COYRs!

 

 

You could be disappointed, the uglier we make this game the better we will come out of it.

I bet Huddersfield and Brentford didn't play very pretty football to get a draw from Leeds.

We need a rock solid 5 man midfield to shut them down and frustrate them,they'll be looking for a result after 2 league draws, if we make it nasty earlier on they might just get sloppy enough for Lambert or Connolly to sneak 1.

An hour to go at work here in Leeds, then I'm off to the game. Word from the locals is they're not too confident. I, however, for some unfathomable reason, am. COYR.

Thanks,

 

Damn, I will have bitten my nails down to my ankles by the time it finally comes around. When I nearly poured boiling water into my cereal bowl rather than my coffee cup this morning I knew my mind would only be on one thing today....

 

 

...The match that is before anyone implies anything else :p

Why does everyone think they're much better than us? I bet they're not and they're not in good form.

 

We should go there and look to give them a damn good thrashing.

Had my first crucial txt updates of the day.

 

It's cold

There is a pub in Leeds that sells Old Speckled Hen.

 

Don't think he's gonna trouble Motty's career record then.

 

Looking forward to this in a jet lagged sort of way, but facing a crucial pre-match selection problem. Tsing Tao or Strongbow? Probably go for Strongbow & Ice just to wind up the opposition with it being so cold.

 

Oh FYI last year we actually DID have snow just up the road on the mountains....

 

The pictures of the locals in their dish-dashes and sandals wading through it and all the 4x4's getting stuck was a true ROFL

One & only time I went to Leeds was the LC semi first leg, it was sub zero that night and snow everywhere as well.

Tough call, but a repeat of that draw would be a great result, hope I can stay awake until 7pm local time today

 

I was at that one :-) came back from 2 down courtesy of Stevie Williams I think, Leeds fans very unhappy as they had expected to walk it. Went up there with 3 mates in my Vauxhall Chevette with a dying battery, thick snow on the ground, had to bump start it in a street near Elland Rd to get home - passing Leeds supporters offered no help but a lot of comments about our parentage. It got a bit hairy as I recall.

 

2nd leg at the dell (Curran Strikes - Wembly Now! - was the headline in the Echo - still got it somewhere) Leeds fans ripping up timber from the old stands and hurling them at us is about all i remeber of the game apart from the goal.

 

Can't wait for the game - Come on Saints! - it's winnnable

Not just snow on the ground, I recall driving through what seemed like a blizzard, my old Mk3 Cortina GT was struggling to keep the white stuff off the windscreen. Me and 3 mates drove up from Reading, ****ing cold in the open corner, great game (I think) and horrible journey back but made better by a swift pint or 2 in Wakefield?). Hope everyone gets there and back safely today, and we grab 3 points.

Bialkowski, Thomas, Perry, Jaidi, Harding, James, Hammond, Papa Waigo, Lallana, Lambert, Connolly. Subs: Davis, Trotman, Mills, Wotton, Gobern, Mellis, Antonio.

 

From OS.

 

Probably line up something like

 

-------------Bart------------

Thomas--Perry--Jaidi--Harding

--------James--Hammond----

Waigo-----------------Lallana

------Lambert--Connolly------

 

Not entirely sure that this is our best team, and our bench looks incredibly lightweight. No sign of another striker on the bench either....suddenly i'm not very confident about today.

Out of interest what striker would you have put on the bench? We are playing 4 strikers (including Waigo and Lallana), and have Antonio on the bench. The only other options are Saga, who has not been used for ages and is not in the plans) and Paterson. To me the bench looks about as strong as we could muster, most of the players have played quite regularly, except perhaps Gobern. Does illustrate that we need another top class striker brought in during Jan though.

We're going to miss Morgan today.If he was playing i'd be more confident

 

James (whilst not as good) is still able to pass the ball very well. He will do fine in CM, as he proved earlier in the season.

Nope, but never do until a few minutes before kick-off.

 

So, this guff about commentary beginning 30 minutes (or is it 60 minutes?) before kick-off only applies to home games? Or was that the situation in the past before they changed over to Saints Player?

 

Whatever, it's very annoying!

That only happened before Saintsplayer. We are paying much more money for a much inferior service.
