26 away games in a season is impressive

They were all away games

Down_Rover

I would settle for those results 42 points out of 26 away games. The form of Champions

Payment terms of a transfer fee doesn't have any impact on the calculation of profit/loss for FFP.

Exactly.

Or a club could buy a whole team on instalments and go bust owing fortunes to other clubs. prevention of this is one of the prime objectives of FFP

Can’t believe the pessimism of some of our fans, automatic promotion is the only target we should have. Yes, we’re a team in transition but we’ve removed a large number of ageing players and replaced them with young, keen lads who will be desperate to do well. Couple that with a manager with the re...

Down_Rover

Clearly it will take time for our squad to gel together but the potential is there. I expect a slowish start but steady improvement as the season progresses. Whether or not this means a promotion push or not who knows but teams last year came from well behind to fill in the play off places. What is ...

Unlike football the result isn’t everything

My wife, daughter, son and I had a ball. Bumped into a claret or two and, after beating Yorkshire, nothing else mattered

Maybe the best bit was hearing how 20,000+people hate Leeds s*um

Exactly, I know some that are waiting for the semi before they book their hotels or just get the train back, I can imagine that once the beer starts flowing they will just book a hotel

Anyone that has not booked a hotel Saturday night will find it nearly impossible to find one

What formation do you think VK plays at chess? And how much should he pay for a queen?

Down_Rover

No tickets but I’ll be watching on tv and I think this is the first finals day I’ll have seen. Usually clashes with football. Got talked into it by my son and daughter on way back from cricket on Friday. Like you football comes first so this was a once in a lifetime thing... at a huge cost. At leas...

Managed to get 4 tickets for finals day so Birmingham here we come

The window may have 7 weeks to run, but our 1st game is only 18 days away, so ideally we'd have a new proven forward in by then. It's been a decent window so far, but no better than simply replacing lots of the quality which we've lost, and many of our signings are relatively unproven at this level...

Heard on good authority that fee has been agreed for O’Hare. Just personal terms to sort

Leeds 1 Burnley 2 in about 2004. We had at least 4 full backs playing and Robbie Blake as a lone striker. Lee Roche and Richard Duffy scored, almost never heard of again

Good night out in Leeds City centre afterwards

Down_Rover

There are only three candidates in the Premier League. Anthony Gordon, Harry Kane and Manchester City

Down_Rover

I can't get too excited about most of these proposed signings. To me anyway they are mostly unknowns, mostly no experience in first teams or The Championship, and don't look like players that can give us the capabilities to return to The Premier League at the first attempt. Couple that with the los...

First flush it seems similar to what they did with Roy Evans… they didn’t see him as up to it as a top footballer, but saw the potential for a top coach. Sadly for Roy by the time he took the hot-seat himself Liverpool as a club was on the weign.

never met a weign. How many legs does one have?

I think Kompany is a good choice. Unlike Buchan and Waddle he has had a manager's post and performed ok. he has far more potential than the likes of Wilder, many of whom are simply just short of the mark. Kompany, if he has learned anything at Anderlecht, has the potential to be very good. Wilder an...

The whole interim approach was strange with so much of the season left and so much to play for when OGS was sacked Rangnick was obviously never in a position to exert authority over the big name players who appeared to have far too much influence Just feels like they have stored up even more proble...

Depends what the cruciate injury is doesn’t it. Do we know what the injury was?

I am no medical expert but it was described as a tear. To my mind that is not as bad as a rupture so maybe recovery and retraining is less than usual. Maybe back for Christmas?

Who’s Kompany?

Never heard of him. Terrible spelling mistake

Pieters came in at Arsenal and played the next seven games with only Liverpool beating us. I like Taylor but I think he’s had an awful season. I totally agree with you, but if Taylor, as a younger model, is the way forward then Pieters just prevents a development player moving up the ladder. Maybe ...

Down_Rover

We wont know how good he is until he plays for a better team. I guess at 197 minutes per goal he will be as good or better than Harry Kane this season, and H plays for a team who's only reason to exist is to put chances on a plate for England's best player

Down_Rover

Hopefully Collins has kept under the radar . With Roberts and Taylor we could have an excellent defence . Pieters / Lowton as back up too ( maybe ) . I am a great fan of Pieters but would prefer to take a chance on youngsters as back up. One positive about relegation is that there is hopefully less...

Far outweigh the negatives (on the pitch)

We don’t have to put up with Paul Tierney or Kevin Friend

or Pawson and Moss

I think there will be many twists and turns and nervous moments

Best outcome would be a Barnes goal that keeps us up. Or has he done that already?

Never mind Henessey

I studied Will Norris in the warm up before the Watford game.

He was crossing the ball for Pope to catch. He is clearly two footed

Come shooting practice he showed tremendous outfield skills

Wasted as a keeper

I was certain that Pieters had played LCB for us in some games, hasn’t he?? Not sure he has Long remains our best option as a genuine centre half. I seem to remember Dyche saying that Taylor, in his first season with us, could become a centre half. if there is no appetite to play Long then Taylor a...

We have taken points of everyone we have played twice bar Citeh and Liverpool. We also beat Spurs

So we can expect points v Villa and Newcastle

I agree 4 may just be enough given our goal difference v Leeds

It is exactly what you would expect of an organisation like MSD (or even a bank) they have to protect themselves - it seems perfectly commensurate with projected income levels - even down to having a second payment if we do not bounce back up at first attempt - it means we do not put all our eggs i...

The BBC ratings are truly unfit for purpose. I think people go on there and just take the p@ss. Of course they are thats why I started the topic.

It is very hard to draw conclusions about accounts that are over 12 months in the past. Another season has gone by and it is reasonable to assume the Balance Sheet has improved since then. This is because the P&L Account is likely to be better, attendances at the ground and a further years trading. ...

Recent form counts for little. All that matters is what happens next.

For instance, if the OP calculation had been performed 5 games ago it would be very different

That all said we have momentum, can we keep it going for a couple more games

too many at the top of the betting lists are 'nearly done it managers'. That includes Chris Wilder.
