Re: So who prefers the Championship?
On a similar note; what would you enjoy more - be ing like Everton, in remaining in the PL but never winning or challenging for anything, or being a ‘yo-yo’ club - years in the PL interspersed with relegation, winning the championship, the excitement of winning the playoffs. My guess is that Fulham ...

Re: Meslier is a Weak Link
Is the age thing still a valid excuse? Yes he's only 23 but he is in his 4th season as a number 1. Is he any better now than he was when he came to prominence in that cup game vs Arsenal? I wouldn't say so. You can make many reasons for Meslier but imo being not any better than you were 3 4 years a...

Re: Meslier is a Weak Link
As others say, he is still young for a keeper but is not Premier League ready. So if we do go up it could break him again. If we get promoted I'd hope we move him on, with our very best wishes, that could be good for both parties. If a guy who’s played two full seasons in the Premier League is stil...

Re: Illan Meslier
Stats ?? Look at my Onana post - stats are a useful tool but they only paint part of the picture. Some people are obsessed with them. The money ball film exposes how stats are useful, but baseball is a non contact sport. Throwing catching and running are very measurable stats. XG has an element of ...

Re: Illan Meslier
So when he saved the one on one that isn’t worth a comment ? What is it with some people who only pipe up to criticise. Is Meslier without weaknesses of course he isn’t. At least provide a balanced critique. I don’t think anyone is saying he never makes a save. But opposition teams do seem to score...

Re: Illan Meslier
Most keepers would not be being beaten at that height at the near post. Really ordinary. Said it before …. Meslier has now played 123 first team games yet he’s still treated like an up and comer. He is a very average shot stopper compared to most keepers and has no presence under high balls. It is n...

Re: Quiet on here, since Geronimo was given the boot!
I can’t agree with lifetime bans just because someone is annoying or trying to get a reaction. It’s a football forum! Geez, Kenny was a total a-hole to a lot of people for a while, and some gave back just as good. But you you either give back or you ignore people, right? There were times Geronimo po...

Re: Daniel Farke
Geez, Leeds fans are a tough audience. A few weeks before the end of the transfer window I was just hoping that we’d be able to field a team that would not suffer back to back relegations. The idea that somehow Farke hasn’t exceeded expectations to date is ludicrous.

Re: Today's Games
You are delving into the mad rules of football now, Mental. Football use to be a simple game, now it's complicated & incomprehensible. Oh those days, when handball had to be deliberate, when defenders didn’t have to defend with their hands behind their backs, when getting the ball first was the...

Re: Today's Games
Good entertainment. VAR spot on for a change Looks worse in slow motion. In normal speed that’s just a committed attempt at clearance. As was Coop’s against Man City. Defender is expecting striker to go in just as hard. When striker pulls out of the challenge of course there’s more follow through t...

Re: Today's Games
It would seem the VAR officials don't like the gooners. Had it been Leeds, they would only have to check one of those three incidents. A definite push for me, no matter what that Mancunian jerk said, also definitely offside. Agree, if that’s a defender on an attacker in the box it’d be a penalty ev...

Re: Norwich City V Leeds Utd - Post Match Debate
There wasn't a lot in it and no reason we shouldn't have had 2 ourselves in the first half, in fact we had the better play of it in that first half and it was by no means panic stations and for some (one) to be calling for DF's head or a complete overhaul of the team at half/time was ludicrous. Our...
