Cheers Dave, fuck me that's a cocktail of drugs.

As an official part-timer these wins will be drawing me back for the town game.

We are Leeds ,

This will be fairly short - 3 hours sleep (after a cub sleepover at Legoland) 5 
pints of Thwaites bitter, 6 paracetamol, 4 codeine phosphate tablets, and 
40mils of oramorph on top of my 60mgs of slow release morphine is not great for 
a detailed analysis of the game !!The leeds end (lower tier) was packed and we 
spent the first 5 minutes finding where are seats were and then standing 
somewhere else since it was a bit of a free for allBerardi and Bamba kept their 
places at the back, our goal scoring 'heroes' from midweek started up front 
again with Mowatt Cook Dave and Bridcutt making up the midfield.Blackburn 
started the brighter with lots of action down our flanks - the pitch at 
Blackburn (which was in poor condition) is a bit strange in that it extends 2 
yards from the line and then has a massive camber (on the left side as we 
looked at it)- thankfully these crosses came in 2 types , rubbish ones that 
went behind the goal, too far to the far side or just generally poor or th

anything to play for. So not much in the way of enterprising or exciting stuff. 
We seemed to have adopted a very odd tactic - Silvestri kicking the ball, ball 
from hand and deadballs, very wide to the left hand side. This was an old Leeds 
tactic and was successful for a few seasons, but this was when we had Speed or

to have the better of the full back. Today we had Mowatt and Doukara, neither

Re: [LU] 0-1...

[bruvvaleeluv]

Could you imagine it - £30 million to find on getting promotion, a manager 
who'd be the Premiership's fattest ever, the fans still trying to oust the 
owner, and a team which would, as a necessity, need 7 Premiership quality 
players! 

Mid table obscurity never sounded so good :-)

We're just settling into that zone, roughly equi-distant from the playoffs and

[LU] Goals change games

[David Smail]

Good point. I loathe all the pre game stats about the last time the teams
met and some venues not happy hunting grounds etc etc. Each game is a one
off and stands on its own feet. I only saw the Bolton highlights, but that
too looked like a game we could have easily lost. More importantly though, I
like the way Evans has the team playing - 

everyone is not a fan of his style, but it's the best we've had for some
time. Even when we lose, I think it's still the right approach. Sometimes it
doesn't look like Leeds United without all the panic hoofs.
