Leeds Utd v Charlton Athletic - MATCH THREAD - Bielsa Names Strong Starting XI

[Chilli D]

Let's face it Brentford are the best of the four teams in the play offs and they finished third so they deserve to go up but things dont always work out that way.
This season Northampton (where I'm originally from) finished 7th but won the play offs.
The play offs are a lottery and any of the four could win it.

The smiles on the faces of Poveda and Shakelton when they combined to make that goal were priceless.
Did my heart good to see such joyous celebrations... long may it continue.
We have a player in Poveda... low centre of gravity, tricky feet, and pace to burn, and not afraid to take
his man on, yet is sensible enough to make the killer pass. He will be challenging Costa on that wing.

We've only seen him a couple of times but he looks better than Costa in my opinion.
Great to have competition for the place though.

Sorry are you referring to the Leeds game or the prior engagement?

Chirp of the week

[gessa]

Don't feel sorry one bit for Bowyer, took us through the courtz and pulled out of a £9m deal with Liverpool, only to runout his contract,we got £270,000 instead, great player, horrible human.

[Irish Ian]

That's a shame Ian

When Leeds United are playing I would do my utmost to cancel all appointments, engagements & definitely things that can wait until the next day

Best I got was the last 30 minutes of the sky sports updates.

Which was worth it for


1. One of their summarisers swearing when Forest conceded their fourth goal and
2. Nathan Jones starting another touchline dispute with one of the Blackburn staff.
3. Gerhard Struber in tears during his interview after the game
4. Oh yes and Leeds lifting the trophy

[BGwhite]

who do we want up in the play offs?

Not Cardiff (Harris), not Fulham (Mitrivic), not Brentford (London) so it'll have to be Swansea.
I wonder if it's going to be consecutive playoffs heartache for PJ. ?

Exactly. Both him and Kewell, but only Kewell gets sh*t for it.

A lot of the players sh*t on the club still taking wages long after they left for example, bleeding the club dry. A lot of circumstances/bad luck also contributed. As mentioned Bowyer could have gone to Liverpool and we would have got £9m, DaCourt could have gone to Lazio for I think £16m (instead we got £1m from Roma). We probably had enough value in the playing staff to get us out of the debt but we just seemed to get fleeced by everyone either buying our players for a fraction of their worth and us paying huge percentages of players wages after they'd left the club.

Think we need a Strike picture thread for the ladies..I can spell Struijk by way but I just like the commentator's use of Strike v Derby...Good nickname at the very least

There we go....thighs on display there. Bit risque I know

[The Subhuman]

With Rooney at his feet..so that seems apposite
