A lot depends on what Leeds team turns up, if it's the one that played against Brentford, then we've got few problems, if it's the one that played against Chelsea, then we've got plenty of problems.

It's not that Leeds were especially good against Chelsea, it's more that Chelsea were absolutely woeful. One of the goals was the Chelsea keeper trying and failing to dummy the Leeds attacker and presenting him with a tap in.

Me, too. Hopefully we'll be pleasantly surprised.

Kicks off just after midnight here, and I have a 5000 word essay to write for work by tomorrow (3pm deadline). If I start watching the game, I'll get irritated and won't focus on writing. If I don't watch the game, I'll want to know what's happening and won't focus on writing.

What a dilemma!

I don't think it will be shit, it just won't be great and that pattern will persist at least until the WC which is why my enthusiasm is at it's lowest since Bruce was rolling up wi' sleeves.

I think there's a very high chance it will be shit and I'm going. I will probably perk up in the pub

Midnight kick off here in Perth W Australia too.
Really fearing the worst.
Usually try to be positive.
Got to work in the morning so will get up early and watch as much as I can of the replay.

Me, too. Hopefully we'll be pleasantly surprised.

I hate playing Leeds.  I was born and grew up in Yorkshire as a Halifax Town supporter and hating the "gloryhunters" who jumped on the Leeds bandwagon.  I hate playing them now because somehow without necessarily overly aggressive they appear to always bully us, or perhaps being more honest we just don't show up and appear to capitulate without a fight.  I hope today isn't one of those days !

I hope that doesn't happen, but I don't think it's  true. Over the last few years, neither team has dominated the other.
Also there couldn't be a much more even head-to-head in league games overall; won 30, drawn 30 and lost 30. In cups, we've won 10 drawn one and only lost twice.

Only way I can see us getting a point today is if we win the kick off, pass it back to Martinez and he lays on the ball for 90 minutes feigning injury.

No idea. I really don’t like the claret shorts with the home shirt we occasionally wear so it’s the lesser of 2 evils for me :)

Don't be ridiculous.  What can possibly go wrong?
