Thoughts on Monday's game boys

very very worried. 5 of our best 6 players have been injured in the last couple of weeks, no idea if they wil be back yet, and you have a great manager and have been in cracking form.

I think you have the potential to join Charlton & ourselves in the automatic promotion race as the season goes on and we cannot afford to let you take all 3 points in Mondays encounter.

I think it will probably be 1-1, but im hopeful it could be 2-1 Leeds.

Leeds United Football Club did not exercise the option to purchase Thorp Arch before the 23:59 deadline on the 15th October.

The club will remain a tenant of Barnaway Limited for the next 20 years under the terms of the current lease. The club's use of Thorp Arch during that period will remain unchanged from our current use.

Discussions continued with Leeds City Council until the deadline, however the Council were not able to provide the club with an unconditional letter of commitment to purchase Thorp Arch and then lease it back to the club. This meant that if the club was to have exercised the option the club would have been at risk of completing the transaction in 28 days time without the guarantee of funding. That was a £6m risk the club was not prepared to make.

It is the club's belief that the conditions that the Council sought to attach to the offer could all have been satisfied before the expiry of the 28 days, however as they were not all in the gift of the club therefore it was decided not to proceed.

The club would like to thank all those involved from the Council, and our solicitors Walker Morris and King Sturge for their efforts in assisting the club in trying to repurchase Thorp Arch.

This is a huge blow

Sounds like we might be getting Sam Vokes on loan which would be a great addition in this league

Should be fun tonight, I doubt Snodgrass be playing he was drinking and eating yesterday in my local for 3-4hrs Tongue

Hopefully we can mullar them and got back top of the table.

Was chatting to my uncle at weekend, he has some connections with Charlton and he was telling me tales of Pardew, how he was Billy Big Bollocks when he came back to Charlton and absolutly pissed everyone off, they couldn't handle him and were glad to see the back of him. Any Charlton fans confirm this? shame some managers get way too big for their own boots.

Snodgrass is playing as well, sigh.

One major change in the Norwich side, Korey Smith (very promising youth product) is out. Will be happy with a point, think it should be a good game though.
