re: Leeds United 2023/24 Season-long thread: All aboard the HMS Piss tLeague

What a shitty day this was lads. I would be in a rage if I could force myself to care about what happened in Oxford.

My wife told me Saturday night that I used to get more upset when LSU lost like that, had to let her know I had already moved through all the stages of bummed out by 9AM thanks to Leeds getting their arse kicked.

She is still confused why I like a team I have no ties to, never visited, etc.

I had no good answer other than I’m a gluten for punishment, see LSU football in the 90’s when my fandom really started as a young fella.

I think I remember Phil or someone on a podcast mentioning not really knowing a lot or state of the table not being a big concern until around that time. But they did have the caveat of not wanting to be completely out of touch by that point either.

I remember this past year Sunderland was being written off then went on a run late in the season to make the playoffs.

So I guess it is kind of like baseball in that way, team could get hot last couple months of the year make playoffs and then who knows at that point.

Hopefully 6 points this week

Farke thinks QPR have a better squad than their league position suggests. "I expect they're a team who are difficult to play against. That's why they've conceded just one goal in their last three away games. What will be crucial is that we're effective in finishing positions."

Okay Daniel, please do not start Dan James after making these comments.

Some of these reporters and podcast guys piss me off with their sentimental bullshite. Before the game last week a lot of them said “well I don’t see how you bring Rodon back in for Cooper after the performance against Watford”, and “Dan James has 4 assists you can’t take him out”.

Well of course you can put Rodon ahead of Cooper, he was ahead of him before the bogus red card suspension while the defense was solid, so you put him back where he was before that. James’ assists have been while teams were chasing the game and he was able to be set off on counters. I think even two of those were when he was a sub, one of which he recorded by literally tripping over his feet trying to get a shot off.

Then after the game they say “Did Farke get it wrong with Cooper?”. Well yeah he did. I think it was Popey yesterday who now finally says to bring Anthony in, but in place of Summerville and not James. It’s madness.

Twitter is saying Tyler is heading back to America for surgery on his same hamstring and is gonna be out 3 months.

For how he forced his way out of the club I don’t feel bad about this, thanks for the break even millions cherries

Anything less than 6 points from these 2 home games would be disappointing
