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.

    • But I don't think that was what you meant, was it? But he can hardly be held responsible for what somebody else did! Just discovered I forgot to post the above  last night, and now it's overtaken by long posts.  I don't have sufficient knowledge  to counter some of what has been said above, some of which appears to be opinion rather than facts, so it would be pointless for me to say anything else.
    • I am sure our lovely Evri delivery team, who do a firkin hard job, take the time between drops to read the East Dulwich Forum 🤫
    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.
