Well done Leeds!

[Legend10]

Leeds and Spurs proved yesterday that with positive attitudes the FA Cup is alive and well.

I thought that the game yesterday was a cracking game of football played in a sizzling cup tie atmosphere and Leeds should take massive credit for that. By coming and having a real go at us they left themselves open to a potential hammering but decided to be positive and go for the win anyway.

For the first 20 minutes they took an absolute battering but to their immense credit hung in there and when the opportunity presented they dragged themselves into the game and made it a fantastic contest.

Having seen the likes of Wolves, Stoke and Hull at the Lane stick up walls and even Liverpool at Anfield Leeds could easily have elected for defensive tactics but elected to go for it.

I thought yesterday that Leeds, Spurs and both sets of fans were an absolute credit to a competition which has been devalued all to often.

Yeah, I'd agree with that. Their team bus stayed in the car park: especially refreshing for a League One side. (Did think they were dirty as hell though!)

 

[Marty]

I'd agree with all of that. They looked far too good for League 1, I'd say that their squad would be in the top end of the Championship. Maybe even better than Pompey and Hull?

Well done to Leeds for having a go, agreed.

However, I thoguht our fans were dreadful and made no noise until the 75th minute.

Yes, agreed. The Leeds players and manager were a credit to their club, and certainly looked way above their current League 1 status.

I'm not a ST holder but is always the case for cup games when WHL gets more than the usual allocation of visitors and our own support is diluted with occasional support sprinkled across the hard core areas.

That said, I was in the Shelf last night and sat two seats along from the biggest ST bore I've ever heard at WHL - absolutely nothing Spurs did sat right with him and we got a running commentary of our woes for ninenty minutes. I really don't understand people like him, even though he has a right to moan.

 

[speccy_spur]

Hmm, yes, let me quietly congratulate Leeds on raising their game here, so that I can protest to my pal from Leeds at work tomorrow that "we woz robbed"...

big up leeds, they came and fought and really wanted it more than us for big parts of the game.

they thoroughly deserved the draw for sheer passion and commitment alone, lets hope we can show our premiership class at elland road.

It was a good game, I enjoyed it, was the only spurs fan in a pub in Headingley which was fun. At the end of the game I had a tap on the shoulder and turned round to have a kid no older than 10 shout 2-2 at me and run off laughing. My friend told me he'd been stood there for ages but was too scared to say it so his mum said she'd tap my shoulder and him say it. I liked it, made me laugh. Two minutes later I had the bouncer come over and laugh at me even harder.

All good stuff, fingers crossed to me getting getting a ticket for the match at Elland Road!

Bar the Leeds fans singing 'Spurs are on their way to Belson' outside the ground before KO...
