Good Morning. It's Thursday 25th June, and here are the latest headlines from Elland Road...
Bin Laden spotted at Elland Road
Leeds United have come under attack after a cutout of Osama Bin Laden placed in the stands at Elland Road as part of their 'crowdie initiative'! The club have sold more than 15,000 life size cut outs in a bid to fill the stands. The gaff was only rectified when a fan spotted the former Taliban leader sat next to him in the stands. Surely, we can't be surprised to see a few unusual faces , I'd be amazed if they weren't any Jimmy Saville's, Peter Sutcliffe's or high profile politicians in the stands!
Are you insulted by this, or do you put it down to humour and high spirits. Comedian David Baddiel was quoted on twitter as saying: "What's amazing about this is that someone at Leeds is educated enough to realise that even a fake crowd should not be entirely white, but not educated to know who Osama Bin Laden is."
Bamford tops list of missed chances
Patrick Bamford has topped a list of most missed opportunities in the Championship. According to 'Footy Accumulators' Bamford has missed 27 big chances this season alone. The former Chelsea and Boro hitman was second favourite, just behind Fulham's Mitrovic to pick up the golden boot award in the Championship this term, but instead constant mistakes in front of goal have cost the clubs many points. Bamford is not the only Leeds player in the top 10; Harrison has been credited with missing 12 sitters this term.

Leeds parted with over £4m in agents fee's in the last 12 months.
Leeds Utd have parted with just over £4m in agents fee's between February 1, 2019 and January 31, 2020. FIFA regulations since 2015 have meant the details of fees and transactions must be published for all to see. Their spend was the fourth highest in the Championship, behind Fulham, Swansea and Stoke City.
The transactions include the departures of Bailey Peacock-Farrell, Jack Clarke and Pontus Jansson and the loan signings of Helder Costa, Ben White and Jack Harrison, alongside new contracts for the likes of Liam Cooper, Stuart Dallas, Kalvin Phillips, Mateusz Klich and Pablo Hernandez!
