  1. He was terrible! Weve been pretty crap ever since as well.
  2. dear lord, that was a fun game!
  3. Was it city 0 wolves 6 in bennys first game, the wolfie game? Or had we just got smashed away at bradford, can’t remember which one was his first!
  4. I guess we are waiting for the outcome of this, but we all know what we saw in saturday, hope hes got lucky and it isnt too bad, good luck to the lad!
  5. Have to agree, defensively we are pretty well set up, but we could easily predict what would happen against qpr, those 2 in midfield lack the forward pass, dickie gave that more than those 2 yesterday, and to come out on the last day of the transfer window and say now we know we need a number 9 in the summer is ridiculous.
  6. Agreed, plus they didnt sell their decent player. Im not really sure what putting cornick on alongside wells and mehmeti was really likely to achieve
  7. Ive no idea what the thinking is, but he still has a contract, probably on a good salary too, and so does hwr and bajic, why not move all 3 if them on if they are never likely to play and get someone in to properly challenge max?
  8. Agreed, im pleased hes back and has had a few good games, but im not particularly impressed with that attitude, or they way he speaks. hes had 2 championship games in his career as far as i know, he seems to be of the opinion hes the next roberto carlos. Pring paid his dues for years, vyner has too, they have had loans all over the country and had to wait to get a place in the first team. Some humility might be nice.
  9. It wont date though, the usual kits are replaced every season, but this wont be
  10. Also, the number of games packed so closely together isnt giving enough time for recuperation, the cup replays, which have been particularly full on have not helped, its a miracle the back 5 have remained available for selection for so long, clearly those players are particularly resistant to knocks, while some others struggle to stay fit
  11. Lots of classics here, my lad stood looking at me shocked when we were in the dolman recently and i joined in a “we all follow the city over land and sea and cardiff” chant,, hed never heard it,, its a cracker
  12. Have to agree,,, though if he can maintain this level til the end of the season id maybe consider a 1+1 just in case the injuries start again. Apart from the last 2 months, he just has hasnt been worth the transfer fee and wages.
  13. Good to see this sort of thing,,, the museum could be in the form of glass displays inside the concourse walls? i guess the 1909 cup final shirts must be our most valuable items, if any exist?
  14. We can assume that the manager was involved with the twine deal, he may have prior knowledge of madube too?
  15. At this point, while hes got a decent left foot, id have to say hes not done a lot for us and will be one of the higher earners… would be nice if that could be freed up and he be moved on. With the knight, bird, tgh and possibly twine signings we are clearly moving towards a younger more mobile midfield, (with a possible resale value)…
  16. I agree, but nothing will come around for the lansdowns,,, SL is a billionaire who didnt want our dirty laundry on public display by a football manager, and couldn’t be bothered to deal with someone who can be prickly,,, if i had more money than god id probably do it too!
  17. Harsh on bell, he’s young, quick, and can finish, and ive never seen anything to suggest he isnt a top young pro. he isnt messi with the ball, if he was he wouldnt be with us,,, playing right wing back whens he most dangerous as a counterattacking forward has screwed him
  18. My thoughts are with you re the gromit hunt! Interesting, i quite like a stadium build,,, for rival clubs too, ive been watching the liverpool and everton builds, and watching ours happen was great and very interesting,, will keep an eye out for updates of elland road over the coming yeas, its a big city, spent a few days there a few years ago, and i didn’t know there was such a waiting list.
  19. Im no expert on the area surrounding elland road, but why arent the club increasing capacity to fit more people in? A year or 2 in the prem should allow at least some improvements, and leeds are always throwing money around for new players? The stadium hasnt been worked on for years has it?
  20. Remains to be seen, but unless either of these 3 young uns turn into the next scott, then i dont think our transfer dealings merit much more than a 5/10, no new striker in, if anything happens to conway then we are really down to wells and thats it.
  21. This loan back thing makes sense from the point of view of the wage budget being maxed out, and next year with some departures that will create the space for him. A couple of cheap young signings which dont really affect the budget, weimann leaving to create space for twine, and we are more or less in the same salary position we were on 1st jan. I dont think paying a transfer fee was ever really the problem, and the bhig cup games can only have helped. Would have liked to see a big striker in, but apparently this wasnt a priority!
  22. Hes signed,, i think its going to be an interesting summer for our out of contract midfielders!
  23. Hes had a good month or 2, but overall, it would be hard to say hes been an impressive signing for us. If he keeps his form up for the rest of the season, then consider another year, tgh is more naturally gifted in my view.
  24. Surely with what we have available, this is the most likely combination to get us a goal?!
