    Well I'm a little late in wading in with an opinion from yesterday, but I've not enjoyed a match that much without being in a stadium for a long time!

    From being over the moon that we have a great keeper, to screaming at Gradel through the screen, I thought it was a great game.

    We finally have central midfielders that don't vanish for 2/3's of the match - we'd have played a lot worse with Killa/BJ in there!
    Snodgrass looked class, even though we didn't have quality to match ahead of him.
    Clayton is the best player we've had in a long time.
    White could well be what we've been waiting for. Whilst he grows into the team, his pace can cover up any cracks in his defensive game.
    Still a little worried about Kissa/O'Dea at the back, but it's better than Bruce/O'B/Collins!

    Great game, imagine what we could do with the plethora of strikers the hammers had to chose from?!

    Only players I'd take from "the best team in the league" were Taylor, Cole and Parker.

    Also, did anyone else notice that Sky Sports were completely pro-Leeds. Even some of our worse play/defending had excuses made for it!

    Finally, the fans sounded great - never stopped singing and made a massive difference and Clayton rewarded them!

    Great match for the spectators and will definitely take the point.

    MOT!!

    "this year is our year"

    Playing like we did yesterday we'll get top 6. We also played like that on tuesday and made mugs out of Hull.

    Despite our last two games we still concede far too many goals and we are VERY short on cover. I still think mid table is best we will achieve...

    We're showing no real signs of slowing down on the scoring goals front, however. We still have an extremely potent attack force and it's showing itself to be very deadly again, and we have so many amazing quality options it's untrue. I don't for a second believe once the momentum picks up that we won't be banging them in for fun. It took until the third game to really get going last season as well.

    We're only four games in, lets see where we are after ten games, at the moment we're looking good

    The only time we've really played badly this season was against Saints. If we play every game like we did yestarday we're nalied on for auto. We won't obviously but the early signs are good <ok>. Still a bit worried that Brown getting injured practically forced us into 4-4-2, whether we'd have played it anyway or not, need another CM.

    We were robbed against 'Boro by the referee, beat Hull 4-1 then drew away at the league favourites despite deserving a win.

    Why is a Liverpool fan so interested in Leeds United?

    Surely you should be getting ready for your sides Champions League campaign! OOOOOOPS!

    He's not a Liverpool fan apparently, just a wind-up nonce who goes round various boards pretending to be one and trying to provoke a reaction. He's best left ignored. Will take action against him if he keeps being a tit.

    Aided by our keeper, who's currently under investigation(we think he might be a Leeds fan) :emoticon-0120-doh:

    hah your keeper had good moments and terrible moments, he wasn't really helpful for you. Although we did totally outclass you.

    I've just heard that we're binning him, we've asked Liverpool to take him back and loan him to someone else and we're bringing in a Premier League keeper.
