We are not bottling it this season.
Pretend for a moment that you aren't a Leeds fan.
Who would you think it going to beat us in an abbreviated 9 game season after a 2 month layoff? Even without a striker who is going to beat us? If KJA is 1/2 as good as he can be we will pull away. we also don't have Kiko the clown in goal to give away 4 goals in a critical game.
I wouldn't bet against us given the above.
Wished my stomach still looked that.![]()
Anyone can have a flat tummy ..............
My Dad used to take my three brothers & I regularly to the Irish boxers gym in Leeds and we were always taught the importance of the 'core muscles' from young.
(The core muscles have two main functions - to spare the spine from excessive load and to transfer force from the lower body to the upper body and vice versa. Having a strong, stable core helped us to prevent injuries and allowed us to perform at our best)
Bielsa's training methods include a lot of 'core muscle' work .......... so it's worth finding the time to do those ab-crunches whatever age.As I got nearer 40 I spent a lot of time in Henry Whartons boxing gym when I lived in York targeting my ab's which helped my road cycling which is another concept that Bielsa uses with Leeds players who he regularly puts 'em on bikes around rural TA ........... so many people of all ages today simply do not stand up straight & have limited flexibility because they don't exercise their tummies - and come Cardiff there will be a few on 'ere who'll wish they could tighten certain lower 'core muscles' no doubt ...........

I'm hearing from a variety of sources that recent 'talks' with our co- owners (the 49 ers)who stumped up £11 million to bolster Rad's decreasing cash flow access at a time when he was reduced to using coins sourced from under his sofas are progressing positively.Yep,they did buy in with the option to increase their holding and now via talks have been flexing their muscle it appears.
Surely from their point of view in owning a PL club there cannot be many better investment opportunities in world sport outside the NFL that their already into.
Glancing at their recent activity https://www.cbinsights.com/investor/49ers-enterprises it'll be odds on that the Leeds ownership option is being in no doubt contested behind the 'lockdown' scenes with QSI not presently leading the race...............
Mmm .... my problem is where would this leave Bielsa presently alone in Wetherby ?
A summer of 'discontent' ownership wise,Management wise and last but not least player in's & out's wise - remember this is Leeds United where Up's go in tandem with Downs regarding all who opt to follow the mighty Leeds United merry go round .........
Not a negative post for all fans but a honest warning that our clubs future traffic light is on flashing orange,IMO.

As if we haven't got enough to worry about with the season resuming in 17 days time, oh and that other little thing that's still hanging around.....oh yeah, covid.
Plenty still to look forward too surely NW .............. trips to Great Yarmouth beach ?
Thought you'd be 'chomping at the bit' NW at the news your local Primark will be reopening and that your local councils splashing out thousands on a feasibility study into turning the old Colmans site into something special for you Norfolk Broads folks - keep positive.
If they build a lake I'll come over and teach 'yer how to kite surf in your new Primark budgie smuggler trunks so you'll be ready to surf the Yarmouth summer waves ... before settling down watching us in the PL.
MOT & Stay SAFE !

That certainly doesn't look like Yarmouth beach or Cromer Mrs o, been furloughed since end of march so my primary budgie smugglers might be a little too comfy at the moment, can't wait for the 20th really and get the old butterflies going again as we pass my local side like ships in the night.
