Septic Peg Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 Hello fellow City comrades. It's been a while since I headed up a MDT (one abbreviation for you @Robbored) but unfortunately Hav is otherwise indisposed so here I am! He asked me to focus on Leeds players. (No, I don't mean the male cast of Emmerdale, falling out of clubs and women quicker than Mcindoe with a creditor), I of course mean Leeds United players. So one from the present day. Mr Luke "pint pissing" Ayling. No intro needed here. He was one of our rejects that LJ sent away for a rumoured £750k. We got Adam Matthews in replacement... Lanky Lukey has done well for himself at Elland Road, or at least he did. Bargain of the century they said. Best RB in the champ they said. Yet, recently he has begun to fall afoul of the Marching on Together crowd. Losing his mark, dropping too far forward and leaving the CB to cover opens up the Leeds defence... however, when signing a contract extension earlier this week, the Leeds fans were once again all over him like a seagull on a dropped kebab. I'm sure he'll get some applause/boos from the corners of AG today... And now one from the past. Peter Lorimer was one of those few Scots that "made it" into English football. Voted 9th greatest Leeds player of all time, he eventually became a director at the club and now is club ambassador (Tins is ours so that should give you some idea of how much he is held in esteem up in Yorkshire). Peter also holds both the youngest player record as well as 2 goalscoring records at Leeds. He was a wee nipper aged just 15 and 289 days when he went up against full grown men for Leeds v Southampton back in 1962. His record goalscorer award stands at 238 goals over a total of 14 years. Not bad at all for an midfielder. The other record he also holds is that of highest league goals in aggregate, a total of 168. So, today. Leeds have struggled recently but should not be underestimated. They also traditionally don't do well at AG but until recently, we didn't do well at Reading or Ipswich... I'd like to think a draw but my guts say Leeds will come out and give us a pasting just because... fingers crossed Fam can take Pontus out asap... Come on you Reds!

steviestevieneville Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 If my memory serves me right apart from last season they’ve won every game at AG since we came back up under GJ , please correct me if I’m wrong . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pongo88 Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 Good post @Septic Peg but I’ve got to add one extra Leeds player from the past - Terry Cooper. Though past his prime (aren’t we all?) when he joined City as a player, he was still skilful. His subsequent days as player manager / manager in the dark days of division 4 was even better.

wendyredredrobin Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 Bookies were giving evens on a draw when i last looked. A noisey crowd can be worth an extra goal so shout and sing as much as you can for a one goal city victory. Definitely a season defining game for me.

Offside Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 Looking forward to this game. After Bolton and Burton came to park the bus it'll be interesting to see how we fare against a team near us in the league who presumably will be aiming for 3 points.

EstoniaTallinnRed Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 I think it's going to be a close game today and as others have said could be won by the odd goal, but who knows City could have a field day (I hope) if not then a draw is the more likely result. Still all of you going, cheer the lads on to a great victory, which will give them more confidence than they have already. COYR's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samo II Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 Too many Leeds fans in my office for us to lose this - hoping we can at the very least hold them, or even use or extra bit of rest & Leeds’ bad run to nick all the points.

megansdad Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 Norman Hunter showed his real class when he made the move to AG - hard as nails but also skillful and what a free kick he used to deliver.
