Leeds Thunder Stolen By Oldham Beating Of Liverpool

Sods Law. Leeds put in a truly top drawer performance and dump Spurs out of the Cup, then along come Oldham and steal their thunder!

Of course, Leeds beating Spurs in times of yore would not have been a giant killing, more a typical result, though it was odd to hear that this was only the second time that the once mighty Whites had knocked Tottenham out of the competition. Even now, it wasn't a huge shock. Warnock does seem to being able to get his team to play at home, and they do seem to put in extra effort in Cup games. The question I would be asking, if I was Patel or Haigh is, why the hell can't this team win at Barnsley?

The truly amazing results yesterday were the Brentford draw against Chelsea and the Liverpool defeat at Oldham. That humbling of the blushing Reds must surely be rated one of the most sensational giant killing acts of all time, up there with Yeovil's victory over Sunderland, Hereford's defeat of Newcastle and Colchester's humbling of that great Revie team.

No sod it, Oldham's win compares only with that Leeds defeat at Colchester because you half expect teams like Sunderland, Newcastle, QPR, Norwich, Coventry and, yes, West Ham to come a Roy against the smaller teams. But Leeds under Revie? No way. And Liverpool under anybody, even Benitez, is unheard of, even if it takes a Suarez hand ball goal to see them through!

Mind you, it may be for the best that the headlines are elsewhere. Old Big Gob now has to get his players' feet back on the ground and focused on the league. But that should be easy enough, all he has to say is that, given the draw for the next round, the victory was something of an irrelevance anyway. Fun but little more.

After all, there's only one team from Yorkshire good enough to go all the way to Wembley at the moment!

  4. You seem to think the premier teams are untouchable. If so weres all these champions leauges in the last few years. Most prem players are the three owes. Overpaid. Overrated and some overweight. Get a grip the prem leauge is fully overrated.

  9. Wot a load of desperate shite you pedal hf!
    I reckon you were the type of kid who got invited to birthday parties and couldn't bear not the fact that you wern't the centre of attention.

    All you should be concerned about hf, is how you're gonna word your next slice of negative diatribe if we go to the Ethiad and knock Man City out.

  11. Wow, i think this is the most complimentary i've ever heard you about Leeds....and even a little disparaging about your very own bubble blowers.
    Are you mellowing in your old age?

    The simple fact was we played the ball on the ground for once and proved we could play proper football....now all we have to do is convinced Neil.

  13. the last time Leeds beat spurs in the FA cup we won it. that wont happen we live in a real world, the shit that dribbles out of your mouth is just fuel to the fire, your own club wigg wham have got nothing to shout about. arsenal 5-1 wigg wham. your own wigg wham fans dont even comment on your bloggs ? and your hate of warnock for having an opinion on your club and its cheating was is rite to appeal. his Sheff UTD team lost its prem status and with that he screamed foul. was he correct ???? 35MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION ?????

  14. Anyone for a spot of tennis ?

    We are gonna blast Man City off the court when we batter them at the Etihad.

    Varney with a cracking first serve followed by a huge overhand smash by McCormack.

    1 nil LEEDS !!!

    PS: Well done Neil and best regards to the family. Hope to catch up soon for lunch and a spot of tennis when you are next down in London scouting. Watford will be rocking to the tennis.

    First serve.

  15. Only HF could manage the miracle of turning LUFC's victory against spurs into something negative.

    Maybe you could manage the miracle of turning wet spams arsenal defeat into a positive?

  25. Well well well it looks like West Ham are gonna lose out to Leeds for Villa's Warnock.
    Says it all really dun't it hf?
    Obviously the lad would rather go to a club with more promise.
    I suppose now you'll start spouting about him being shite and that you didn't want him anyway.

  26. I take great delight in the fact that Warnock has set his sights on Joining Leeds over "The mighty hammers" this man would rather join championship club Leeds than join you in the Prem. Shit club, no fans.

  27. Haha, think of the comedy if Leeds land Stephen Warnock ahead of West Ham!!

  29. And another headline, West Hams Warnock Stolen by Leeds. How humiliating. Lets see how long the armchair hammer takes to put a blog up where he throws his dummy out of the pram and says "i didn't want him anyway". Ha ha.
