Well as no-one else seemed bottomed to do it, this is it, the Match Day thread. It’s us against somebody else tomorrow, or could be today depending upon when you’re reading this. Where I hear someone say? Well if you don’t know that should you really be on this site? When someone else shouts, again, as I used to say to my kids, I don’t answer stupid questions. If you genuinely don’t know when or where, then go and find out for yourself and stop expecting everyone to run around after you. Will Slim Jim start? How on earth am I supposed to know? Wait like everyone else until Rafa issues the team list. What’s the score going to be? Again guess for yourself, I’m not spoon feeding a bunch of lazy Audi and/or BMW drivers or Manc supporters or Mackem turncoats etc...
Slim Jim’s in the squad finally so we’ll no doubt see him in the 82nd minute We need to build on our last game and get this one in the bag as well. I’m going for 3-1 to the Toon.
If we think we can get aerial crosses in to penalty area against Huddersfield then start Slimani. If we are more likely to supply the ball on the ground then pick Gayle. Cautiously confident we will get 3 points.
Serious questions need to be asked of the PGMOL Why a West Yorkshire ref is allowed to ref a west yorkshire team Even if the ref supports Leeds They are Uddersfields rivals It's a bit like letting Michael Oliver reffing the makems and Jonathon Moss ref us If we win it's going to be contentious and if they win it's going to be the Yorkshire buddies act so he can't win either way unless it's a draw Mike Riley at his best here Useless twat
Now that Groot has done the match day thread again a win is on the cards. He thought we couldn’t be “bottomed” to do it - but never change a winning match thread maker. Slimani to aggravate his injury during the warm up and Perez with a couple. 2-0. PS It is interesting that his spell check changed bothered to bottomed. Suggest he types the latter frequently on his phone.
This game is massive for both clubs, so yeah, probably a draw The last few games have been a breath of fresh air. We have played some outstanding football in spells, in no small part down to the arrival of Kenedy. I think Rafa has loosened up the reigns on them as well, so while we are still compact, we are commit more in attack. I live in boro now (I know, it's getting worse). Hoping we stay up and they get promoted.
This is not the way Match Day Threads should be. There is 'literally' no information of any use. Perhaps this is why the internet was invented, so that no information and bewilderment could be passed on to everyone who knew very little anyway.
Seriously if we win this we are safe this season so it’s the biggest game of the season for me. Anyone post any links as I’m having some beers and watching it.
