Leeds vs The Saints Match thread

[Jerel Ifil]

Tell me more! Had any any really good ones this season?

We've seen five opposition players sent off in our last eight. We've also scored numerous late goals this season which have provoked a storm of righteous anger, like Darren Ferguson claiming we only got extra time "because they're Leeds", and Eddie Howe saying "it stopped being a game of football after that red card".

To be fair, we had decisions like that going against us all of last season, so it's hardly unfair that our bribery is paying off now.

Billy Sharp always scores against us!!!!

Best one we have had recently was Graham Scott, but some of the others have been a bit dire, they say it all evens out over the season, I am not convinced. My bit about being "hot about shirt tugging in the area", I just made that up, but Ricky is a frequent victim and it always goes unpunished!

Ricky always looks so strong and he gets no decisions, yet remains calm (apart from when he got the red card for trying to punch the ground and missed, accidently hitting the other player).

 

[Jerel Ifil]

He sounds like quite the opposite of our own topscorer, Mr McCormack, who's been known to take a tumble at the slightest contact.

 

[SAINTDON13]

You would be sensible to get one of your own sent off as we have an apalling record against ten men!

Neither of the two individuals that you mention have any respect from us either.

Rickie is an honest player, but we have a new Japanese striker who does seem to, shall we say "goes down easily". He may not start because he played for Japan during the week but if we're in need of a late penalty, then Nige will bring him on.

If brown plays it will be likely we will get a man sent off, hes a ****ing looney but I love it

Graham Salisbury was the worst ref I have ever seen and I saw Mark Clattenberg high five a barnsley player when they scored against us!!!

Last home game we scored in the 99th minute and I think we have scored over 10 goals in stoppage time this season, great stamina

You'll probably have to score that many in stoppage time this weekend.

Remember if Saints score first, you might as well pack up and go home. Stats are on our side. If you score first....doesn't bear thinking about.

 

[MarkoLUFC]

If you score first, stats aren't really on your side. We've won from losing positions more times than I can count.

 

[The-Don]

fran-MLs little camera it really doesnt bear thinking about for us either, last time we went ahead we lost 4-1!! and that was probably the best 60 minutes ive seen us play all season.

The stats are probably more in our favour if we go a goal behind

Better than Donny away?

 

[fran-MLs little camera]

So a team that usually win if they score first against a team that like to give a one goal headstart....interesting!

I hadn't even considered that. If it were to happen we may have to settle for a draw.

Id say we where better than Donny away yes, then that freak Zigic woke up

A team that usually win if they score first against a team that has a habit of winning after going behind...

People always ask why we complain about not spending any money after what happened to us, what's now happening to Rangers etc. but the fact is we could have conceivably had a team capable of winning this league comfortably without spending any more than we earn.

Bates is relying on people not realising this to keep the little man down. "I saved your club and everyone else is going bust so be happy with what you've got". He's turned a big club into a profit machine for his own ends, which is what FIFAs recommended 66% of your turnover on wages figure is there to prevent.
