  1. If you''d have told me on New Years Eve that Leeds wouldn''t win and of their next 4 (non FA Cup games) I''d have laughed in your face!! We haven''t looked like conceding goals nevermind losing games but here we are... I still maintain though that NO team in this league will pick up more points than Leeds and Norwich between now and May
  2. obviously the game at Carrow Road can''t be won by both teams... incidentally if Leeds get to the JPT final that game will have to be rearranged for later in the season!
  3. How is it just about your results? If Leeds and Norwich win every game between now and the end of the season - Leeds will be Champions!!
  4. [quote user="First Wazzock"]I''m not saying this isn''t going to happen, BUT there is nothing official anywhere to say it HAS happened.[/quote] its on birminghams website...
  5. Well I for one am very happy with the signing, he gives us something we don''t have and thats a cleverness and intelligence as opposed to brute force or percentages with Beckford (he''ll get one in eventually, if we keep creating chances) All that is useless though unless we arrest this slump and remember how to defend, at the moment, even after our worst run of form in over a year we''re still well placed to go up and I''d have snapped anybody''s hand off if they''d have suggested this scenario in August. I don''t care if you win every game from now unitl the end of the season and The Football League decide to promote you 2 divisions because you''re just too good! as long as we get promoted this year, i''ll be very, very happy!
  6. can you honestly see Ken Bates giving anybody that much money!?!? he wouldn''t give Beckford a Championship wage!
  7. its funny, the exact same thread can be found on Leeds boards when we were on a similar run to you lot...
  8. how is it a risk? he hasn''t cost us a penny - if he''s shite or gets injured we''ll send him back!
  9. [quote user="blahblahblah"][quote user="Canaries in Bed"]If they get him in, they will promoted as winners in my book, he may have had a bit of a rusty patch, but when he was playing for Cov in a higher year, he destroyed many teams.[/quote]a) the league is ours to lose now. Leeds can only take 3 points from us, and if we keep winning, they can sign Ronaldinho and it won''t matter.b) This guy has played 4 times since last March. He has had a persistent knee injury - will that effect his pace ? Will he be able to last a whole match, or regain match fitness ?c) 20k a week is a lot when you consider b).[/quote] leeds have 2 games in hand!
  10. with regards to the Barnard situation; Southend accepted Leeds'' bid but wanted a player in return which Leeds weren''t prepared to do... Southampton were! Shame because I thinbk he''d have been great with Beckford
  11. To be honest if we can''t remember how to defend then its a complete waste of time.
  12. Apparently until the end of the season, hopefully this will go some way to stopping you lot running away with the league...
  13. One thing i will say is that the chances of any team getting more points than Norwich or Leeds between now and May is very, very slim
  14. As a Leeds fan I''d have to sat its good news, if just to settle the team down again, we''ve been beyond woeful the last 2 matches and were fortunate to only get beaten by 2 yesterday... Your result didn''t help my mood at all but hopefully it will give the team a kick up the ass - the last time we lost, we scored 16 goals in the next 5 games. Unfortunately our cup games are beginning to get in the way, not playing next week leaves the door open for you lot but as we''ve seen so many times before, the pressure of being chased is very different...
  15. What a ridiculous thread! Leeds are 8 points better off than you lot with a game in hand and only lost one all season, yet you expect them to capitulate in the 2nd half of the season whilst you go unbeaten... We''ve got our first 11 back now apart from the GK after a series of injuries to defenders, midfielders and front men. We have the depth of squad to sustain our run, do you? Should Beckford leave Leeds have ear-marked Gary Hooper of Scunthorpe or Billy Sharpe or Sheff U to replace him.
  16. Excellent Post Blah(x3) Its a case of which is worth more to Leeds a max of £2m or pomotion, you''d have to say promotion and the club took that stance when they turned down offers for him in the Summer. Time will tell if they still keep to that... Your point about the CCC players is true - Max Gradel must have won us 10-12 points on his own in the last 3 months
  17. yes it is! he will be a millionaire by signing 1 document. good luck to the lad!
  18. If he left for any club other than Newcastle (from those being mentioned) then it really is a step down in career terms
  19. In all honesty only Newcastle have the ability to tempt him away. They look set for promotion back to the Premiership and are probably the biggest club in the Championship. One thing that could keep Beckford at Leeds is that he could win a medal, something not certain at Newcastle as he might not get the games. Another thing is, moving on a Bosman would make him considerably richer than not doing. If he wins us promotion and leaves then good luck to the lad, though I highly doubt he is a Premiership striker. I think its very much short-term thinking if Newcastle snap him up. I remember Jason Scotland of Swansea being in a similar situation a few years ago, he stayed the season after!
  20. Also, Leeds only need 44 points from their last 27 games - thats midtable form!
  21. Interesting thread. First of all Leeds haven''t taken their foot of the gas! We played with 4 reserve defenders against easily the best attacking team in this division (they''re shite defensively but thats another matter) couple that with the fact that we didn''t play particularly well, yet we still got a point! We don''t play a single team in the top half of the table (except the rearranged Swindon game) between now and end of January and I fully expect us to be a long way ahead come that point. For the record I think you''re nailed on for 2nd if you keep up the way you''re playing but everyone says Leeds can''t keep their form up, yet you''re the form team!! We have a squad that dwarfs the rest of this division in terms of numbers and quality so injuries and suspensions will affect us little. Oh and to the poster talking about bidding for Beckford... why would he be unsettled by a bid from a lower ranked team when he could be on the verge of his 1st professional honour with Leeds United and with all due respect (i don''t wanna cause a big row on what seems to be a decent forum) why would any young, up and coming player leave Leeds United for Norwich City??
  22. Note: How the hell do you do the quote thing on this site. I obviously cant do it!! ^^^^
  23. [quote user="PBTC"][quote user="EYEBALL119"]Don''t expect many away fans either[/quote]They only have block F (like Tranmere) so will be limited to about 350 absolute tops.[/quote] should Leeds expect such hospitality or are we allowed more?
