Happy Friday 13th Everyone Anyone here superstitious? How does it effect you? We all recall Cellino's fear of the number 17; so much so he told Hockaday not to select Paddy Kenny as he was scared he would give the club bad luck having been born on the 17th of the month (May). Personally, I thought Kenny was axed because hekept stealing Chesh's food! As Many of you will know, The Don (Revie, not Moderator) was very superstitious. Some say he was obsessed with rituals and superstition. This was brought into the most high-profile focus in 1971 when the famously exhaustive and meticulous manager attempted to lift a curse believed to have been left on Elland Road by gypsies. “Gypsies used to live on Elland Road before it was a football ground,” said Revie “and I got this letter one day saying that there had been a curse put on the ground by the gypsies when they were moved off for it to become a football ground, and the only way I could get the curse removed was to get a practicing gypsy to come to the ground. So to cut a long story short, I sent a car to Blackpool to bring Gypsy Rose Lee to the ground. She shifted everybody from the ground except me, the office staff, the groundsman and the cleaning women. She went into the ground and stood in the middle of the pitch, scratched the grass and threw some seeds down, then went to each corner flag and did the same. Then she came to my office for a cup of tea and said ‘now you’ll start winning things’, and we did from that year on.” Who's looking forward to the game tonight? Villa are! Also, Jansson is out. Oh well, we are Leeds Utd!
Good Morning to Matt and co from a damp Bardsey Well at least we saw some sun at St Annes over the last 3 days How did the team play at Preston and who playwell.Who will play tonight in the back 4
Who’s sending a car to Millwall to bring a few back Morning all, I’ll be at the airport hotel tonight trying not to watch it but deep down I know I’ll be in the bar watching it and wondering why I bothered..
Will you stop prattling on about unimportant stuff! How is the wonderful Moe? Did the break do her good? Did you take her for a trip on the big Dipper in nearby Blackpool? Hope you are feeling better after the probing and prodding the other day?
We win tonight. I have wagered £20 on it at 12/1 by opening an account at betfair so got the special offer and also get a free £20 in the national as part of it......
Morning all Lots of talk about Liam Kitchen being brought back, but why as we have around 8 CBs in the U23 squad, so-called gems from Ajax, Barcelona etc. The only one missing is the big Finn who arrived in the Summer injured (Yes another one) I imagine fat Steve Bruce will be licking his fat lips about this match, yes we could surprise them but then that would surprise us too. Going to see some new faces tonight unless he puts Anita in as CB which wouldnt surprise me or even Felix with Dallas as sub keeper. Who knows who will start, who will be on the bench, who will be played out of position and who will be ignored. Thinking about carrying Ristacs bags to get away from this season myself.
Morning all. Tonights game is a nothing match for both clubs. Villa in the playoffs and realistically cant get second, Leeds firmly in the twilight zone
The wonderful Moe has been to see the doctor today and they have discovered an enormous hyhetal hernia which they think is making her struggle to breathe properly She f ound the sea air bracing a and I think it did both of us good We went to Fleetwood to the shopping centre to try and get my sister in law some boots I am feeling better now it takes it out of you having 4 tubes down ones throat thank you for asking
Morning all. Won't comment on tonight's game or the team or the management structure at ER will only get criticised and called names for giving negative comments
I take it you mean you've wagered £20 of their money on us to win @12/1. Now if you had wagered £20 of your own money I would be seriously worried about you. Let's face it we have zero chance and you know it, I know it, PH knows it and worst of all the players know it too. Ps...Why not wager the £240 you stand to win on Villa @ 1/2 and you'll make £120 ? Oh yeh forgot...those silly free bets have to be recycled about a billion times before they will let you withdraw it.
Good Morning Ell & all Another long day I fear Can't see anything but a defeat tbh. Hecky has been dealt a cruel blow with so many players unavailable to him even though the majority are distinctly average. I can't recall in all my 55 years following Leeds where we've had the whole of our recognised defence unavailable for a league match. The closest was probably in 1970 v Burnley when Eddie Gray scored two wonderful goals to win the game with a weakened team, even then we had Madeley & Harvey in our defence
The first bet is my cash. the free bet is on the national and if you win you can take the cash.. I fancy us to win.
