Arsenal deserved to win? oh my god... if they didnt finish it was because of Schmeichel outstanding performance... but well, like i said, we will solve it in Elland Road :D
 
Great win for Brighton against Pompey today. Should have won by alot more. Pompey rather lost their discipline too
 
Yeah you're record at the emirates is very impressive, am I right in saying you have only lost to a handful of teams there? I was surprised about how strong a line up Wenger named today, it was close to your first team in some respects. Hopefully both teams will play well and allow a cracker of a match to be played. I expected before the season that we would be top half but this season was about staying up. I really don't mind not going up this year and where we finish, as long as we stay up. Even if we do finish in the play offs our record is useless so I doubt we'd go up that way. Don't see us being strong enough to finish 2nd unless Bates actually invests (unlikely). V. annoying about dropping those points, we would be 2nd if we had won those games but oh well. Good luck to Arsenal for the rest of the season (except for the replay ;) )


We did name a strong side buts its the FA cup, not the carling (although Wenger took that seroius this year, out of desperation I suppose) But I Do hope we can do well this year. a few more wins and we can push for a 'real' title challenge instead of being on the fringes of one as we have been for the last few years. And I think as long as you keep Bechio on top form you should be big contenders for plays offs at least, especially with alot of top championship clubs dropping points recently. Just imagine what could of been if you still had Beckford.

Pretty much somes up why Arsenal deserved to win. Leeds played great and I am proud to call myself a Leeds fan after that performance but we didn't deserve to win. If it wasn't for a soft penalty we would have but oh well. Lets see what we can do back at Elland Road! :D

Yeah no one is disputing the fact Schmeichal played a blinder, One of the main reasons we failed to score until the 89th min, then he kept you init with a great save from denilson right at the end but all I'm saying some of your comments about the game were a bit over top and biased.
 
What a striker from Barton 2-1.

I'm not at all unhappy Beckford's gone! We were a 1 man team with him and we relied on him too much. Without him everyone is contributing and you can especially see how good Becchio is now he doesn't have to do all the work for Beckford. When we played with Beckford it was like playing with 10 men due to how little he worked. I think we're better off now than if we had kept him. Oh yeah I know Wenger would take this more seriously than the Carling cup I just didn't realise he would take it this seriously against a Championship team. Have to appluad him for respecting us like that. It is a very tight PL this year so you never know. Man Utd look tough though, still unbeaten though they have drawn a lot of away games. Ye the top of the Championship is extremely close. We've now had 3 draws and a loss and we've gone from 2nd to 5th :S But we had a tough run of games so now we can try and beat the 'weaker' teams. Hopefully Becchio keeps firing on all cylinders ;)

maybe you're right, but you must understand as a leeds fan i am totttaaallly mad because of the penalty incident :( , it was an awesome match, full of emotion, and thats what matters!
 
Well done for Stevenage. Pay back for the goal that never crossed the line in the last meeting
