All the big boys in the CC now so thought it would gain more interest. I imagine Wenger might take this more seriously this year than ever :)

Anyway, Leeds, this game comes at a bit of a bad time, we have Brighton on Friday which is a very big game, I don't know who SG will risk, I don't think we have much chance getting a result against Man U but we don't want to be embarrassed neither. We've faired well against Prem teams in the last three years, Man U, Arsenal, Spurs and Liverpool but that's playing a strong line up.

At least Brighton are playing on Wednesday, seems mad we are playing them on Friday and not Saturday. They're in the same boat as us though, they won't want to risk their players but Liverpool at home and in their form, they could certainly cause an upset.
 
It might have been a dig with the 'biggest game' comment, but you're right, it is. However if we could trade another win against you for a good run to promotion/playoffs I'd swap it in an instant.

Cause it was, but in the end there's no pressure on us, I'm sure man u fans will want revenge on us. Annoying I'll have to going to work tomorrow and be confronted with a tirade of abuse :(

Our team in League 1 was a lot better than we have now also.
 
Say what now?

Anyway I'm pretty sure most Utd fans won't care too much about that.

BS, you don't care about beating Leeds? You may not care for the CC but putting one over on us you will do. You can try passing off that its just Leeds that care about this game but I'm sure you'll be cheering when/if you score to tonight.

And like mentioned all I see on Facebook and from friends "we better beat Dirty Leeds tonight"
 
You've not seen Paddy's performances this season then? He has been a shadow of his former self since the injury, Bromby was night and day better when Paddy got sent off other day.

Kisnorbo has been poor but he's no worse than the backup we have. Bromby isn't much better neither. We're screwed for the season because of pathetic center backs.
 
Leeds fans a bit off topic but how is Clayton doing? He looked quality when i saw him in our reserves and looked like our next player to come through the academy but then we got taken over and so his progress was stopped pretty much.

Last season he looked average, this season outstanding. 3 MOM peformances in first four games. Brilliant player and we look rubbish without him.
 
Leeds team: Lonergan, Leeds, Bromby, O'Dea, White, Snoddy, Clayton, Howson, Keogh, McCormack and Becchio.

Not sure if we're 433 or Mccormack is on LM which wouldn't be ideal.
 
I've never understood why people are proud of having a load of thugs for a team. :p

I never understood the moronic dirty leeds which stems back to the 70's still, we will keep that as Man U fans will always be from London and glory supporters. I may as well embrace it :)
