    It was pretty funny seeing as we were a division below you at the time. My mate said he's never laughed as much at how poor an away following's been at Elland Road as that evening.

    More importantly though, as you said, our record against bottom half teams is excellent, especially at home.

    Away to a lower league club, in a match where both sides were likely to field a weakened team, midweek, in a competition neither club has ever really cared about. He might well have been right.

    Very true.

    I suppose stats can be interpreted either way though. If we do win (and before you get the wrong idea, I make you favourites), we just might become part of the group that are still in the hunt for a promotion place, thus making your form against promotion chasers even worse.

    I have to agree with Ak, home win. Leeds are due a win at home and we do badly against teams on poor runs (Coventry this year, Peterborough last and Plymouth and Peterborough the year the Pilgrims went down)

    I guess 1-1 with us getting an undeserved point from a penalty in time added on ;)

    Hmm, that reminds me of a game that happened earlier in the season but I can't pinpoint which one

    Given our luck with referees against more fancied clubs, I guess it will be something closer to:

    If an unnamed chairman believes he can get away with a tractor on the pitch, he'd use it. Can't cost any more than electric fences.

    No

    You must have so many supporters who could make a thread. After everything Leeds United are a big club with vast support. Even here, http://www.leeds.is/

    1-3 to the Golden Boys. Colin can shuffle off into managerial obscurity.

    Realistically we need to win this game and I think we will. A hard fought win by 1 or 2 goals.

    Damn.

    Looking at the likely defenders, you'd have to say that Lloydinho is likely to make the occasional forward run ;)

    I would pick him tomorrow, personally. His crossing would go a little bit towards mitigating the loss of Alex, and he has scored all of his professional goals at Elland Road.

    We know that Lonergan can't study where our penalty taker puts his kicks as we don't know who our taker is as we haven't had a pen since Sordell left for Bolton's subs bench.

    Even if it gets put down the middle he'll save it.
