[quote="tad rhino":2pwk5tqu]did I mention the inbred hull scum with Turkish flags. threatened to get out of hand big style[/quote:2pwk5tqu] They are scum, and they know it will provoke a response. Not sure they are actually committing an offence by waving a national flag, and that’s why they push their luck. I recently reported a lad to the manager at my gym for walking around with a Free Palestine sweatshirt with a massive flag on the front. He told me he wouldn’t be doing anything immediately because no actual offence had been committed. He then told me the rememberance poppy I was wearing could be offensive to some people, in other words, live and let live. I told him it was the most ridiculous comparison he could make and after some toing and froing left with the understanding he would have a word with the lad at a later date and try to reason with him. A few years back the lad with the Turkish flag would have been noted and ended up with a different shaped nose outside the ground.

Buendia might be leaving Villa this month.. Emery says they need to offload some fringe players (of which he’s one).. watching with interest

would be lovely but can't see it

Serious question here and not having a go (for once)! How many of our acclaimed youth signings over the last 2 or 3 years have made it in the first team? We were all in awe of the likes of Geldhart, Perkins, Greenwood, Cresswell, Gyabi and I`m sure there`s more. Yet none of those above have progressed with only Archie Gray who has now left and possibly Charlie Crew who should make it along with Joseph maybe. Have I missed others? And are these players we sign not getting coached properly?

Our academy system has been underperforming for years. It's only just getting back to anything like with the Niners putting good money in and good coaches but it will take time. Previous successive owners ran it into the ground.. one of my best mates, his lad is at Man U academy (He's 12, just signed for another 2 years and been with them since age eight) was telling me when his lad went to Man U he had the pick of loads of clubs and Leeds was one of them but the academy was really badly run (he's a big Leeds fan too so it was a horrible decision to make) so he chose Manchester to give his lad best coaching and set up etc.. he says Leeds have been well behind the big clubs in England for a long time.

Interesting that Trebor and hopefully things will start to improve. It does seem a shame that those I mentioned and I`m sure there`s others were all deemed the next best thing.
