oh my god.
If this is what the leicester muppets are like in the championship with a bit of foreign backing behind them, they are in for a world of pain when the wheels fall off. remember pompey. I'm Leeds and proud and no.. before you say it i'm not jealous of your cash.
Don't forget we've been there.
I've never been happier, 'cos where we are now is Stable.
And to be fair you cannot progress 'till u are stable.

Learn from this Leicester, I think( with respect as a TRUE fan of football) that u will have a really good chance of promotion.

But if u don't go up next year will be HELL for u, your backers will run and your players too.

So i repeat, big hopes for u and respect , don't let idiot's like that 'toodles' and simular fools represent u.

all the best.. i mean that.

Well said, glad it's not just me who thinks that.

Oh dear, get over yourself fella, the bloke who writes 'toodles' is loving winding you up and do you honestly think that it's just one person doing it now they know that it's annoying you? What about all this 'fox hunting' BS? Time you ladies stopped being so bitter, accepted that this section is BANTER and moved on. You don't scare anyone when you say you'll come fox hunting, nobody is impressed, we know you're probably some gonky 17yr old sitting in his bedroom acting like the big i am (que the "no i'm not, i'm dead hard me" bit)

Grow up and get yourself a life muppet. In the meantime

TOODLES

And do you honestly think that just one person is winding you up on here? Thats how child-like you are.

Any ideas who the unnamed midfield trialist is who played the first half for Leeds United tonight?

Another triallist - Jlloyd Samuel wouldnt be a bad signing - I hope we bring Michael Johnson in on loan from Man City as well (another player eager to prove himself with a touch of class).

Well said , i've always admired mj and think he would like to come to us and be good.

19 Jul 2011 19:49:49
The leeds trailist is defitnley Eremenko , No doubt about it hope we get him would be a class signing , along with samuel to solid up the left back spot , even though he was not very good at cardiff , he used to be a top player and would be happy with him , also osbourne on a free might be a good addition to be a back up for brown Leeds looking lively now , lets push on and go for top 2

M.O.T

Robbie
LUFC

Osbourne who signed for Aberdeen for 2 years?Yes he is a option.Also Erememko wants to stay in Glasgow.And said so at the end of last year.So I would not see him going to the championship.Even if he leaves Scotland, the guy could be fixed up in Turkey on more cash than Leeds or any other championship team would throw at him.Honestly what is it with Leeds fans?They slag of the SPL.But its clear that they do not follow it.If they did they would know Aberdeen and Brown signed that guy.We get the message, you do not rate the SPL.But many Scots do not rate the championship.And we get it beamed into our homes free each week.And the SPL is higher standard.Even teams like ICT took points of Auld Firm last year.

Aberdeen sign Isaac Osbourne from Coventry. This is Isiah Osbourne, the ex Aston Villa guy. I'm not a Leeds fan but, Get your facts right

Yes the guy who the Leeds fan thought would be a option.My facts are spot on, this is why I sent the original post.Also it was sarcasm, in the style of that person Maximus.I see he has not been on today.He was giving it all that for weeks about beating Rangers.Rangers beat them 2 0.I am not boasting, you mean his teams a joke.And lost there best players.But he should not give it out, if he cant take it back.MAXIMOUSE MOVEMENT OF JA PEOPLE.

19 Jul 2011 18:57:19
just seen maximus coming out of craven cottage. Oh i thought it was but its just martin jol

No it was the Michael Jackson statue.

Are you sure you've 'not' heard he's coming out? That would be mor obvious

Maximus has been cottaging?Who does he think he is Oscar Wylde?There is only one Wild today to take notice of and that is Gregg Wild?Did he play against Blackpool for Rangers?

Well again stick and stones , maximus this maximus that why dont you post your teams and names so i know who to reply to personally , rangers played well first half , and blackpool did well second half , new lads did well brett ormerod ? time to call it a day whom was that little lad from rangers ? every time he got the ball just run at the blackpool defence , he looked good , it wasnt james beattie was it get rid of him no the lad was good any way good luck rangers in your still tin pot league two horse race

How pathetic is skys apology to john terry over his comments about modric.
Surely this is tapping up, modric is a spurs player and is playing right now in s.a. Modric aint for sale, end of, and if he was little team chelsea are the last team levy will sell to.
Who gives a f@ck what terry has to say anyway the blokes a total muppet.
Boo hoo little chelsea no modric boo hoo.

Spurs guvnor

Spurs are now a selling club and chelsea are now bigger then spurs.

19 Jul 2011 18:15:34
qpr r having a look at webber gabbidon and 3 other trialists while on there south west tour, have also heard that they have enquired about bellamy.

19 Jul 2011 18:09:10
George Boyd has been spotted at Staplewood (Southampton training ground) getting to know the players that he will be soon linking up with after signing from Peterborough, Joseph Mills looks set to sign PNE after playing many friendlies there, Adkins also launched an ambitious loan offer for Danny Welbeck but that was knocked back, the other of the "two signings" Adkins was quoted to have brought in by Saturday has had no leaks yet but is rumoured to be a striker to accompany Lambert.

19 Jul 2011 17:55:09
Before any Southampton fan calls the clown who posted the young saint kid who had a offer of 6 million by Arsenal rejected why post such unbelieveable crap Brighton manager will decide next week on who the additional targets are but it will not be the boy from Southampton

I'm sorry to say, I think you'll find it will. He's declared an interest in being involved in Brighton's future.

19 Jul 2011 17:42:20
Conor Devlin will feature for Hull City in a friendly over the next week or two but is also holding talks with Grimsby Town in the Blue Square Premier. A scout of Grimsby watched Devlin in action for Northern Ireland under 21's last winter and the two managers are keen to bring in the former Manchester United stopper.

19 Jul 2011 17:50:57
Bournemouth in's
treacy (Charlton) 1m
lallana (Southampton) 2m
Gradel (leeds) 2m
-----------------------------------------------------
wow so may flaws in this rumour. 1 - there is no treacy that plays for charlton, i think you may mean preston. 2 - lallana is worth far more than 2 million. 3 - we would never sell him anyway. 4 - he recently commited to a 4 year contract and would definitely not leave to an average team a league below him who are most likely going to be the next swindon. 5 - gradel is worth more than 2 million. 6 - why would he want to go to bournemouth, 7 - how would bournemouth be able to afford any of these players, the club and eddie mitchell are broke.

-----------------------------------------------------

I'm a Bournemouth fan and even I know that we would never sign these players. But, in all truth, we don't want them

19 Jul 2011 17:47:44
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain will finally seal his move away from Southampton BUT not to move to a top flight side. Reading have made an offer for the youngster and will use the money, if nobody comes in beforehand, when Shane Long moves on. Long will go for around £7 million but they also have £5 million from Matt Mills to spend.
-----------------------------------------------------
no no no no no. that will not happen. first, a championship club will not spend that much money on one player. 2 the chairman of southampton seems unwilling to sell to any premier league clubs, so will definitely not sell to a rival in the same league. 3. chamberlain has more loyalty to the club than to leave to another championship club. he is settled in the area and has friends in the squad, so would only be tempted by a move from a higher up prem team. in conclusion reading have no chance in signing him.

19 Jul 2011 17:38:25
Owen Hargreaves missing.

Former Manchester United midfielder Owen Hargreaves has vanished. He was last seen wearing a bobble hat, a red and white striped jumper and thick set glasses.

Please check out-houses and garden sheds as well as every football club in the country as reports have been coming in all day that he's been everywhere.

I see the local hospital has had a clear out.

19 Jul 2011 17:17:57
Danny Gabbidon is currently thinking over an offer from Millwall. Gabbidon is keen to play in the Premier League but if QPR doesn't work out and no other Premier League clubs come in, Kenny Jackett is keen to tie down the Wales international.

Tie him down? Isnt that illegal?

19 Jul 2011 17:20:25
Adam Barton is set to hand in a transfer reuqest at Preston in order to engineer a move to French side Caen.

19 Jul 2011 16:56:47
norwich are still trying 2 do a deal with arsenal for lansbury. And coventry for turner. Ipswich are still dreaming of buying very best the championship has 2 offer. after lots of knock backs town Will now turn to players of same standard as dury who they signed from luton in jan. boost there below av squad. All true

19 Jul 2011 16:47:45
Can't wait til nov6th, Leicester v leeds.
Never been into fox hunting but on that day i'll make an exception

You're probably the funniest man ever, seriously, absolutely hilarious, i bet your mum is really proud of her funny son.

Leicester tw#t, soon be down to earth.

No you're mama's the funniest, the tricks she can do with a ping pong ball, ther again guess Svens seen it all before. ha ha muppet. x

Christ they're easily entertained in Leicester.
Actually... of course they are, I've seen them play.

Leicester tool.
Now i'm into blood sports.

To be fair people from leicester are funnier, that have to look on the bright side.

19 Jul 2011 16:36:27

Swansea Jacks
Camp, Federici, or Sorensen in The lure of premiership football will help, we want a keeper before we go to Autria.... which is on the weekend. A fee has been agreed with Routledge, tho he does need to be realistic with his wage demands, we PLAY football and we will shock people next season by finishing 10-15th Eidur Gudjohnsen will be coming too Rumours of Heskey are pants, he could go back to Leicester Jason Scotland could return but only on a free, but can he cut the mustard in the premiership...? Mancheda could be an interseting shout, either on loan or maybe on the cheap...?

Who cares?

I reckon Gudjohnsen might care a bit cos he's only gone and signed for AEK Athens this afternoon () don't tell me that Swansea forgot to tell him that he had signed for them? He'll be gutted, lots of sunshine or... Swansea, hmm.

19 Jul 2011 15:26:54
On paper, the Championship is a given don't you think? there are 4 clear leaders in the race for automatic promotion, these being.. Leicester, West Ham, Birmingham, Reading, of course 2/4 will end in the play offs. But who is to make a dash for the final 2 places? Leed's seem to be selling a few of their best players, I think Burnley overachieved last season. as a Saints fan I would like to see us and Brighton up there, but it probably wont happen.
And relegation? My moneys on Doncaster, Coventry and Watford, but I could be proved wrong. I hope I am, especially by Watford...

The Championship is not played 'on paper'. We'll let you get used to it for a year, admit you never expected X to get promoted or Y to get relegated, and then let you have another go this time next year.

Haha good on paper, crap on grass.

Leeds have sold no one they did not want to

Kasper Schmeichal left Leeds... (spelling?)
Bradley johnson left. possibly Leeds most underrated player, only a matter of time til Gradel, Snodgrass and Howson go.

Leeds havnt bought anyone either. Misers.

Hmmmm and still one of the bookies bests Ha ha .. jog on you haters and stick supporting your own team toooooooooooools ha ha

So far today, Owen Hargreaves has been seen in Brighton, Newcastle, West London, West Bromwich and Sunderland. No wonder the poor bloke us always injured with all this travelling.

-------------------------------------------------------

I know yeah It is strange that he's been seen in all these places when he's actually in America and has been since his contract ended

The only club Hargreaves will be having talks with this week or next is West Brom who are out in the US at a training camp.

19 Jul 2011 14:17:42
Marvin Sordell is not signing for Southampton, Ipswich, Cardiff or Brighton. Premier league teams were looking at him last season so why would he sign for a Championship club? Three of the above teams will probably finish below Watford.

19 Jul 2011 13:23:53
Right im an Everton fan and i think its funny that Liverpool are buying all these players for alot more than they are worth and now there all getting big heads and thinking their going to be a force next season well there not, not until they get new defenders its alright buying all these midfielders and attackers but there defence is terrible RB.Kelly, CB.Skrtl, CB.Carragher, LB.Johnson... Carragher is past it now yes hes a good leader but hes slow and wont be able to handle strikers with the pace of Torres and Rooney, so until Liverpool buy defenders they will not be good they have already conceded 6 goals in 2 pre season games with there full defence out apart from johnson they need to buy a CB and LB because johnson cant defend

Being in the position of say paying £20m for a proven premiership and england winger is certainly easier to swallow than to be in a position of being outspent by stoke city and even leicester city because the owner is to full of his own self importance to sell for the good of the club.

Evertonians would be going wild with delight if they were buying the likes of stewart downing, charlie adam, luis suarez etc......who can they hope for? A good free transfer, sorry jay bothroyd turned everton down for Qpr

Yes they would be going mad, they would expect better than Diver Suarez, Charlie Average Adam, Fatty Carroll, and One Season wonder Downing.

Suarez is world class Are u mad? Beckford or Suarez? hmmm. Charlie adams passing is gonna give liverpool another dimention, even slur alex said his set pieces alone are worth 10m A year ago every evertonian wanted andy carroll, if andy wants it enough he could be 20+ goals a season striker, Carroll or Saha? hmmm. As for Downing since aug 2004 only Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard, Cesc Fabregas and Ryan Giggs have set up more premiership goals up than Downing This Liverpool team now has balance and goals.

Who scored the most last season between Suarez and Beckford in the Premiership?? i think it was Beckford wasn't it????? how many did that goofy get? was it about 3?

Beckford only scored 8 in 31 games. suarez scored 4 in 13 games so he has a better record

Haha hmmmm lets see beckford had a full season, Su rez come in jan and took the prem by storm.wot a stupid remark, as allways more worried about liverpoo.id be more worried bout your own team lad

Only an evertonian would come out with stupid comments like that, thick as f k, hope you enjoy next season with your new players o wait you aint got no one yet lol

19 Jul 2011 12:29:32
All the lads should've seen us coming,
Everyone was blue and white,
Everyone was running,
All the lads and lasses,
All with smiling faces,
Going down Old Shoreham Road,
To see the Brighton Aces...

Oh god, pleeease. Try and grow up before the season starts.

GOOD OLD SUSSEX BY THE SEA

19 Jul 2011 12:15:34
I'm a Leeds fan and I think its clear we need to get one or two things straight about the club ownership.

On this forum, I constantly read the words of my fellow Leeds fans talking about player sales/not buying players/refusing to pay high wages as "good business".

This is absolute nonsense. We are not a business rewarded by the amount of profit we make. We are a football club, whose primary objective should be to win whatever competition we're in. Furthermore, the quickest way for the club to make a few bob is by getting promoted. £40m the income if we do.

And what do our fans mean when they say good business? The profits the club makes go straight into Mr Bates's pockets, not back to the fans who bankroll the club. To me, giving Leeds any money is terrible business from a personal point of view as I don't see any investment in the team. My money is being spent on a useless hotel that no-one will stay in, a restaurant that is empty 7 nights a week, and the publication of Mr Bates's hate-filled programme notes. The bottom line is we have one of the highest incomes in the Championship, and we don't spend anything on the team.

Think about it, Leeds fans. What good to the club is a hotel on the stadium. We don't even own the stadium Elland Road is most likely owned by Mr Bates, who through his complex, inpenetrable web of companies, is using my and your money to build a pointless hotel on the side of our historic stadium

Look at the example of the Liverpool fans, who had the good sense to realise when needed saving from the wrong hands. Mr Bates does not care about Leeds as a football club. His only loyalty lays with himself, and the money he can, and is, fleecing out of the Leeds United fans.

MOT. Lets wake up. Bates out.

Mr Bates has saved Leeds from financial ruin. They would be in the Blue Square Northern Conference but or Ken.

Wayne Routledge almost signed a contract with Leicester City today, though due to his Twitter post, it is now clear that following the renewed offer from Nottingham Forest, he is considering his options.

Still, the East Midlands best current club with the best history beats Leicester by a long shot. And I know there are better options available to him (Probably) but it allows me to have the opportunity at a dig at Leicester, who face it, have signed anyone who's walked into IKEA, Giltbrook over the last four weeks.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

We've defo signed everyone who walks into okra, so u definitely wouldn't want to have mills, schmeical or danns in you piss pot forest side It's not an excuse for a dig but just a jealous scum bag forest fan who knows there best years are behind them and they will be facing at least another year in the championship Unlucky

Rodz

Every team currently in the Championship is facing 'at least another year' in it, you simpleton. Unless you are another Leicester fan who thinks you are promoted already..?

Well said.

19 Jul 2011 10:19:26
" leeds and forest have huge problems" news to me? can you explain what these ' huge ' problems are cos im fascinated to find them out....lets see...leeds got promoted one season ago, we finished 7th in the championship last season (when people like you said we would be relegated), weve got the best young english manager in the world, we have some of the best young players outside of the prem (evidence shown by all the continuos rumours about them), we were one of only four teams in the top two divisions to post a profit last season, we average 27 thousand for home games (bigger than any other team in the championship), and you are obsessed by us cos you have to fill yer sad little life by writing rubbish about us.

Leeds have got "big problems" because they impersonate a football club. They are in fact a Rugby Club.

Leeds is a rugby city like Hull.

Leeds is up North, and everyone knows it's grim up north. Forest are just crap.

So is leicester

Depends on if you're a soft southern ponce really, if you live in the Midlands though, Leicester is kind of sideways-ish.

Nah mate, leicesters south and soft.
They've proved that with their pre season banter. muppets

19 Jul 2011 10:02:16
owen hargreaves in the metro centre. could he be going to newcastle.

Doubt it. Newcastle are known as a selling club.

He has been see in Brighton. Mate of mine spotted him at Brighton station.

No one has seen Owen Hargreaves today. Discuss...

He's been seen buying a home in Sussex. It would strongly suggest he's joined Albion. But BRIGHTON AND HOVE ALBION.

19 Jul 2011 09:27:21
Stop with this QPR takeover rubbish I/we have had enough of people this rumour.

19 Jul 2011 04:25:47
I just read a recent survey that stated 'One in every 3 derby fans is just as thick as the other two'

for some reason I believe it

Yeah I believe that..

Why? are you one?

I dont get it ??????

This dosent actually make any sense. Weird comment whoever you are.

So the main post isnt weird then? Isnt it funny if you go fishing for a thicko, you usually catch one.

I did not write the comment, but the joke therein makes sense to me. Then again, I'm not thick...

Arsenal transfer news:
After the signings of Carl Jenkinson, Gervinho and Joel Campbell, Arsene Wenger believes he needs a goalkeeper, centre-half, left-back, right-winger and a holding midfielder. The Gunners are eyeing a double raid on Lyon duo Hugo Lloris and Michel Bastos, a keeper and left-back respectively. Bolton and England defender Gary Cahill is closing in on a move after Arsenal have said to have offered £15m plus Carlos Vela and Henri Lansbury both on loan. Wenger could be set for a shock swoop on North London rivals Tottenham with a £22.8m plus Nicklas Bendtner bid. And finally to solve their holding midfield problem, West Ham's Scott Parker is a posibility, with the Hammers thought to be wanting £8m for the England midfielder.

The Gunners will put calamity keeper Manuel Almunia (£1m), Sebastien Squillaci (£2.5m), Armand Traore (£3m), Abou Diaby (£8m) and Nicklas Bendtner (£7m) up for sale.

Vito Mannone, Carl Jenkinson, Henri Lansbury, Craig Eastmond, Emmanuel Frimpong and Joel Campbell will be all loaned out to various clubs.

A £22.8m bid + Bendtner for who? Looks like you lot are trying to bid £22.8m for the whole club If you put a post on here at least try to get all the details down. Fool.
