Leeds v Newcastle

[Cheeky Monkey]

Anyone who's worried about Leeds being in the mix needs to take a long hard look at themselves. Newcastle defeat is all we need today.

It is not Leeds it is we all ****ing hate Leeds

Can't make my mind up about this one. If Newcastle win, then they're on 40 points and starting to look untouchable. If Leeds win, that'll be another team hanging off our coat tails. They might start thinking they're quite good, and we're playing them in the not too distant future. Hmmm, think I'll settle for a draw.

Had this very same conversation with my mate on Friday night, it's a tricky one but in the end we decided a draw was the best result although i still fancy Leeds to win it.

I've gone for Aleksandar Mitrovic first goal @ 4/1. He's bang in form and it's double delight/hat trick heaven with Betfred so winnings could go up and up. Hopefully.

Leeds win then draw clearly best result, but Newcastle will win this at a canter.

Zero chance? We're only 2 points behind them. As it stands, we are the best team to challenge them from a points gained point of view. I admit Newcastle are hot favourites to win the league but they're not infallible. They too can have an off-colour performance similar to us on Friday.

How do you mean by points gained? Brighton are on exactly the same amount of points this many games in as they were last season

I actually think Brighton should want the horrible bar codes to win as Leeds really are starting to hit form which should be a worry given what they have done in recent years (nothing at all)

Long way to go. But a defeat for Newcastle, particularly a bad one, might just get the fans on their backs and trigger a bit of a wobble.

Sunday morning hangover! What I meant was we are in striking distance (i.e. only 2 points behind Newcastle in the table) whereas the rest are adrift by some distance and therefore have to do some serious catching up.

I'd better lie down now!

Not starting. Great.

He's on the bench, which is odd given his recent form as you've pointed out. Does that void your bet?

Would love to see Geordies fall flat on their face but the % call for us is to stop this Leeds revival - draw or NU win for me

Come on Leeds...

Yes. Unless he comes on at 0-0 which wouldn't be great because there wouldn't be a lot of time left to score one, let alone two or three. Wish I'd stayed in bed!

Really not bothered. We have zero chance of catching Newcastle and i'm not worried about Leeds. I'm just going to enjoy watching the match.

Great logic as always Spence

Looks like Leeds fans have managed to negotiate travelling to the game Attendance announcement should kill the atmosphere

Gayle gets to a ball (keeper saves) that Baldock would not have a prayer to get and Hogan might have scored.

Toon already singing about Jimmy Saville , bet it will be tasty outside after

Ronaldo would have scored it.

Not great logic just common sense
