Destroyed is a bit harsh. We beat them 1-0 at Elland Road with a last-minute goal. They beat us 1-0 at Carrow Road with a last minute goal. Cheers! Sean -Original Message- From: Matt Anderson m...@leeds-united.net To: 'Robert Heath' rhe...@mis-munich.de; 'Eric B'

I did that tour the day of the home Champions League tie against Barcelona. It was great. For one thing, I was the only one on the tour - just me and McClelland, who was a real gent (he explained that technically they weren't allowed to give tours that close to kick off of a Champions

I think the team have done brilliantly this season in getting it together and punching above our weight (proved today) with attitude, confidence, determination and a brilliant crowd. Crowd brilliant again today. Punching above our weight?!? Are you kidding?!? We are Leeds

I think a lot of these are good questions. I'm still curious about where the money we got from Spurs and Chelsea for nicking our youth players went, plus the six million quid from Villa for Delph, etc. However, all that being said, it does cost a lot of money to run Leeds United. We've got a

What a class act that guy has been. I hope he becomes a coach or a manager and can return to the club in some capacity when his playing career is over. Academy players could learn a lot from him about how to approach the game. Cheers! Sean -Original Message- From:

Woodgate would be great if he could stay fit enough to play most games. Given the choice between him or Smith now, I'd take Woodgate every time, given our defensive frailty. Cheers! Sean -Original Message- From: Matt Anderson m...@leeds-united.net To: 'Errand Fivefold'

Woodgate's a much better player than Smith. On form, he's world class. If we could get him on a pay as you play deal, I don't see where the risk would be (and I bet Spurs would pay some of his wages - they clearly are eager for him to get some match practice). -Original

What is the financial upside for us of getting drawn away to a(nother?) big club? Do we get some share of gate receipts or TV money, or do we need to bring them back to Elland Road for a replay to make any dosh? Cheers! Sean -Original Message- From: markbu...@aol.com To:

I'd like to listen to that Today Program segment - anyone got a link? As for Ridsdale and O'Leary, there's plenty of blame to go around: - Ridsdale, for spending money we didn't have on players we didn't need (Seth Johnson, anyone?), and betting the house like a coke-fueled gambler. -

Those rules are just intended to protect the traditional big sides like Man U, Real Madrid, Barcelona etc from upstarts like Man City. It'd be a sad day for football if they ever got implemented, as it would basically freeze the league tables and Champions League, with those clubs forming
