Happy Birthday Osprey

Happy Birthday Benny

Mind you, a reasonably good opener for England - Harry Kane on form.
Sorry about your bet liggy.

Leon, I apologise for the 'Mod' remark. I really shouldn't have said that. I know you work hard but you really do trash a lot of our players (and are very insulting at that) for no apparent reason other than that you can.

I agree with Faaip

So Germany lose and Argentina/Brazil draw!

Exciting tournament so far.

Thank you Faaip. Leon, I did say 'no offence', even if it did sound insincere to you. I'm not 'having a monthly pop' so much as finding myself severely disillusioned with your tenure as a Mod. It seems my vote for you was misguided. Your opinions are best described as capricious, because you switch ...

Players a second season in the division will gel better, less injuries will help with team stability and balance which we lost badly after Christmas. I'd say quite a f...

I'm listening to you and hoping you're not right, whilst fearing you are.

OK Leon, I’m going to relate a true story. I will try not to be too wordy or insulting in its telling. In 1962 a person called Jack Charlton of Leeds United came to Normanton Grammar School to represent Leeds United Football Club. I have no idea why he really came unless it was the club’s idea to re...

A fabulous advert for world soccer - I was on my feet for much of the game.
Those who say Messi is the best need to look at Ronaldo and how he single-handedly took a game by the scruff of the neck and came back against perhaps the best team of the last 10 years.

I really can't diss Biesla too much as he does have some really shiny testimonials but it seems it'll need a long view outlook and we'd have to make sure we can back him up with something who can take over if he goes. There's a lot ...

Come to Leeds Marco

Marcelo's brother?

Like TC - hence my reference to Radz making a 2nd mistake unless the funds are there to provide a bigger squad. What you're suggesting is that he possibly cannot adapt enough to remain effective. It's...

By the way Cjay, you called it correctly on Heckingbottom before he was appointed and I think your analysis of our latest potential managerial acquisition is also spot on.

Kudos to you, a young man with wisdom beyond your years.

A conundrum but I think you may be right. TC wasn't given the necessary backing. It turns out he was the right appointment but needed those players Orta/Radz didn't think necessary to complete the team to TC's intended specifications. So, is Radz about to make a second identical mistake or has he re...

True Leon. We do need more stability and only by hiring a good manager will he get somebody worth living with.

If we get Bielsa we could still be manager-less by October because he might walk himself.
