No worries southern sweetie I take interest in my opponents thats all love, have a sweepstake at work on attendances thats y I checked your attendances, I think we r talking 27, 268 people? We sold out the original allocation of 3000 n then got given more tickets so should sell them in the next day or two
Having the highest gate for (what was it?) 14 clubs in the div, is a pretty good indicator for the attraction of Leeds and their support...and their eternal panto villainy. But we probably won't be another attendance conquest - ugggh imagine!? Also underestimation was rightfully deemed the theme of the thread earlier; funny that despite all the underestimating everyone's been conversely conservative enough not to predict 3-0, 0-3, 4-0, 0-4, or suchlike...but it would be sweet to subject a capitive audience from Leeds to a right horrorshow on Sat
Thing that makes me laugh reading this thread is i keep hearing we've got howson and we've got snodgrass and gradel who not even a tank could possibly stop because they're sooooooo good but what i'm failing to see from any of the leeds fans is any respect or knowledge about any of southamptons players i.e lallana,chamberlain,lambert,connolly (who is on fire) oh and jack cork,but wait a minute he can't possibly have a good game against leeds because he didn't play well when burnley played leeds last season (that's gotta be the best line i've heard) Carry on leeds and just think about how good you are because that suits us but maybe just maybe after saturday you might be talking about how good some of southamptons players are.Oh and also don't forget you aren't playing woking town,you are playing a good spirited hard working team who give everything so don't be so disrespectful to our players because it'll come back to bite you on the arse!
Said the arrogant fan of the club that just came up from League One to the fans of the club that had to deal with the step up last season under similar circumstances. You've done the exact same thing with your players, you think all your players are going to completely dominate the game when it's been agreed that we have more quality in practically every position, and we are also settled in the league. It's also entirely true. Unless your defense is the best in the league (by a decent margin, too) then I doubt you'll keep all of our attacking players quiet, if any.
Big difference, your players did well in League 1. Your lot keep on about how you'll storm the league because that's what you did in League 1. And you keep going on about how Snodgrass and Howson didn't play well agains you 2 years ago! The fact is we can only rave about Lallana etc. when they do something this season, doing well in a lower division means nothing after the step up, it's how the players do afterwards.
where?! you lot keep saying your left back position is weak. if that is true, either chamberlain or de ridder will rape your left side. good luck with that
lallana has already proven himself in the championship. several posters have already said this. seems you cant read very well.
Even if it's true that Southampton won't be playing Chamberlain, they still have a firepower of Connolly, Lambert, Lallana and De Ridder which isn't far off the quality of the one we'll be playing minus Becchio. I do think our defence will be stronger than theirs and it looks like both teams are pretty weak in the full-back positions (with the exception of Paul Connolly who I think will turn in a solid performance as per). Perhaps that gives us the edge. The central midfields look pretty equal to me, it's going to be a tight one and their passing game shouldn't be underestimated.
practically every position. The arrogance has shown it's ugly head as you seem to think your defense won't have much trouble keeping our attacking players quiet. Good luck with that, the majority of teams last season failed to do that.
Ahahahahaahahaaa I can't believe you accused him of being arrogant and then said that!? I really can't wait to see what this thread looks like after the match
Fine then, I apologise, you're going to come up from League 1 and walk the division because you finished 2nd in the league below last season and how dare we even think about disrespecting your amazing players who are guaranteed to be the best in the league and are twice as good as ours because League 1 and the Chamionship are exactly the same. Cardiff, Nottm Forest, Reading, WHU, Birmingham, Leicester vs. Carlisle, Charlton, Leyton Orient, Huddersfield, Bournemouth, Yeovil, what's the difference?
