I was talking about the match, asking people if the Hull fans would be up for it.
I've got a helluva journey back to the North East after this finishes, so it had better be worth it! Is Robbie Brady still a mercurial talent or has he got more consistent? He looked like the only danger at Elland Road.
Brady can be good, but will struggle to keep a place in my opinion.
One thing we seem to have developed is the ability to force other teams to change tactics, which has to be a compliment, but we seem to have also developed the ability to adapt ourselves to the changes. Love him or loath him, it's difficult to argue with Colins tactical and motivational skills.
All in all it's set to be a decent game. let's hope it doesn't disappoint.
Sorry, I'm quite fond of putting silly places in my location entry. I don't actually live in the Bahamas. Wish I did, mind. And before you ask, no, I'm not on holiday up here, and yes, I am from Leeds.
Luckily, it seems Warnock's been forced to play nice-looking football with the players we've got, since we've got a lack of big ****ers wot can 'oof it, which are probably his usual criteria for signing someone. Effective or not, it's not what I want to see from a Leeds team. Anyway, you can certainly force errors from Lees and O'Dea in the middle (as well as Pugh at left-back if he plays there) - the question is whether you have the personnel up front to do that.
And I'm sorry to say that I don't actually reside in the fictional land known as Itchycoo Park

Crazy!
For a minute I thought you were another "My uncle once flew over Leeds just as we were deciding what football team I should support, plus I once caught Rod Belfitt wiping his c oc k on my mother's bedroom curtains."

I think a wekness we've got, but one that we seem to be strengthening is that we can be bullied off the ball at times. Our defence tends to be rock solid, our forwards are just starting to find form. You seem to be a team that can score, but will leak. It surprised me that Southampton seemed content to invite you on after their goal. We do tend to push on if we get one.
Odd given what I've put there that I still reckon it'll be a tight game.
We might not be Hulls main rivals but we're certainly in the top 1 
Should be a cracker. We'll be going full on for the win as a point is nothing for us

Thats what i thought you were playing at 100% (when you can beat anyone) and lost?
There were a few Saints fans having a barney, and one of the Saints mods asked me to close the thread

I wouldn't say Warnock plays hoofball. He plays whatever is necessary to beat the team in front of him. Unfortunately, we are a team made up exclusively of relatively small players who benefit from playing good looking football. We're lacking flexibility. I'm sure QPR were far from a hoofball team last season. Hoofball would bypass Taraabt, and what would be the point in that?
Normally, I'd say that Leeds are the team most fans want to see us beat, but this season you're second to Leicester.
Neither are rivalries as such, we want to beat Leicester because their manager ****ed us about and several of their fans on here are twats. Leeds is a more long standing dislike and is more about all the East Yorkshire White ******s that we went to school with, rather than Leeds as a club.
Most of our recent rivalries haven't really been rivalries in the traditional sense, a few seasons ago, it was Arsenal.
Our historic ones, Grimsby, York, Lincoln etc have long since been forgotten.

Strange how forums can change your mind on a team, I never liked Sven but I did not care less about Leicester, they were splashing the cash and I thought it would only be a matter of time before they got promoted. Several weeks in and several of their fans on here were seriously doing my head in with their drivel in particular AKCJ. Now because of a few muppets on here I watch their results almost preying for them to get beat as much as I hope for a Leeds win.
And that isn't at all arrogant?
What I keep trying to say is you aren't the only side to have a decent game this season. We did the exact same thing with West Ham - 14 shots to their 2 but lost 2-0.
We're generally crap at chasing a lead (though we did manage it the other night). If we score early we tend to go on and win but if we go behind we tend to tanmely chase the game for ages and it finishes 1-0.
Is this the fixture that has the most 'buzz' about it for Hull fans?
I remember doing a poll on here a while back and 70% of Hull fans said Leeds were considered your biggest rivals, so I'm expecting a tigerish atmosphere from your sections.
Yes, we hate Leeds more than most other teams who aren't vile and no matter how much you pretend it is, it really isn't a compliment.
Bollocks.
The Leicester fans on here are indeed a set of tossers but it calmed down a bit recently after we put them in their place.
As far as the rivalry debate goes,i do see Leeds as our main rivals.I think most City fans do.But certainly not all.My dad actualy likes to see Leeds do well,for instance.It's clearly a matter of opininion between City fans.
You wouldn't see a Leeds fan say that though.It seems every one of you would see Manure as your rivals.But then iv'e always seen that as you bigging yourselves up.You can hang on to big club mentality if you claim utd as your biggest rivals.
You lot don't like Norwich either though do you ? Iv'e seen the bitter banter on these boards.You lose on that one too.So don't be so chuffed to hear me say you are my main rival.At least im being honest by having an equal,as my focus of dislike.
By the way,iv'e never even heard of the Istanbul chant.Though i know what it alludes to,and id never sink so low as to spout such bile.
LETS JUST HOPE IT'S A FAIR GAME AND THE BEST TEAM WINS

I don't care about Leeds Utd i just dislike Hull Whites.
If it means us stuffing you tomorrow in order to silence them then i'm all for it.

Good post, I also see them as our main rivals but not in a typical rivalry way like the big derbies (Manchester, North London, Tyne-Wear, etc.) because I knoe they dopn't hate us and it isn't just geographical, it's because they're a horrible club with horrible players!
As for a fair game, that's unlikely. With the news that Stuart Attwell is in charge the likes of Snodgrass will have a field day being the dirtiest player on the pitch and yet still awarding himself free kicks.
As for the Istanbul stuff, there's a good reason no one's heard it; it's complete nonsense.
See ! This is what i meant. Some of us do hate Leeds,some don't. Maybe most are just indifferent. The only thing we all agree on is,we want the three points. Desperately !!!
