Well lads, I was close to tears the way we won on Sunday. It was a 5.30 am kick off here so couldn't too crazy at 7.30 am.
I think ye said it all, we are so close. I won't celebrate until its done.

The break suited us and so does no crowd, its taken a lot of that added pressure off. We have a fully fit squad except for forshaw and having Pablo, Alioski and Douglas to come on each game gives us a massive boost after teams are ran into the ground.

I don't think many people realize how much was riding on this year financially. We had to get up and its kind of a miracle too doing without a second striker really.

The turning point for me this season was Brentford away, that draw was huge and we won 5 in a row after. Either way, this week looks to be the week.

I'm 37 but my Dad is Leeds fan and so is my Sister, she is 36. We actually went to leeds v hull a few years ago, first time Dad seen us win in the flesh but he hasn't been to many. He became a fan because of Giles and has been following ever since. I used to go a lot when I lived in London.

I live and work in Vancouver now and a bunch of Leeds fan got together to watch the 1st leg of Derby playoff in Irish bar here last year, it was the same day as European cup final with Leinster so only 1 tv was showing Leeds the other 20 showing the rugby. The place was packed, it was 9 am kick off here, about 30 lads showed up and mostly young late 20s/30s.

When Roofe scored we went mental and the whole bar was just looking at us jumping on top of each other.  Id say it was sight.

You can watch all the games over here on LUTV because we are international. The only hard thing is the time difference, I got up at 4.30 am on Saturday to watch and then listened to Sligo beat Wexford on Oceanfm. The 3pm kick offs are 7am here. Midweek games are the best 11.45 am kick off, I watched them at work but now run my own business so its even better. the last 2 games Derby and Charlton are at 1 and 12.30 which will be tough.

You would be surprised though at the age profile when I went back to College to finish my degree in LIT, I remember coming out of a bar waiting on bus and 20 lads in early 20s started chanting Marching on Together so obv I joined in but I was as surprised as anyone, the whole group were chanting.

Forest drawing great result, it'd be good for Fulham to mess up, March 18th looking bigger by the day.

We will take it, Tyler Roberts could be huge for us now in the run-in. It feels a little different to last year in that we picked up a great run of 4 wins at the right time and there's a little gap. We are playing a lot of mid-table teams and we seem to get over them easier.

We didn't have a gap this time last year nor did we have run like this.

We were on 67 pts with sheff utd behind by 3 with game in hand, I just don't see a team like Sheff Utd pushing on like last year. Fulham and Forest most likely. Forest play twice before we play again.

We play Fulham at home on March 18th, the biggest game in a long time.

[2 games]

I just looked at the table and did 6 different group permutations from most likely to less. If Sligo win our last 2 games we would all but be promoted.

The main reason is that we all have to play each other and both can't win and draws aren't good enough. I think Antrim are most likely to go up, on 7 pts with Wicklow away and Waterford at home. They should finish on 11pts.

I think Limerick and ourselves finish on 10 pts and we go up on the better head to head.

There is not much chance of any 3-way ties so I don't think score difference will matter but Limerick are 6pts worse than us at the minute.

The head to head win on Wexford could be huge if they win the last 2 matches.

We are better off if Antrim wins both matches because drawing one does bring them to 10 and that could create a 3-way tie with Wexford who have 8pts better score difference.

So basically forget about all this just focus on ourselves, look forward, bring the right attitude and win both games and we have a very very good chance.

But yep it is anyone's. Sligo v Limerick could be winner takes all.

Nothing to see here, move along

Absolute torture watching Leeds at the minute, far the better team in Brentford and Bristol and scraping a draw and win because of so many missed chances and poor final third passes. I don't know what to make of costa and harrison, both get into glorious positions but end product is poor. Bamford I can honestly say in all my 30 yrs supporting Leeds is I never disliked a player more, he scores 1 in 20 chances and has missed sitters but when he scores he cups his ears as if he silenced the negative fans. Its such a weak mentality, hes let us down so many times but rest of the team will carry him to tap ins, this is not to mention his diving etc.. hes get too much credit for his workrate and link play from leeds fan desperate for him to do well.

Casillas is enigma, 12 clean sheets prior to xmas was unreal for us but I seen a highlight reel of all his mistakes and it was longer than you think.

I will end on a few positives, we are playing well, and of all the teams in the top 6 we only have Fulham at home to play. The other contenders have to play each 4/5 times and can't all win so Leeds are in a great position despite our collapse. Reaing tomorrow is huge, a must win.

Has to be automatic. The difference with last year is the chasing pack are slipping up. Forest away is huge in early Feb.

For me Dallas and Ayling are playing like warriors at the minute, and wont settle for anything less than wins. Talk of getting ched evans on loan from Southamptom. I am still not convinced by Bamford. There will be a few twists and turns yet but if we can get Forshaw and Hernandez back soon would be a huge boost.

Looking forward to see how we do against Arsenal, a tougher game than it would have been a few weeks ago, Leeds bringing 9,000.

Kuenssberg will interview Johnson instead of Neil on Friday

Donald interviews Boris. 2 complete t**ts together.

She is a Tory propaganda machine masquerading as a BBC journalist.

Labour shouldnt of fallen for this though I agree.

The NHS document released today will get votes for Labour so there is hope yet and 4.1 m newly registered voters 70% under 35 could swing in Labours favour. The amount of lies from the Tories and disinformation is quite shocking but not surprising all aided and abated by a Tory MSM inc BBC.

We can only dream of getting the help Pearses got today from ref. Made sure they won the game.

Far clearer penalty not given to Tourlestrane. Nothing new. There was only about 20 secs of that 4 min interview where I thought O hara was talking waffle. The rest was on point.

Injustice

Paul Taylor has added Nigel Dineen to his Sligo management team, Dinnen led Roscommon to the U21 All Ireland finals in 2012 and 2014.  London the last football team to appoint their manager and they have gone with a first ever London born manager in Michael Maher.

Delighted to have Dineen on board and retained Joe Keane as selector/coach with the addition of S&C Sean Boyle.

Liam Kerins has the Galway job.

That would be a major surprise if true. Only in that he's up against a 100% Galway legend who has assembled a fairly impressive backroom team (on paper anyway) if you believe the rumours. I know both of them were having their final interviews this evening alright.

They'd hardly ratify Kearns over Joyce?

There is another great leeds documentary on Amazon prime called "do you want to win?" its about the 90 promotion and 92 champions team. Very very good watch.

Good win at Barnsley at the weekend. Derby at home on Saturday.

Brees out for 6 weeks,

What do ye make of the Dolphins this year and the tanking for #1 pick? We have traded for Tunsil, stills, wake, Suh etc... for loads of picks next 2 years and opened up salary cap space. Looks like Minkah Fitzpatrick going to be traded this week for a 1st round aswell.

This season is a write off but just wondering if ye think we are rebuilding the right way.
