I was there in 1973 and thought it was the worst day of my life. Supporting my club since has been magnificent, joyous, frustrating, disappointing, good, carp, great etc.
But we are Leeds MOT

I was there too and it was worse than losing to Bayern.
Totally agree it was the worst day of my life.
Just a little funny but I bought my home from a Sunderland supporter and the burglar alarm was 1973.
We were burgled alright.
Monte played the game of his life and just our luck.

Yep cried my eyes out that day when the FA Cup was massive, people talk about Banks's save from pele but for me Montgomery's was better.

Agree0 Disagree0

Far too young for all these memories, I was there when we got turned over in league cup final by villa and I am there every season when we get beat at the den, and also saw us lose at Er to huddlesfeild a couple of seasons back. not quite as important but still P'''sed me off :)

Agree0 Disagree0

Every defeat pisses me off, millwall play off 2nd leg was very bitter for me.

Agree0 Disagree0

The 1973 final was seriously offensive. The worst bit was every neutral in the country drooling and drivelling over the S word team .

Agree0 Disagree0

Yes millwall 2nd leg defeat in playoffs was killer I had five millwall mates round and my uncle. decorated the living room in leeds kits, had mot playing and then we got knocked out. Got very very drunk that night

Agree0 Disagree0

5 millwall mates? I think that's about same amount they brought to elland road that night.

We can get a draw up there

Agree0 Disagree0

This time, I want to see Norman Hunter take out Richie Pitt before he gets anywhere close to Alan Clarke

Agree0 Disagree0

Sunderland Noooooo! Weeks of build up to torture us again about 1973!! For all of us Leeds fans who can remember that terrible day at Wembley, the worst draw possible!! BBC and ITV are going to love it!

Agree0 Disagree0

We can beat them Imo, they are a poor side.

If they are going to progress then Leeds will have to learn to impose themselves on other teams and to have a plan B.
Whilst everyone wants to watch pretty football it does not always win matches. We need to "get stuck in" and grind out results when necessary. The top Leeds sides of old always had the skills to match anyone but could square up to the most physical of teams when called upon.
I am not calling for a complete abandonment of our passing ethic but sometimes a well placed route one ball works wonders and gets the opposition wondering what's coming next. Defenders hate turning and running down on their own goal, add to the mix the skill and pace of Antenucci and who knows what dividends may be gained over a season

Great post and I have said same many times. Love the passing game and it has a place but we need more steel and ability to be more direct when this is not working. Leeds were very very direct under wilko and were very very tough under revie. As arsenal show all the passing game in the world with lots of ability will only get you so far, at the moment the passing game of arsenal is below the direct game of west ham dispite having bigger budget and so called better players. Sure redders will sort this out still early days for him

Very good posts both of you. We are crying out for more experience and leadership on the pitch especially in midfield.

Agree0 Disagree0

Fact. we can play football. fact. we can't stop other teams playing football, we need a defensive coach a.s.a.p.
