Not a list war, just a difference of opinion. I'm happy we've won 26 games so far this season, some think we should have won 42. It reminds me of when we got relegated in 2004 and people said that all they wanted was players that gave 100%. When we got players who gave 100% they then wanted them

Paul, None of that matters if we don't get promoted. Next season we'll have a weaker squad (we're constantly being told that we're going to have to sell if we don't go up), a smaller budget (smaller parachute payment in the second season down) and have to compete with three clubs coming down

H. I don't know all the ins and outs of the rules - but would we not have risked FFP sanctions if all those players hadn't been offloaded? With the possible exception of Tyler Adams I don't think that we've missed any of them anyway - I can barely (ie "can't") remember who they all were

I actually forgot to mention the ref. Sometimes you know after 5 mins that the ref just isn't up to it ! That was the case with this guy and he really shouldn't be reffing at this level and that's nothing to do with the penalty that should have been. He was awful.  However, he wasn't the

You're absolutely right. I haven't been this angry at a Leeds manager in some time. What the hell is he telling the players? We have two of the most devastating wingers in the league, including (possibly) the fastest winger (fastest player?) in the division in Dan James. At no point during

Don't get frustrated with Cree & (especially) Georgino losing the ball. A mild grinding of teeth will have to do :) If they're losing the ball then they're doing their job trying to provoke something and we've got to accept that it doesn't come off every time. However the number of times they
