I'll definitely be cheering on Leeds tonight.


I think Spurs missed a trick by not playing Defoe from the start instead of Crouch. Vidic and Ferdinand pretty much snuffed him out of the game. They seem to have a lot more difficulty with the smaller type of player. When you have an old fashioned target man like Crouch it's sometimes too tempting to go for the easier option and playing a long ball up to him. I think we played into United's hands by doing that a little too often and made it easier for the United back four to deal with his aerial threat. It's not as if we've been playing like that this season either. Crouch has mostly been on the bench. I would also liked to have seen Jermaine Jenas playing instead of Wilson Palacios but I guess we needed him to win the ball in midfield.

You're not the only one Jah.


I think at Elland Road we stand a real chance. The crowd will be close to capacity and very intimidating.


The only downside is we look likely to miss Luciano 'The new Messi' Becchio, our leading scorer this season, which is a big loss. But I'd rather have him fit for the rest of the season and I can post in here more often when we go up.


Arsenal will need to show more bite than they did in the first game or against Ipswich.

Yeah, I thought the Crouch thing was a bit odd. I'm a bit of a fan of Pav as well, I would have liked to have seen him coming on. You're right about the smaller (nippier) player. Those are the types that find Ferd and Vidic out I think. Not that he's small but look how Torres tormented Vidic, he can be turned a little too easily sometimes.

as champions you mean?

I'm not sure they have what it take to win the league MM. I think the squad isn't quite there yet. I wouldn't be suprised to see them come top four next season with a couple of good signings. The atmosphere on sunday was amazing and there's a real belief that the club hasn't had for a long while as far as I can see.
It was slightly tongue in cheek SP as you seemed to be assuming they would not be champions and could improve further next year. Which is probably fair, but take nothing in life for granted. You don't often get a shock winner of the Premiership, but who would be brave enough to write them off.

Can I ask Sandperson and Jah Lush to support the Arsenals opposition for the rest of the season as they seem to have given Leeds the kiss of death last night.


Anyway, we were the better side and deservedly won the game. Le Boss team selection against Huddersfield interesting.

A good performance from the men in white last night but over 180 mins the quality and class of the Arsenal team reaped dividends. They were simply too good for too long to be contained.


Nasri is a defenders worst nightmare.

Arshavin is Wenger's worst nightmare. Shocking.

Leeds missed Becchio badly.

We might just about survive if we went up this season. Maybe.

    • Why don’t you speak to head of English at private schools? Might be able to recommend a senior student.. pity now summer hols.   Was how my friend found a tutor for both their kids - maths and science and English.. They also have some mag covering schools as well
    • What is the reason for the change in name? Just curious.
    • Why change it?  You’ve got a fantastic historic, memorable name and you want to change it for something innocuous,  meaningless and empty
    • From the school newsletter:   A New Name for Dog Kennel Hill As you know we have been discussing and consulting with stakeholders about a  name change at DKH for a while. Following engagement with staff, pupils and  families, we gathered all views on a name change for the school and after  careful consideration of the feedback, the Local Committee and the Trust have  agreed with changing the school name to Grove Primary School from  September 2025.  Over the next few months we will begin a gradual process of changing our  name on signage, our website and emails etc. We will keep you updated.  We will be looking at designing a new logo to match the new school name and  will be working closely with a graphic designer to get creative. The school  council will be actively involved in this process. We will share the results with  you as soon as a design has been agreed and confirmed. We will be creating a  new school jumper to replace the old one, once the logo has been finalised. We  will phase this in over time.  We know that this is a welcoming change for some and that there are  parents and children who will be sad about the change. However, as a school  we think it will be a positive change for our school community and we will  work together to ensure that the ethos and culture of DKH will remain!
