For better atmosphere and much cheaper tickets go to watch a QPR or Millwall match if they are home. The big London clubs attract football tourists and the atmosphere consequently suffers. An exception to that is Palace but Selhurst is a pain in the arse to get to.

Watched the documentary Paris 75 today. Absolutely stunning. I barely remember that match but the film did a fantastic job of capturing the essence of that era. Highly recommended.

Farke should have responded to Chelscum's subs in the 46th minute with Elvedi, Okafor, and Tanaka. Waiting until the 66th minute is madness. Poor managing.

If that's the case then we need to hold on until January and bring in another CB or sign Leite as cover. I believe that he's still available.

So let's say the worst case scenario is he returns for the spuds on 11/7. That would mean that he misses:
@Brighton
Chelscum (cup match)
Bar Codes
Palace
@Arsenal
Scum
@mackems
@Bournemouth

That's a difficult stretch. Elvedi and Bard both seem to be durable because they will have to play a massive role in our continued (hopefully) success. Fingers crossed for a speedy recovery.

The owner at the time was an italian count named Cellino who had some count from italy in Leeds waiting for a medical. He was a striker who ended up getting capped by italy (andrea paverelli or something) we were supposed to be adding another player or 2.

Remember those days well. Cellino owned Cagliari and it was hoped that Leeds would benefit from his contacts with that club and with Serie A in general. The only impactful player that I recall him bringing to Leeds from Italy was Sol Bamba (RIP). Never a dull moment with Cellino. The sacking of managers was a daily routine for that guy. I will give him credit for addressing the GFH mess and for initiating talk about buying Elland Road (aka Church) back.

Just couldn’t get a striker through the door, but Okafor could rotate up top if needed and so could Bahoya

---

I think that's the plan. It was the same with Paixao. It'll be interesting to see if the Fofana deal still happens for the mackems once he actually sees Sunderland.

ETA: My pal just messaged me and said that a deal with Frankfurt has been reached.

Melvin Bard came out of left field. Hopefully, the braintrust has a few more surprises for us.

Paix isn’t leaving. Marseille just came out and said it. It was basically done with Sunderland and they bailed at last minute

---

We're still pushing apparently but if Mudryk goes to Spuds and Paixao stays at OM then we're done. Willy will stay and no more signings with the possible exception of Leite.

I don’t even care about a LW anymore, Willy and Brenda can be the backups for the year

---

Yeah. It looks like we're going after Harder. We could be done after that unless an enticing option at LW presents itself. Zetterer should be announced tomorrow.

Yet another fricking away match in a cup. Just have to laugh at this point.
