Leeds v Sunderland Match Thread

[Barlow Boy]

I was totally jacked up on adrenaline. It took me ages to get to sleep.

I had to have a few beers, and watch the game back.

Went to bed at 2am.

There was a Japanese lad sat in front of me last night. He’s on holiday in London but acquired a ticket for our game because he likes Tanaka.

He couldn’t believe how friendly people were towards him, though we didn’t have much success in teaching him the words to MOT! He clearly had a great evening and said he wants to return to ER in future. I think we have a new convert.

I like stuff like that

Had to miss this one for my wedding day. Sounds like I didn't miss much... a boring, routine 2-1 home win right guys... right??

Congrats mate

[1964white]

Le Bris reckons his youngsters a bit naive and tiring at the end. I’d say that’s a good description of what went wrong for him.

Sunderland are a very young side.

They have to be one of the favourites to go up next season, if they don't go up in the play-offs.

[1964white]

Aren't we a young team too? Wonder what the average age comparison was.

Only three players 23yo or under in our current squad.

[1964white]

The dog was sitting on my knee when the 2nd went in, anyone got a number for a vet & a good plasterer ?

[1964white]

I think Gruev gets dropped for the next game. Struijk in, Amps up into midfield

You could be right, Chilli.

Where does that leave our set-piece specialist, Rothwell.

[1964white]

Wow....just wow......and great to see Rothwell (who should start every game imo) doing what he's gifted to do....great player and one of few who tries to drive us forward.

Rothwell made Tanaka & Gruev look poor, once he came on!

[1964white]

Don't worry........ with your hair, that is very safe !!!

Later than me mate, 1.15am for me.
