Yorkshire Whites vs The Villa Pre-Match Thread

Pretty sure Leeds won't want any players sent off at this stage of the season either. What's their yellow card situation like?

edit: 3 players on 4 yellow cards, 2 players on 8, and Alioski is on 9 but I think he's out injured for the season.

LMFAO. Honestly we need to stop these conspiracy theories. Whatever Leeds do they are not going to take the field on Sunday with the sole intent of crippling our best players. They have just as many good players if not more. Look at the table they have been in top 2 most of the season and Bielsa wins matches by his tactical nous not by hacking opposition to pieces. I think we need to protect our players for normal reasons and not because of Leeds.

Yep, its not like Norman Hunter or Billy Bremner are playing for Leeds this weekend.

ahh...but what about Madeley, Jones and Lorimer ?

Giles was the worst.

If tomorrow, Sheffield United win as expected and the stripeys contrive to not win against Rotherham, Leeds' regular season is over before we get to Elland Road, and we'll still be in with a chance of pinching fourth. I'm pretty sure Leeds haven't clogged their way to top two for most of the season, and I don't think they'll start now. If results fall as hoped, I can see a game of good football between two more than decent sides where we'll have more to play for, with our desire and impetus bringing us out on top.

I've had spies watching Leeds this week and they intend to be Super Nashwan and us Revolver.

Am I missing something ? Loads of posts on here suggesting an Albion win against Rotherham will nail down 4th place. I believe if they lose their last game at Derby (who will likely need the points) and we win at Leeds and at home to Norwich, we will pip them by a point ? Nes pas

Even if you get 5 or 10 yellows the cut off point for both was a few weeks ago so you won't get banned. 15 is the only live suspension which McGinn could still trigger if he's booked the last two games (surely would not play Norwich if he gets a yellow at Leeds which is likely).

Indeed. Plus, right now, every team is shit scared of us, why change that environment?

Good point well made. Cut off dates were 19 and 37 games respectively for 5 and 10 yellow cards.

Pretty sure Dean won't risk SJM against Norwich if he was to pick up a card at Leeds.

Correct. They are currently 2pts ahead, so we can finish 4th if we win both our games against Leeds and Norwich, and Baggies beat Rotherham but lose to Derby.

Speaking of ‘Yorkshire Whites’....
Has it been mentioned on here yet that Konami have added a bespoke head model for Grealish in the latest data update to PES 2019, short socks n’all 👍🏼

I don’t know what this means in old man language.
