Big news out of Elland Road this morning: Spitty Diouff has joined Leeds on a "no contract basis." Not exactly sure what that means.
No links today for the League Cup alas, so I'm going to be following the proceedings on Sky Sports News here:
http://www.thefirstrow.eu/watch/68515/1/watch-skysportsnews.html
The Olympic men's footer final starts at 10am as well - Brazil v. Mexico. Might as well watch that, eh?
Hey Bob, and everyone else. I'm in my seat at Wemberly awaiting the arrival of the two teams. The music is excruciatingly loud...... Way more support for brazil then the Mexicans
Mike.
First blast of "Marching on Together" for the new season.
We luv you Leeds, Leeds, Leeds!
Wow! Hiya, Mike - enjoy that match. Hope it's a cracker for you. I'll be watching on telly.
The Brazil v. Mexico match from Wemberley is on NBC Sports this morning. About to kick off along with those League Cup matches.
GOAL! An early, shock goal for Mexico at Wemberley!
27 seconds there for the Peralta goal. Wow!
Hey Boys,
I just saw you called the computer. There are headphones plugged in so I didn't hear it.
I am still working on the bathroom so not much comments from me for now
I see Mike commented here. I got an email too
First report from Elland Road. Apparently Spitty Diouf's name was booed when announced over the tannoy before the match. Fantastic! We are the best fans.
Morning, UWS - no love for the League Cup this morning?
First goal of the season. L2 Rochdale have taken the lead at home to Barnsley.
Crewe have taken a 1-0 lead over Jeff Stelling's Hartlepool. Good thing he's not hosting this morning.
Brazil beginning to impose themselves on the match after that shock early concession.
Walsall are 1-0 up over Brentford.
Looking at the goal again, it was a tragic mistake by ex-ManYoo man Rafael who played the ball straight across the box to a Mexican player under pressure.
Even steven at Elland Road according to the Sky News reporter. A bit of a lull in the match already. Looks like a big crowd over his shoulder.
Isn't Raf still a United player? Fabio went off on loan
Did you see that Rangers needed a last second equalizer to get a draw at Peterhead in the Scottish League Division Three
I thought Raf went to QPR - I'll check.
No, you're right - Raf is still at OT - it's his bruvver who's off to QPR on loan.
YESSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!
Becchio with our opening goal of the season!
Apparently it was new boy Rodolfo Austin with a stonking drive that the Shrewsbury keeper found too hot to handle. Becchio netted the rebound. Lovely jubbly!
1-0 Leeds!
Is there going to be a 'pick 'em' competition this season?
All I've got is Peterhead drawing newco :)
Morning, Someone - yes, indeed. I'm going to post and email the details later today. And we've got the new Shield to battle over this season.
Crewe are now 2-0 up over hapless Hartlepool.
I did hear about that shocking Rangers draw. How the mighty have fallen. Cor!
YESSSSSS!!!!!
New boy Luke Varney has added to our lead.
2-0!
Leeds are two up!
Being dominated but two up!
Off to the store
Ross McCormack setting up Varney for that second goal, apparently.
Yes, apparently our new keeper Paddy Kenny has been a busy boy. I'm much happier with him between the sticks than with Andy Lonergan.
Early sub for Brazil at Wemberley - Hulk is coming on to replace Alex Sandro.
Boro have taken the lead away to Bury.
Crewer are running riot over Hartlepool. 3-0 now.
Lovely! The Blades have conceded at home to Burton Albion. Not a big club.
Oh - great save by the Mexican keeper Corona from a drive by Hulk.
Oh - lovely stuff by Brazil there. A nice ball in from Oscar to Leandro who laid off to Marcelo. Just wide.
4-0 Crewe! Crikey!
Carlisle are 1-0 up at home to Accrington Stanley. Who? Exactly!
Lovely! The Dons are down to ten men. Adam Gleeson sent off.
Just sent a picture from Mike at Wemberlee
This is from Mike's email from earlier
Well, we're her at Wemberly! Pretty impressive but a bit generic. Feels like it could be anywhere. Doesn't have the special feel the old lady did.
And the music is bleedin loud.
Half time at Elland Road. 2-0. Very satisfactory. Happy chappy.
Half time at the Big Arch and Mexico still lead
So Mike is behind Mexico's bench... I asked he made some funny sign to get on the telly... he didn't
Shame that Mike didn't make an effort to get on the telly. Maybe he's camera shy...
Barnsley have equalized at Rochdale.
I agree with Mike about the new Wemberley even though I've never been there. I felt the same way about the Emirates - it didn't feel unique like the old Highbury did with the postage stamp pitch and the Art Deco stand. The new stadia are comfy but somewhat soulless.
Bugger! The Blades have equalized. 1-1.
Four Mexican defenders are surrounding Neymar every time he touches the ball now.
Steve Bruce is making a dismal debut at Hull. Rotherham have taken a 0-1 lead at the KC.
My link changed to tennis
Mine did too, so I popped off it and clicked on the Sky Sports News link again and it came up footer.
I am back to SSN
Wolves have taken the lead at Molineux against Aldershot. Ebanks-Blake with the goal.
Wolves take the lead against Aldershot
Why is the League Cup games being played on the weekend? It is a midweek competition!
The Football League usually start a week earlier than the Prem... why didn't it start today
Two quick goals at Bury. First Boro took a 0-2 lead and now Bury have pegged one back.
1-2 there - game on!
Yes! Cheltenham have equalized against the ten men Dons.
I don't understand it at all. First, I thought they had delayed the start of the League season until the following week because of the Olympics. That makes some sense. But then why start the League Cup this weekend?
NEVER lost in the first round of the league cup!
Fairly low key at Elland Road according to the SS reporter.
oooh, off the bar with a bicycle kick by Mexico
That's quite a record, eh? I didn't know that.
Mexico have looked good - Brazil a bit flat. They don't quite have the killer instinct with this side yet.
Oh - Damiao should have done better with that header. Just not going right for the boys from Brazil today.
ball in the net... but offside
Mexico have it in the net again but it's ruled offside.
Wow - Aldershot have leveled it at Molineux against Wolves.
FOUR NIL LEEDS!!
Wolves have been pegged back!
YESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!
4-0!
Norris with the third and then Ross with a pen for four!
TWO NIL MEXICO!!!!
Wow - that's surely sealed it. Mexico 2-0 up!
Hull have equalized at the KC.
Uribe Peralta - never heard of him but what an Olympic hero!
Oh - how did Thiago Silva miss that chance at the back post!
As it stands now, Boro, Carlisle, Crew, Leeds, Barnsley and Walsall are all winning and will go into the 2nd road draw tomorrow.
Brazil stink
Interesting, the drawn matches will go to extra time today. Is that a new policy in the League Cup?
GOAL!!
IS THERE STILL A CHANCE!
GOAL! Hulk has pulled one back for Brazil! Game on?
I think that is the case in the early rounds of the league cup
How many added minutes at Wem?
It's Route 1 time for Brazil.
OH - what a miss!!!!!!!
Just asked Mike, they're staying for the medal ceremony
WHAT A MISS FROM BRAZIL BY OSCAR.
I hope Tony wasn't watching that. It was his new Chelskilad Oscar with the miss of the summer. Wow!
THAT'S IT!!
MEXICO ARE GOLD MEDAL WINNERS!
Mexico win it! First time Olympic winners. Silver again for Brazil.
5-0 Crewe! Jeff Stelling must be gutted!
Lucky he isn't in the studio
Full time at Elland Road. 4-0!
Great start to the season. Bring on the Championship!
Good result for Leeds... are you completely behind them this season
uh oh... Shrewsbury were the better team!
New needs Spitty Diouf!?
Completely behind them from the off this season. Come on, you Whites!
ABOUT TIME... I was disgusted with your behavior last season
Rochdale have notched a late, late equalizer through a Jason Kennedy penalty. Extra time to come there at Spotland.
You can take your disgust and stick it up your left nostil!
I think I will
We're back, baby. LUFC!
