Bud (and others)

Yr mail address at the Gallowgate is u/s so using this whilst watching Random Harvest.

Yes of course I watched it got up nice and early leuyk.

My opinion.

Thought Arse were going to murder us the way they started. Henri despite everything, is so good, fast, dangerous etc. But our defence held up so well. O'Brien has come on leaps and bounds and Hughesie very steadfast.

Saw another thread which suggested we ditch Speed and Lee for Bowyer. That in my eyes would be detrimental. SOrry I know innocent unti proved etc but some of these Leeds guys just look so totally unplesant eg, Bowyer, Woodgate, Smith, Mills to name but a few. Just dont like them and I thought that Gary Speed had a superb game. On his day he has the ability to split defences with his passing. Keep the lad on.

Bellamy again worked his socks off and him and Dyer together are going to frighten some defences. Shearer was GREAT in every way. SHows a lot of pros up IMHO. Solano had some veyr good moments and did Bernard and Robert when he came on. Loved the look on his face when he got the last goal - think it shows he is one of the lads.Lua2 is quite amazing!! He beats man after man then is at a bit of a loss but he is another who has the potential of being a match-winner.

Though also BR was very good as norm after the game never rubbishes the opposition always prasing where prasie due and was restrained in his criticism. Henry just went berserk and I am sorry but Mr Wenger's plea of "hes an emotional player" just wont wash.

I also liked on another thread that very honest assement by a Gooner, It must have been rather galling for them and I though he bit the bullet very well.

Doubtless if we lose at Leeds some fans will be calling for heads etc to roll but I think if we keep this low profile theme of "can'st see us winning" we might surprise a few of those baised London media guys who just cant see beyond bloody Southern teams like Arsenal, Spurs, Man Utd, Chelsea, Man Utd.

There I feel better now.

Off on Sat with wor lass to Bangkok for chrissy but hopefully will find some wayside bar for the Leeds
