Re: Middlesbrough pre match chat

Arguing over what a players position is. Please back up your argument by quoting your coaching qualifications to suggest you know what qualifies as a 9. So many players now can play multiple positions. Faaip suggested not that long ago that Summerville’s best position was on the right. Thank feck Fo...

So we are the Ostriches and not the Peacocks.
We do have some rather unorthodox running styles in the team. Bamford reminds me of Penelope Pitstop when he runs. For those who remember the Ant Hill mob cartoons.

Re: The #LUFC Breakfast Debate (Wednesday 17th April) Leeds will fail FFP if promoted

The suggested promotion bonus amount tipping us over the FFP threshold is just speculation for me. It would be poor financial planning to allow that to happen, considering the nature of related investigations occurring, all clubs will be very careful and doubling down to ensure the batteries in thei...

I mean if we don’t make it I’d take us to beat them or Norwich no bother. WBA not so sure.

Be a result if Soton pip Ipswich to the autos. I mean if we don’t make it I’d take us to beat them or Norwich no bother. WBA not so sure. Playoffs are a different kettle of fish to a league game. Far more riding on the result. It takes big game players and strong mentalities. I am not saying we are...

Re: Golf Thread - The Masters

The one thing I would say about Tiger is he was the first player to hit monster drives with an all round amazing game. Daly could on his day be a force. Back then tee to green was shorter on many Major championship courses that have now have added yardage, particularly on the par 5’s. I remember man...

Re: Golf Thread - The Masters

I am not overly concerned about ranking. A lot of the time like in other sports it is testimony to earning points, which can be inflated by the number of tournaments a player enters. It is a decent guide to form. McIroy has been in the top 5 pretty much for years and hasn’t won a major for near on 1...

Re: The #LUFC Breakfast Debate (Tuesday 16th April) Why no 'B' plan

No point in asking the question to me unless you tell me what the alternative is. Remember last time. Bielsa to Marsch 😂 That is the real valid issue of sacking a manager. There has to be a better replacement. At Championship level - answers on a forum postcard with suggestions. I cannot envisage t...

Re: Golf Thread - The Masters

Jordan is a great player but never showed the king of consistent dominance were seeing from Scottie right now. He's not just on a hot streak like other players - Spieth, Smith, even Rahm. He is just head and shoulders (not just literally) above everyone else every week. Check your facts mate and lo...

Re: The #LUFC Breakfast Debate (Monday 15th April) Leeds are falling apart - again

Summerville doesn’t put many crosses in because he plays inverted. He is not great with his left foot from what I have seen. The point of Firpo is to put the crosses in on the overlap, Summerville creates that space by drawing the defenders. He does cross occasionally when he cuts in onto his right...

Re: Golf Thread - The Masters

Probably right. He doesn’t have the temperament of Scheffler. In fairness not many do. Scheffler is in a different league at the moment. But the same could be said about Spieth not that long ago. His game seems to have deserted him. Always a new kid on the block - that is why the game is such a gre...

Re: Golf Thread - The Masters

Rory may win another major at some point but he'll never win the Masters. Too much scar tissue at Augusta. The year he blew an 8 shot lead destroyed him mentally. He needs to start well to have a chance. He always tends to have left himself too much to do on days 3 and 4 with the exception of the y...

Re: The #LUFC Breakfast Debate (Monday 15th April) Leeds are falling apart - again

Bearing in mind we had to win the game or at least get a point, no way should we have taken off our best attacking option & most effective defensive midfielder. What were Summerville & Archie doing to justify staying on the pitch? Connor Roberts, unlucky to be subbed too as he was one of ou...

Re: The #LUFC Breakfast Debate (Monday 15th April) Leeds are falling apart - again

Archie is the deep defensive player when we have a corner. Hence why I can understand DF keeping him on the pitch. Although is he the only player he trusts to do this role. Gruev has no pace, and I think it is fair to say Archie is better at recovering the ball if the opposition break. Roberts was p...

Re: Golf Thread - The Masters

If I am being entirely truthful I have a rotator cuff issue with my right shoulder. Had an MRI a week ago. Seeing my consultant next week to learn the bad news. I believe I have buggered the tendon. I Cannot play golf now, watching just annoys me at the moment.

Re: Golf Thread - The Masters

Should be an exciting last round with an ultra tough firm & fast Augusta. Would like to see someone knock Scheffler off his perch tbh. No fish jokes…. I wouldn’t bream of it. On a serious note I haven’t really watched the Masters this year, just haven’t had time. Had to rely on highlights to ke...

Re: Blackburn Rovers Post match discussion

The only players we are in danger of losing are Summerville & Gnonto, and maybe Rodon if we are unable to entice him back to Leeds on loan, or we are outbid for his services. We would have to buy Rodon. Spurs will not loan him in the last year of his contract unless no one wants to buy him. I c...

It was a really well worked goal although we helped them out a little. I must admit I’d describe myself as an optimist but I’m struggling to see where a win is coming from. Aye it does seem like there is a lack of belief running through the team. But this is a massive test of character. You cannot ...

Not sure there was much risk tbh. He was fine and the most likely to change the game. Surely that Smodickz bloke is going in the summer. 25 goals. For Blackburn.
