So you are going to get 1 more "point" than we got last night. wink

Seriously though, that is good news. Do you know yet which vaccine you will be getting ?

I dont, and dont really mind to be honest - I am not sure people should have a choice in the matter, be thankful we are getting something so don't intend to query it at all! I will ask for interest's sake though!

Delighted with a point from today's match against the multi-zillionaires from Chelsea.

According to The Guardian, there may be 3 (three) Leeds players in the England squad which is announced tomorrow. Southgate is said to be considering giving Ayling and Bamford their first call ups.

Best news about this is that it means Bamford has recovered from the knock that forced him off against Chelsea at the weekend and will be available for the Fulham game on Friday night.

Yes if you could beat Fulham that would be appreciated

We'll do our best. Saw one Leeds fan yesterday saying that if we didn't get 6 points from our next two matches (Fulham & Sheff Utd), we'd probably be relegated. There are still some very nervous LUFC fans around.

Good result for you guys at Southampton at the weekend though.

That fan is ridiculous then. Leeds have 36 points, no way they wont get a few more at least. With the way things are, there is no chance 38 points, probably 36 in fact, wont be enough to stay up. I would put my house on that. Anyone on 36 or higher now is safe, maybe not mathematically (only City, Utd and Leicester are mathematically safe) but realistically.

I think that 16 years of hurt has left some fans seriously mentally scarred. You will see it on Twitter on the #LUFC timeline. Every time a team below us gains a point or even scores a goal, they go into panic mode.

Even saw one fan panicking because Man City had selected a weakened team against Fulham even though the match hadn't even started.

As you know I am still a "fan" although not avid - as you know as well - I had switched off earlier this year but am more interested again now being honest. Leeds are comfortable and safe - by their nature they will drop some silly points but they will also gain wins as the rest of the season progresses.

Use this excellent tool and you will form your own view!

I reckon 35 points will be enough to stay up, 34 will go down. Leeds will end up with 44 at least, maybe 50, somewhere in mid 40's certainly and 12th place , maybe 13th. But they are safe already IMO, 36 will be enough Bob, trust me

I am comfortable with our position. I said at the start of the season that we would finish 12th-15th in the table and I still think that will be true. I am not one of those in panic mode every time WBA get a corner LOL.

Team in 18th place (last 8 seasons)

2019/20 : 34 pts

2018/19 : 34 pts

2017/18 : 33 pts

2016/17 : 34 pts

2015/16 : 37 pts

2014/15 : 35 pts

2013/14 : 33 pts

2012/13 : 36 pts

This season will be no different and I agree when you say that our 36 points should already be enough to keep us up.

If Fulham beat Leeds I could see 3rd bottom getting to 38 points or more this season.

But Leeds would almost certainly still get into the 40s so all fine. Maybe

Had vaccine at Elland Road today, yay.

Not having been there in 2 seasons though, it reminded me what a dump it is, yuk. The parking for the vaccination centre was at the park and ride on Elland road. The vaccinations in the lowfields road east stand and using the hospitality area under there. The lot next to the park and ride is taken over by a travellers site, literally tens of caravans and a little town has sprung up , with what looked like communal party tents as well as living caravans and the like.
