All I want Leeds to do is go win the fucker
Leeds, England
Joined January 2017
As a Leeds fan I've in the past absolutely ripped into this lad on the pitch. But I'll tell you something. I don't care what anyone says, this lad is the salt of the earth. Massive, massive respect for Grealish. Proper pro.

If it comes to light that Rutter has got the same get loan clause as the rest, it paints a good picture. The club's record signing has knuckled down and got on with it. Plays with a smile and commitment. Has the attitude we need. The player I want to succeed the most this season

My gut is telling me Everton was our Forest moment of despair when it was going all wrong. Sometimes you need a bleak moment so you pick your head up. And it's our job as supporters to drag them back by their boot strings. Hold the boss and the boys high, Marching on Together

As a fan base we suffer from short memories. I.E. when we wanted to sell Phillips, Screamed White would never do a job, Struijk wasn't good enough for the Championship, Bamford won't score goals, Klichs Leeds career was dead, Dallas shouldn't play in midfield. One man believed.

I don't like doing it but Ive blocked some people tonight because I'm not justifying why I support Leeds to anyone and I'm not justifying why I'm going to support the next manager. I will forever cherish Bielsa but I support Leeds, not one man. I will miss him but we move on.

Scenes on Sunday. Its the 91st minute. Leeds, 2-1 up, words just come through Everton have lost to Bournemouth. Attention turns to Leicester. It's now the 94th minute, Leeds still 2-1 up. Final whistle has gone at Leicester. It's finished 2-2. Elland Road roars. Spurs score.

I love my club. My club is my passion, my escape, my weekend, my lifestyle. I will always support @LUFC As our song says, Marching on Together. We celebrate together, We lose together, but when the chips are down its up to me to support the lads not abuse them. Side before self.

Only thing left is my hope and defiance. I don't care what the gloom of Leeds twitter says. I don't walk with the flock. I walk my own path. These lads haven't finished yet. I haven't finished yet believing. One more roll of the dice. Leeds has never been for the faint of heart

Think I will give twitter a break for a while for my own health because to be honest it's a depressing place. I support Leeds and support the lads no matter what. I'm fed up of reading the constant negative shite from the supposedly best fans in the world. Marching on Together.

Are we getting glimpses of a new badge 49ers may implement if we win promotion back to the Premier League or are we just seeing good use of the club's heritage to grow the brand overseas. Whatever it is I like it.

We are missing a marketing master stroke if we dont give Sinisterra the no11 shirt. He would then be LS11 Home or away.

Every one should read this instead of slagging off the new owners. Understand how FFP works and you'll then understand why 49ers are using the loan option instead of taking a loss in a transfer fee.

As it seems Leeds will not be investing in this transfer window my stubborn Yorkshireman stance will look at it this way. The three most expensive summer transfers of Grealish, Lukaku and Sancho have shown throwing money about doesn't always solve the issue. Trust in the method.

Big summer coming up for Leeds. Farke stays, you build on what we have achieved, not rip it down because Kev from Beeston has spat his dummy out because we finished 3rd and 90 points. Season of fine margins. We go again.

Leeds Utd has always been like a soap opera. We don't do easy, we do it the Leeds way. It might not be the progressive season we wanted but it's not over yet. There isn't anyone else I want in that dugout except Bielsa. So let's get behind him. He's here to fight for us. #alaw.

When we stay up I would be hoping Leeds cash in on Rodrigo and Llorente if we can. Cresswell deserves his break through season next year and we need better than Rodrigo in the Premier League.

Well, not the evening I had planned. Was going to watch the @LUFC game but instead someone decided to knock me off my motorbike because they didn't see me. Numerous Xrays later I'm home on crutches. At least we didn't lose. Bring on the next game.

So, Bogle.said he knew Leeds wanted to sign him weeks ago. Just goes to show, even though it's feels quiet. Leeds will have already made contact with their top targets and we will be none the wiser until the very last moments. Who's next 🤔.

Eddie Gray is one of my favourite things about our club. I love he still has an association with us. I like to think our association with Marcelo Bielsa will still carry on in some sort of form. He genuinely was more than a manager he was the reason the city and club reconnected.

4 games to go. If anything being a Leeds fan has taught me is to buckle up. Always said this club is a soap drama, its why Amazon rolled up in town. Looking forward to a Raphina wonder goal, another Joffy moment, goal scoring return for Bamford and the Yorkshire Pirlo celebrating.

Sometimes I wonder why I bother with Leeds twitter. The negativity is unreal from some Leeds fans. Picking faults at everything the club does. Doom and gloom. You'd think they would remember the last time we weren't realistic in the transfer market. We ended up in league 1.

When Burnley were relegated last season they lost their goalkeeper, middle of the defence, defensive midfield and front line. They turned out to be fine. Balls in the 49ers court. Big couple of weeks coming up.

In Newcastle for the day, spoken to a few. They are highly confident Newcastle are not merely turning up at Burnley but wanting to spank them to show they mean business next season. Haway the lads. Fog on the Tyne and all that 🤣🤣.

You can clearly tell MOTD is biased towards certain clubs. Didn't show either penalty shout or even the fact Leeds played 15 minutes with ten men due to another foul not shown on the edge of the box. But that's how I like it. Leeds play better when no one likes us.

Good luck in New adventures @lukeayling_8 .Not many come to the club and truly understand what the club is about but Luke did. The true essence behind the Bielsa era, the Promotion back to the big league and don't forget the Infamous Ayling Flop #Alaw

What everyone seems to forget very quickly is in our best Prem season in 20 plus years under Bielsa, that after 8 games we were on 10pts. Last season we were at 6pts. So After 8 games under JM we are on 9 pts and we are screaming to sack him?? Am I missing something??.

Willy knew the 49ers and Farke wanted him to stay. They have obviously been knocking bids back and saying no sale. Gnonto has forced the hand of the club to act. He knows he's just burnt his bridges with the fans. You don't refuse to play for Leeds. Hes as good as gone.

Let's forget about spending money in this window and save it to put towards his £66million get out clause in the summer. Imagine the scenes.

Regardless of what camp you sit in or however your cookie crumbles. One thing that is guaranteed for the next few weeks is Leeds become unpredictable again. Every team planned for Bielsa. Could be the difference between 3 PTS and zero. Whether you like it or not.

Played some exceptional football for Leeds. His commitment to the last kick of the season was second to none. I wish him all the best and look forward to watching him at the world cup. But I doubt he will ever feel this much passion at club level again. Good Luck Raphina #mot

Leicester has signed 4 players and lost 11. Southampton has signed 2 players and lost 8. Leeds have signed 2 players and lost 10. Not that different really is it🤣🤣 .So why are our own fans thinking Leicester and Southampton walk this league and we struggle?.

He had his critics last season and alot cried out for a natural LB but we have really missed Alioski in this Leeds side this season. Not only for his football but for his energy on and off the field.

Just remember fellow Leeds fans, it was always going to be a tough December regardless who was available. We will only get stronger as injuries come back. Teams that struggle in this league are ones who don't have an answer with full strength teams. That's not us. Keep the faith.

We need to remember sometimes as fans, that to some footballers it's all about their family and moments like this. So let's not be too quick to judge when transfers like Amiri hit the buffers when he's thinking family first, football second.

Leeds told it will take 18million package to get Hamer. Personal terms not an issue, already done. Sheffield Utd making moves for replacement. This one could have legs. Fills a massive hole and is the correct position to spend big on. This will move fast if it's going to happen.

Not sure why Farke is getting flack. No matter what style he plays, no matter what tactics he chooses, no matter who he plays or what subs he makes. If the ref is going to let the opposition break down our attacks with foul after foul without any bookings then what can he do.

Last season we played two poor games against Brighton, both games ended in defeat. This time around with a weaker side we managed to come away with a clean sheet and a point away from home. Take what you will from today buts that's four positives from a lackluster game.

At no point during this interview does it mention Leeds are skint and have problems with a transfer budget. No idea what some fans panic about.

If the Piroe price is £15 million I'd say pay the money. 41 goals in the last two seasons at Swansea. Would score more for Leeds. This would show the ambition and win the fans over in one swoop.

This lad had some very nice touches when he came on, yes he isn't perfect yet but he will be an absolute baller when he gets that fitness and sharpness up. He's been dropped in the deep end of a rudderless ship.

Right, going to stick my neck out with some predictions. The 49ers will pull out all the stops to keep Adams by giving him the Captain's armband and with other contractual incentives. They will also retain the services of Summerville, Gnonto and Sinisterra with incentives. 🤞🤣

The day Leeds got relegated from the prem we were literally put back as a club 20years. Now we are back at the top table we shouldn't expect anything else than to earn our way back up this league. It's not going to happen overnight but this league is better off for us being here.

Some stories about Drameh looking at staying at Leeds regardless of Luton interest. To be honest I totally agree. That Luton team will get hammered week in week out. It would not provide a good future for the lad. Come back to Elland Road and take up the RB slot.

I'm not buying this RB Salzburg won't sell Aaronson because they have reached their furthest UCL position ever. Rennes sold Raphina on the eve of their first ever UCL campaign. If the price is right the move will happen.

That finish from Struijk has been very underrated from our fan base. Joffy was brilliant but just look at the small section and angle of goal he had to put that in. It shaved the post.

126
This whole Gnonto situation hasn't been great. He has a lot of growing up to do. He needs to choose better council but hopefully he will learn. Time to be the fans that have made this club different. Remember, if we were all judged on our mistakes at 19 it would be a lonely life.
13
7
124
Maybe the 49ers plan isn't signing loads of new players but actually keeping the decent ones we already have. We might actually see Adams, Wober, Drameh, Summerville and Harrison at the club next season. That leaves Leeds maybe only looking at GK, LB, CB and maybe a CF.
23

119
Nowt wrong with being critical about a players performance, asking questions, wondering if they fit the Bielsa system and Leeds desire. But at the same time remember they are professional for a reason at the top of the game and more importantly human. Be a critic but not abusive.

I can't wait for Gnonto to go to Everton, watch them get slapped with FFP charges, docked points then see him flounder in a side sitting bottom of the Premier League all season. Oh the justice.

121
Not throwing him under the bus but when we needed fighters and the right attitude last season Gracia dropped Gnonto. Big Sam couldn't get him to play a tune. And now he's shown his hand by refusing to play. Maybe there's more to this lad than what we are seeing.

It's becoming apparent that Bielsa wasn't hard to buy for, it was more a case the players Orta was insisting on signing were the wrong attitude. Explains the fallout when Bielsa was sacked. Explains why last summer's signings have all failed. Bielsa had ethics and standards.

Leeds are historically dreadful in the cups, even Bielsa couldn't break this curse. If Piroe was available and not cup tied we are in the next round. Even Joseph might have nicked one. Oh well, back to refreshing Twitter tomorrow to see how advanced Glen Kamara is 😂🤣🤦.

Far too early to be calling for the head of Marsch. We need to grow some balls and stop panicking at what has so far been a disjointed stop start season and bad officiating. Let's see where we are when the WC starts. This group of players have had only 8 games together.

The sooner we accept Prem football has changed since the 90s. That this isn't the Wilko or O'Leary Leeds . The sooner we accept this team won't win many games until its been given time to build. We are the only surviving team from promoted clubs last term. Probably this term too.

In a few weeks when he's had a break, a bit of sun and gets back home. Sitting in his comfy chair, looking at his medals, he will still look at his Championship winners medal with more pride. Well done lad, but you'll always be Leeds.
