At least were top of our league AND in the FA cup after dumping on the "united" ITV commentary was disgraceful yesterday. Media is so far up the rectums of the scum machine it's just wrong! Still the REAL UNITED won on the day! MOT!! Quite - the picture on ITV through $ky (103) was appalling - many people have commented on how bad it was.More here http://everythingleeds.myfastforum.org/about3811.html I thought it was our telly that was acting up jiggled with the scart connections but to no availWhat a result and what a whinger Ferguson is,didn't see him look at Grayson never mind shake his hand,no post match interview and the later interview was all whinge and excuses.5minute extra time,nearer 3 I would have said and it's still not enough.Face up to it Fergie - we stuffed you ! and if you remember,before the kich off,the commentator remarked taht there were TWO timekeepers.Yes indeed,two.Fergie kicked (during the game)off when he found out there was only 5 mins of extra time.It wasnt the ref,it was two ,yes two,timekeepers who said there was 5 minutes extra time.I wonder what Fergie would have done in the 70's if he was manager of Leeds,you know what i mean,having to play four matches in twelve days,and despite appeals to the FA,no alleviation in the domestic elements of those fixtures to enable Leeds to succeed in European ties.

Si wrote: The second best part of the game (after the result!) was how Leeds played. IMO, they looked like a Premiership team, and won fair and square, unlike many so-called cup giant killers, where, after a lucky early goal, they then never leave their own half. A brilliant performance! Credit should also go to the 9000 or so Leeds supporters who out-chanted the mercenary ManU lot easily! Si you are spot on.At no point did i think"Oh no,they are showing their class here,the gap in divisions is quite apparent"Not once.I have to say that Beckford has got the headlines,and frankly i think that we are now in a league position to offer him an much improved offer,but to me the real heroes were Naylor and Kisnorbo.Ankergren had the best game ive seen him play,a bit of a one off possibly,but Naylor and Kisnorbo were outstanding,especially the latter.I never felt any anguish when they were in and around an attacking player,they were awesome.That enabled the midfield to have confidence,and that is what won the game.That Man U squad,on that day, was worth £60M,ours was £1.3M

Yes I understand, I hadn't realised that but professional soccer was making its presence felt in this are for the first time and Bradford Park Avenue, Huddersfield Town, and Bradford City (the history of Bradford City is I believe called "A Game That Will Pay") also all date their foundation from around the same time. The point I was making was that it was because of this that the NU decided to alter their rules from the original Rugby Union rules to stop the rot.

Actually he has cost himself money because he now won't receive a percentage of the fee and there would have been one without the request because Bates would have forced Grayson to sell to the highest bidder this month anyway. There are plenty of Championship clubs and Premiership strugglers who will bid

LUFC have had no more offers or interest. I really do think he's at his level. Also, I said it on other forums at the start of this season. Both Delph and beckford can go so long as we keep Snoddy!

Agree about the TV picture - I don't watch football on TV often these days but I thought they had a feed from MUTV's web stream or something.The United thing is shameful but it does come from ITV Sport being mostly staffed by Granada people, which was the company that originally set up MUTV. Clive Tyldesley is worse though - he can't comment on a match without getting a reference to some ManU victory in.Still, this game wasn't
