Just got back from the game, absolute garbage! If Gibson is premier league standard I'm a prop forward (10st wet through). Don't get me wrong Leeds deserved it, as for the injury time I can only assume it was for the obscene time wasting from their keeper.

The 2 penalty calls, were they? From what I saw Welbecks looked possible Owens doubtful.

Put that prawn sandwich down, Gibson is a good player and is a useful player - Fletcher like.

It's Berbatov who is abysmal, I've said it from day one when he signed for United, has an appauling work rate.

Naylor and Kisnorbo for Leeds were trojans, top marks for their efforts! Leeds have a far better defence than most bottom half Premiership teams.

Looked to me like Welbeck was on his way to ground well before any contact.

Indeed.

I always quite liked Michalik in his Bolton days (probably wouldn't be out of place there now) and he is only a bench player currently at Leeds. As you say a very good defensive unit.

I must have missed the Welbeack appeal, but any contact with Owen was outside the box and he fell in the area.

Thought it was a Gerrard type "dive" for me. Little chance of him getting the ball, minimal contact between him and the defender so he went to ground appealing for the pen.

The commentary team questioned why he'd go to ground in that position. Idiots.

Gibson will never be anywhere near as good as Fletcher. He is 22 and looks no where near good enough. No pace, doesn't seem to want to run with the ball hasn't got a good range of passing and offers very little defensively.

As for Berbatov, to call him abysmal is ignorant. I think his problem is 1, not quite being the player United fans thought they were getting, ie an out and out front man who'd allow Rooney to play his natural game and 2, he doesn't seem suited to our style of play. He always wants an extra touch on the ball which tends to then slow us down. He wasn't the problem today though the midfield was.

Ferguson livid at the lack of injury time, while looking even more like he had consumed a mixture of whisky, meths and boot polish.

He's not a bad player but not worthy of a starting position at Leeds, He's surprisingly a liability in the air for a guy of 6ft 4...

Great result for Leeds.

Owen missed more chances at Toon than he scored, missed some sitters, and he continues to do so at United.

No where near the player he was, and playing bit parts in FA Cup games and other games which are 'easier', aren't good for him.

Welbeck looked to lose balance just before the leeds player came across him but Owens was definatly a foul but was right on the edge of the area.

It wasn't really discussed during the game but in the build up to the Leeds goal it looked as though Welbeck was pulled back by the defender as he went for the ball although i'd like to see it again.



Some of the passing today was atrocious and i'd agree about Gibson apart from the odd spectacular shot offers very little and whoever compaired him to Fletcher wants there head seeing too. Tommy Ketchup looked poor again with no comunication between him and the back four, then we get onto Neville the guy hasn't played in weeks but didn't look liked he'd played football in his life he was GARBAGE i'd have offerd more pace and better passing down the right hand side.
Fergies substitutions were poor aswell Owen should have replaced Berbov, Carrick for Gibson and Valencia for Welbeck.

Well, he had the chance to come to us, and play every week, or at least until his wet tissue hamstring went snap.

Having said that, the way things are at the mo, we'd be trying to sell him to........Manchester United. Probably.

Sums it up!
Leeds fans will be wet for weeks, can't blame them though. Wanted them to win today, doesn't sound as ridiculous now there below us in the pyramid.

It's barmy Hull aren't pulling out all the stops to stay in this division, because games with Leeds in the not too distant future will be very enjoyable 'in the top flight' mind.

Every chance of meeting next season in the Championship - in fact looking increasingly an odds-on chance.

Wow, just wow.

I don't think it's a case of not pulling out the stops, we are in the midst of a tricky run of fixtures, and as much as it pains me to admit, we are a one-man team, and we are desperate to have him back in time for a run of fixtures that we can pick up some points in.

Anyway, according to his Twitter page, we are making a move for...........Freddy Adu! Feel the underwhelment!

Indeed, Chelsea and Man City on their way to Humberside and visits to Spurs and Man U. Makes the home game against Wolves a must win.

Not a great deal easier for us with Sunderland Away in between two fixtures with Arsenal and then Liverpool away at the end of the month. Home to Burnley needs to be a banker - should be even more interesting if Coyle makes the switch.

Over-hyped but hopefully for you guys not over here!

Hmmm, it's the kind of signing a mid tabled premiership club with little risk of relegation (although that's hard to say this year) should be making.

One hell of a risk, for 1.5mill (it's good money considering Hull's situation).
Sounds ridiculous but 1.5mill spent on Kris Boyd would be far more worth in my opinion. I believe an offer of that region 'would' be accepted by Rangers.

Routine victory for Leeds today. Tidy finish from Beckford, thought United's lack of composure in the final third cost them, they're usually clinical but they seemed far too rushed today.

Birmingham at home (assuming they get through). I'll take that, by far and away the better side in the league game a couple weeks ago.

Home to the winner of Sheff U and QPR. Could be worse.

Draw:
Tottenham v Leeds United

Tranmere/Wolves v Crystal Palace

Aston Villa v Brighton

Preston v Chelsea

Portsmouth/Coventry v Sunderland

Bolton v Sheffield United/QPR

Accrington/Gillingham v Fulham

Everton v Nottingham Forest/Birmingham

West Brom v Plymouth/Newcastle

Shorpe United v Manchester City

Notts County/Forest Green v Wigan Athletic

Stoke City v Arsenal

Bristol City/Cardiff City v Leicester City

Millwall/Derby v Brentford/Doncaster

Reading/Liverpool v Burnley

Southampton v Ipswich

Not enough Fergie time
