Pre and In Match Thread. Leeds United vs Liverpool. Elland Road.. EPL. Sunday Sept 12th. 1630 hrs

I’ll just taken a few goals and a win.

Anyhow it looks like I’ll miss this though European Football seems well liked in Croatia (fingers crossed for the Milan match).

Looks like I’m going be watching the Lokomotiv, good thing is when I’ve been at other grounds when Liverpool are playing we usually do well.

Trainspotting?

Yep, league winning team there.

Not having a good feeling - mainly because of the overconfidence in this thread.

I think they’re going to smash us 16-0 and 7 of our players will pick up season ending injuries.

Better?

Surely that was last season and it wasn’t 16-0. It was 7-2 against Villa. :nerd_face:

They will be a tougher nut to crack with Phillips giving them someone in midfield who will get stuck in.

Leeds are a big club and I’m glad they are in the Prem. Their fans will remember lots of cracking games against Liverpool down the years, and they know this is a big one, albeit early in the season. Which is to say they should be up for it.

Bottom line, match their intensity and then let our superior level shine through. But we have to do our job.

Robbo has a small knock from internationals I’m hearing.

Such an important game today. High intense opponent with their full crowd and we struggled against them since they are back in the PL.

Hopefully we win today which would give us a boost to get 6 more points against Palace and Brentford before we play against City at Anfield.

I don’t think he should start anyway. He looked miles away from being match fit against Chelsea.

I hat internationals. Let stick another match in the break. It’ll be fine…

We normally have a bit of a hangover after the international break, Leeds are full of energy and will give us a very tough game.

Not that I want Robertson to start, but he looked pretty good during NT games. Anyway, we now have the luxury of a decent alternative.

Still no team sheets? They are usually out by now?

Edit - I’m an hour ahead, aren’t I? As you were…

One hour before kick off.

@GermanRed and @Lowton_Red will usually post it here at half past three.

Sometimes they are slow and I have to wait another minute.

The rain had stopped when Hulme-Rothery stepped out into the street; the sun was shining again in that half blustering, half apologetic manner which it affects upon its reappearance after an autumn shower. The pavements glistened cheerfully and the air had a wholesome freshness. Pausing at the corner, he pondered for a moment on life in all its majesty and how sometimes it is the little things that make the difference.

Earlier that day, sitting in his potting shed sipping his post prandial glass of port, one would have said that there sat a man with his soul at rest and not a disturbing thought on his mind.

One would have been in error. My soul was not at rest. It would perhaps be too much to put it that vultures were gnawing at my ample bosom, but I was certainly far from carefree.

Sensitive to atmosphere, I feared Boudica’s reaction should she discover that no-one had enacted the lex sacrificii et Musa sapientum fixa cutis.

Taking the initiative I mentioned that I thought that it was the turn of @Klopptimist to do the deed. A white lie perhaps, but I know in my heart that he’s utterly devoid of all the finer instincts which raise Man above the level of the beasts that perish. So, if anyone should take the blame I cannot think of a more worthy candidate. Let’s face it, his presence at it would lower the tone of a silver ring bookies’ social and outing picnic.

Content with this intelligence, Boudica, and her kommando, the Lowton and District Townswomen’s Guild, departed for manoeuvres on Nevison’s Flash.

Knowing their intended direction of travel, at my behest the Leeds Liverpool canal had been closed and the stop locks applied in anticipation of the ensuing carnage.

Seeing as one might as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb, I also omitted to inform the Mem that Lawro had predicted a 2-1 win to us.

Hopefully his attempted kiss of death won’t throw a spanner in the works and upset the apple-cart. :roll_eyes:
