Leeds v Manchester United, League Cup 3rd Round

Link

 

My original statement was that we officially have the best away support in the country. No-one's done anything to disprove that. Anyway, like Skylarker says, this isn't a dick-measuring contest, I was just explaining to MUFCOK why I'm not 'watching my team' this afternoon.

 

lol i dont think its something that is a FACT as such more an opinion and my opinion is that we are the best

 

Anyway on a brighter note - Chelsea are struggling against Norwich

 

Whats the score?

 

1-1

10 mins to play.

 

Go on Norwich

 

Jinxed it - Red card Norwich keeper. Pen Chelsea!

2-1 Chelsea

 

damn it, i shouldnt have said anythin

 

I'll take the blame as i mentioned it first!

Hope Liverpool win the title this year. Best of luck.

 

Sounds like an accurate predo. I'll go stick a ton on at Paddy Power

I'm not making that bet mate, I'm not that stupid!

 

Paynter to get a hat-trick and go some way to earning his wages for the last year. (Man Ure don't rate him so wouldn't bother marking him!)

At least Alex Furguson will be in shouting distance of the fans..... Might book a ticket behind the dug-out just for the **** he's gonna get!

 

He probably will get ripped to shreds by Snodgrass and Gradel... they are very very good and Premier League bound one way or another.

I was taking a jab at your arrogance - while we are obviously at a disadvantage quality wise across most of the pitch, our wingers are our best players and will be able to at the very least match your full backs. You're forgetting we've seen both our wingers run rings around players of the sort of quality we're expecting you to put out. We played Arsenal last season and (lack of killer instinct aside) there's no arguing they have quality players. Gradel and Snodgrass made mugs of their fullbacks and (at times) their centrebacks.

So what makes you so sure they won't do the same to yours?

 

I wouldn't bet on Paynter scoring three penalties not alone three open play goals. They can afford to leave him through one on one with their keeper and he wouldn't score

 

Anybody? No? Dust?

 

Seriously Leeds fans, you beat us a few years back and thats all fine and dandy but do you seriously expect to win again? I am not saying you wont but each of your players will know Fergie will want to make sure lightening doesnt strike twice and I can see Leeds taking a good beating this time round.

Either way its the tie of the round and will be a cracker!

 

A mix of both will take to the field.

 

Didn't see that one first time round.

I reckon it'll be similar to the FA Cup in 2010. We'll play a mix of squad players, youngsters and some senior players. I'd expect some of our current absentees like Fletcher, Valencia, Vidic and Rafael may be included if ready to help them with their recovery, and some of Pogba, Morrison, Amos, Macheda and Diouf will also likely be in the squad and maybe even starting. There's always a chance SAF will take the defeat a couple of years ago personally and put out a full strength side to try and give you a good hiding. But given the game is sandwiched between two CL midweek fixtures and games against Chelsea at home and Stoke away I think it will be a fairly low priority.

We should still have enough quality to win the tie, although I doubt it will be a convincing victory given how up for the game Leeds will be and how little our big players seem to care about the CC. And of course, as we found out in 2010, if our players take the game lightly there's a strong chance we'll be embarrassed again.
