ManUtd1 Posted January 25, 2017 Author Share Posted January 25, 2017 Some day, this place is gonna burn... Leeds United April 2031 - Mini Update Into the stretch run we go, at a canter. Shaking off the losses to Chelsea and City. We're in with a shout for European football next year, via the League and/or FA Cup. Having to go to a replay on three separate occasions in the latter (including extra time against United)...thank goodness the lads have all accustomed to the strict grapefruit diet instituted last summer. Our run-in in the League is very straightforward, as all of our matches are against sides beneath us in the table. Bournemouth in the FA Cup Semifinals (after Norwich in the Quarterfinals)...tremendous draw, given the Liverpool/United draws earlier. In other good news, Miquel Carcel has agreed to a permanent move over the summer, after multiple failed contract negotiations. Bierhoff's agent is still being a **** in negotiations, but we're getting closer and I've got two months to get him to sign on the dotted line. I love it when a plan comes together.

ManUtd1 Posted January 25, 2017 Author Share Posted January 25, 2017 (edited) I've watched him play 8 times, had Skulason raise the issue on social media. He's gone from "no, thanks...it's Leeds" to a rows with Allegri after our latest offer was rejected. The overtures will continue...I need a better keeper. Menagh (a Manchester United product) is doing well, but he's not good enough. EDIT: After his fit, I get this message. Ze Germans had rejected a $37M offer, leading to his tantrum. NIce.

ManUtd1 Posted January 26, 2017 Author Share Posted January 26, 2017 Some day, this place is gonna burn... Leeds United 2030/31 Season Review When you hit rock bottom, there's only one way you can go. Somewhere between the dank corridors of Elland Road, the loss of Apples and the bottom of a pint glass at The Old Peacock, I found it again. Inspiration. That single-minded desire to overcome adversity, in all its forms. While I cannot help but hope for Apples' happiness, the rest of Europe will have to answer for Emma's betrayal. That renewed focus paid dividends on the pitch. Slowly, but surely this manic side has begun to take shape. We notched a few big wins on our belt, most importantly over the likes of Liverpool and Manchester United in the FA Cup, on our march to the Final. Alright, Arsenal kicked us around, but it was one hell of a run and far more than anyone expected of us. In the League, we finished strong finding ourselves 6th with a guaranteed spot in the Europa League. 12 months ago, on the eve of the World Cup in Spain, if anyone had told me that not only would Sweden win the lot but I'd finish 6th in the Premier League with Leeds, I'd have crossed the street to avoid the mad bastard. But, nevertheless, here we are and that mad bastard is the head of our supporters' club. A good year, all told. With foundations to build upon. Our key loan signings have turned into permanent deals, and even Rosenberg went ape**** in Germany to make the move happen. Absolutely mental. I think my XI is in place. We need some depth, but we're getting there. If we can keep this side together, they'll be capable of great things. For now, I have no intention of taking my foot off the gas pedal, tactically. The supporters love it. The neutrals love it. The lads would lynch me if I tried. And, we're putting points on the board. So, who's complaining? No, Pep The Bald doesn't get a say in this. We're the new hipsters in town.

The only potentially eligible teams of note were Sporting CP and Atletico, both of whom fell in the quarterfinals. Monaco were annihilated 11-nil by Fiorentina in the first knockout round, contributing in no small part to their manager being sacked.

I don't know if we have the depth to manage a domestic and European campaign. But we're sure as **** going to try. We're a young, inconsistent side, but we have the ability to surprise some teams. And, as a young side, we shouldcome on strong in the 2nd half of the season. It's a good thing we're busy, so I don't have time to even notice all of the media furor surrounding Apples' wedding to Emma. The ink is barely dry on our decree of dissolution, and they're already planning the wedding of the year for Florence, in the beauty of the Italian autumn. That **** Clooney officiating is only making the media circus worse, even with Guy Ritchie doing the wedding photography. Papa Quintino won't even return my calls. At least Pietro keeps in touch.

I'm very much building towards have a squad that can be competitive at that point. The @Guimy tactical base is extremely impressive when we're "on" -- the movement on/off the ball, how quickly we're knocking it around, etc. Carcel completed 140+ passes against Sevilla in a 5-nil win at the Pizjuan (playing deeper and on standard). It was utterly insane. I suspect that, as the players continue to develop into their prime, we're going to trample people. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
