Leeds v Newcastle

[Me and my Monkey]

Can't make my mind up about this one. If Newcastle win, then they're on 40 points and starting to look untouchable. If Leeds win, that'll be another team hanging off our coat tails. They might start thinking they're quite good, and we're playing them in the not too distant future. Hmmm, think I'll settle for a draw.

Garry Monk has got Leeds playing well with their youngsters and their results are starting to improve. Must admit I'm a bit worried about Leeds as I think it could be their year. Tough game today but with Elland Road sold out I think they can beat Newcastle.

All season there will be only 3 teams I shall be cheering. A win for the seagulls, whoever is playing Newcastle and team Pardew to take Palace down.

Leeds 3 points today would be delightful

I don't think there's any particularly bad outcome for us today.

We either gain a point on Newcastle to stop them stretching away but bring Leeds firmly into the mix. We stretch further away from Leeds but allow Newcastle to open a comfortable gap. Or they draw and very little has changed from two weeks ago.

I'd be happy with a draw. Either way, our point against Villa is looking like a good one after yesterday's results.

Assuming that (from the point of view) nobody is going to catch Newcastle,then it would be nice if they take as many points as possible from the others,but are they really going to be untouchable..

2-2
Several key players sent off.

Leeds all the way, far more likely to have a car crash some time in the season than Newcastle.

In order of preference

1.Draw
2.Leeds
3.Newcastle

Leeds will almost certainly have an improved season, but they won't get within 10 points of us come the end of the season.

Doubt it'll be a great game but I'm weirdly looking forward to watching it. Hoping Leeds win, don't think they're much of a threat, bound to tail off at some point. Whereas we should be looking to keep Newcastle in our sights

 

[spence]

Really not bothered. We have zero chance of catching Newcastle and i'm not worried about Leeds. I'm just going to enjoy watching the match.

 

[redoubtable seagull]

A draw is probably the best outcome. I'm actually looking forward to watching this. Could be a good match, certainly better than a turgid Ipswich last night.

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

When was the last time Elland road was sold out for a league game??
Draw please

Zero chance? We're only 2 points behind them. As it stands, we are the best team to challenge them from a points gained point of view. I admit Newcastle are hot favourites to win the league but they're not infallible. They too can have an off-colour performance similar to us on Friday.

 

[Rugrat]

So undecided, I can see any outcome being good for us.

If pushed I'd go for Newcastle. Looking at their games right up to ours I can see a case for them winning them all. If that happened giving Leeds 3 points today would be the worst result for us

No. The Championship will see to that.

I'd rather keep them in our sights for as long as we can.

 

[sir albion]

Leeds win or draw would be great..why would you want Newcastle to win as they're not guaranteed top spot regardless of what people say.

 

[GoldWithFalmer]

No. The Championship will see to that.

I would be inclined to agree.

 

[Easy 10]

I don't really care about going up as Champions tbh, second will do me just fine. I hope Newcastle muller everyone in the chasing pack, including dirty Leeds today.

 

[NooBHA]

I don't care one way or another - Our Promotion or non promotion will be decided by ourselves and how we perform. Other games you always hope for a draw in every game because that's always one other potential point dropped but other than that I care not one jot.

As for Leeds Utd. Their squad isn't strong enough yet to withstand lots of injuries and suspensions so they will have dips in results when they begin to kick in

 

[martin tyler]

Draw for me today would be fine. Means as we were prior to the weekend starting bar reading who have a tough looking run if games to come with Bristol city, Fulham, massive and euro giants Leeds in the next 4 games.
