Ultimately the Labour Together experiment is over. The decision to compete with Reform by becoming them has sent Labour into a potential death spiral. That's on Starmer. If the locals are a disaster, he'll have to go. No one outside Westminster really cares about this vetting issue

I mean at ยฃ1.5m I'd take him as a Byram replacement LB back up
The Brudenell will be a much better option
The key is the two games at home against the two teams nobody is suggesting even have a chance. We win both of those and the games v Spurs and West Ham will largely be irrelevant I'd imagine. That starts this Saturday against wolves
Forest and spurs set light to themselves in spectacular fashion and Palace sold their best players again and again. Not sure we're comparable
It's a tough one. I care more about fan experience than the club's owners so away days in Europe would be phenomenal. Three additions and this squad would be fine for europe especially if some of the u21's can get minutes
That would depend on landing a genuine "game changer" player. Something we currently lack. If we do and get 6th, we'd then likely sell that player for a massive premium
The challenge will be in part recruitment. I expect us to clear a few out but we need to build with another 3/4 first team ready players and continue to rotate the squad. If Farke can do this an integrate them without losing cohesion and quality then we'll be able to target mid table and build again
The important thing is that he's learning. I fear his caution at times but he's definitely got a squad who seem united. Can he attract and handle the next level of players required. At least we'll hopefully get chance to find out
and yet we choose Longstaff in midfield rather than Tanaka who was only brought on in th 82 minute. There was a caution to farke in that game that has been his achilles heel at times
Overall, if we stay up there's plenty to be proud of and plenty to learn from for next season. You have to hope that the core of players we want to stay will and we'll add some more quality to the squad and perhaps even the first XI. Goal next season has to be mid table comfort and safety by March
But toothless against a side that may struggle to get 25 points this season. Not acceptable really
I'd arguably add Burnley away but let's not split hairs. When we play like last night's first half we are absolutely at a level for the premier league and completely merit our place
The goal has to be to make sure we are safe and then push on next year. We've proved we can compete and hopefully Farke has learned that bravery in place of caution can serve him well. Obviously, if we can somehow grab a cup win and make this season one for the history books that's even better
We have three winnable home games and at least a couple (if not all three) winnable if not drawable away games. Only Leeds could blow it from here. We would only have ourselves to blame but equally we could end up a place or two higher
Funny how one result can change how we feel. In both directions. We've given ourselves every chance of staying up now. Big performance Saturday and we'll start to genuinely believe
Definitely at 5/6 points clear going into the next two home games we're confident
Murphy's Law is so hard baked into our psyche as Leeds fans that we struggle to feel at peace. Each week will ease or exacerbate that sense of dread. A better March and we'd be calm as a mill pond right now
I'm confident that we have both enough in the squad & importantly the opportunities in our fixtures to secure a further 7 points. If that's not enough then so be it. If we win 2 of our home games & importantly draw against either Spurs or West Ham & I'm sure we finish above at least one of them
And another
Should have directed him to The Viaduct in Leeds and said "of course"
Imagine his surprise when neither of them were anything like the Hamptons in the US ๐
We have the luxury of our outcome being in our own hands. If we don't beat Wolves and Burnley at home as secure at least a point from the other games then sadly we deserve to go down. I still believe we'll be fine
๐ just consider my abstinence as an opportunity forward you to have more ๐
I'm a purist on custard creams I'm afraid. It just would feel wrong. It's like why mess with perfection just cause some people might like it? ๐
It's as much of a war crime as Florence and the Machine destroying You got the Love of you ask me ๐
Saw them in Paris in Feb. They're "interesting"
Highlight of that festival for me was catching a drum stick from The Fatima Mansions
Mud ball fights with mudhoney on that utterly post apocalyptic final day mudbath of a site were a highlight. Wheelchair antics and final UK performance aside Nirvana were a bit shit live generally ๐
Mudhoney were better at Reading that day obviously ๐
