Rasmus Ankersen fancy dress…? 😈

That sounds like Selles’ fault, not Paul’s!

Totally. And predictably. Which is why I hope Tino doesn’t show his face this season!

Alcaraz has already indicated he’ll stay even if relegated. Time will tell I guess, but I hope he does.

Not that much actually. Or at least not as much as I had imagined. Partly due to the fact that I accepted it quite a few games ago, so have braced myself, along with a combination of accepting that we ARE the worst team in the league and disillusionment with the PL generally (and due to that thinking some time out of it may be no bad thing). What really does boil my piss is the reason we are the worst team in the league, despite having a half decent core of players. Board incompetence. But that’s for another thread…

Good read. Have to say I can’t see Tella staying with us though. Hopefully Smallbone & Stephens more likely to return.

I’d definitely add Alfie House to that list. All very good young writers, and Jacob is a definite step up from the previous Athletic correspondent. Glad that he is staying ‘with us’ next season and hope that Alfie does too.

Agree. Like Brentford without Rasmus, Luton have done better since Jones departed.

Probably put this in the wrong thread..

The Leeds Utd Supporters Advisory Board issued this statement tonight. Doubt it will do much but at least officially registers their discontent. Their season - and Board - is nowhere near as bad as ours. Maybe we need something like it? Leeds supporters issue 'no confidence' statement FT: Bournemouth 4-1 Leeds United The Leeds United Supporters Advisory Board have just released the following statement after their 4-1 defeat to Bournemouth: "After the result and performance of the team today, the Leeds United Supporters Advisory Board (SAB) would like to place on record its lack of faith in the current management team at the club. "The SAB have been supportive of many decisions this year and will always work with the club to improve the way the club connects with its supporters and communities, so it is only right that we also address the current performances and the situation we are now faced with. "Leeds United fans have, and will always, support our club through its ‘ups and downs’, but with four games left this situation is no longer sustainable. "The narrow escape from relegation last season should have been the catalyst for a season of growth but this season has now turned into a humiliating disaster. "The appointment of Jesse Marsch, a style of play so different from that of Marcelo Bielsa, the sacking of Marcsh after the transfer window had closed, the hiring of a of a fifth-choice manager, the purchase of a £35m striker who has played hardly any minutes in a relegation dogfight, the costly and embarrassing mistakes made in the Jean Kevin Augustin case… there have been far too many questionable decisions and people must be made accountable. "The players must also take responsibility for their abject performances and lack of professional pride since half time against Crystal Palace. To pull on that famous white shirt is something that us fans can only dream of, yet it seems that some of the squad don’t have the fight for this battle. "We are therefore asking for immediate changes to be made to the first team coach and to those responsible for the recruitment of the managers and players who have been brought in over the last 14 months. "We would like to place on record our thanks and gratitude to the many staff, at both Thorp Arch and Elland Road, who worked tirelessly to make Leeds United a club that all of those who support it can be proud of. "The Supporters Advisory Board are due to meet with the club this coming week and hope that they are able to respond to this statement before the meeting takes place."

Did anyone witness a confrontation between a fan and Toby Steele tonight at the final whistle?

That’s the irony. The good ones go, the shit ones stay with us - and are likely okay EFL standard.

So turns out Pep cosplay and 5-dimensional chess aren’t enough. Who knew? 🤷‍♂️

If it makes them play like him, I’m all for it! Not sure it was quite a mullet, more an unkempt prog-rock type style…

Because ‘Pep cosplay’ doesn’t = Pep. Strange that.

At one point in the first half Theo received the ball on the left side of the box, with his back to goal. Yes, he had 2 defenders behind him, but he just didn’t know what to and they robbed him easily. Me and my mate both said, ‘imagine Ings getting that ball, he’d have shielded it, turned and would have found a way to get a shot away’. Semmen’s smug “no brainer” in selling him (and not replacing) was ultimately the act that sealed our fate.

Yes, also remember “playing a striker doesn’t make any difference”. Wonder if Kane, Haaland and Salah have been told this too? 6-0.

The team gave at least 2 points to Leeds. We didn’t score.

You’ve spoken to Bednarek to form that opinion I presume?

Or why weren’t the CB’s taking control of the situation?

Why do we always have to have anti-heroes? He’s a young player who is developing. He’s going to make rookie mistakes here and there. Personally I probably would have rested him too before now, but they must see more in him than either of the other options. Not his fault he’s being picked. If they’re wearing the shirt, support them. The booing of Elyonoussi, whatever you think of him, is disgraceful. Think of the impact on a player hearing that when about to come on due to an injury?

Take it you’ve seen the Wolves goal?

They are in for a very pleasant surprise…

As one of only two Directors of SR, he owns the club so not like he can be fired like an employee. Solak and Kraft could of course force him out but that’s highly unlikely I would say. Our only hope is that day-to-day control of the club is handed back to Semmens (generally) and Wilcox (football matters) and he goes back to scouting new clubs to buy.

Anyone got a video clip of the assault on KWP?
