Another Big Day for the Uniteds!
After that, United travel to Selhurst Park for another chance to build their Champions League case. Sounds like a day for the roses, eh? Let's be having two big wins then.

Leeds United make one change to the starting XI from the Swansea win, with the injured Kalvin Phillips replaced by Gaetano Berardi. Matchwinner Pablo Hernandez is again left on the bench.
My link didn't open after the 11:50 mark... refreshed...now "accessing"!!
Got it!! Event about to start
I picked English not Spanish.... is that wrong of me?
Come on.....start already!
The squad for today's match:
Meslier, Ayling, Berardi, Coop, Stu Dallas, White, Klich, Jack, Helder, Tyler, Patrick.
Subs: Casilla, Casey, Douglas, Struijck, Stevens, Shackleton, Alioski, Poveda, Pablo
You beat me to it, as usual! ;-)
Work was nuts today - I may have to run back after the match. and hopefully tune in for some of the United match.
Finally... it starts!
"GIANT STRIDE"
Our old friend Alex Mowatt is back at Elland Road today in Barnsley colors. Let's hope he doesn't want to do us ill today.
Do if for BIG JACK
Absolutely - Big Jack wants a win!
We are off!!
Barnsley to get us going - come on, you Whites!
Top vs Bottom... Score early and often!
The commentator needs to schtum right away with all of that chat about us.
Early corner chance for us - no Kal Phillips in the fold tonight so it'll be Jack Harrison taking them.
Hiya Chaps! Top vs Bottom but each team with all to play for. Good luck Leeds. MOT!!
I'd love an early goal to settle the nerves.
Welcome Steve...congrats on yesterday's result!
Stopped them getting to 100!!! Lovely Jubbley!!
Of course, now I am big Liverpool fan for Chelsea match
Cheers, Steve - great to have you on board for this one. We need it.
I'll be watching the Prem matches on the computer for the first half...all in with Leeds tho
The commentator is trying to put the mockers on us, I'm convinced.
Step it up Leeds... get going
Cheers, mate!
Is Pablo just too old to go a whole 90 minutes or is here there for late impact
What about my comment a week or so ago... Beilsa stays a year... in comes POCH
I don't know what to say about yesterday. I never want us to lose or play badly, but in the state the club is in, I wanted that result and effort away to Spurs instead. Instead, we lost and then win against 11 deckchairs on the Mersey. So, mixed feelings about our priorities.
Leeds have the modern day disease so far... not going forward!
Lunch has arrived at my side courtesy of Kate.
Understood Steve... I didn't see most of the derby...I did read that Arsenal were the better team
Kathy delivering mine soon
No such luck at Gooner71 GHQ. I'll have to scramble at the half to get a lunch in.
Did she deliver a win?
That would be great... win today... get a point at Derby...and celebrate on their pitch after last season!!!
Yeah, this commentator is definitely trying to inject a bit of needle in a match that really doesn't have more than both teams trying to win.
Still - a valuable win for the Gunners.
Not happy with this start!
STRUTH.... thought Barnsley had scored!
Phew - Barnsley were in there. Heart in mouth time.
Useless effort
I guess I should picked the Spanish commentary!!
Knock it off, Barnsley!
I think Elland Road's cardboard fans look the best of any I've seen
Good move there from Jack, despite the unfortunate man bun. Earns a corner.
Lots of legends in attendance today. No Osama bin Laden I trust.
Oh - Tyler was nearly in there. Defender did well to get back.
No doubt I'm happy with the 3 from yesterday. But winning every time against them, and now days, him, is a bigger priority.
I want the days back when we had 3-4 that would take it as a stain on their character if the Arsonists even got a corner. There's no-one in the squad who seems to care. Or seems to care as much as I do. It's upsetting.
Do either of you know about this Bellingham bloke!
United wanted him... going to Dortmund...is he any good?
Just over hype?
Leeds corner beats first man...and last man
Barnsley a yo-yo club between the Championship and L1.
Why are Barnsley wearing red instead of that Hogwarts kit?
Barnsley need to knock it off!
weak effort from Bamford!
Bellingham is a mystery to me, but not his move to Dortmund. Seems to me that the best place for a young English or American player to learn his craft is the Bundesliga, out of sight from over-promotion.
Don't know Bellingham but I'll do some anoraking on him.
DAMN IT!!
I think I would have done better than Patrick there
Anticipate the ball flashing across the six
Lay it back to a teammate too!
I often think that Dave.
Modern Day football...the score would have been the same if both keepers were still in the dressing room!
Oh - that free kick could have gone anywhere!
Good Afternoon Bob, Dave,and Steve. Here to join you for the match from ER. Did I Miss much
I think at the water-break, Beilsa needs to gee-up his 11 and remind them that Barnsley are dead last for a reason. Leeds playing down to their level.
Oh - nearly there for us; Helder with some great work. Patrick needs to stay on side!
Get the shot off!!!
SO FRUSTRATING WATCHING THE MODERN PLAYER!
Bamford offside off a close range block from Jack Walton off a scuffed shot from Kal Phillips
Talk to them Marcelo!
Drinkies at ER
Not good enough, yet. The longer this goes on, the more pressure there will be on our boys.
You need one of those brown shirts with Leeds on the back!
Welcome MUR
Play resumes at ER
Come on, you Whites!
Cheers, Dave
Hiya, David! Welcome!
Not sure who Bellingham is unless he's a Championship payer. Surprised he's at a club like Dortmund
Barnsley guy should have shot.... commentator says he got a shot away....no he didn't!
It was blocked
STRUTH....just wide!
Phew! Barnsley header just wide of the mark! Knock it off!
Ooof. Too close that.
OH! A header from a Barnsley corner is just wide
Plays for Birmingham....but everyone wants him
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OG BUT WHO CARES!!
Get-in! Leeds 1-0.
YESSSSSSS!!!!!!!!
Looks like an own goal in the end but Patrick did the yeoman's work.
1-0 Whites!
I thought Bamford blew it!!
BOB...stop running around the house!!
YESSSSSSSSSS!!!!! LEEDS TAKE THE LEAD. SHOT FROM BAMFORD BLOCKED THEN OFF THE PLAYER WHO MISSED THE FREE HEADER AT THE OTHER END FOR AN OG
Perfect response to that very near thing from their corner. Wallop.
As things stand Leeds a point from clinching promotion. A Baggies loss at the Terriers tomorrow will help
NOW SCORE ANOTHER!!
Helder Costa tackled by OG player for a corner
Corner punched away by Walton
If the Baggies drop any points vs the Terriers then Leeds are up
Thanks Dave. He could be like Sancho and playing for England before we know it. JONJO Kenney did well with Schalke as did Rabbi Matondo, who is loan from Citeh
My wish list for today
A Leeds United win
A Leicester loss
A Man Utd win
Blow up, ref!
My wish list for today
A Leeds United win
A Leicester loss
A Man Utd win
Bob hoping for help from Leeds's W Yorkshire neighbors.
COME ON YOU TERRIERS
That sounds like a good order of business, Dave.
I've just searched images for Barnsley's kits and they've abandoned the Hogwarts kit that they wore when they embarrassed us 5 years ago.
No idea why it posted twice!
I have the same wish list for today
Anderson shanks one out for a corner for us. Let's make the most of this one.
Leeds with a free kick just outside the BArnsley box
Bob and I just turned 36 when Leeds were promoted last!!
Of course, were champions of the land two years later... bloody cheats!
Bamford...get in front of those defenders...that was a tape in!
Barnsley struggle to clear from the free kick
As I said, best place for under 20 players is the Bundesliga. The Germans take player development very seriously and have produced some real gems.
Tyler Roberts took too long to shoot off a pass from Stu Dallas
Agreed Steve. The Bundesliga has helped American players in that regard too
LOL! As Wee Gordon Strachan put it, that title was "easy."
In Bielsa We Trust!
Useless cross by Costa.... rubbish modern day cross!
What are they thinking?
Oh - we should have profited from that chance. Final balls weren't good enough.
Nice run by Harrison pass the right back, but useless final ball
Great run by Harrison... and then...you know what... a pisspoor cross!!
These guys are professional!!!
4th official didn't pass the mask wearing exam.
12:39 comment....shut it Gordo and Robo
Barnsley manager arguing with the fourth official. He should spend more time addressing his team's poor performances
We'd have had some more if we hadn't flogged King Eric that summer. Worst mistake ever.
Barnsley right back, Ludwig look like anything but Beethoven with his sloppy defending
We could say the same about Johnny Giles. Every team does one at some time or another
We didn't get Cantona until November....you guys were naff the whole season....Defending Champions that NEVER won a match away from home all season
The Real United were ripped off!
A pair of stoppage time minutes
Oh - close call there.
Wasn't Bamford in...didn't seem to run onto the ball!!
Why let it run!!! Touch it toward the goal!
One last chance for us before the interval. Come on!
I think Patrick worried about being flagged offside in that play.
Something to build upon for the second half.
That's it
Half way there!
Half way to win
MORE than half way to four points
Half-time - we haven't played that well, but so far, so good on the scoreline. I'd take this as a final score in a heartbeat.
36th round of the Prem ends on Friday with a bottom clash of West Ham vs Watford

Teams coming out in the Prem
Got both matches on my laptop
"best league in the world" relegated to the computer....Leeds on the telly
Everton vs Aston Villa is the most played top tier fixture....I think they have exactly the same number of wins
Off at Goodison and Bramall Lane
Sorry...King Power
Blades go close early!
Back out at Elland Road...oh good would this have been with a packed crowd!
Will the Leeds fans do what the Liverpool fans did?
Off we go
Back on for the second half now. Helder Costa has a problem now.
Come on Leeds... SCORE
It'sLEEDS TIME!!
I'm feeding my father-in-law lunch so I'll be in and out commenting, but watching both matches
Looks like Alioski is being prepared to replace Helder Costa.
You're a good man, David.
Phew! Chaplin goes just a whisker wide with an effort across goal. Nearly gave me heart palpitations.
Now Styles goes just wide. We are dicing with death here.
Struth...just wide again from Barnsley
KNOCK IT OFF
Time for Leeds to go down and score just like the last time they went so close!
This is reminding me of Brentford match yesterday!
Brentford were second best in the second half!
ANOTHER CHANCE....PHEW
Costa being stretchered off!
I missed what happened
I didn't see that Pablo had replaced Tyler Roberts at the interval.
We definitely need a second goal to wrap this one up.
Helder Costa a huge loss for Leeds, but Ali a decent replacement
It was kind of a freak collision on the side line. Looks bad. We've already lost Kal Phillips for the season.
late flag...hate that new rule too!
"As soon as Bamford touched the ball, the flag is raised."
That about sums up Patrick's season. He does stray offside a bit.
I'm hoping that Leeds fans are more sensible than Liverpool fans were.
Leeds look really bad today...at both ends
We were fortunate that the Barnsley lad was too casual there.
We do look really out of sorts.
Can't wait for this one to be over. Too much pressure.
Pascal Strujk, the 20 year old Dutchman, to replace Jack. I haven't seen this guy before. Hope he's good.
Corner to Barnsley now. Mark em up!
We're really being far too casual at the back. Another stupid giveaway there.
Leeds are getting swarmed over here!!
Drink break is needed soon better than later
Bamford's really doing well to defend these corners - almost like having another center half back there.
You're right - we're not responding well to the high pressure tactics of Barnsley.
Not exactly his job!!
Stu Dallas with a stupid foul there.
Phew - header on goal is straight at Meslier.
BLOODY HELL
BURY IT!!!!
Oh - a lovely sweeping move there ends with Bamford pulling a good save out of Walton. Might have been 2-0.
Good save, but Bamford perhaps could have put his foot through and scored.
That was a decent effort, no? Would you have hit it with the laces there instead of trying to side foot it?
Drinks break now. I'm on pins and needles. Not really enjoying this one.
I guess so but....you're a striker... beat the keeper!!
Absolutely the laces. Power would have seen that in the back of the net.
I'm sure that there's a Harry Kane DVD that Patrick should be watching. They are similar, but Bamford should be trying to finish better.
Oh - Patrick nearly in there again. Out for the corner.
It strikes me that he's just an under confident striker. When he's scoring, it just comes easily to him but when he's not, he overthinks it. Over elaborates.
Under twenty minutes to play now - really nervous.
That's all probably true.
Shut it, Pleat!
Which one of these teams are on top and which on is on the bottom!
Phew - Meslier is forced to tip over there. Far too space there for Woodrow in the box.
What are the defenders doing....there wasn't a guy with in ten feet of him inside the box
Bob is pulling his hair out....well...if he could
Marcelo looks really angry now. He knows they haven't been good enough today.
I would be, that's for sure!
Okay then, that corner came to nothing. Someone really needs to put their foot on the ball and sort us out. Pablo maybe.
Pablo on now would be a blessing
Glad to see the back of Brown now - he's been dangerous.
Leeds just came off a huge late win... I thought they would be buzzing for this one!
He's been on since half-time but he just hasn't been in the match yet. He needs to assert his influence.
Coming up to the last ten minutes... many stoppages?
No - there's just too much pressure on them today.
Crikey! I hadn't noticed that change at all.
GO FORWARD... going backwards and sideways!
BLOODY PEP
That pass back gets a clap from the canned crowd noise too.
Under ten to play now - hang in there!
Barnsley player went over in the box - heart in mouth again. Nothing doing from the ref.
Leeds time. MOT!
