Leeds v Newcastle

[wakeytom]

Lol this game is making Friday's look like El Classico

No game will ever make that look like a Classico - Friday was far from entertaining, the only bit of sustained pressure was from villa for about 20 mins in the second half and they did nothing with it

Gouffran contrives a shot from the edge of the area. He scores from about 18% of matches. He might be a shade better than Murphy and Skalak but no better than Lualua and March?

Newcastle don't need to foul against Leeds. Unlike against us (wide players only). Leeds are trying to get fouls though.

blatant handball

Newcastle will stumble at some stage this season. We just need to take advantage if still in a position tòo

They really won't

Their stumble was right at the start of the season.
Can't see them stumbling again

Not great logic just common sense

Yep - common sense says a team 2 points ahead of another after 17 games is completely uncatchable. I love your common sense Let's be controversial on NSC and say that something that is probable is a dead cert

I wonder how long a ban Shelvey will get when he has to face the FA. I reckon at least 5 matches.

I'll go for more like 10......given the profile of anti-racist campaigns, they'll throw the book at him if he's guilty (and the fact they're charging him at all means they're pretty sure of their ground)

Yes, I think you're right. It's also bound to affect them, as he's a pivotal part of their midfield.

He had till the 16th and now it's the 20th so what's the hold up?

HT 0-1

Could easily be 0-0.

Noted by poor (Championship standard) shots from Ritchie and Gouffran.

All clubs are looking for goalscoring midfielders that can net regularly from the edge of the box. (Preferably not midgets like Pritchard. Taller players like Judge.)

What is the capacity of Elland Road nowadays?

Elland Road
Capacity: 37,900 (all seated)

He pleaded not guilty so it has to be investigated now.

He pleaded not guilty on 16th and requested a personal hearing, so it's up to the FA to organise that now.

If Leeds had anyone other than Chris Wood up front, they'd be scoring alot more goals.

They'll lose the odd game for sure but depth of squad mean they won't be affected by injury crises like most of the other teams near the top will be - ah the second game over

 

[AmexRuislip]

Typical shelve always falling down!

 

[spence]

To easy

 

[perseus]

0-2

We'd better practice that move!

Let's hope our new assistant manager is a midfielder ? An attacking coach!
