Not 100% sure how accurate this is but just seen online that apparently when/if Trafford signs for Leeds he's gonna be the 4th most expensive keeper ever!

Everything has gone very quiet on the Shea Charles front of late, hasn't it? Anyone aware of the current situation there at all?
Given the 2 major signings we've already made, if we get both Trafford & Brandt over the line then this could potentially be an historically good window for Leeds, & considering how good all the windows under the 49ers have been, that's really saying something. Thoughts?
As far as I'm aware there's only been 2 serious attacks on the US mainland (Pearl Harbour & 9/11) in the last 80 years or so. I wonder if they'd be so warmongering if their military & civilian infrastructures were bombed like they do to so many other nations? (Not saying I want this to happen).
If that was their 'best possible way' then the players they faced should be relieved they're not all in traction for life then if they'd have gone in a less 'best' way! 🙄😂
Wondered why i was getting some funny looks in the gym this morning then saw in the mirror that i must have scratched my nose after using climbing chalk, so i had some white powdery residue all around my nose! 🙄😂
Microsoft is planning to build 3 massive AI data centres in Leeds. It’ll drain thousands of litres of water from the River Aire and become the city's biggest carbon emitter. We can still stop the council's final sign-off, but we need more voices. Add your name: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/pr...
Stop the Microsoft AI megasite in Leeds!

I must say it feels weird as an English person that we're currently not in the top 3 disliked countries. 1. Israel 2. USA 3. Argentina
A consolation i take is that Argentina beat us relatively fairly. It didn't come down to some dodgy ref decisions or a 'hand of god' or Simeone getting Beckham sent off in 98 - we just lost cos of our own failures, whether our play or tactically. The team who turned up today won, end of story.
Well, we all thought/hoped our final game would be against France in this tournament but not in the 3rd place game though!
Tuchel has to accept a lot of the responsibility for this for trying to park the bus. I thought he was brought in to change that mindset as it's exactly what Southgate would have done!
Like that... Now we're in trouble as we're all set up tactically to defend but now we need to attack again! So predictable!
England carry on sitting back like this & i don't think it'll end well for us. They've too much quality up top & eventually you've gotta imagine they'll get the 1 chance they'll need! Then if that happens then it's very tough to go from all out defence to then trying to get back attacking again!

Isn't it funny watching Argentina rushing to take throws, set pieces, etc now. Wonder what's changed?! 🤷♂️🤷♂️
This LB Spence for England looks a decent player. Shame Leeds couldn't sign a player like him! 🤷♂️🤷♂️😉
Phil McNulty said on BBC website that today is England's biggest game since 66 but I'd argue that the 24 Euro final v Spain was bigger than tonight's WC semi-final. If we'd won in 24 we've won the euros but win tonight only means we've made the WC final but could still lose to Spain. Thoughts?
It's not just the fact that he's so, so stupid. It's the fact that he's so, so stupid despite having every privelige possible in life, and, on top of that, he & all his cult fluffers & followers think he's just so, so smart too & tell us so, so damn frequently!
Love this quote from Gabi “Hand on heart I can say that the Leeds fans are the best in England and they have supported us in a really good way this season. I don’t think you understand how big the club is until you are in it.” He gets us 💛🤍💙
Saw this article link on the BBC website & it's things like this that makes us English so hated. England are 'where they belong'?! What the hell! In sport, no-one 'belongs' anywhere - you have to earn it, like when some Leeds fans said similar when we got promoted. Winds me up (as you can tell!)
A certain 3 people dying, Connor McGregor losing, England's win - all in all, it's not been a bad last couple of days!
I hope this doesn't come across badly, but in this day & age why are women still only playing best of 3 sets in tennis in Wimbledon etc when men play 5? We wouldn't ask women to only run 3/5 of a marathon or play 54 minutes in football so i don't understand why tennis does? Anybody?
Just read a BBC article about Bellingham which reminded me that Birmingham retired his 22 shirt number when they sold him after only 44 appearances! I'd forgotten that ridiculousness! 🤷♂️😂
I know i posted yesterday about trying to stop my 'self medicating' but given the football later & now hearing about Bates, I'm gonna indulge today! 🍺 (In relative moderation though!)
Supported Leeds all my life but only lived there from 05-09, so Bates was owner the whole time, which pretty much sums up my life & also what it's like to support Leeds! Celebrating someone's death is usually pretty abhorrent but sometimes it's justified. He is definitely in the latter category!
So, i've been struggling badly with my mental health/ADHD for 2 years which has led to me 'self-medicating' (alcohol/drugs) &, obviously, it's only making matters worse. To try & make myself more accountable i'm going to start using my backup account on here to post progress....
Although I've got a lot of faith in Leeds recruitment team coming good again this summer, i do wish they'd get a move on a bit tho. We want to get our new signings bedded in asap, so we can hit the ground running. Last season we only got 8 points from 1st 8 games & we want a better start this time.
The sheer audacity of that female Paraguayan politician who racially abused Mbappe, to apologise to him for her racism but then also expecting him to apologise to her for what he said in response to her racism is off the charts! Absolutely ridiculous!
Jaidon Anthony signed for Brentford for £19m! That is a surprise, especially at for such a relatively high price!
