The Aussie contingent seems to be lacking a bit. Not sure where Leedsmad has ran off to these days.

Leedsmad posted a couple of times during July & played in the footy competitions on the Predictions Forum in the first week of the new season

For me personally its just I don't like football at the moment. I used to watch everything from the PL, saw games from spain, Germany and Italy as well. Now I'll maybe just maybe bother watching the biggest games from the PL and that's it. Leeds is partly to blame for this, as im just tired of the club. (Do see some positive signs now though) but yeah I don't completely know why my footy interest is just gone, or when I'm getting it back. it just is what it is unfortunately

I understand some of that MeeTa. I've been a bit buoyed up since Monk's appointment but last Saturdays result has put me on the back burner again.

I watched the Euros and was thoroughly burned out by the cynical, negative crap I saw - about 5 decent games in the whole bloody shebang. Then, Portugal winning the thing made me want to hurl.

The euros didn't help my football frustration either, absolute shockingly crap tournament. I dont know where to find enjoyment in watching footy these days, hopefully from Leeds at some point but doubt it.

Haven't seen our Swan of late, maybe she is on her holidays in a different pond somewhere

Wolfie hasn't been on here for months too

I agree MeeTa footy is poor these days, the Euro's were abysmal

There is more to life than just football though

Was away in Norn Iron, so currently in a post holibobs malaise.

Hi, it's nice to meet you.

I have access to watch every premier league game.
Last year, watching Leicester was loads of fun.
From what I've seen this year, Man U. Man C. and Chelsea look really good AND entertaining.
(I guess having the odd 100 million pounds helps a bit).

Where is that billionaire Leeds fan when you need him?

Just to prove there is life in the old dog yet...

I still pop in on a regular basis, but find little time to actively engage. And, to be fair, with all the back biting and wheeling and dealing, I've grown a little tired with the goings on at ER - until Massimo departs, there is no chance of change. The manager (insert any name here) is only ever one game away from sacking, the investment is non existant, we sit at the bottom of two tables, one the league, and one the total net expenditure for teams in the championship - go figure the link.

Life has got extremely busy, I now have two daughters studying in London, basically this means that I am now holding down four jobs and teaching some evenings to cover the cost. I have a pile of unlistened to CDs that I need to find the time to get round to and I have recently set up my own company (pleased as punch to get the company name acronym PMSL registered with companies house!) as the furute looks increasingly uncertain.

Glad to see the forum is still going, I'll continue to poke my nose around the door, but life does, sometimes, get in the way of things...

Life intervenes Barry - I find myself getting more cynical every week.
At my grandson's wedding yesterday, one of my son's oldest friends (born in Ilford and a lifelong West Ham supporter) were talking footie in general and he's fed up with how the powers-that-be will not allow video evidence in what is now, in the EPL at least, a multi-million pound game, far removed from the simplicity of footie as it used to be.
I can still see the EPL becoming a franchise, with no possible promotion for the likes of us, and if some enterprising cove doesn't take us over and back up to the EPL sharpish, we'll have lost our chance altogether. Maybe that won't happen, but the EPL holds all the power these days.
