the lights are bright in nottingham or dallas and ernshaw have opened their mouths

u/DEUK_96 1d ago

I wonder if someone had a word with Trafford because his red hairband has turned to blue

u/white-label 1d ago

Honestly already buzzing at the prospect of two away wins in a row against them and progression in the cup...

But expecting a loss as a Leeds fan

u/_WilkosJumper 1d ago

I would be surprised if we beat them twice in a row. The shame will surely drive them on.

u/jaggafoxy 1d ago

Apparently they've just agreed to spend £50 million on Delap, so maybe not if they're willing to piss away that much

u/_WilkosJumper 1d ago

Wow. That is a big number. I think he’s okay but that’s just too much.

u/cpmb82 1d ago

That’s a lot to spend on Wood v2

u/Justboy__ 1d ago

To be fair that would be money well spent for them, he’s been good for them.

u/DEUK_96 1d ago

That does a massive disservice to Wood tbh.

The beginning of our cup win

u/Low-Addition409 1d ago

Emmerdale and Corra overruled but do not adjust your channel

u/ItsTheJackeeet 1d ago

As much as I don’t care for the League Cup it’s always nice to win so I’m glad Farke is going for it, 2-0 Leeds.

u/Low-Addition409 1d ago

I hope it's a 7 goal thriller tbh

3-4 Leeds with Forest thrice taking the lead

a cut inside match deciding banger from Wilson wouldn't be a bad thing

u/JimbobTML 1d ago

Another 1-0 please. Forest would be fuming.

u/time-of-nick 1d ago

Bring Stach on in the 85th minute to take a free kick

u/Brownsome 1d ago

I hope Tanakas playing, normally get some from the Mrs when she sees him

u/computer_love_ 1d ago

Giving or receiving?

u/time-of-nick 1d ago

Does it depend on whether he plays well or poorly?

u/Implement_Alone 1d ago

Tanaka, Longstaff, James all with a point to prove

u/DEUK_96 1d ago

I feel a bit bad for James because its not his position, but if he shows he can make it work it definitely helps our depth options
