad growing up in New Zealand during the glory days of the early Seventies. Who better than Gladiator himself to follow in the legendary footsteps of Harry Kewell, Mark Viduka (and, erm, Tony Dorigo) and bring some of that magic from Down Under back to Elland Road? A dominant playmaker pulling the strings in midfield. FW: Alistair McGowan. Flamboyant forward, more often than not taking the Mick out of his opponents with a cheeky, well-timed impression. Catches his opponents off guard, the master of the sly tap-in. A perfect foil to his towering fellow front-man. FW: Jeremy Paxman. Temperamental attacker, master of the one-on-one, strikes fear into the heart of every defender he bears down upon. The Leeds XI’s answer to Wayne Rooney, rarely seen with a smile on his face and often in trouble with the ref, Paxo nevertheless scores the goals. Love him or hate him, you can’t ignore him. Subs: Ed Miliband. Hardly a fans’ favourite. Struggling to make his name or claim a first-team place. Awkward and clumsy on the pitch. Pundits say not good enough for this side. Jack P Shepherd. Youngster learning his trade on loan on the other side of the Pennines at Coronation Street. Promising future talent, one to watch. Padraig Harrington. Super sub. When the struggle is on late in the game, the Irishman is the first choice to take to the field and seek out every opportunity to shoot on sight. Coach: Nasser Hussain. A young manager who brings his articulacy, creativity and sportsmanship to the job. Gaining a reputation on the airwaves as a Sky Sports pundit, but players and fans alike hope his loyalties are with the club. If he knows his football like he knows his Test cricket, and galvanize the squad with his often fiery personality, then surely an inspired choice to take the helm.

Someone at the FA has misplaced "The rules that only apply to Leeds United" book. When they find it expect to be in admin with a 100 point deduction that carries over from season to season until we have made them back.
