How this isn't a penalty, I'll never know.

But three points on the opening day is very welcome.
C'mon, he's a goalkeeper. I mean he didn't murder your guy
In truth I'd love to hear an official explanation of why that wasn't given as a penalty.
The explanation was that it was an unintentional coming together. Both players looking at the ball and collided.

If two players in the outfield are both going for the ball and one gets there late taking out the other, that's a foul. Why not the same for goalkeepers ?

I think quite a lot of people have put that forward as a defense, but it doesn't work for me.

No wonder Newcastle want him. Apparently we have now rejected a 2nd offer.

Goodness gracious me. We needed that.

OK. This has nothing to do with Leeds directly, other than the poster on Twitter is a Leeds fan. He started posting photos of a beach he was visiting a few months ago and purely by coincidence, it is the beach that I often walk along in Ponta Negra, Natal, in Brazil.

So I started following him on Twitter. When he is not in Brazil, he is back home in Norway where he took this amazing photo of the Aurora Borealis, which I wanted to share.

Always a roller coaster. But what a comeback.

Willy Gnonto, at 18yo, is a huge talent.

Hearing rumours that Leeds will be playing a friendly at Elche during their training camp in Spain over the WC break.

Can anyone confirm this and provide details/dates etc ? Elche is just 30 mins away for me.

no idea Bob, but sounds good - one of the fans twitter forums etc is probably more likely to give you the answer though!
