Leeds United Vs. Everton - Capital One Cup 3rd Round - Tue 25th September @ 7:45PM

[Republic Of Leodensia]

Luciano Becchio always seems to get his name on the scoresheet despite baring a stark resemblance to The Milky Bar Kid, after a trip to the Hills Have Eyes.

Ha, brilliant. He's still my mancrush though. AHEM!...

Anyway, I don't think Warnock will take this cup seriously and will want to rest Austin and Becchio as we have some crucial league fixtures coming up. He put out a second string side against Oxford.

We have given Premiership sides some trouble in the past during cup ties and come away from their places with something, namely Man U, Arsenal and Tottenham, but that was a Leeds side which featured the likes of Howson and Snodgrass, two players that it will be hard to replace. If Austin does end up playing I expect he'll give it his all as usual, but we have yet to see what he's like against Premiership sides, especially one that has hit the ground running this season the way Everton have.

I'm gonna go with 3-0 to Everton.

Great write up Ijjy , that Rooney goal brings back memories , back when I thought he was gonna score 1 billion goals for Everton .

That 4-4 against these the best game i'v seen at Goodison still .

Always liked Leeds through a family member who supported them , but I hope we smash them .
Better not be off , few of us a good night planned on the ale for this .

I'd start with Vic and bring Jelavic back in for saturdays game .

Big chance this will be called off btw, torrential rain to continue around the country 'til Thursday apparently.

Would be gutting, like.

Be so gutted if it's called off, how early are they going to let us know though? Not going to have us half way to Leeds and turn us around on the coaches are they?

 

[tim cahill]

I don't like seeing anything with the word Mucha in it. He is basically responsible for us getting knocked out of this most years

Think that could be close to the side that plays. Maybe Osman for Neville, who will need the rest.

Probably. They'll leave it to the latest possible as it's all about the money from showing the game at the end of the day. Sky runs football.

 

[TX Bill]

Reasonably strong side. Naismith CM? I'm not so sure about that though

Looks good to me Tex, except I can only see Naismith starting out wide. Perhaps him and Pienaar swapped.

Ah yes. You're both correct. I was more concerned with the players on the pitch but was a bit rash in my placement. I thought Naismith played more through the middle but if he'd be better out wide, then that's great too. I just want to see him get 90 minutes for us along wth Gueye and Oviedo.

Can they come down here and play on the park round the corner?

No rain here

I just hope if they do call it off they do it early enough.

I hope this isn't called off

Mate from Chester said that it might be cancelled ffs..hopefully not

 

[Jags..class]

Not a fan of this cup to be honest, hate the final being so early and a massive distraction as well.

Chester you say? Anywhere else and I might have doubted that.
