Why are the people who run football, hellbent on ruining football?

Okafor proving me wrong. Looked good again today, reyt goal as well. I like being wrong sometimes.

I’m going to go for the positives. We looked solid, were the better team for most of the game & I knew the sucker punch was coming at about 85 mins, because Leeds. Okafor is beginning to turn my opinion, looked dangerous. Longstaff is fucking immense. Bogle. Darlow. Ball stuck well to DCL & Nmecha.

That was frustrating, but if we can’t score, we’ll get dragged down.

We’ve looked really solid, but terrified at the concept of actually scoring.

I’m not having the Brendy has been good narrative. He’s been utter shite.

Brendy. On the right wing. In the Premier League 🫣

the Square Ball lads have picked a cracking time to go to the US.

3 games in. Ampadu, Tanaka, Gruev, Perri all broken. We have to pay for last season with a season of peak Leedsyness, don’t we.

Silly boy

Having listened to Beren on TSB, a few things seem clear. Willing to spend big on Paixao/Muniz, but would’ve meant selling big names for PSR. There’s been a decision to stay in budget at some point. I understand the logic, but the execution was amateur. Underwood completely out of his depth I think.

Seem someone else make this point… Right now, having fucked it entirely, maybe persuading free agent Josh Brownhill to come to us wouldn’t be the worst idea.

Jonny Howson put in some right shifts in the number 10 role for us back in the day…👀.

Here’s a hot* take. The 49ers should spare Farke the indignity of what’s coming his way, if they’re not willing to back him. Pay him off now, let him keep his well earned pride, go get Mourinho and shithouse our way to 17th. *shit take. It’s a shit take, but I’m a little bit peeved right now.

Right then. I’m all for a collective LUFC meltdown. Bring it on.

If this ends with no signing, as is looking likely, surely not only is Adam Underwood going to have to be replaced, but the whole setup needs a full on root and branch investigation. Absolute shambles.

Reckon we could convince Bale out of retirement? What’s Ian Rush doing these days?

I suppose he’s Welsh, at least. So at least 4 of the other lads will like him. I think he’s a little prick, and smacks of late desperation, but here we are.

Just need Graham and/or Beren to put us out of our misery at this point.

The most positive I can be is to hope they’re waiting on the Gyabi deal to go through to greenlight us moving for a decent target. Stupidly negligent approach either way.

I fucking hate deadline day.

I sincerely hope there’s a recall clause in Largie’s loan contract for when the 49ers inevitably sack Farke because they failed back him. We’re going to need him.

We’re not signing anyone, are we

I want us to hijack this deal. Not because I think he’s good, I’ve no idea. Just think having a lad on the pitch with Kevin on the back of his shirt would be a laugh.

How long till Graham Smyth or Beren Cross post something along the lines of: “Leeds United agree the sale of Willy Gnonto to Brighton for the sum of £20m. This concludes their business for the summer”.

At this point I can only assume Adam Underwood is riddled with ADHD. Can be the only reason why he’d leave it this late. Needs his last minute adrenaline rush to kick in the dopamine he needs to get to work to get a signing made.

Pep doing a great job of providing evidence that he’d be a pretty average manager without the world’s best players and a blank chequebook. The bald fraud.

I’m going to say it quietly. Jack Harrison was… ….good.

I’ve not enjoyed a 0-0 draw that much in a long time. We do need to work out how to score though. No goals from open play is a bit worrying.

Maybe we should get that young scouse lad at Hull?

We’re such a weird polarised fanbase. This place is bliss compared to Elon’s hellhole, but we still won’t allow one another to have differing opinions and outlooks on the club’s activity and prospects. Fine to disagree isn’t it?

Leaving it a month with an only few days left of the window to find an adequate Paxo alternative. Incompetence, or negligence?

Leeds’ approach to transfer windows is akin to my dog thinking he’ll find a squirrel in a bush he sees on his walk because there was one there once a few years ago. We landed a late bargain on Raph once. We think it’s going to happen again. It probably isn’t.

Also. Can we get a refund on Okafor?

DCL doing exactly what I worried he’d do. Probably injured now anyway.

Brought that on themselves. Had they attacked that match properly, would’ve been a nice confidence boost going into the Newcastle game. As it is, they arrogantly thought they could just walk it, now their confidence has plummeted through the floor and we’ll likely carry those doubts into the weekend

Hilarious. We deserved that, the way we’ve approached this.

Talking about scum on my American stream now. Fuck sake lads (and lass).

There’s a very championshippy feel to us here. And dare I say the squad in general as it stands.

Well this is pretty dire

Not going to complain about the Justin signing. Is what it is. We’re in a relegation battle with limited budget & need backup. If we don’t finish the window with a marquee signing though, it’s hard to see this summer’s business as anything but forward planning to get promoted again next season.

Rare moment of balanced thought from me: Farke tends to learn from and react to his mistakes. Yesterday was his mistake entirely. All on him. Everything. Team selection, tactics, mentally prepping his team, to late subs… He’s made mistakes at Leeds before, & almost always reacts positively.

I feel like more needs to be made about how big sixy the ref was yesterday. Obviously not why we lost, but if we’d stuck in it, the ref could’ve likely swung it in their favour. Dan Moylan mentioned it on TMB but I’ve not seen much else, probably because we were utter garbage, but that’s by the by.

Farke has a lot to learn from this. Can’t do it again. They’re obviously a lot better than us, but we allowed them to be. No pressing, off the ball shape gave them so much space, when we got the ball we were ponderous & gave it straight back, playing into trouble at the back when needed to clear it.

Forget the Everton pen, that was bullshit. Diving little shit.

Bit bad this, innit.

Is Perri stuck in .25 speed?

Nmecha for Piroe. This is not a Joel Piroe game.

Up until the goal, we were holding our own, under a lot of pressure but had a few chances. Conceded a corner and immediately shot the bed.

Ref not allowed to give them yellows?
