Leeds v Sunderland

[claret wizard]

Leeds win, draw, Sunderland win, all results could be argued to be good for us.

The reality is that we’re virtually guaranteed a play off spot so a Sunderland win would keep automatic promotion closest.

[ElectroClaret]

Draw for me.
A Sunderland win means they go level on points with us, draw means both
miss out on two points which could be vital, for them and us.

Still, we'll just have to work round whatever happens.

Agreed, Sunderland win is best

[Milltown1882]

Draw keeps Sheff U and Leeds the same distance ahead before we go first on Friday.

Might all be irrelevant anyway if we continue to absolutely adore a 0-0.

[ClaretLoup]

Draw is best result for us, as only two points are dished out instead of three.

Our fate is in our own hands atm.

[She]

Come on Sunderland

[beddie]

Warnock does talk some shi-e. “It’s like a religion there at Leeds”.

He also said that Burnley fans go home after a goal, because they know they aren’t going to score any more.

I said exactly the same thing!! This commentary is going to be an absolute wa**fest of sh1te!!

He’s great value as a pundit. Very entertaining to listen to.

We live rent free in his head.

[chekhov]

Sunderland win for me!

[jos]

Fast start

[Milltown1882]

Chance would be a fine thing

[Milltown1882]

We live rent free in his head.

He’d have been a class manager for us

[agreenwood]

Like a basketball game so far.

[bobinho]

It is. Sadly, we play like we are relying on others…

[Tricky Trevor]

Was that DL fans chanting “stand up if you beat Milan”?
That was 1999, I think. What a dreadful 25 years they’ve had.

No it isn't, we need Leeds or Sheffield United to drop points.

[Cheshireclaret]

I note that they have been allocated a Premier League referee in Stuart Attwell, albeit the original referee scheduled for this was Craig Pawson (also a Premier League referee) and he was dropped at the last minute because he is supposedly a Sheffield United fan.

Two questions arise :-

1. How can the EFL make such a ridiculous appointment as Craig Pawson in the first place if that is indeed his allegiance?

2. Why do these 2 get allocated Premier League referees (ignoring anyone's views on them both) for a televised game, yet we get a man for the 4th occasion this season who isn't fit to referee an u7's game, never mind a game at the second highest level of professional football in England?

I cannot fathom why Kitchen was given our game on Saturday - it's a televised local derby and they give us a referee who is, quite simply, not up to the job.

[Milltown1882]

No it isn't, we need Leeds or Sheffield United to drop points.

Teams not drop points if they draw in this game?

[Milltown1882]

1-0 Sunderland

[Burnley Ace]

30 mins in Leeds one nil down and they haven’t had a shot on target.

[Stonehouse]

Sunderland winning

[Cheshireclaret]

Ampadu should have conceded the penalty instead of letting him get his shot away, we all know how that ends.................

[Spijed]

tay like this and we could be within point come late Friday evening if we do our bit

[chekhov]

Really terrific finish that was. Good old-fashioned centre forward play!

[BOYSIE31]

Wish we had him - cracking striker

[ElectroClaret]

Very well taken.

[Stonehouse]

If we cant go up I hope its anyone apart from bastards and DL’s ,hate the entitled ***** with a passion.

[Conroysleftfoot]

Teams not drop points if they draw in this game?

Even if Leeds lose this game they are still 4 points ahead of us with a vastly superior goal difference. Sheffield United are currently 5 points ahead and ,even if we beat them, would still be 2 points in front.

[RVclaret]

Proper striker Isidor, reckon he’d do well in the Prem.

[claret wizard]

Even if Leeds lose this game they are still 4 points ahead of us with a vastly superior goal difference. Sheffield United are currently 5 points ahead and ,even if we beat them, would still be 2 points in front.

But Leeds and Sheff U have to play each other so one of them will drop at least 3 points or both of them 2. That brings it all a lot closer.

[CoolClaret]

Proper striker Isidor, reckon he’d do well in the Prem.

As long as he's not on spot kicks...

Agreed though, looks like he could kick on.

[Conroysleftfoot]

Yes, but don't forget we still have in win.

[alwaysaclaret]

Only till Leeds play though, yes I know their next game is v sheff utd. Best result tonight is a draw, neither gets the 3 pts

[Rileybobs]

Joe Rodon is a penis.

[Stonehouse]

How good is Bellingham?

[agreenwood]

Why is Isador booked there and not O’Nien or Rodon?

[me01jh]

Why is Isador booked there and not O’Nien or Rodon?

Absolute head scratcher... O'nien loves a bit of ****housery and Rodon appeared to be just as aggressive.

[Goliath]

Genuinely think Sunderland are the best side in the league. Out of the other 3 we are set up the best but lack the quality of the others going forwards which will probably cost us.

[Taffy on the wing]

Warnock does talk some shi-e. “It’s like a religion there at Leeds”.

We have to suffer him as an analyst on premier league coverage.......not all the time thankfully!
Knobhead.

[warksclaret]

Going to make a prediction -Leeds will have made two subs by the 50th minute which will prove pivotal

[Ric_C]

Rodon pushes o'nein over then moves his head towards Isidor... Result Isidor booked

[Stonehouse]

Only till Leeds play though, yes I know their next game is v sheff utd. Best result tonight is a draw, neither gets the 3 pts

Got to be a win for the Makems ,if we match their results we stay above them so every point that DL’s drop has got to be better for us.

[RVclaret]

Genuinely think Sunderland are the best side in the league. Out of the other 3 we are set up the best but lack the quality of the others going forwards which will probably cost us.

I think Edwards has the potential to bring us closer.

[chekhov]

Why is Isador booked there and not O’Nien or Rodon?

To be fair to O’Nien he didn’t do anything that would justify a booking. Rodon yes probably.

[Spijed]

Genuinely think Sunderland are the best side in the league. Out of the other 3 we are set up the best but lack the quality of the others going forwards which will probably cost us.

Although they look very suspect at the back when put under pressure, as was the case against Plymouth & Watford at home recently.

[Goliath]

I think Edwards has the potential to bring us closer.

Yep with Benson as an impact sub, let's hope it's not too late.

[Stonehouse]

Couldn’t agree more and watching these 2 playing tonight they’re both a lot more dynamic than us and Sheff Utd ,may be our best chance of us getting promoted is if they both go up and we bore everyone to death and win the playoffs.
