So Dan, what stick did you guys give Lee Hughes?

[Adam]

Now who was it that predicted that orient would be favourites for relegation?

I must admit im now happy they are doing well! I hope it lasts.

We FINALLY got a win this weekend, and at Swansea too, good stuff.

Im not liking the Kandol show at Leeds though <_>

[Matt]

Kandol is the second coming of Jesus. Only black. And can do flips.

I can't wait for Leeds/Oldham, Hughes is going to get some fucking major stick.

On referees, the ref at the game yesterday was shite, any time a Leeds player thought about touching a Luton player, the whistle went, we had a couple of close-range free kicks (Thommo territory) and even two decent penalty shouts not given. We couldn't apply pressure to defenders because he gave a freekick if Kandol, Sebs or Beckford even nudged the defender/keeper.

And when the shirts come out I'm getting this on one of them (probably home):

WHO NEEDS

It'll be a novelty for Leeds fans to be on the other side of the "You're supposed to be in jail" chant for once.

[Matt]

Or a "Who the fuck paid your bail" chant.

I think Today just pretty much summed up why we are not a team who will gun for the top 6 this season, perhaps a top half finish but i cannot see us finishing in the play offs. Its that extra little bit of quality we lack and the quality that we do and can produce is not replicated consistently enough, or else players like Pablo would be playing for Premiership clubs.

The difference between us and the big spending clubs in the league is that we have obvious strengths, but we also unfortunately have obvious areas where we are woefully under equipped and patched up, areas like left midfield, the final ball, delivery into the box from wide areas, player runs in the final third and that general extra little bit of quality all over the park.

There is only so much Jim can do, with the lets face it the measly resources he is given in modern footballing terms, I personally think he has done a cracking job so far, but there is the question remaining whether he can take the team any further in a football world that is dominated by money as has been shown in what im sure for jim must have been immensely frustrating transfer sagas of Jeffers and more recently Navas.

I’m not one for Blaming Sheepy but this 'struggle on admirably' attitude I believe the club has i.e., not activity looking for investment, further collecting debt on a yearly basis, not providing funds for that extra little bit of quality is really cost us in terms of what we can hope for this season and seasons to come.

I just think today pretty much summed up our current position, a great manager with a good team, but missing that extra bit of quality in the big spending culture of modern football.

I for one don’t think Sheepy is a bad bloke, he is obviously an out and out town fan, but he and the rather unspectacular board of directors we have who lets face it are minted yet show little interest or backing are short sighted and have forgot the clubs ambition and realism for achieving promotion.

To achieve promotion we need fresh investment, new innovative ideas from a new chairmen and really financial backing to Jim to take us on to that extra level.

Seems strange to have sold Sandell to a non-league side though. I thought he looked pretty good when he played in midfield. Maybe that's just because I don't know anything though ¬_¬.

Hughsies got a bus pass.

More points than Oldham.

Amongst others, good game, good day, good win.

[TAFKA Castroneves]

Finally got my new City shirt, awesomeness. I've had some strange looks though when people realise i've got Topps Tiles wrote across my chest >_>

[GA!]

Grimsby killed Huddersfield 4-1 in the Johnstone Paint Trophy tonight....... Why the FUCK can't they play like that in the league?!?

[britneyspearsisgod]

Because we took David Pipe from you. Now you suck

[GA!]

Because we took David Pipe from you. Now you suck

No, you suck because David Pipe's never played for us.

[Adam]

Half of our first team destroyed Bradford's second team 5-1 tonight as we head to retain the trophy. wooooo

[britneyspearsisgod]

Because we took David Pipe from you. Now you suck

No, you suck because David Pipe's never played for us.

Fuck Huddersfield. And clearly Leeds are awesome, we got a bye.

[Adam]

Leeds, I hope you go up in flames in Round 2! And hopefully against the likes of Morecambe or Dagenham & Redbridge!

[Matt]

Leeds, I hope you go up in flames in Round 2! And hopefully against the likes of Morecambe or Dagenham & Redbridge!

Pfft... just because we can beat teams in this league.

And come Saturday you can all shove those 15 points up your arse. (Y)

[britneyspearsisgod]

I was quite surprised... Doncaster Rovers never got a bye, yet they won it. But we got a bye and we finished 2nd. Surely Doncaster could get one too?

Ah well. Fuck it - we got a bye

[GA!]

I hope Leeds and Doncaster face each other in round two, go to a double DQ which then gives Grimsby a bye for the third round. It could happen.

[Adam]

Hey, if they let Leeds fan in the ground, it could well happen. What with the chances of a mass brawl
