Well here we are (again) and what odds would a man have got especially after Cooper was given a straight red for winning a tackle and leeds still had to play an entire second half against City last Saturday.
NOT ME I can honestly say that.
Next up Super Leeds play current PL Champions Liverpool at Elland Road on 19th April with KO being 8pm (on sky sports)
Leeds are unbeaten since early March (2 nil loss to West Ham) and despite having played Chelsea, Fulham, Sheff Utd & Man City we have secured 10 points out of a possible 12. Hoodoo of London was laid to rest, winning a local derby was secured and beating the champions elect with 10 men its like its all a dream and one that i dont want to wake up from but the bin-dippers whom themselves since that 1st weekend in March are also unbeaten in the PL winning there last 3 games. So yet another big ask of our players to try and get a point out of this one never mind all 3.
This will be the 119th game between these two Clubs and unfortunately we all know how these stats will look
Leeds won 28
Draws 30
Liverpool won 60
In the Premier League era
Played 25 times
Leeds won 6
Scoring 26 goals
Conceding 52 goals
Clean Sheets 4
Liverpool won 15
Scoring 52 goals
Conceding 26 goals
Clean Sheets 10
There have been 4 draws
Historically we have always seen goals in this fixture and looking back on the record books only one of these 25 premier league games has produced a 0-0 scoreline and that was back on the 12th April 1999 when 39,372 people were inside ER, and if im honest im not expecting a nil nil next Monday either.
In the Premier League
The last time Liverpool beat Leeds was the 4-3 game last September
Last time Liverpool beat Leeds in ER was October 2002
The last time Leeds beat Liverpool was a 2-1 victory in April 2001 (Ferdinand and Lee Bowyer)
Last time Leeds beat Liverpool in ER was that famous day in November 2000 the 4-3 win the day when Viduka scored all four
So what can we expect from next Monday nights game??? The season so far Leeds are 10th in the Table Liverpool are 6th, Leeds have won 14 Liverpool won 15, Leeds have drawn 3 Liverpool 7, Leeds have lost 14 Liverpool just 9. Leeds average goals scored per match stands at 1.58 compared to Liverpools 1.71. Leeds average goals conceded per match is also 1.58 to liverpool's 1.19. Both teams have kept 9 clean sheets and on average leeds create 1.55 chances per match where as Liverpool create 2. Leeds biggest win so far this season is 5-0 (WBA) Liverpool's biggest win was the 7 nil drubbing of Palace. and leeds worst defeat was that 6-2 drubbing versus the the filth but liverpool suffered a bigger defeat against vilescum when they lost 7-2

Team News too early at this stage liverpool must play Real Madrid on Wednesday night so that could determine a few things. Personally i cant see liverpool winning the CL this season think both City & Chelsea would beat them never mind any of the other teams from Europe so the reds need to focus on PL as the source of qualification for next year. Liverpool have 7 games in the PL left apart from Leeds & ManU the other 5 are definitely winnable (barcodes, saints, WBA, Burnley & Palace) but then again everyone would have thought liverpool would have beaten Fulham too and we all saw what happened that day. 15 points out of 21 should see Liverpool in the top 4 i cant see Chelsea winning 5 from there last 7 (4xlondon derbies, city, vila & leicester), West Ham have a great chance but will nerves get to them they have very winnable games for a team looking to be top 4 (newcastle, Burnley, BHA, Saints, WBA) so only thing to stop them i think will be themselves and While Leicester City next 4 games are also winnable there final 3 are real cup finals (manu, chelsea & spurs).
For us we should be taking things one step at a time, one game at a time. The players that played ever so well against City on Saturday (if available) should be handed the Jersey (except for Costa) not that he let us down just cause Harrison would have been playing only for the "loan player" rule but everyone else as a reward for all their heroic efforts against effectively 12 men (mariner you are the definition of a bellend) should hold their place .
I like to think we will try to take them on knowing that our CB's will contain their undoubted attacking strengths and TAA will fit into Harrison's pocket.
Pie Chart Time
Cheerio lads onwards and upwards

In all the euphoria and controversy of last night's game,I didn't realise until now that the point we got last night officially means we cannot be relegated.... as West Brom can only reach 45 points from their remaining games and we have 46 👍👍
Well done Leeds 👏
A well earned draw IMO,the weight of expectation was on Liverpool to win this game not us.... And yes they dominated the first half,but they didn't have that killer touch in front of goal.... we wore them down in the 2nd half,they just just couldn't handle our pace and energy levels in the end.... We could have nicked it 2-1 just like the City game,but we just didn't create enough chances for Bamford and our front 3 weren't really on their game if truth be told.... They should've had it wrapped up in the 1st half but didn't take their chances.... and allowed us back into the game when their energy levels dropped in the 2nd half... I thought Lioriente had another great game for us and Dallas worked hard as usual... I think it's fair to say that both defences were pretty solid on the night and 1-1 was a fair result in the end 👍
Well done Bull 👍
Well the age old saying "a game of two halves" this certainly was it.
We never got going in the 1st and the second we were far superior to liverpool it really shows how far this team has progressed from mid-table championship standard.
A draw was a fair result although we had a couple of chances to score a second or even a third in that second half. Liverpool sat that fraction deeper and those couple of paces allowed us that little bit more time on the ball and to get onto the front foot. They will be disappointed in dropping 2 points at the end but Kloop tbf to him did say a draw was the fair result.
Didnt like the way he came out with "leeds fans booing us and shouting at us" leeds fans didnt smash the window in yer team bus unlike what there fans done to Real Madrid's bus last week, isnt it easy how people forget things!!!!!!
But we march on together lads
on to the filth
Different team second half. Fully deserved the point and on balance of play could have been 3.
Bring on scum....MOT with Bull
First half we rode our luck and were second best. Couldn't deal with the high press from Pool. PB had a good chance, but he's first touch was too heavy and with it the chance had gone. Couple of players not involved at all.
Pool getting behind us on several occasions, as with their goal.
Second half, we vastly improved, Pool couldn't keep up their pressing and we started to move the ball quicker and more accurate.
Chances came (some sitters) and went, couldn't believe we scored from a corner, great delivery & good finish. Well deserved point.
Awful first half, different side in the second half.
The whole team in the first half was not playing like a team. We weren’t tracking back the Liverpool fullbacks, where a lot of their threat comes from. Paddy was isolated with Costa and Roberts back to their lightweight selves.
We shifted up a gear or two after half time, and replacing Costa with Poveda changed things massively on that flank. The Liverpool full back was pushed back into his own third and their back four was suddenly under pressure.
Paddy was unlucky and their keeper had to make a couple of important saves. Having said that Roberts should have scored with his chance.
Would have liked to have seen Geldhard instead of Pablo as he is the future.
Well done Bull, and now the big one at the weekend. Immortality beckons!
No Duke, it has to be a win for Bull to be a legend! It is Leeds v Greeds!
Only needs a draw and then he’ll be 90% legend, after that a EL spot
Congrats Bull
A win v ManPoo and you may be considered alongside the Iceman as a legend!
Poveda is under pressure every time he comes on because he knows he has to perform.... I'd love him to have a few consecutive starts but he will not get them ahead of Raphinha and Harrison. Surely he'd offer more than Roberts!?
If we can avoid defeat v Mancscum that'll be a quality 3 results from our hardest run of the season....
Well done Bull.... 👍👏
Good second quarter we deserved it
Great second half, and we could and maybe should have won it. Llorente and Struijk very strong; our full-backs struggled. Oh, and I think Poveda made a very good impression. MOT
Up your super league Liverpool.
Come on Leeds ffs
Our one saving grace is that for all their domination,Liverpool have only one goal to show for it... Now it will be interesting to see how Bielsa changes things up and whether our energy levels can overwhelm Liverpool in the closing stages.... I'm hopeful that we can take advantage of the fact they have not really looked like scoring apart from the odd moment we have switched off in defence.... 👍
Tepid performance so far. Def missing Raf and Paddy is back to his old tricks poor poor first touch.
Still it's as they say a game of 2 halves and hopefully the magician has the answer.
Frankly; they’ve been all over us, as we keep losing the ball when building up from our back four and midfield. Hopefully, the Magician can change this for the second half. MOT
Danny Mills is a complete ass. He says nothing that's worth listening to.
Am loving the messages on our t-shirts... 😁😁👍👍
Champions League; 'Earn it' 😊
In all of this, we should spare a thought for the players and coaching staff. They probably had no input to the decision making, but are contractually bound by the outcome. Let's not be too critical of them.
I liked the Gary Neville call: It's Leeds v Greeds 😆
Apparently alot of Liverpool fans are hoping for a Leeds win tonight,out of disgust for their club's involvement in the ESL..... ALAW 👍
Close but no cigar....Leeds born JM.
JM (not Leeds born) is now a busted flush of a manager in PREM.
Jose to leeds????
no thanks
Big win coming up for us, 3-1. Think the bin dippers will be shellshocked. Most players have such big egos and more money in the bank than they know what to do with, now that the club has in effect $hat on their international careers it will seem like a pointless existance to many so their heads will be well and truly gone. Oh, and I look forward to one JM joining us at the end of the season.
What are the chances of the officials being in our corner tonight? will we be given the 50/50 calls as some sort of backlash by the refs?
It would be some crack if Dirty Leeds were to seen as the good guys over the money grabbing liverpuddlion ;)
With the European Super League news breaking yesterday evening, and now Jose departure from Spuds will Leeds get any mention at all on the MNF show????
Good luck mate
Leeds will do it again 😎
2-1 Leeds win
Fook me Bull you got a new typewriter or something
Leeds 2 Bin dippers 3
Cannot wait for game to start!
Read somewhere there during lunch that if Foreshaw plays well tonight in the U23's game at villa (and barring any effects) he could be in the squad on Monday night versus loserpool...
Big difference between an u23 group 2 league game and a PL game against the champions but hopefully it wont be long before he is pushing for a start with the first team. Marcelo used to select him alot when injury free and has openly admitted in saying that he rates him, if AF can get back to full fitness from the hip problems he might just save Radz a few bob in the Summer.
While not as good as Kalvin, Adam would probably be best suited to "fill into his role" if KP is out for any period of time next year.
Pool losing last night is going to make this game alot more difficult to get anything from although if im honest i thought Mane & Salah were well below what i expected of them in a QF of the champions league tie. They looked lost and nothing seemed to be going right for them hopefully that continues for another 72-80 Hours ;)
Great MDT Bull 💯
Am still trying to come down from my high after game on Saturday! COME ON LEEDS! MOT!!
well i thought last weeks epic was a tough read but hay ho
1-1
Cracking mdt bull lad.
I'm glad I've retired from being a weatherman, technology moves on and well frankly I couldn't be bothered learning new stuff. To know exactly how dark it will be a the start and a full time is amazing. Well done bull.
In my day I got away with saying it might rain so you may get wet and people were over the moon with this info. My time has been, the Bull is the man now for any weather enquiries you have.
1-1
Great to see that you've had an early start to the weekend Bull.... 🍻👍⚽🥂
Awesome stuff mate, and another free swing. Fabulous to be the underdog once more, a bit different to last season, that’s for sure.
Sorry lads with all my notes / stats / paperwork i forgot to give my score predication. Genuinely thinking of a score draw 2-2 more than likely
But it could be 5-5
The game to be forever remembered as the Monday Night Miracle Match.
After leeds go 3 nil down inside 22 mins we fight back to 3-2 at HT
Marcelo goes mental in the dressing room and inside 4 mins we find ourselves 4-2 down after a slip by llorente on the famous ER pitch that we all adore.
we pull one back and just as you think the game will drift to its natural ending with last 10 mins to go for it to be 4-4
What will only be described as yet another VAR catastrophic decision Pool are awarded the softest of penalities that will ever likely to be given in the 89 min bang Salah steps up to slot home his hattrick.
5 fcking 4 to the bin dippers
Can you believe this SH*T€???
Coffee tables everywhere, dogs / cats kick up the hole, beer split, glasses broken bedlam in every LUFC sitting room all over the world. The 4th Official only shows 3 mins added time despite 6 subs being made both physios on the pitch giving treatment to players you tear whatever hair you have left in your head out thinking 3 mins ffs there has to be at least 6 ya bent c*nt of a ref.
As the little clock, now red, on the tv screen ticks away you think how do you face that smug loserpool fan that will be waiting for in the office first thing in the morning thinking the little pr*ck only makes it in early when his team wins the day/evening before Roberts lets fly from 18 yards and boooooooom like an arrow straight as a dye no keeper is touching that. 5-5 you go mental the blood pressure has hit 210 over 165 the chest is tightening by nothing will hold you down
Ecstasy once again tears stream down your face you cant wait to see Jamie Carragher's face you pick up the dog / kids kiss them all (kick the cat again cause you hate the thing) you were never as happy, not even the night you got your first ride can beat this feeling.
You are bound to LUFC for evermore and you think back to games at roots hall, @ Walsall, @ Carlisle and think they were the best of days too, we all love leeds and after you wait what seems like an eternity Sky come back from the add break Thierry Henry is there consoling poor old Jamie
Quality MDT Bull and good luck again....
I really think after showing Citeh a different side of our game we can take all 3pts....we don't know which Liverpool side will turn up and even if their inconsistent forwards are on form, I think Llorente can stop them all by himself.
I'm going for a positive 3-2 win with a Hattrick Bamford hat trick....
I don't think Coops will be playing though BB and I wouldn't be surprised if the cnuts from the FA give him a 3 match ban for violent conduct.... fkn ridiculous when it wasn't even a FOUL!!
I'd play Koch next to Llorente. I don't think a German international would come here simply to be back up.... in actual fact I'd play 3 at the back with Strujik and drop Roberts and push our FBs on to support Raphinha and Harrison....
Great MDT Bull
Good Luck
If I was MB I would go for:-
Meslier
Ayling Llorente Cooper Davis
Phillips
Dallas
Rafa Tyler Harrison
Bamford
Subs: Kiko, Berardi, Alioski, Koch, Poveda, Rodrigo, Pablo, Costa, Gledhart
Getting anything out of this game and the next one increases your chance of joining the Iceman as a Legend!
Monsieur, with these MTD's you are really spoiling us!
You've had a fabulous run so far Bull - keep it up! I think this one is a bridge too far so regrettably I have to predict a 1-3 reverse, but I expect us to go down fighting again.
