Shock horror agree with everything Rich said except regarding Becchio (well not necessarily in general just last night). I thought he played really well and was our MOM along with Ankergren who was brilliant.
Stateside listers...was the game on FSC? I watched it in itv.com not realising it may have been on FSC.

Hi All, Sorry about lack of match reports recently - just had 2nd kid and havn't had time to sh*t ! I disagree with Dave on a few points 1) I don't think we were unlucky and I don't think the 3rd goal flattered them. They completely bossed the second half. I thought we were tremendous first half and deserved to go in equal. 2) I think the gap in class was there to be seen throughout most of the match. Maybe we matched them between 25-45 mins but we were second best in both matches. 3) Becchio - come on Dave, the bloke can barely control a football, everything is so difficult for him. He's crap. Unless it's an open goal from one yard out he's more than likely to miss it. 4) Lubo couldn't cope with the pace of Defoe (who can ?) but he was really exposed. Defoe looked like he'd score with every attack.

I have only put that cos I have jsut arrived home haivng come back on the train to Manchester Picc with a few other fans and we all agreed - we were great. We ALL felt that though Spurs just about deserved it ,the third goal flattered them, and for big swathes of the game it was impossible to see who was Prem League and who was 3rd Divison. And then I get on here and you all seem to be saying we were outclassed in every department and played off the pitch. You may all be correct but that is not how it felt inside ER and right up until the 3rd goal (in injury time) myself and 33,000 other Leeds fans belived we might just do it ! We were even singing we want Fergie time at the end rather than wishing the final whistle would come so confident were we that the team could give it one last go and get yet another equaliser -and we nearly did when Bromby headed over instead of in with a few mins to go. Whatever the truth of it, the players can be totally proud of themselves - they gave it their all and came up just short - and this agaisnt a top 6 (if not better) Prem side. Anyway as we all sang on the way home "FA Cup who gives a f**k, wer'e super Leeds and we're going up" So bakc to the real world on Saturday and we can go into the game with great hope - Larry can hopefully get the same level of comitment then that he did today and with the skill shown we are to good for pretty much anyone in this Division. We should not even be too tired with McSheffrey, Lowry and Gradel all inelgible tonight, plus Kisnorbo and Kilkenny missing - so he can (subject to latter two fitness) make 5 changes which will improve or at least not diminish the team. Also with a bit of luck Becchio, no whe is under presssure for his place, may start scoring now he has broken his famine. A win on Sat and then win at Carlisle and things will all be ok with world again DAve _______________________________________________ the Leeds List is an unmoderated mailing list and the list administrators accept no liability for the personal views and opinions of contributors.
