Last night had it all, crying fans, head in hands, crying kid at the end, Leeds in despair. You gotta laugh.
Stay classy.
No chance of any Chelsea fan doing that where Leeds are concerned.
I'm not one to hold a grudge, but your team of the early 70s.........

Who's team of the early 70s? rofl

But yes...I ran away from home in 1972 because my parents said I wasn't old enough to travel to Leeds with my 12 year old mate.

We went and MY team got beat 2-1 in the FA Cup 6th round by probably the best English team I've ever seen.

It was but that tie was played at Colchester (not Leeds) and was in 1971 (not 1972); other than that you're spot on!

My guess is LoonyTunes is more likely to be a Spurs fan... wink

Dare to dream again? We've been here before with Red Bull and various other rumours but we'll see what happens.

Been avoiding this thread since our end to the season. Thankfully the trolls have pissed off now.

Nothing more than a well timed leak in my opinion. Bielsa has yet to sign on for another season and Radrizzani has openly said we have a “difficult” transfer window ahead.

Tired of all the mucking about. Uncle Ken, GFH and Cellino all set a very low benchmark so it’s easily for Radrizzani and co to look better but we need more.

We had a shot at attempting promotion on a shoestring this season and failed, time to put some cash in and get a few decent players. Bend the FFP rules like the rest of the tosspots out there seem to do.

We could certainly do with their funds but personally I'll be amazed if these Qatar stories amount to anything!

The first thing we need to resolve is what Bielsa's doing; if he stays we might have a chance of persuading players like Phillips to keep the faith for another season but if he goes the chances of retaining our best talent reduce significantly IMO. Problem is, if Bielsa stays he costs so much we're not likely to have much left to spend on the squad but if we've nothing to invest in the team he probably won't stay anyway; therefore, without more investment from somewhere it feels a bit like Catch 22 to me.....

The cost for Bielsa covers him and his entire backroom staff, in my view it’s worth every penny.

Radrizzani needs to either get some investment in from somewhere or dig into his own pockets. We can’t give it another shot on a shoestring, it simply won’t work.

Side note - nice to see the perennial bottlers piss it up again at Wembley. Utterly superb given their celebrations at Elland Road. fk fragile fat Frank, fk Ashley Cole and fk the rest of those tossers.

Today's update is that Radz doesn't want to sell right now as he knows he could make a huge profit if he sells if we get promoted, but could that mean sell a stake to the Qatari now with agreed value if we get promoted.

With the story that we going to be scouring the free/loan market it sounds that we could do with some cash right now to get some signings in.

After the previous stshow of owners we've had, Radz has a lot of good will with the supporters right now. However, he is going to see that turn very quickly if he turns down this Qatari money and then sells Jack Clarke to fund a couple of other signings. What's the point in losing your brightest young talent to end up with more Jack Harrisons on loan? fk that.

As above, now we just need Radz to stick to what he's agreed and we'll have another go next season.
