Leeds United vs Hull City match thread

[Jerel Ifil]

How did White do at LB?

Wasn't kept very busy but got stuck in more than he usually does. Didn't get too involved on the attacking side of things, which was a shame. Though it's to be expected in a 4-4-2 I suppose. The goal came from his side of the field, but I didn't get a very good view of it and haven't watched the highlights back. I assume he was out of position as Hull's winger was in acres of space.

Conclusion: he's not the answer. We do need a proper leftback in if we're to stand a chance of promotion. He makes a reasonable stand-in on a night where we raised our game and Hull fell to ****, but I think if we put him there next Sunday... boy he's gonna get a roasting! Act quickly, Kenneth.

As posted in a previous thread I feel sorry for Leeds supporters who have delusions that they are, or have ever been a big successful club.
Apart from a short spell in the late 60s early 70s they have infact won next to **** all.

Div 1 winners - 69, 74, 92
Fa Cup - 72
League Cup - 68
UEFA Cup - 68, 71

Thats 7 major trophies. This doesn't make you a big club. It does though make you deluded.

To put it in perspective purposly omitting the two real big clubs

Arsenal - 26 major trophies
Villa - 21
Everton - 17
Spurs - 17
Chelsea - 16
Newcastle - 11
Sheff Weds - 8
Wolves - 9
Sunderland - 8
Blackburn - 10
Man City - 10

Champions of Europe? **** me you're not even Champions of Yorkshire

Before you reply with the obvious "We've won more than Hull City ever have"

I know, but "No silverware, I don't care I follow Hull City everywhere"

Deluded

Wow it's like you got it all from Wikipedia, look up 1975 european cup final, the match was fixed thats why we are champions of europe. Champions of Yorkshire, biggest attendance and highest league place last season in Yorkshire, best fans and best players. Aside from the occasional spell in division two we've all ways been Premier league, and quite often a top 4 team, unfortunately we were in the same position as Arsenal are now, one of the best teams in England yet managing never to win barely anythin, always falling or been cheated out at the final hurdle. But saying that Hull's greatest achievement in the play off final in 08, hardly comparable to been cheated out of a European cup final or been champions of England. Leeds in League one were fallen giants, Hull in the Premier league were punching above their weight. When Leeds were in the Champions League semis in 2001 you were in league two. But I guess times change Leeds aren't challenging for the Prem title and champions league, Wigan are in the Prem and Hull aren't a miget club in league two, oh wait there still a miget club just in the championship now.

Sorry Donald, but Middlesbrough are second. That makes THEM Yorkshire's top team.

Sorry.

You needa geography lesson, Middlesbrough is in Teeside, not Yorkshire, as much as they wish they were yorkshire, there not. Btw even if they did were the holder of Yorkshire biggest club, just like Man U are the holders of the Premier League, and Man City are the holders of the FA cup, were the holders of Yorkshire biggest and best club, highest attendance, best honours, highest league position.

Middlesbrough is in North Yorkshire.

Middlesbrough is in North Yorkshire.

I count it as such, stupid council borders mean **** all. No need to be a **** K-G-I-G, let's be gracious in victory.

I imagine the West Ham match thread will be even more riddled with 'who's the bigger club'/'who's got the better squad' discussions.

If they've finally got some fans on here, that is.

Well, there wasn't much point in having one on here was there, you know we don't like rubbing it in.

Fine...I'll accept Boro are a bunch of yorkshire rejects.

Erik, Erik, Erik. Yorkshire's number one status is decided on a) whether you're Leeds United who are based in Yorkshire's principal city and b) where you finished last season, much like how Man U are still champions despite not being top of the league at present. Since we were the best-positioned team in Yorkshire, and are Leeds United, I think that makes a compelling case.

He was ****ing brilliant at LB. Absolutely sublime. Never seen a Leeds LB actually keep up to speed with the opposition winger. He might be a bit lightweight strengthwise and theoretically... but when was the last time you saw a strong winger? He did amazingly well, because unlike Parker or anyone else we've seen (bar Lichaj) he has pace and also, he was hungry. Totally got stuck in every time. Number of times he made a mug of their winger (whoever the **** he was... was it that scum **** Brady?), uncountable. We all thought he was more of a winger than a full back but I say play him there. Get him involved, he's hungry and amazing.

Also, number of players we had on the pitch who had chants aimed at them tonight... beautiful. I really enjoyed giving each individual player praise. They were a unit tonight, an amazing one.

So you reckon he is the answer to the LB problem then?

There is only one answer to it all the cods blew it

Good side Braintree, I just don't know what Grimsby have to do with things here though.

 

[eastyorkshirewhite]

As I said earlier... when other teams are weakened, we play crap!

Didn't see a single Leeds shirt in Hull today.... bet there will be loads tomorrow like rats out of the sewers.

And there is plenty of sewers in hull

 

[Hank Scorpio]

Amusing things:

The 'Ulltras having their flag taken down.

Robbie Brady being appalling and getting lots of abuse for being an ugly little scum player.

TAKE MY HEART. TAKE MY WHOLE LIFE TOO. FOR I CAN'T HELP FALLING IN LOVE WITH YOU. The Kop cringed as one when this was heard.

We're Yorkshire's number one. Good luck, good night, and remember kids: Dele is the new Pele.

I doubt it's as cringeworthy as the champions of europe song you sing.

 

[EnochForEngland]

What happened involving the ultras flag?

 

[DMD]

I wonder it Dutch Mountain Dog can edit that result out?

Jeez, I tweak ONE post to try to stop her looking more stupid than usual and she goes on and on and on and on and on and on...are you sure you're not a DQPR fan?

No more favours from me sweetheart.

I've just driven down to London, so don't have time to go through all the new pages on this thread, but I can guess what they say.

Well done, you were good, we were bloody awful, though I thought your best player was probably Peter Gulasci.

Your keeper was decent it was your overall distribution that let you down, you put some awful challenges in but suppose thats pearsons game
