Forest had a couple of good chances but IMO we shaded it and compared to the last few games it was an improvement.

Hhmmm!

Now this is a difficult one Marching my old fruit...

...who is least likely to be biased on the subject? yourself or the BBC?

Not casting any aspersions or anything, like.

Marchers, how does it feel to have a team that has a -5 goal difference nipping at your heels?

Taking into account we started on minus 15 points I am chuffed to see us anywhere near the playoffs....and having the second best goal difference in the league could be vital come the end of the season.

I try to be fair in my opinions and I have called as I heard it....does anyone really believe anything that the BBC say's these days?

For some reason this made me laugh so much I nearly got a hernia.

I'm sure you 'try to be fair' - but those 'rose-tinted lug-holes' can distort things a fair bit.

Nearly?

Damn.

Just seen the game and we definately should have had another 2 penalties for handball...the second happened within 6 feet of the fecking ref.

Useless.

KingEric7 · 16th February 2008, 12:07

I see greater powers have ensured that i won't be allowed to have my weekly laugh at Leeds today. How unfortunate.....

Marching · 16th February 2008, 17:07

Doncaster Dickheads only covered half the pitch on a night a heavy frost was forecast.

Duh!

Utd heap · 23rd February 2008, 17:10

Leeds 0-1 Crewe.
Plenty of time left though.

Marching · 23rd February 2008, 21:33

Another late goal (86th min) saves the blushes.

nemanja nemagic · 23rd February 2008, 21:38

What blushes? You were up against the mean machine that is Crewe Alexandra, it would have been understandable had you lost...

KingEric7 · 24th February 2008, 12:57

Excellent.

7 games without a win!

Marching · 1st March 2008, 18:56

That's more like it

Swindon 0-1 Leeds

A first-half Tresor Kandol header was enough to give Leeds their first win under new manager Gary McAllister.

Kandol arrowed his effort straight into the top left-hand corner from Dave Prutton's cross in the 24th minute.

Simon Cox should have pulled useless Swindon level shortly before half time but headed over unmarked from three yards.

Super Leeds came close to doubling their lead but Swindon goalkeeper Phil Smith tipped over Prutton's corner and Jonathan Howson's five-yard volley.

Marching · 8th March 2008, 18:53

Back up to 7th and just a point outside the playoffs....our excellent GD might just be the important thing come the end of the season.

Leeds extended their unbeaten run to five games and moved to within a point of the play-off places after beating lowly Bournemouth 2-0 at Elland Road.

Goals from Bradley Johnson and Neil Kilkenny - their first for the club - were enough to see off a visiting team who will wonder how they failed to make an impression on the scoresheet.

Johnson capitalised on a goalkeeping howler from David Forde, on loan from Cardiff City, to give United the lead in the 11th minute.

He slotted into an empty net from six yards out after Forde left it late to come from his line and challenge for a hopeful punt forward by David Prutton.

Bournemouth wasted several chances to equalise during a scrappy first half, with Sam Vokes and Max-AlainGradel firing wide when it looked easier to score, and they continued to create opportunities throughout the match against a Leeds team who would surely have been punished by superior opposition.

But United made the points safe on 63 minutes when Jonny Howson teed up Kilkenny, who hit a fierce 18-yard drive into the bottom right-hand corner of the net, much to the delight of the majority of a 21,199 crowd. (720 from Bournemouth)

Six minutes later, Kilkenny made way for Dougie Freedman as manager Gary McAllister opted to give the loan striker an outing for the final 20 minutes, and Leeds continuted to press in search of a third goal.

It was a workmanlike, if hardly sparkling, performance by the home team, for whom Johnson and Prutton were particularly impressive.

How did Newcastle get on btw?

It might surprise you, but you'd be better off looking in a Newcastle/Liverpool topic for the answer to that daft question.

You could twist that and say 2 wins in 9, which doesn't really sound like promotion form.

Which is why I didn't post it that way.

It will be touch and go for the play offs but then if that's what we were offered at the start of the season with starting 15 points behind everyone else I'd have taken it.

Cheltenham have done the double over Leeds this season!

It's probably because they're playing Shergar up front.

Leeds led 2-0, 2-2 now against Port Vale.

Oh no it's not ......3-3 now

How many times do Leeds score goals in the last 10 minutes? It seems like it's every week
