please log in to view this image Leeds Utd v Middlesborough Monday 15th February 2016 @ 7.45 (subject to Sky moving the fixture again) At least we'll definately have streaming links!!! Good Morning Everyone, Instead of looking forward to a traditional 3pm Saturday afternoon kick off, Leeds have to make to with a Monday evening fixture, thanks to Sky. Leeds have won once in eight games, so the prospect of entertaining the club who tops the league should be daunting, BUT it is fixtures like these that Leeds do well in... Remember its a local berby, and Boro need to win. You'll recall in the opposite fixture last Sweptember Boro were gifted a 3-0, having only actually had two shots (or thereabouts) on target. Let us hope we get revenge on our Yorkshire colleagues. Berardi is back in training, and hopes to be back for the Cup game at Vicarage Road. Wood is still out with a hamstring injury. Adam Johnson's contract has been terminated by Sunderland! (due to guilty pleas) Remember during the Woodgate / Bowyer trial? I read a tabloid paper where the jouro called up all Premiership clubs asking whether they would consider taking them at their club. THEY ALL TOOK THE MORAL HIGH GROUND, flatly refusing!!! A month or two later the majority of them were scrambling for their signatures!!! Who would take Johnson at ER? Let me ask you this, if the girl was a few months older, I do not believe any of this would be happening? Agree or not? Warnock is the new Manager of Rotherham. He's going through Yorkshire clubs like Shaks goes through pints! Blackwell will be his assistant. please log in to view this image Letter: advert breaches "Protection From Harrassment Act 1997". Says initial request to remove was denied on grounds of "freedom of speech" Thoughts?
Morning Elland. On Johnson, I think he's been a prat. But she was 15, in a nightclub & clearly trying to bag a footballer. Unless there's something I've, I think this is a poor decision. That said, I wouldn't have him at Leeds because we don't need the adverse publicity. On Cellino, we're currently better off with him for all his faults unless someone wants to buy the club and take us forward. On the game, will be a difficult match. But I think we'll play 4321 & will make 'Boro's evening difficult. I'll go for a 2-2 draw
Morning all. On Cellino I want him out so badly but as a few others have said, what is the alternative? I have got to the stage where I would take a points deduction or drop a division and start again if it meant getting rid of GFH and Cellino and getting sensible and caring owners. If Cellino is here this time next season, we will be around the same position in the league having the same conversations just as we were this time last season. I am ready to roll the dice, Cellino out at any cost as long as we still have a club to support. Cellino haters want him out, Cellino supporters partly blame GFH, last season Cellino haters still wanted him out, Cellino supporters blamed the mess he was trying to clear up that Bates left. Cellino is a compulsive egotistical liar who believes fans are fools, coaches are melons and the truth is he is a crook. On Boro I really don't care, we can win lose or draw, it isn't going to impact this season.
Morning all. Not really arsed about Cellino one way or the other and if Im honest, have begun to get very bored with the Leeds stuff on and off the field. Im no glory hunter but have wasted far too much time discussing, club owners, club finances etc with the lack of proper football. To be honest, its not the reason I started supporting the club and I know I will take little interest in the goings on until such time as we are once again challenging for promotion. Games like Monday nights upcoming one are too painful and meaningless to watch. Will continue to check in here for a bit of banter but not to the level I have done. A sabbatical is badly needed
Johnson has only got himself to blame imo We'll get naff all out of the Boro game Cellino... It will look like he's going to sell in the summer, then he'll change his mind and still be here for the duration.
four posts on a breakfast /matchday thread... Cellino is killing more than just interest in the club.... Btw are those of you who wanted to only discuss football related matters happy now the board has died?
Morning all for the Saturday. As mentioned above, fatigue has definitely set-in. Ellands stat about 1 win in 8 brings it home again. Was that the Wolves game? Despite this I wanted to go to the Watford game but it sold out, primarily to season tickets holders, with hardly any left when the membership bun fight started. Never mind, there's always club merchandise to buy! How many emails are you getting from Leeds at the moment, trying to sell merchandise? Seems more than normal. I was impressed that despite our current situation we had sold c 100k skinny fit replica tops. Hoping we surprise everyone on Monday night with an attacking formation, with some exciting flair football. As for the climb down on the advert outside the club, I've seen worse personal advertising based attacks on politicians during election campaigns. Shows that money talks, when it comes to a legal threat. Shame that money isn't talking on the pitch.
You're right, if he spent as much money on the team as he does on litigation we'd ****ing have Messi up front
Pleased to say after his lawyers were looking at suing the 70 who paid for the poster another 1200 Leeds people have pledged donations to the next get Cellino out fundraiser..... I will donate the money I used to spend on attending games to any protest ideas that are genuine and do not break the law... And I will work on the basis that free speech and opinion based on evidence is never harassment.
