[paddy parrott]

Come on Leeds United.

[BlackHillsPaul]

Welcome Doodles ! At last, we've got some more good footballing eyes on the game !

Doodles?

Think I'll just take the compliment and move along now.

7 minutes before kick off and no changes to the line up that didn't show up against Coventry.
Thought Gnonto would at least come in for James. Joseph deserves a start ahead of Bamford.
Massive game for the whites......

You totally don't get PB at all do you.

You state ALL these things above, and you know that DF played up front himself yes ? You have noticed how DF has asked the team to play differently recently yes ? ( I doubt you have actually)

Ok, i'll stick my neck out now, before the match starts - DF will go and push all his lines up tonight, the 3 behind PB will be right there to support not just him, but to get into gaps HE creates, PB will be ALLOVER the front line with intelligence that you won't even see....

I could go on....but i won't, coz i'm peckish before we start..

He is not resting players tonight, so let's see.

If you mean have I noticed the none pressing sit back drivel we've been doing 1st half recently yes I have.

He probably will have us play more possession based at home (usually does).

But Paddy has been ineffective for multiple games however we played 1st or 2nd half.

Not sure what DF being a crap lower league striker in Germany has to do with it?

The match is on National TV in the United States. At least for anyone that has basic cable with ESPN 2....

[Morpheus]

Why Oh WHY is he playing Bumford again FFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[JoeDenver]

We will be on it from the start, crowd behind the team and all that. Just hope we put that expected early chance away. Let’s hope it falls to Paddy, erm I meant Geo, sod it James, ah ffs Cry is who I meant.

Right there with you. Quick start is imperative.

[The Subhuman]

Poor pass out from Mes to start

[The Subhuman]

Paddy loses it, Geo draws the foul

Sunderland parking the bus

[The Subhuman]

Nice run, Rodon I think. Firpo draws the foul

[The Subhuman]

Throw in by their box, 3 touches back to our keeper

[The Subhuman]

Ref seems to be every little niggle

[BlackHillsPaul]

Sunderland parking the bus

Yup!!

[The Subhuman]

Shouldn't have been called a foul

Sunderland parking the bus

Not sure they are yet, we don't seem to want to come forward

[John in Louisiana]

Very nice from Summerville and Firpo to earn a corner
