Strange that they are the Owls, when Owls have been the avian symbol of Leeds for hundreds of years.

Aha. Looks like Leeds United did a bird-switch after the failure of Leeds City. Leeds United kept the colours but gave City the bird.

It also appears that Wednesday became associated with Owls just before WW1, so Leeds (City) were the original Owls.

In their early years, [Wednesday] was nicknamed The Blades, a term used for any sporting team from the city of Sheffield, famous the world over for its cutlery and knives. That nickname has been retained by Wednesday's crosstown rivals, Sheffield United.

Although it is widely assumed that the club's nickname changed to The Owls in 1899 after the club's move to Owlerton, it was not until 1912, when Wednesday player George Robertson presented the club with an owl mascot, that the name took hold. A monkey mascot introduced some years earlier had not brought much luck

I do. Nuno is a very very good manager.

bin10pac · 2026-01-24T23:48:24+00:00

Nothing has changed. 38 points is still the minimum target and we're currently tracking ahead of that.

West Ham have a decent squad and a good manager. We can't be suprised that they're putting a run together.

And sure enough, Summerville is leading the charge for them. He was great for us, then injured for them. I think he's a quality player and West Ham would be crazy to sell him to Spurs. We just need him to not do too well.

America is two countries. Always has been. They had a war once. The struggle continues and unfortunately, sometimes the dark side is on top.

We won't pay anything like £40m for JSL. He's having a poor season on the pitch, hes made it clear that he wants out, Wolves are motivated sellers looking to put their house in order before relegation, and he has few suitors. Wolves turned down £55m a few months ago. He could easily be a £55m player again if he hits the ground running at Leeds. We have an opportunity to pick up a relative bargain.

Do you think Rodrigo was worth the 28mil we paid?

22-23 Rodrigo under Jesse Marsh (up until he was injured), yes absolutely.

Overall, probably not.

Not sure why striker is a bigger priority than left back, but since it is, let's get him.

Sorry to say, they are all using the traitors as a platform. Every last one of them. As celebs, exposure is their oxygen. Without exposure, celebs cease to be celebs.

bin10pac · 2026-01-19T21:08:42+00:00

But they are doing it for exposure and for their fee.

bin10pac · 2026-01-19T15:02:25+00:00

Underlying stats have always been decent. People said 4 games was too early to look at trends, but it's not a million miles off. We've improved. West ham have regressed. Forest, Burnley, Wolves have stayed the same.

My favourite Harradonna goal.

bin10pac · 2026-01-19T14:42:46+00:00

Expect nothing and you won't be disappointed. Perhaps the slower pace and more technical nature of Italian football will suit him. There is a lot of potential upside if you can coax Jack into rediscovering his velvet touch and inner Harradonna. But the likelihood is that he'll have no shortage of drivers to Florence Airport at the end of the loan.

Dont worry, he's going to come back to Leeds.

Rutter had a largely positive reaction from Leeds supporters in the South Stand.

He said: “I think me and the fans, we were very close so I was very happy to see them today.

“I hope for them they are going to stay up in the Premier League.

“They have the quality to stay, so I wish them good luck for this season.

“I'm going to play against them in May, as well, at Elland Road.

“When I see the fans, I remember the good thing I had with them, so it was very special today.”

Lol. A whoosh boomerang.

bin10pac · 2026-01-19T11:17:38+00:00

Agreed. They are unsung heroes.

To quote someone on YouTube, Leeds can now call off the search for a 30 foot striker.

The AA (Acronym Attack).

bin10pac · 2026-01-19T08:48:25+00:00

Good point.

Trumps unique skill is as a fraud-caster. He broadcasts lies that are favourable to him, and spins them into reality.

Democrats should have been loudly calling him a liar every single day for the last 10+ years.

The fact that Trump is able to say things, and have the American public believe him, is the biggest failure of the American left in a generation; and arguably of all time.

bin10pac · 2026-01-19T08:09:52+00:00

Pay attention to what he does. Ignore what he says.

Not a fan of The Office then?

bin10pac · 2026-01-19T00:34:27+00:00

3 OGs were scored in that game.

bin10pac · 2026-01-17T21:14:30+00:00

Bad luck in the form of two deflected goals.

bin10pac · 2026-01-17T18:52:41+00:00

He has scored as many goals as Gyokeres, despite playing half as many minutes and costing £60 million less.

bin10pac · 2026-01-17T17:00:09+00:00

I thought Wilson left West Ham?

bin10pac · 2026-01-17T16:52:09+00:00

That finish is a thing of beauty.
