You finished in 16th place in League 2, just 9 years ago - that is the 84th position trophy !!
As for Henry, he joined Arsenal in 1999 and left in 2007. We saw him for 7 years (1999 to 2005) and you saw him for only 5 (2003 to 2007). |

Don't forget that there will also be VAR on Sunday, so Jarred Gillett could play an important role too !! |

We used to go there years back for England games. It was handy for meeting mates who were travelling to London from all over the country and on the Metropolitan Line it is only 2 stops from Baker Street to Wembley Park.
Now though, we hate it. It is way too busy, the queues to get served are as stupid as their prices and the glasses are plastic. There are loads of alternatives (thanks for the earlier recommendations), so I'm sure we will be fine on Sunday.
Edit - got confused with the Globe at Baker Street (equally as bad). There are a few Green Man pubs about though, but not a fan of the one at Wembley either. :-) [Post edited 24 May 14:55]

It happened twice, so hardly regular and both games had an early red card for us, with the 2nd game also having a 2nd red card for us.
Perhaps you have forgotten that your record top flight defeat is 10-0.
If only you had played a bit more regularly in the top flight, the same could have happened to you, but only having played a paltry 8 seasons since 1959 suggests that isn't going to happen any time soon. |

I wouldn't recommend staying anywhere near Wembley on Saturday evening, as it will be full of red and blue Mancs, down for the FA Cup final. |

We went from B/stoke for the JPT. All trains were absolutely heaving coming out of Southampton and a couple of guys we knew who were trying to get on at Parkway couldn't get on 2 trains, so decided to drive up to B/stoke and go via Reading. We also took the Basingstoke - Reading - Paddington route and it was fine. |

Anyone go to the Alan Knight testimonial ?

In a game of that magnitude, that 'just one pen missed' could have had the worst consequences for us.
To try to defend the ref by brushing off a crucial decision like that is very strange.
The one he gave us didn't make up for it, as it was when the game was already won. |

I am not saying we should sign him, but he wasn't overrated when he was with us.
We signed him on loan as an unknown 19 year old Chelsea Youth striker and as 5th choice in our front line.
He was only supposed to get the odd bit of game time, but with injuries to other forwards and his performances from the bench, he got his reward.
We made him into the player he became, hence why Chelsea wanted top money for him (£50m allegedly). Then he had that awful injury and has, like many other players, struggled a bit since.
He wasn't rated at all when he came to us, so he definitely could not be one of the most overrated players we've had in years. |

He really did. Search back and find examples. RH was a troubled man and well into the start of his demise.
He must have been really desperate to blame and 5th choice 19 year old loanee striker for our lack of goals in specific games and for the awful run we had at the end of that season.
Che is a supposed Prem Striker. He has dropped down a division, so should really be top of the class. He didn't even hit the heights he achieved with Birmingham City at this level (22 goals in his last season), that prompted us to buy him. As I said in another thread, he has underachieved and really should have scored 7-10 more goals than this season's tally. Maybe as he is in the last year of his contract has affected him ? However and rather embarrassingly, this is the first time he has hit double figures in league goals for us - at the 5th time of asking !!
Broja was just a young unheard of when we signed him on loan, as a 5th choice striker. |

He was isolated from play because RH played him as a lone striker, with very little support - then threw him under the bus and blamed solely him for the lack of goals and results in our poor end of season run.
......forgetting that he only signed 19 year old Broja as a back up striker, to give a bit of game time to occasionally off the bench and get him up to speed in the Prem. Then there were injuries to the likes of Che, A Arm, Long and Theo, so he got a chance, performed well and started to get picked ahead of said 4. We put him on the map and boosted his alleged transfer asking price to £50m. (It is probably only a third of that now).
With Che out of contract in the summer, he has done little to suggest he is worth a new contract, so although Broja may not be our answer as a partner to RS, I wouldn't say no, as long as he has fully recovered from that awful injury.
Mara's return this season has been very poor, especially considering we have dropped down a league. His attitude and motivation has also been questionable at best and his all round contribution to the team and our style of play has been a massive failure. If we'd had a fully fit squad this season and knowing RM's obsession with wingers, I am not sure Mara would have even made the bench that many times. |

Adams and A Armstrong should easily have scored another 7-10 goals each this season. The amount of excellent chances they and their team mates have missed is quite ridiculous.
Our season long issue of failing to kill teams off when we are on top, really has come back and bitten us.
That along with gifting the opposition easy chances, conceding, panicking and often throwing points away.
Goals change games - kill teams off and there are no repercussions. |

Reply | Leeds Allocation For Norwich
at 14:01 7 May 2024
When we played at Norwich on New Year's Day this season, we were given 2022 tickets @ £31. Similarly at WBA, we got 2009 tickets @ £28.
I expected the same allocations for the play-offs, regardless of which team we would be up against.
I didn't expect Norwich to charge an extra fiver and unless they have pre-agreed a price with Norwich, I fully expect Leeds to charge Norwich fans £47 for the game at Elland Road. |

Reply | Che Adams v Adam Armstrong stats

Both have underperformed this season.
Both should have another 7-10 goals each.
Fortunately quite a few other players have chipped in with goals.
Adams still misses sitters, but not like that 1 at Wolves the other season !!
A Arm has gone right off the boil - especially since he didn't make the team of the season - somehow losing his spot to that Leeds striker who had 7 goals and 16 assists - compared to A Arm's 20 goals and 12 assists !!
RM still doesn't know his best front line combo.
Nice deserved dig at the leaky defence - which should have been extended to the 'Keepers as well.
Either way, next season we need new striker, defender and keeper options !! |
