Subs: Klaesson, Hjelde, Drameh, Klich, Forshaw, Summerville, Sinisterra, Gelhardt

Sadly, no Lord Bamford again - he's crocked, underscoring the need for a new striker as a back-up plan.
Good Morning, Bob.. Up and here to join you for the big early season match
COME ON LEEDS! MOT!
I just had a lively sing song on MOT with Maddox. He's a Leeds supporter already!
Morning, David - thanks for joining me!
Bright sunshine and a light breeze in Leeds. Do playing conditions get any better?
In the tunnel now - MOT!
Cheers, Bob. Glad to join you
The other 9 AM match is the Hammers vs the Seagulls
In the Championship Bristol City is two up vs Cardiff at the half. That's not idle gossip
They're off from ER!
Hi Boys,
Just back from a store run as they kick off
And we're underway at Elland Road - come on!
Struth.... gave Sterling a hell of a lot of room.... Hit wide!
Phew
Oh - early danger there down the left and Sterling really should have scored.
PHEW! Sterling nearly gave Chelsea the Leeds. Chelsea won the ball in midfield then Sterling went on a long run then curled a shot inches wide
TT was supposed to be banned from the touchline
What changed?
Good Morning Dave.
Morning, Dave - welcome!
Furious pace to this one from the off.
Looks like Rodrigo, Mr. Golden Boot, is occupying Lord Bamford's role. Good pressure from us.
Aaronson tackled Connor Gallagher then Jack shot straight to Mendy
Chelsea look really dangerous on the break.
Tongu N Cheek with a shot blocked for a corner off a Sterling p[ass
In terms of the GBB, it's a three way tie between Rodrigo , Zaha , and Mitrovic
Nasty one from Cheeky - should be a card.
Not exactly a Tongue N' Cheek challenge by Ruben on Jack
Sorry that was a mean Struikch on Chris . A cheap shot and how was that not even a card?
This match has started at a really fast pace and Koulibaly booked for a short pull on Aaronson
Just had problems with my computer!
I'm back now
Chelsea got a yellow...should have been two!
A correction . Bristol City two up vs Cardiff is a full time, not a half time result. Bristol City in seventh place, which is not idle gossip
This is already a really entertaining match. I'm enjoying it thoroughly.
Agreed. That was anything but an Tongue N' Cheek decision from Paul Tierney
Sadly, the Monday nighter probably won't be as entertaining unless you like one sided matches
So, Cardiff not holding Bristol, eh? Nudge nudge. Say no more!
I have faith that United will come good. Liverpool haven't been firing on all cylinders.
Sterling hits the net.... but the flag is up...well off
Bugger! My screen is frozen and it appears that Sterling has scored.
Phew - there's an offside flag on it.
bUGGER! STERLING GIVES CHELSEA THE LEAD. PHEW! DISALLOWED FOR OFFSIDE
I'm wondering if Bob would take a draw from this match.
The twins are having their morning nap now - football isn't really there thing yet.
BLOODY HELL! That is such a late offside flag. Chelsea won the ball back and were at the halfway line. how about playing the advantage? That's still in the rules
Hammers and Seagulls still scoreless
Do we want West Ham to get anything from this match....it would leave United as the only pointless team
I definitely would take a draw in this one. It would be a really good result against a top four side.
Rest is important, mate. They will be ready in a couple of years
Penalty to Brighton
I'm just fine with West Ham down in the dumps.
That's a good question, Dave. United need to start pulling their fingers out . I expect a rout tomorrow, but there are points to be won at St. Mary's on Saturday
VAR looking to see if it is in the box...looks like it is
Oh - Rodrigo has a go from an acute angle. He's full of confidence.
Just wide by Rodrigo. Still in a three way tie for GBB
It has been given
commentators talking about first. contact could be out the box
ABSOLUTE RUBBISH
Seagulls are flying...one nil
OH! Meslier did well rio turn a round a mounted shot from a Mason
Oh - Mount with a tame effort that nearly crept in the near post. Meslier did well to turn it around. Mark 'em up!
It was Alexis McAllister from the spot
Well done, the Seagulls!
Seagulls;lls are up to third place. I think, they were top around this time last season and ended up ninth
I'm not yet convinced by our new Scandinavian recruit Kristensen. Looking forward to seeing Luke Ayling back in the side.
If the Seagulls go two up then the Hammers will replace United at the foot of the table ahead of the Monday nighter
If Luke Ayling is back in the side would Christensen be a in the center of defense?Who would go to the subs bench?
The boys like it but I'm not that sure with United's new signing from Madrid
They said that Fed and Cas have not lost when playing together for Brazil
Will more be coming in? Anyone out?
Gulls go just wide
So far so good for Leeds
Long may it continue
Back from a trip to the bog and didn't miss any goals
Half an hour gone and I'm quite pleased so far.
I HATE the rule about passing the ball inside your own box from a goal kick! Why change it!
BLOODY PEP
Again, I have no idea why teams want to put themselves under pressure so close to your own goal
That new signing will make United even more defensive. Sound slider McTomain will be getting less playing time. Perhaps Erik doesn't fancy him as one of the ten Hags in front of De Gea
They needed someone back there that was better than McFred
Lovely run again from Aaronson and he found Rodrigo well. Good strike but well covered by Mendy.
WAY HAY1N BRENDAN AARONSON GIVES LEEDS THE LEAD
YESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!
Aaronson picked Mendy's pocket and we're 1-0 up!
ONE NIL!!!!
Craziness from Mendy!!
Bloody Pep...but love it right now
Congratulations , Bob. You must be in stitches with the way Mendy gifted Aaronson the goal
Dave, thought you would be amused. Also thought you would say bloody modern football, LOL!
Leeds up to third
Leeds now third ahead of the Seagulls on goals scored. Chelsea now in tenth place
Chelsea are really on the rack now and Sterling gives up a free kick perilously close to the penalty area. Come on!
Sterling booked for a trip on Jack Harrison inches outside the box
It is just stunning how they play now
Keepers and defenders aren't as skillful as strikers....why try and be
NOTHING is wrong with WHEN IN DOUBT, KICK IT OUT
Sterling in the book
YESSSSSSS!!!!!!
What a goal from Rodders!
WAY HAY! RODRIGO HEADS IN THE FREE KICK TO PIUT LEEDS TWO UP
Coingrats, mate! what a first half
TWO NIL!!!!!!
FANTASTIC!!
Kissgate...have both twins gotten one?
Great free kick and great finish!
The Golden Boot boy onto four goals now!
Don't concede before half time!
Leeds will be second if they go three up, which would move Chelsea down to twelfth place. Love it.
Correct . Rodrigo back as solo GBB
Hair Bear....hits a chance well wide...Useless!
The Cockroach with a useless effort.
A long Tongue N Cheek solo run then well wide by Cookoo Rella
We're two-nil up again - now we need to see this one out.
Nice descriptions, Bob and Dave
Leeds fans singing Chelsea is Holy Sh*@t . Nice lyrics
Who is United's Golden Boot best shot....OG
They better score in their next two games or OG has the August Goal of the Month Award
That was a crazy block
An NFL style clash between Gallagher and Rocca. The Leeds player came off second best
Now Roca's down for treatment.
Did you hear the Arsenal fans yesterday? When I tuned it in when I got back home I heard the Gooners singing
You're going down with United
Sterling tackled for a corner
I didn't hear the Gunners fans singing that, but strangely they may be correct
Of course, last season Arsenal were in United's position.
That's what I hate about the pundits who say teams are a million miles away from others.... things change quick!
A pair of stoppage time minutes
Agreed. United can move up the table ,but they will really need to improve
Blow up ref!
Off to take Trooper for morning walks. Will be back for the second half
Leeds fans seem to love the Yank
Half time
Fantastic half....come on Leeds....don't sit back...continue to play like this!
Bob is like Nixon....he keeps ignoring the GATE
I couldn't be happier with that first half. I agree with Dave - we just have to keep playing like that.
How am I like Nixon? What did I ignore? GATE?
Come on, boys - let's see this one out!
Teams coming out of the tunnel in London(delayed on the Cock)
We are off in Yorkshire!
Chelsea have never won a game in the Prem being two down at half
Did you answer Tricky Dicky?
I asked again about Kissgate!!
Did each twin get a kiss for the goals?
Next one is for Kate
Leeds can't sit back
Keep playing the same way
Hair Bear..... hits one high wide and horrible
Phew! Dangerous move there from Chelsea but it arrived on the Cockroach's right foot.
Nice stuff again and Rodders wins a corner. Let's have another!
Still think Sterling is rubbish
Yes, both twins got kisses in the crib. I have to admit that I woke Macy up on the first goal celebration.
Gallagher has a big chance...saved!
Offside anyway
Phew! Great save by Meslier but that flag goes up anyway.
Chelsea looking dangerous but we look like we could score on the break.
Just having a quick breakie
Kath made me Eggs in a Basket
Back for the second half. Not sure if I missed much
Finally.....answers!!
Leeds win a corner on the break
I picked Chelsea and United to finish outside the top four
United win tomorrow....they are above Pool...I'm just saying
I thought you might have waited until the twins were to wake up from their nap, but sounds like everything worked out
Did you see the Dortmund vs Werder B yesterday
Dortmund(at home) were 2-0 after 88.30....they lost 2-3
Leeds making a couple of changes....I wouldn't rock the boat!
I saw that. It was a collap[se against a newly promoted side. Two British players scored the Bremen goals
Adam Forshaw on for Rocca as Jesse March does Rocca the Boat
We're just about hanging on here.
Steve would have been delighted with the Gunners result yesterday, but not that of DC United.Were made to look like Philly cheesesteak after being hit for half a dozen without reply at home
Celtic one up vs Hearts
The Forshaw move was a good one.
Another American on the pitch...is this a record?
Celtic one up vs Hearetsand now top two pints ahead of Rangers
Puli on for Gallagher. Will Puli be moving before the end of the transfer window?
Good shot but well saved
Meslier does well to turn around d a shot from Reese James
Not sure if it's a record for Americans on the pitch Cottagers had multiple Americans playing for them , so there may have been more if they played someone like the Toffees with Landy, for example. I'm guessing no.
Seagulls two up!!
The other Leeds change was Ziyech for Jorginho
Leo brossard with that goal
Seagulls still fourth , behind Leeds on goals scored. We don't want the Seagulls to go three up.
Hammers now bottom behind United on OG scored. Now that's what I call pathetic
THREE NIL!!!
PLEASE BE ON SIDE!!
KATE GETS A KISS
WAY HAY! LEEDS GO THREE UP
He's on
Yessssss!!!!!!
Kisse all round!!!
3-0!!!!
Rodrigo did NOT POACH that goal. Nice cross from Dan James just over Aaronson's heads and Rodrigo passed to Jack Harrison for a tap in
Congratulations, Bob. This is amazing!
Struth....almost FOUR!!
OH! Leeds want four. Goal kick given but Coackroach Hair Bear blocked a Rodrigo a shot off a pass from Jack Harrison. Should have been a corner
Top of the Table
1 Arsenal
2 Leeds
Dahlgren Boys monopoly!!!
I'm owed a kiss is Leeds score four. Will you follow through, Bob, LOL?
Have been sent back to the early 70s without me knowing!
Can't wait to see some videos of Leeds fans celebrating this!
DON'T DO IT BOB!!
Correct, Dave. Leeds ahead of Spuds by virtue of alphabet soup. A second place standing calls for a celebration of a meal with alphabet soup
Absolutely, David - on both cheeks!
Leeds are second because of the alphabet
Leeds and Spurs have 7 points 7-3 in goals
Beat me to it David
If this score stands then Leeds will finish the weekend second if the Toon win the late one by less than three goals. Otherwise third place, which is still a tremendous achievement for Leeds
I DON'T want one..sorry mate
LOL, Dave. If you hadn't mentioned second then I would have still thought they were third
Just a reminder , we don't want any more Seagulls goals or else they will;l be second. Bob will have to be satisfied with the Hammers losing by two goals.
Drinkies in West Yorkshire. Is it really that hot? They said it's been a lot cooler this weekend
Oh, go on!
Love to see a Toon win!
I don't want City or Pool for the title of course
Let's have a North London battle...with Yorkshire pushing them hard?
Of courser, United to win their last 36 games of the season is also another possiblity
Chilly mounted on for Chelsea . I don't get that one other than it gives Chelsea more width. I know they're short on strikers
As long as the minutes are ticking off, I'm happy. A clean sheet would be the icing on the cake.
Alright....a little peck because it is Chelsea
On the other hand more Seagulls goals helps out United as the Hammers would be behind on goal difference heading into to tomorrow's match
I'm off on diaper duty - MOT!
United off the bottom!!
Where are we going? To the Top.
What top? THE VERY TOP!
quote from The Birth of Beatles...loved that movie growing up
Just a reminder that the late match is the battle of the golden gloves keepers . Wonder who will be ahead in that category at the end of that match
Come on M&M...control yourselves....Leeds are playing
Leeds making three more changes....stop playing with fire Jessie!!!
Great quote , Dave. Hope that happens.Haven't watched that movie in years, but a great source
Chelsea offside again... saved anyway!
Sterling couldn't score again..he stinks!
I know that Sinister Louie canoe on for Dan "Syd James."
I remember seeing the movie on when Mike was house sitting the biggest house in the village(he ended up buying it after JHJ) we rushed home and threw on a VHS tape to record it.
Watched it so many times(without the very beginning)
The final rolls of the dice from Jesse a she makes a triple change.
Chelsea down to ten....LOVE IT!
Absolutely deserved!!!
Score your lovely volley last week...and then Leeds take care of you this!!
WAY HAY! It goes from bad to worse for Chelsea as Koulibaly booked for a grab from behind on Sam Greenwood on a Leeds break
36,372 inside Elland Road this morning
That triple change was Sam Greenwood for Jack Harrison, Arronson being Kliched off the pitch, and Joffy on for Rodrigo in a Jiffy
These five subs....just stops the flow of the game so much!!
Brilliant attendance
Come Leeds...match Brentford from last week!!
Why is Chelsea bringing on an extra defender? They need goals? Does it make a difference whether they lose by three or five?
Come on Leeds....don't concede!
Final roll of the dice from the Temperamental Teuton. Azpi for Sterling. Only four subs , but three windows used
