Might not be for much longer if Villa turn us over. Really don't care about the Liverpool game, it's a distraction we could do without. Just hope we don't get embarrassed. The scousers don't take their foot off the gas when a game is won. Lots of proper spanking have been dished out to clubs from lower leagues in recent times.
Love it Glory's targeting safety already to be fair though safety first, then cash for league position in the table and then hopefully play off cash. Just makes a nice change that we are openly in with a chance of play offs this season. Usually we are hoping to stop the rot and talking about targets for transfer window, expecting 13th in the table at best
looking at how tight the table is I would take 13th right now... Chesh is going to be paying out again in may!
By the same token we'll have a dodgy keeper of our own in goal whether it's Green or Silvestri Not exactly a Nigel Martyn are they?
OMFG, my boss has just given me a Liverpool - Leeds ticket for tomorrows game (and in a box)... Can't believe it!!!!!!!!!!
Tomorrow cant come soon enough....be great to get a result there but I cant see it. As long as we don't disgrace ourselves and get a good hiding then all is good. Just hoping for a good day out and a decent atmosphere.
With respects to every ones opinion/s, I don't understand why we aren't treating cup games as important as league games, it's all football and they're all games to win with rewards at the end. Fielding second string teams is same as throwing a game imo, Prem teams are good at it cos they believe Europe is better and more rewarding financially, well, if they think that they should eff off to Europe and leave the British game to those clubs who want to play and fight for everything. If we keep going down same track as the prem teams in cup games then we're also contributing to ruining the British game, we should be entering a cup game cos we're in it to win it, it's silverware in the cupboard; remember silverware? the shiney cup looking thingies that Don Revie and his players played and fought for every game, and we won a few back then for those that have forgotten. We also created the most feared team in Europe and a few of our own football legends along the way, that was real football with real players and real attitudes. If we don't care about cup games, fans, coaches and owners alike, then we may as well write to the FA/FL and tell'em we're not entering their cup competitions cos we don't believe them to be that important. Will we have the same attitude as the prem teams and just want European football, and say fook the British comps cos they're just training matches to give a few reserves and fringe players a few games a year. Doesn't matter who we play, or in what comp, we should be going out to win every match for the club and supporters.
LeedsLover all of us would agree with you, except: If Pontus gets injured and Bartley gets sent off, or Wood is hurt ....... How do we replace these players in crucial league matches, which could mean we loase 5 on the bounce whilst waiting for them. By then the season is over and we are fighting for mid table. Yes if we field a full team and they all come through thats great, but face facts/odds. We will be unlikely to win so risking injuries is a gamble on a match which isnt important. Important only to the clubs finance director and becomes important to the fans if we reached the final.
Elland can you ring your boss mate, seems something has cropped up? Crap I hope he isnt subbing you so that you can go take some smelly old bird around one of your squats.
To save embarrassment for you we will be playing in blue or white. They will be in red. #corperateplastic
Evening all. An opportunity for Jansson to get back to full fitness. Also an opportunity for a couple of squad players to show what they can do. Can't see us winning because their bench would come on to ensure we didn't win. So if we can get a couple of goals, I'd consider it a good night unless we get turned over badly
So Jackett Leaves Rotherham after only 5 games, so Monk does away with yet another manager after being beaten by him. Klopp will be forced out tomoz night too
Full squad and a scouser scalp sounds good , a cup win will take the march to Europe ... been a while eh
