Because we have better players, are challenging for promotion and are a bigger club. We have a habit of beating bottom half teams, you have a habit of losing to top half teams and we are generally superb away from home. So everything pointed to 'Leeds win' today before our team took to the pitch. That's why Leeds should be beating Watford.
Today's result is disappointing, but I won't presumptuously lay the blame on anyone since I wasn't there. I hope others won't be doing either. My impression is that Clayton and Pugh need a few games together to form a real partnership in the middle of midfield.
As our old song At Elland Road Baht'at goes: "get two [three] at 'ome and one away (that'll do!)" Still not a great feeling to be outplayed by Watford though.
Don't hold your breath - you won't find us in such bad form in front of goal again, nor may you find such a generous ref.
And try not to be so bitter yourself - very unbecoming.
Yes you deserved to beat us today, you played well and we didn't show up, but there's a reason we're so far ahead of you in the table, and it's not luck.
It used to be Bucks, be interesting to see fans perspectives, whether they still see ER as a difficult place to go...

Been better elland, but quite happy with the draw after the way we played, watford were a yard quicker than us today, but if we play that badly again this season I will be surprised, we missed howsons energy today.
A bit much to expect some twats to understand irony and sarcasm eh BB? Funny how folk write what they see in the mirror at times.
Aint doing too bad considering the way we were raped (by cardiff ) in the close season
Barnsley 1 ipswich 0 is this the end of PJ

Hard to say - a lot can, and will, happen between now and the end of March. Even if things remain the same as they are now, I'd say at least the same as today. Played on today's values, we will have a very easy run up to that game - 3 matches against teams below us in which to build up a head of steam.
Watford 1-1 Leeds ***FT

Leeds are very very lucky boys today..don't think you will get any less deserved points all season.
We were all over you all game......and I'm bored of "we had an off day".....to be honest we defended really and played at such a high tempo that you couldn't play your game. That's how it is with quite a few teams...but apparently we're a poor team and every team that plays us has an off day.
The reason Leeds are higher is quite obvious from this game......we play good football and create lots of chances, but don't finish them. 3-0 to us would have been a fair reflection of the game, but Sordell has had some shocking misses in the last few games......
Ref was pretty dodgy, but got the two penalty decisions right.....shame as Nosworthy should know better than to kick someone in the head in the box.....
I think this is definitely the most disappointing result of the season so far, except for Brighton Leeds were the 2nd worst team to come to the Vic, but we gifted them the point.....only ourselves to blame.
Lots of respect for Deeney and Hogg....they run tirelessly all game and I think they should both be the first names on the teamsheet.

Leicester as near to relegation as they are to autos!
Thats hilarious, do you think we should (out of curtosy) let them know ???
Yup and you werent lucky but I think we need a bit of luck after the crap we have had to deal with in the past few years, and the reason leeds are higher than you is simple, we are 10 points better off and the table does not lie !!!!!! so do me a favour and have a word with yourself.
