Good Morning Everyone The rumour is that Jansson will start tonight. Could not help but think at the time that Ipswich would not have scored their first from the set piece had Jansson had been playing! In fact the only player on the treatment table is Ekuban, who is expected not to play until November. It was revealed in Christiansen's presser yesterday that Lasogga refused to ask the gaffer to be excused from the Ipswich game follwing the birth of his baby daughter on Friday night. Nor did the German mention the birth to team mates or management. Liam Cooper has been called up to the Scotland team!!! Speaking in his presser, Scotland team Manager Strachan said : He’s playing well. He’s playing in a winning side and he is a big influence on the side, he is the captain now. That’s big progress for Leeds, which is good, and himself,” “I probably should have had him in the last squad to be honest but I made sure I didn’t make the same mistake again. Because of his performances, he is back in the squad. He has been highly-rated by my scouting staff and myself over the past couple of months.” Well done Liam!!! Is Cooper that good, or are Scotland that poor though?
Morning On Scotland- With their Celtic roots both OLOF and Shaks could get into their international squad. The Sweatties are so piss poor Malta, San Marino and Luxembourg would paste them. Chesney is a clueless manager.. legend for us as a captain but cant cut it as a manager in todays world.
morning ... good to have Pontus back, he is a warrior ... Cooper is finally showing us his quality, really felt for him when he had to play with Bellusci next to him and Silvestri behind him, not to mention the invisible midfield in front of him Scotland are suffering badly, and I predicted their national team would suffer when they shut down their old format for the reduced teams Premier League ... it was a move to get more Old Firm games on the calendar, but what it did was reduce the number of players given exposure to playing against the "best" in Scotland ... today the SPFL is very poor, and former strong clubs like Rangers, Hibs, Hearts, Aberdeen and Dundee United would struggle to hack it in the Championship ... it's very sad, because the game needs a strong Scotland producing a conveyor belt of talent ... when you think that Steven Fletcher is leading their line it's fcuking depressing ... won't be too long before England's national team joins them on the international scrap heap though thanks to the Prem's greed fcuk you know who Radz is God
Morning all Strachan knows Wilkinson but can never emulate him. Strachan knew Billy too but ...... Anyway well done Coops, well deserved, but is there a huge difference between Pontus & Coops? Pontus would get into any Prem team, but would Coops. is he that far behind the England CBs? Tonight will be the toughest test so far, a midweek schlepp down to the arse of Wales, a cold damp night, a brutal not pretty team wound up by a mongrel manager to damage Saiz & Alioski to stop us. Coming away without any injuries will be ok, a draw even better but a win would be awesome & put some fresh air into the top.
Unusually I think it's dry and mild in South Wales tonight... so that's one excuse gone... so just the brutal team and mongrel manager to cope with doc! Feels like a big game. Come on Leeds.
morning all bit of humour i found on leeds facebook page...well it made me chuckle. Our lass has threatened to leave me because of my obsession with Leeds united. She Saiz it's all I talk about. I try my hardest to provide for her but it seems putting a Roofe over her head and food on top of the table isn't enough. It's not always being plain Ayling but this has come as a bolt out of the blue. Things Grot a bit out of hand one night after a few too many Beradi and cokes. She Phillips over the slightest thing after a drink. Anita to understand that she means the Weidwald to me and we need someone to Pontus in the right direction, she's been to Elland back bless her.
Very clever,how do people come up with these things?. Hope were all laughing after tonight C'MON LEEDS.
She told me when she was O'Kaned on Bailey's that that she'd hadi nough, was giving me the sacko and moving in with her grandma. Eunan? I said. She said Hernandez look after her better than I do. I came home from work and she'd packed her bags, she was lonergan. It's a bit of a shaughnessy. ....Milky won't be giving up the day job! .
The Wolves fans said much the same a few weeks back before our game at their place. They were the only side who could play football and we were a very rough bunch who might hurt them.... Get real fellas - Espirito Santo got taught a lesson on how to win a game in this league - and it had nothing at all to do with "being rough". He was outmanaged and his team outplayed on the day. Anyone who stereotypes a side one way or another at this stage is making a big mistake in this league. Warnock has picked up the tab that he is all grunt and no class but this is about winning sufficient points to get out of this bloody league. I'd back him to beat any "gloves on in October" continental twat who thinks their God's gift to the Championship like Santo. Others like Carvalhal, Farke, Stam, even Jokanavic at Fulham all want to play the pretty stuff but it's got them nowhere at the moment. Wagner was the exception and Christiansen may be as well - let's wait and see.
I would not play alioski i would bench him.put dallas on one side and roofe the other.bench hernandez and play lassoga as lone wolf.saiz given free rein and maybe start veiera too.puts more grit in the side and gives optiobs for later in the game.but then again what the fook do i know just ask chippy.
Mongrel manager is is correct as he has no finnese. Gobby cnut who rages at players to get stuck in and when he gets a player with skill he dont know what to do with them. He had a belter at QPR but by the time the kid left to play his football in Italy he was as fat as Paddy Kenney
The Millwall version; After a few too many pints of Websters down my Gregory the Mrs was not best pleased,especially as i haven't got the shopping she wanted. "Archer going to Morison's or what!!?" she barked as she got me in a half Nelson,"i don't know why i Meredithed you!!" she frustratingly continued "and don't going putting a Fred of that ****e Not606 site, get your White Saville row suit on and shuffle to some tunes from Donovan and James Brown" i said to my mate "O'Brien i'm in the doghouse again"
As I only know one of your players here's my version - Millwall ground sold to make way for a Morrisons.
