Kid in the Riot Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 Not expecting another goalfest tonight. Rosler has really tightened Leeds up as their first few results demonstrate: 1-1, 1-1, 0-0. They had just 1 shot on target in their drab goalless draw at Reading, but on the flip side they've looked difficult to break down. Chris Wood will be leading the line, hopefully Flint can do a job on him - good test for Flint. Despite a fair amount of positivity after Saturday's performance I thought we looked porous at the back, Brentford looked capable of scoring on every attack. 11 v 11 personally I don't think we'd have neccessarily won - it could've finished 4 - 4. You know what to expect with Leeds, they're going to be a big, strong team. Our record against them last time we were in the C'ship was absolutely hopeless (played 6, lost 6). That said, I think the last time I saw Leeds at AG in a midweek game we beat them in the Coca Cola League Cup 2-1. Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink scored then got sent off. Leeds line-up that night included Martyn, Bowyer, Wetherall, Radebe and Alfe Inge Haaland! Was 1997 - Goodridge and oooo Shaun Taylor for us! 1-1 tonight. 1 Quote Link to comment

City to sneak it 2-1, maybe with a bit of luck like an OG or maybe a red card for LUFC! Hoping Wood can be tamed by Flint....I don't see him in the same quality bracket as Hoffman on Saturday, who although looked decent, was given too much time and respect. Last time I saw City play Leeds was one of the early games of 1979 season....2-2, they had a player sent off late on. Cue Leeds fans chasing City fans across Ashton Park....yes it was Leeds chasing us!! I was stood on my dads toolbox in the away end....lovely experience for a 9 year old!!!! Quote Link to comment

'Orns Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 Havana - is that true about Leeds being a Welsh speaking outpost? I love stuff like that, everyday is a school day. Unless you're lying, in which case you are a bastard I went 1-2 on the Yoshi competition, I'm in the doldrums, I see no reason to change that Unless Gray signs between now and then, in which case we'll lose 2-3. Defence worries me Quote Link to comment

'Orns Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 btw.. who punched Bobby Gould? John Charles, Gary Sprake, Ian Rush, Gary Speed, Bryan Flynn, Terry Yorath. I'm hoping it was little Bryan Flynn, and he sparked him out. That would be funny I'll go for Sprake though Quote Link to comment

'Orns Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 Sprake is correct Woodsy. I'm a bit too young (!) to remember him. Wasn't he prone to an error or 4? Quote Link to comment

havanatopia Posted August 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 Was he any relation to the Ian Rush who used to play for Liverpool? Thanks for the thread though. I know heh... Hard to believe but apparently he did actually play for Leeds. Welks squire. Quote Link to comment

Shtanley Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 Reid should start, hope we give the local lad a chance for once. Quote Link to comment
LostVillaFan Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 fair play havanatopia thats about the most amazing first post on any clubs thread I think Ive ever read. Hope you're right about Robinson. don't think Richardson's signed for you yet but Sunderland aren't interested. Quote Link to comment
PHILINFRANCE Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 I know heh... Hard to believe but apparently he did actually play for Leeds. Welks squire. Well, Well. I just checked on WIKI (not that I ever doubted you ), and I see that he played 42 games for Leeds in the late 1990's after leaving Liverpool. Quite amazing given their intense rivalry.

Done a quiz on the bbc the other day, I had completely forgotten Michael Owen had played for Stoke Rush I can remember at Leeds, weird huh? Quote Link to comment
Major Isewater Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 Done a quiz on the bbc the other day, I had completely forgotten Michael Owen had played for Stoke Rush I can remember at Leeds, weird huh? Yes , i can confirm that Owen was also injured for Stoke . 2 Quote Link to comment
East Yorkshire CideRed Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 For my sake (given that the missus is a Leeds Utd fan) I need a win tonight! 2-1 would do for me. Quote Link to comment
havanatopia Posted August 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 (edited) fair play havanatopia thats about the most amazing first post on any clubs thread I think Ive ever read. Hope you're right about Robinson. don't think Richardson's signed for you yet but Sunderland aren't interested. Absolutely right of course on my slip up; too late to amend it by the time I noticed ! Always thought highly of Richardson as it happens.. did he not play for Arsenal for a while? I seem to recall he did but never shined. Or am I making it up as I go along?! Thanks a lot for the compliments, much appreciated. Well, Well. I just checked on WIKI (not that I ever doubted you ), and I see that he played 42 games for Leeds in the late 1990's after leaving Liverpool. Quite amazing given their intense rivalry. Indeed.. apparently he was not much of a success which explains why few remember him playing for them; he was on a hiding to nothing really after what he achieved at Liverpool. Yes , i can confirm that Owen was also injured for Stoke . To coin an Owen phrase from the other day highlighted by a poster on OTIB my Stokie friend said; 'He did not look like a footballer when he played for us. I suppose meaning he was not much kop for them. How much game time did he actually get?! Edited August 19, 2015 by havanatopia Quote Link to comment
