Kamptråd CC: Leeds - Manchester United

[The Hoff]

Tirsdag 20. september 2045

 

Ligacupen er i gang. Flott anledning for M. United å revansjere det smått utrolige tapet mot Leeds for to sesonger siden.

 

Mye unggutter i stallen, i tillegg til et ekstremt skadeutsatt forsvar. Pogba skal få spilletid, om det er fra start eller ikke gjenstår å se. I tillegg har Diouf levert varene på reservelaget, så jeg tipper han blir å finne i startoppstillingen.

 

Tipper følgende startoppstilling:

 

Amos

 

Keane Jones Evans Fabio

 

Valencia Pogba Carrick Park

 

Diouf Berbatov

Her skal Berba starte, ellers vet jeg ikke hva jeg gjør! Vi skal revansjere oss for tapet sist.

[Ol'H]

Mike Jones dømmer, forvent en dommer uten de store diplomatiske evnene, ei heller evnen til å se an kamputviklingen før han gir hastige gule kort. Gjør dog sjeldent store feil, det er likevel en stor sjanse for mange gule når han kompenserer for sin manglende myndighet.

[tobn]

Heia United!

[NightKeeper]

0-1-tapet er noe av det flaueste jeg har opplevd som United-supporter, derfor litt skeptisk til at vi kanskje stiller litt for urutinert i dag. Leeds kommer til å kjempe som løver, og det er alltid et helvete å spille på Elland Road. Jeg håper vi vinner, og jeg håper vi vinner hardt. To tap mot saueknullerne på to år vil være hardt for meg å svelge. Hater Leeds.

[Old Game]

Rosenes derby og et av de tradisjonelt største oppgjørene i engelsk fotball. Lancashire vs Yorkshire, geografien sier ca syv mil mellom byene. For oss er Liverpool og City de største kampene i året uansett, men for Leeds er United samfunnsfiende nummer 1. Heller dead then red. Leeds, City og Liverpool er våre hatkamper på kalenderen og det er lenge mellom hver gang vi møter Leeds, mao en sikkelig godbit i aften. Nesten litt surt at den kommer inneklemt på ei tirsdag og tidlig i mikkemusen for ellers hadde vi nok stilt en mye sterkere 11'er og kunne gitt Leeds en omgang gris. Isteden blir det å forvente en nokså jevn kamp mellom et toppet Leeds og et svært redusert United

 

 

Lee Sharp

 

GORDON McQUEEN (Leeds 1972-78; Manchester United 1978-85)

 

“When I left Leeds to sign for United, I said that “99 per cent of players want to play for Manchester United and the other one per cent are liars”. It didn’t do me any favours because the rivalry was already intense and I probably wound people up a bit more by saying that.

"On my first game back at Elland Road with United, they were selling T-shirts with 'Judas' on them and there were chants of 'Scum' whenever I touched the ball.

 

"I went back to watch a pre-season game last summer and had to leave because of the stick I was getting, more than 30 years later!

 

"It's a strange rivalry. At United, the big game was always against Liverpool, but Elland Road was always the most hostile and intimidating away game.

 

"I don't know why the rivalry became so nasty. In my early days at Leeds, United were never a threat and the hostility wasn't there, but it seemed to increase with United winning things and Leeds struggling.

 

"It has become unbearable for Leeds fans now because United have been so successful under Sir Alex Ferguson. But Leeds against Manchester United is up there with Arsenal-Spurs, Liverpool-United and it's one that the Premier League really misses."

 

LEE SHARPE (Manchester United 1988-96; Leeds 1996-99)

"When I played at Elland Road with United, Sir Alex Ferguson's pre-match team-talk was always the same: 'Get in there, get a result and get out as quickly as we can because we are not welcome here'. It was always such a hostile and abusive atmosphere when United played at Leeds and tonight will be exactly the same.

 

"When I left Old Trafford for Leeds in 1996, I was never really worried about the animosity between the supporters because I'm a pretty laid-back guy and I knew I could win people over on the pitch. And I enjoyed Leeds so much that I still live in the city now.

 

"But whenever I am in a pub and Manchester United appear on the television, even my mates will look at me and call me 'scum' — I think they are doing it out of humour! Even after 15 years in Leeds, nobody has ever been able to explain the rivalry to me.

 

"Obviously, people in Leeds think that Sir Alex robbed them of Eric Cantona, but it goes back way beyond that. They are straight-talkers in Leeds and don't have the patter of Mancunians, but the thing they have in common is that the animosity is just as strong on either side."

 

PADDY CRERAND (Manchester United 1963-71)

"It was a battle every time we played Leeds. It was never a football match, but they had the dirtiest player of all time in Johnny Giles — and you can print that because I have said it to his face a million times.

 

"Johnny was a great player at United, but Sir Matt Busby let him go, and when he went to Leeds he became a pupil of Bobby Collins, who was a real hatchet man.

 

"Don Revie's Leeds team never got the credit they deserved, but maybe that's because the way that they behaved and acted didn't gain the respect of people.

 

"I think Leeds were doing a bit of diving before people knew it was part of the game, but they had a great side and they didn't have to do it.

 

"People had grudging respect for the success we had at United under Sir Matt because of the way we played, but there was no respect for Leeds and that partly explains the rivalry.

 

"United and Liverpool dislike each other intensely, but there is a grudging respect and admiration between both clubs. There is none of that between United and Leeds."

 

NORMAN HUNTER (Leeds United 1962-76)

"There has always been a strong rivalry between Leeds and Manchester United, probably going back to the Sixties, but it was never as bad as it is now.

 

"Some people say that it all dates back to an FA Cup semi-final at Hillsborough in 1965, but I think the way it is today is a reflection of Manchester United being top dogs.

 

"Leeds is my club and I still go to all the games at Elland Road, but I don't know where the hatred and intense rivalry has come from.

 

"When I played, the rivalry was there, but it was no different to the rivalry we had with Liverpool. The games were always hard fought because we were going for the same prizes, but the ugly stuff has crept in much more recently.

 

"Mention Manchester United to anybody in Leeds and we don't like it, but our challenge at the moment is getting back on to the same stage as United so we can try to recreate our past glories.

 

"We went to Old Trafford as a League One side 18 months ago and beat United 1-0 and that meant so much to our supporters. They have seen us do it once against United and hopefully we can do it again at Elland Road."

 

PETER LORIMER (Leeds United 1963-79; Director 2004)

When Leeds-born Alan Smith left Elland Road for Old Trafford in 2004, he went back on a public claim that he would "never play for Man United".

 

Former player Peter Lorimer, then a Leeds director, has admitted that Smith was pushed into the move by the financial crisis at Elland Road at the time.

 

Lorimer said: "I was asked personally by the board to ring Sir Alex Ferguson to let him know that Alan was available if he was interested and tell him how much we were looking for.

 

"The reason he had to go there [united] was that we were so pressed for money, and it was such a desperate situation, that they were the only team who could pay us the full amount there and then.

 

"The other teams who were interested - as with most transfers nowadays - were on partial payment terms over a longer period of time. But the club was in such dire straits we needed the money there and then. That was the reason why he went there.

 

"Alan might not have chosen Manchester United had he been given the choice, but he wasn't."

Remember the date,

We beat the team that we f*cking hate.

 

Vet ikke om dere Manchester supportere fikk med dere denne filmen, men den varmer hvertfall et Leeds hjerte.

Hva i alle dager for et lag er det vi stiller med?

 

Kan ikke se for meg noe annet enn at berbatov spiller sentralt sammen med giggs.

 

EDIT: Skulle noen ha en Csports-tilgang de har lyst til å låne bort, si gjerne i fra på PM.

Det er det snåleste og særeste laget jeg har sett SAF komme med EVER.

[Old Game]

Arsenal i fjor var det merkeligste, haha, hvor trist for the gooners at vi vant 2-0 læll!

[kandinsky]

Det blir hakkete stream o Hansa fatøl på meg i kveld. Hvem er Fryers? Aldri sett han. Får i det minste håpe han er CB da. Utvilsomt det merkeligste jeg har sett.

[Old Game]

Har gjort det bra på reservelaget niko, derfor han får sjansen. Har betalt 60 spenn for en c+ stream, nåde faen om den sækker like mye balle som viasat sin. Kiwisport har jo bedre kvalitet på sine streams enn man betaler for enkelte steder.

[Alastor]

60,- for kampbillett på csports? det er jo verdt det.

[Corey]

United starting 11 against Leeds in the League Cup tonight

Amos - Valencia - Carrick - Fryers - Fabio

Macheda - Park - Giggs - Diouf

Owen - Berbatov

 

Valencia som back igjen? What the deuce? Greit han gjorde sakene sine veldig bra mot Chelsea og er sterk som et dyr, men bør vi ikke gi et talent sjansen eller noe?

 

Og Carrick???

 

Edit:

 

Syyyyykt sein her ja
