Whites v Bin Dippers
Our next game sees us take on our long term rivals form merseyside.
M. W D L Goals F Goals A
Record at home in the top leauge is better than I thought 47 15 13 19 59 : 64
The first time we played them at home in the top league was the 1924-25 season where we beat them 4-1, although that season we ended up 18th whilst our rivals ended up in 7th.
More recently we drew 1-1 last season where for a long time it looked as though the bin dippers were going to take all the points before a header from Loriente around 945pm tied the game. Two starters and four of the subs from that game are no longer at the club which I guess is a sign of the times. Perhaps Leeds ladies should change their name to the Belle stars.

Team news
Headline---Leeds United could be without starter Raphinha for the club’s upcoming meeting with Liverpool at Elland Road if FIFA decide to go with a reported five-day ban stopping relevant internationals playing domestic football after the international break.
This comes from The Times (via Leeds Live), with the rule proposed by the Brazilian Football Federation likewise potentially affecting the Reds’ three Brazil internationals, Fabinho, Alisson Becker and Bobby Firmino.
Firmino may not play anyway as he picked up an injury at Chelsea last week
Kieta has started a coup in Guinea so won't be playing
Alex harvey is a sensation but has a knock and is unlikely to play at this point
Salah unfortunately will be playing
Takumi Minamino returned from international duty early with an injury and may not play.
James will probably be off the bench, but has promised to score or assist with two
Will Loriente play?
Will we get our first win, probably not.......
I am going with a 1-1 draw
Arrivederci mon amis
It could be snowing come kick off
Quality MDT Batty boy.... 👍👏
I'd love James to start and push Raphinha inside to be our creative spark....
Head says a draw but going with my heart and a Hattrick Bamford goal in a tight 1-0 win.... got to watch it with a Liverpool supporting mate though so it could all kick off!
Cracking MDT Bats!!
Good Luck

Great stuff Batty - I think this is a good a time as any to take this lot on, particularly with the list of injuries and possible suspensions.
James may start as a direct swap for Rapha if the rumours are true about the FIFA intervention?
I'll be boring and sit on the fence 2-2
FYI Caroline Wozniaki - Danish tennis player - you wouldn't kick her out of bed for eating biscuits........
Nice one Batty but with no mention to the possible weather conditions i feel your MDT is doomed to failure, hope im wrong but even if you had slipped in somewhere "the possibility of 6 feet of snow" would have sufficed the weather Gods and marching on to Newcastle friday week you would go.
Unfortunately we havent really settled into any sort of rhythm this season yet but its early days however with the fans back inside ER im hoping to hear the roars over here in the west of ireland. Like last year the first goal when leeds play seems to crucial, if they get it we could struggle to contain them and just watch all the flicks, knockdowns all work for them. But if we score first i can really see the crowd driving the team forward and who knows maybe just maybe our first 3 points of the season could be bagged.
Tough one to call and i certainly wont be putting this game in my football accumulator
Head says them by an odd goal
Heart has us sneaking it 1-0 and wild celebrations not only around Beeston but everywhere a leeds fan resides.
fingers , toes, everything crossed for this one

Nice one mate. I hope your run goes on and on and on….
The new lad to come on and score the winner/equaliser/consolation.
That’s not bad 1-1
