Terrified

[blader]

I can't believe it. Just worked it out I've worked in Leeds for 28 years now. Jesus. I never look forward to playing them but in this time the only match I have missed when have played them was when we won 0-4. I'm staying away for good luck. Best /worst Leeds memories??


Hmmm have all the tickets gone??

Best leeds memory, Jagielkas goal at the Bramall Lane end a few years ago. If you mean at Elland Road, then easily the 4-0, not sure ive been to a better game ever!

and no, we have about 400 tickets to sell as of last night.

I'm Leeds born but have supported the Blades all my life. Not overly fussed about them to be honest. Used to hate them with a passion but last 20 years more pity than hate. I was told by a Leeds fan at work that they've already sold 30,000 tickets !

Never particularly liked them.
Since the promotion year to the old 1st division when they cheated and got one of the worst homer refs ever, I've really disliked them.
Then as a late teen we moved to Harrogate. Full of arrogant, monbrowed neanderthal tosspots spending mummy & daddy's money who support the scum. Little Brother switched from the unclean to the downright dirty B*st*rds. Then I went to uni in Bradford, where the rivalry is as bitter as the United/Wednesday.
And then Ridsdale followed by Master Bates ripped off honest people & the tax man.
So I hate them now, probably above Wednesday (as you say, the simple cousin) and Wet Sham.

Its a game we have to win.

Don't you think that with them looking like having an extra 16k turn up it is more like thier cup final ?

I've had to make that point a few times at work when Ive been told its our cup final! Will be sat in with the cavemen, going to be difficult keeping schtum for 90 minutes! My modified Burley Park accent should keep me safe though!

Is the Burley Park accent not that of a middle class suburban middle to upper class tory twenty something with a floppy haircut in skinny jeans with pointy shoes and wearing their grandfathers tweed jacket for that geek chic look?

I wouldn't dare risk doing that, my gob definately wouldn't be my friend sat in their end

Are you confusing with Burley in Wharfedale?

Not sure Boss, I've seen men wearing eye liner in the Royal Park.

The Royal Park my god now that brings memories back of my student years!

Not the eyeliner bit...

You've pretty much summed up 40% of my road!

Not me mind you, the Dronny accent coupled with the odd Leeds word like 'ginnel' will keep me safe!

The eye liner is nothing to be ashamed of Boss, in my student days circa 2002 I was sporting sweat bands and marauding around Baja Beach Club like a dog on heat.

I'm dreading this fooker too. Mostly because I have little confidence we will get a result and am worried they'll put a few past us.

I work with a guy from Leeds (he's sound actually) and we've been bantering for the last few weeks. I am dreading seeing him if we lose. That said, he isn't confident either!?

 

[bbladette]

Well you guys might work in Leeds or with Leeds fans, but I have the worst situation ever.... my partner is a Leeds fan!!!!! I loved the 4-0 win but nearly had to walk home! Really need to win this one or I'll never hear the end of it and I'm surrounded by his family who are also all Leeds fans. So its me and my son against them!! We wont be travelling to the game together this time!!!! I've watched them on tv a couple of times and they have a couple of key players that we need to keep quiet. Would feel a little easier if Morgs was playing. I think it will be a close game and I'm just praying that we can just nick it!!!

The eye liner is nothing to be ashamed of Boss, only last week I was sporting sweat bands and marauding around Baja Beach Club like a dog on heat.

Which flavour wkd do you prefer?

That tells you everything you need to know. It's a match between 2 very average teams that could go either way

 

[raul]

Ditto !!!!

Am Leeds lad (old variety) too.

Could also see the shit heap from my old house but fortunately I cant now.

Am sick and tired of being asked at work if I'm going to our cup final on Saturday.

Hope we give it to em good and proper.

I'm not going btw. Will be first game I've missed there since early 70's but I object to putting £58 into their pockets to go with my son when I can take the missus to see the Rhinos over at Headingley for £34 and spend the change on a bloody good curry at Amaans afterwards.

COYRAWW

Ah well, I'm sure the curry still tasted nice....

The curry was excellent. The only shining light in an otherwise forgettable day.
