Manchester United vs Leeds United Match Thread

What did he say?

Boo-hoo-hoo. We wuz robbed. Dirty Leeds.

[Irish Ian]

Moaning about DCL's "elbow to the head" for our first and the sending off was completely wrong as the hair was barely touched (when we can all see it being pulled) ..

Right, well fair enough, although ManU played better with 10 men as they just went more direct.

DCL didn't elbow anyone and the hair pull was a stupid thing to a sent off for.

That's the problem with thinking certain games are nailed on wins/defeats. I just hope we don't lose to Wolves now.

Indeed this time of the season is all about unexpected wins and losses. Can't count on anything for us or rivals. Forest and WH both tooks points off Man City recently. All about us grinding out our own points wherever they come.

[Orange Box]

I spent the entire game standing up - in my own home. That was as nervous as I think I’ve ever been watching football. What a win!

I was trawling a Spurs forum there.

Please.
Hopefully.
Maybe.

Spurs fan hoping we are on the beach by the time we meet.

I cannot for the life of me understand how that pillock has a following. He is the Gordon Hill of football content streamers.

[weasel]

Could someone explain the difference between a 5 minute session of passing the ball around while the crowd chanted Ole, and ploddyball tactics.

Wonder if Cjay was shouting, "Effing hoof it," every time the fans were shouting, "Olé."

[Cjay]

He's a Nottingham Forest fan who cosplays as a Manure fan for engagement.

They are genuinely terrified now



Cheeky bastards daring to call themselves a leading European club.

Never wanted a relegation more.

When I last looked, close to the end of the match, possession and shots were very similar for both teams.

Don't just rely on stats. Look at chances missed. We should have had several more goals.

I was hoping he’d take his hair down at the final whistle & shake it out in front of the Scum fans

When you have a man advantage if played right ploddyball is fine

We still look really dodgy doing it though

Well we absolutely battered them first half.
Best I’ve seen under Farke.

[Carrick Dave]

Enjoy the moment - stop critiquing fellow fans.

Oh yeah, sorry.

You would never critique another poster.

[DDB220]

Carrick is as charismatic as a pint of water

Pretty certain when the red card came out I saw him mouthing to Holland “ “What would Gareth do ?”

I think Holland said put 10 men behind the ball and draw the final 30 minutes. But he had his hand over his mouth so I may have exaggerated.

Few occasions where we played one too many backwards and boxed ourselves in at the back

Never believed they'd go down, but I really hope I'm wrong.

You've got a real chip on your shoulder haven't you.... ?
