Yes I think there's quite a lot of humble pie still waiting to be eaten regarding young Alex and not by Leeds supporters (never mind his dad and the 5-3-2).
Think Leeds are really in for it going on todays performance, if i was a serious betting man would be backing us on v them
We played well today, it's just that Cardiff took a world-class free-kick and we gave away a silly penalty. In terms of chances and play, I thought we comfortably matched them. Hull at Elland Road should be a win for us. Anything else is a disappointment.

Hmmm, I thought they took an awful lot of speculative shots which had no chance of going in (at least five of 'em), and we were very dangerous from the wings with Byram especially whipping a lot of crosses across the face of goal. It says a lot about the game that all goals were settled through set pieces. Yes, they had a lot of the ball among their midfield and defence, but territorially, we matched them from what I saw (which was admittedly half blocked by the fat-headed bloke in front of me in my local which was illegally streaming it ). But they're an expensive side with a good manager, they will take wins like that regularly, and I fully expect a result from the Whites against Hull. Not to disrespect your team (well, OK, to disrespect it a bit), I hardly picture you as major promotion contenders.
Amazing how different your interpretation of the Cardiff v Leeds game was to your fellow supporters and the BBC. I think I know who I believe.
That's fine, I don't mind. I just offered my own perspective rather than pandering to the majority view. I don't rate our team as even top-half finishers this season, but I do think we'll get off to a strong start and have a good home record. Hence why I think we can use the Cardiff semi-momentum to get a result against your own XI.
Wish we had fans that flew over from the States and Australia once or twice a season to see Hull City play that would be very cool indeed
Last year we said the same thing, and also the time we played there in December 2006 when we drew 0-0 that was supposed to be a great opportunity to beat them, as we had just hammered Cardiff 4-1 and Leeds were out of form. Fact is, however much they like to go on about not caring about little Hull and their massiove rivalries with Man U, Barca and Real, Leeds do always raise their game to play us. Not allowed any more. It stopped a while ago and whilst I believe it will be back one day, that day has not yet come. No one does, and it seems to be based solely on the whole 'big club' factor. Loads of neutrals had Leeds in their predictions to go up based on god knows what. I mean last year you finished 14th (was it?) lost key players and replaced them with cheaper, not exactly big-name signings. The Warnock factor is literally the only thing about Leeds that makes me think they might do well, but people seem to put them in their top 2 based on the name. On the other hand, we also have a big name manager with a good track record, but who has spent a bit of money on very good players adding to what was already very close to being a promotion team. Of the 4 games I've seen this season, we've been the better side in all of them and by all accounts, we outplayed Charlton in the other match we've played. Tell me, why would we suddenly be no longer a threat?
Because he's actually a **** manager, Barmby got an average team into a better place than they should have been, and your signings don't look too inspiring to the neutral.
Well your in luck, when NW walks cos dribbly beard wont give him any money for players then you can get Barmby to be your manager cos he is out of work right now and he will be cheap so uncle Ken will like that as well
Based on what he's done here so far he really isn't. Our signings have been quality, proven players. Faye, Quinn, Elmohamady and Aluko are some of the best players in the division in their respective positions. One of the few better defenders than Faye is Chester. Seriously, you really underestimate us.
Will we have the pleasure of your company on here if our average team beats the players of your huge club on Tuesday?
So you're telling me you wouldn't be happy with players such as Aluko, Faye, Elmohamady, Quinn and a reborn Simpson? I think most of the teams in the Championship would be happy with those players. On the evidence of what we've produced so far this season we look good enough to mount a promotion challenge and our points total looks impressive so far considering the teams we've played. It might take a good return from Tuesday's game and then Leicester on Sunday for people to sit up and take notice but I bet it will still be considered as a flash in the pan and we'll fade away. Until the next international break we have Leeds, Leicester, Blackpool and the Wendies to play and I think this will be a good test for our credentials as promotion challengers.
