Leeds United - v - Millwall ***Matchday Thread***

[WTF11]

We were 17 points behind Leicester at the start of 2024.

[cherrypie7]

Some of the ref's decisions or non-decisions, were somewhat peculiar.

[Rev72]

Another massive 3 pts but Jesus wept that referee was abysmal.

[claw84]

From a Lions fan, yes, you deserved the win but bear in mind your whole team cost a fortune, mega millions so do not get too carried away. Where as we have a limited budget but good luck in the Prem with all the divas on £350k a week some of them, are ridiculous, and enjoy the Var.Personally i like the Championship.

[hopelesslyoptimistic]

Cheers Claw. Fully appreciate how the PL money creates imbalance albeit Farke inherited a changing squad with lots of wantaways - about 8 or 9 players left - way more than Saints and Southampton.

Our better players have largely come though the u21 set up even if we signed them to progress or are just home grown.

Agree that the game is better for no VAR - flows much better.

"Mega millions", what have you been smoking?

We spent £150m on a bunch of players who AREN'T AT LEEDS ANY MORE!. Those we have at present are an eclectic mix of loanees, Academy grads, a couple of "veterans" and a VERY small number of newcomers for whom we paid a material sum. The 49ers have NOT shown just how deep their pockets might be, quite the reverse.

As for the game, the "performance" of some of your snowflakes beggars belief and that dirty, cheating cnut of a captain of yours should have been off before half time (and we were denied a stone-cold penalty by a blind referee).

Good luck avoiding the drop.

One of those rare occasions where we agree

Agree with above, Daniel farke take a bow, superb management.

Btw, just in case you weren't able, I thought I'd help out with the ""mega millions" of last years transfers.....those of note....

Piroe - 14m

Ampadu 8.1m

Gruev 6.5m

Kamara 5.8m

So about £35m

I'll grant you that's a bit more than the paltry £6.5m you spent (hardly "mega millions"), but then again, you need to invest to improve, and you need to improve, a lot.

[whitestomper45]

Our squad was valued about 265M compared to Wall 35M at start of season, that’s about price of Rutter ..bet our wages are far higher
