Weird that the ref was fairly even with the yellow cards. 4-3. One team was quite a bit dirtier than the other.
That's brilliant. I did see him in the crowd. Great that he mingled with the fans like that. Good t see where his heart is at. True Leeds legend.
Lee Dixon does premier league commentary over here. Him, Graham Le Saux and Peter Drury. Just curious. Do they do premier league commentary for Sky too?whiteswan wrote: ↑Sun Mar 17, 2024 6:27 pm He did. He groaned and then commentator said "it means" and before he could get the words out Dixon said " I know what it means and the commentator then started rattling off real chances, opportunities, actual shots on goal etc. I loved it. You could tell that Lee had no time for it.
The work rate of Farke's side. The willingness to bust a gut, get back and defend. Is night and day over last season's Leeds. The year we dodged relegation, there was still that Bielsa ethos in them. The boys that got promoted still playing for pride and the legacy of a manager who'd got sacked a few weeks earlier. It was sickening to see the lack of desire last season. The number of times we lost the ball and midfielders didn't make the run back. Tyler Adams was an exception. But once he got injured there was no work ethic in that team. Blame it on people like Roca or McKennie. Or blame it on Jessie Marsch. But it's so refreshing to see what Farke has brought to this team this season. He's brought in the right people. And he's got people like Summerville and Gnonto to play the whole game. Hell. I know I blame Marsch now. He sent Dan James out on loan and brought in Aaronson. Not that Aaronson didn't have the work ethic. But Dan James is definitely a better man to have in the squad.weasel wrote: ↑Sun Mar 17, 2024 6:43 pm He does. Paddy has his strengths and weaknesses, just like any player on the pitch or the bench.
I think it was Leigh Bromby who made an excellent point anout Gnonto after the match and it was about how Gnonto had improved on his defensive side of the game and how no player can be a passenger in the Leeds side no matter how good they are. We have an excellent team who may be a bit inconsitent at times with the end product but always give everything - that for me is why I think if we get promoted the key to how well we do is keeping the heart of this team/squad. You don't want players coming in who may be loads better but won't work hard. We need to add quality that alsohas the right attitude and work ethos, Connor Roberts being a prime example of how to get it right and Djed Spence an example of how to get it wrong.

Top bloke. Will always love that man. Unless he comes back to haunt us one day. Hell. I'd probably still enjoy seeing him score against us at ER.
I grew up in the old East End and we always hated Bermondsey (South London in general). It was a proper shithole back in the day and mainly full of w**kers. It's probably changed a bit now, but still full of tossers mind.DDB220 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 17, 2024 7:44 pm Just had a Quick Look at the Millwall forum. It appears to be mandatory to use the C word in your post to A. describe the ref B. Describe the opposition players or C. The opposition fans.
Makes me laugh they describe Leeds as a Khazi - I know Bermondsey very well - in the land of SH’s that place is right up there. Couple of decent curry houses though.
The Old Den was a proper frightening place for away fans back in the day. Full of psycho fans looking to land one on you at any given moment.
Cockneys are so annoying
My wife is from the East End.
Jeez, talk about Bamford all over, don't he just frustrate the livin daylights outta ya, does everything right, all the hardwork, chases down, holds off, gets a player joining him for the perfect sliding ball to run onto and hit....weasel wrote: ↑Sun Mar 17, 2024 5:50 pm What did you think about that moment in the first half, think it was just after the half hour mark, where Bamford was played clean through but didn't have the pace or strength to stay in front of the Millwall defenders and then when the chance had gone completely over hit a simple pass to Gnonto who would have had a sitter (not chekced with xg though) if the ball had been weighted better?
Doh ! There's still not many better than him though, even in the Prem.
