Hi playmates, Good reading over the last few days, and yes, I am very much still here, but definitely a super lurker on the digest these days. Someone mentioned BDTR - a subject not to be dwelled on too much I think. A well intentioned, but ultimately unsuccessful business venture. Just thank

Kev, This is the part of our team that I just can't fathom. The defending at times is absolutely shambolic. Okay, we have well documented deficiencies in the full back positions (although Struik works his gonads off trying to fill in at left back), but we have two international

Sorry to contradict Graham, but it was 7s 6d to get in the kop pre decimalisation and then went up to 40p. Still robbing us though d-CUR. And while I'm here - I know Alioski isn't a left back (and we need a proper one), but leave the lad alone. He works his nads off for our team

Truly, truly awful. None of them seemed to give a flying f**k, and the half time substitutions were a joke surely. None of our managers since Grayson have shown an ounce of respect for the FA Cup, and IMO that is an absolute disgrace. Back to lurkdom Rogerre On 11 Jan 2021

[LU] 64/65 & 90/91

Our early games record after going up is quite good I believe. 64/65 - 3 straight wins including a 4-2 Home defeat of the then champions Liverpool!! 90/91 - 2 wins and a draw including opening day win at Everton. Don't despair before a ball is kicked folks. Kev - we won't be

What a wonderful account from DRB, of the MOALM weekend - the boy could certainly tell a tale. Still to this day, one of the best weekends of my life, spoiled only by a game of football, where our beloved team was well and truly mullered - many thanks for the tactical genius on that day Sgt

Re: [LU] Watching the Same Game?

I was obviously watching the same game as the TV commentators, because I, just like them, thought Phillips was MOTM (albeit against limited opposition) by a country mile. Rogerre ___ Leedslist mailing list Info and options:

Rich W - glass always half empty, if not bordering on completely empty from time to time. Rich N - glass always full, never mind half full. Makes for interesting reading, but surely reality is somewhere between the two viewpoints? Cheers - Rogerre

Mr Pilling, may I salute you for your synopsis of the Villa v WBA game, but you missed an undeniably moment of sporting behaviour when Smith (who I get to dislike more as each week passes) tried to get Gayle sent off in the first half! Ref was truly awful - how the fuck was Gayle

Lest we forget playmates, but our beloved club (team) have lost their last 7 cup finals, if we include the play-off defeats to Charlton, Watford and Doncaster. Add in Sunderland, AC Milan (robbed), Bayern (equally robbed), and Villa we have witnessed an incredibly unlucky 7. Eighth

Back in my boyhood and youth the FA Cup final was the biggest game of the season for any player to play in - only one team played in the European cup, so for the rest of the teams it was the biggest cup competition in Christendom. A certain Mr Stiles who won a world cup and a

Out of lurkdom for five minutes to show my age and frustration. I'm with Simon M 100% and Rich with regard to the lack of a plan B. We need to sign a new a new keeper NOW. This young man (he's not a young kid so let's stop making excuses for him) is going to cost us promotion. A
