morning all. Bright start for Leeds. Long my that last.
Morning, Steve - I’m on my phone as my laptop is banjaxxed this morning. Trying to log into my Blue Devil profile.
Another close one for Leeds. I like this but would like it more if they went in.
Very bright start for the Whites!
Isn't that annoying when that happens? But your boys look good here so far. Lord Bam with a hopeful crack after spotting the sub keeper off his line. I'm a bit bored with those unless they go in. And they often do not.
Oh - two chances for Sini in quick succession.
All these chances. Your running things at the moment.
How’s your weekend going? Do you get Easter Monday off?
So how are the M&Ms celebrating Easter? Not with chocs yet probably. Maybe next year.
No. We get Federal Holidays but not religious ones. For such a deep Irish background it's a scandal that we don't get Good Friday off.
I hope we don’t rue these missed chances.
Good Morning! WAY HAY! LORD BAMFORD HEADS IN A CORNER FOR A LEEDS LEAD
Perfect timing . Just walked in from walkies. Congratulations, Bob
What a goal. I loved the flight of the ball of Lord Bam's noggin. Leeds is well worth that lead.
Good Morning, Bob and Steve
Yes, Patrick, you beauty! It’s Lord Bamford’s 50th goal for the club!
Leeds now twelfth , five points clear of the drop zone. No wonder why Bob has a nosebleed!
Morning Al Prez.
Good Morning, Steve. Happy Easter to both of you
PHEW! palace nearly equalize! Header from Schlupp off a corner off the post
Whew. There are a few moments gone that you won't want back.
Oh, dear - free header off the post. A teal letoff.
Next is the match from Anfield on the COCK. Hoping the Gunners thrash the Reds in front of the KOP.
Marc Guehy fouls Junior Firpo just outside the Palace box
You'd love to see Brendan do something special with this free kick wouldn't you? Ah, it's Jack nearly sneaking it in at the back post
OH! Sam Johnstone turns around a free kick from Jack Harrison
Then a free header from Koch straight to Sam Johnstone
Agreed , Steve, as long as it's Aaronson, not Rodgers
Johnson was a Man Utd kid, right? Don't remember him at all.
Nice free kick by Jack, tipped around.
Sharky can eff-off all the way to SeaWorld for my taste.
Steve, you must be thinking about the late match on the COCK. First match on the COCK where you can click for live statistics. Like Citeh and the Spain National Team, I'll constantly pass
Very much on my mind.
Yes he was. I think other than pre season friendlies, he never played for the first team. Also I think he went on loan to PNE. I'll check FOTMOB
I'll be rooting for the Gunners to thrash the Reds in front of the KOP
Another free header! We must tighten up on set pieces.
Koch's not been within a mile of his man on these corners. He needs shouting at.
Morning, David!
Just checked Johnstone. Never played a first team match for United, but was loaned to numerous clubs. Most notable loans were PNE and a season and a half on loan any Villa when they were in the Championship
Eze is a bit pint-sized but he's too classy to be at Palace too much longer.
Good Morning, Bob. Happy Easter
Agreed about Koch, but he's been inconsistent throughout his Leeds career. Also, spent on about Eze does it!
I wonder if M&M have learned what Blow Up Ref means? Bob must be shouting that
Eze is young enough that some weight training in the off season might help. He keeps getting eased off the ball far too easily. He's small but very eye-catching.
Free kick from Aaronson well saved off a well Strujched header
I agree about Eze and would give a similar description to Mike Olise.
What's the deal? Now Paddy Stuick gets on the end of a cross into the box and nearly scores. But defending a set piece, it's Dad's Army "Don't Paniccccccccc!!!!!" all match.
Junior Firpo booked for a foul on Mike Olise
Free kick from Mike Olise straight to Meslier
I don't rate Olise. He's very standard. It would't surprise me to see him drop down a division or piss off to Belgium to continue his career. And he's also a bit of a short-arse. Look at that pedestrian effort, just there. No quality, straight at the keeper from a set-piece.
Eze does it as Marc Rocca is called fora foul. A minute of stoppage time
FFS!
BUGGER! GUEYE TIES IT UP FROM THE FREE KICK. HEADED ON THEN GUYE DIVERTED IT IN. WAS HE OFFSIDE? VAR CHECKING
Looks like he was kept on.
Bugger it stands. Really sorry, Bob
It's 1-1 at the half. All to play for in the second half
Bugger! Palace get a cheap one to level things up right on the stroke of half time. Grrr!
Alright. All to play for in the second half. Stop giving Palace free kicks in your half because that's all they've got to offer.
The latest Harry Pearson column in WSC was remarking on watching young kids playing and seeing their corner taker raise his arm before taking corners and realizing it wasn't to indicate anything about where he was planning to put the ball.
But funnier still was the goal-scorers goal celebration, pointing two fingers at the sky, with his family including his grandparents both alive and well cheering on the touch line that he'd just scored.
The second d half is underway.
COME ON LEEDS! MOT!
Agreed about Palace, Steve. If Leeds correct that then they should win unless Sam Johnstone has a blinder debut. I'm sure Harvey Grace stated that at the half
LOL! Good to know howe meaningless some of these things are
Meslier down after colliding with Jeff Schlupp then down on a cross he should have caught
Joe Ward booked for a foul on Bamford.
Cheers, boys - we need the mojo!
BUGGER! JORDAN AYEW HEADS IN A CORSS FROM MIKE OLISE. PALACE LEAD 1-2. SORRY, BOB.
Oh balls! Ayew nods Palace into the lead!
It all started with an Ayling Johnny Wilkinson style up and under goner horribly wrong. Sorry, Bob
BLOODY HELL! 1-3 PALACE AS MIKE OLISE POUT THROUGH EZE TO SCORE PAST THE STRANDED MESLIER. SORRY, BOB
Palace now twelfth, half a dozen points clear of the drop zone. Leeds in sixteenth , a pair of points clear of the drop zone.
wTH? I get back from my half time comfort break and it's all gone to hell. I am David Nocito in disguise.
Sorry Bob.
Gnonto and Rodders to the rescue!
A triple change to be made by Harvey Grace. Kristensen, Rodrigo, and Willy about to come on.
Junior Firpo, Brendan Aaronson, and Sinister Luis off.
LOL! Nocito Curse in full effect this morning.
Welcome back, Steve.
That's what I was thinking, Bob.
A bit disappointed to see Aaronson's craft depart, but Gnonto and Rodders on is positive. Get-in Leeds. MO-bloody T!
If I have to watch another non-fancy player lose possession after a ill-advised back-heel, I'm going to lose my nugget.
That’s it - lights out.
BUGGER! ODD SON, EDDIE GIVES PALACE A 1-4 LEAD ON THE BREAK. NICE FINISH PAST MESLIER
Bloody Hell. Sorry Bob. This is a sad set-back that I didn't see coming.
Really Sorry, Bob. This one is done and dusted.
It came off a spell of Leeds pressure and a break lead by Mike olive, who found Odd son Eddie, who scored past Meslier
Mike Olise with a hat-trick of assists. A shame we're not saying that about Jack.
BLOODY HELL! JORDAN AYEW MAKES IT 1-5! SORRY, BOB.
How is that not offside?
Shot from Will Hughes came off a Leeds player and Ayew scored with just Meslier to beat. Kristensen kept him onside. VAR checking, but it should stand
Sorry mate. I don't want to watch any more of this. Cheerio and here's to better days in the future.
BUGGER, it stands. Sorry, mate
I second that, Steve. Will anyone be around for the match from Anfield
1-5 it is; Javi will have his work cut out for him getting the side ready to meet Liverpool in eight days.
Thanks for hanging in there with me for this one. Not our day, but we’ve still got every chance of surviving. We’ll need to pick ourselves up this week.
Come on, you Gunners!
