I wonder what kind of reception he will get tomorrow from the newcastle fans after that awful tackle on Daizas @ Elland road. I really hope some1 crucnches the dirty git.

It would be nice Jim, but I don't actually think we have any players of that ilk. Even if we had, it seems a sure recipe for getting someone sent off and handing them the initiative - which is precisely what they will inevitably seek.

I'm not really sure I would play Dabz because of this, but I suspect BR would have difficulty keeping him off the pitch.

Report on Tribalfootball.com:

Leeds United star Mark Viduka isn't worried about Newcastle's boo- boys as he goes into tomorrow's big game at St James' Park.

Viduka is an obvious target for the Newcastle faithful after his controversial clash with defender Nikos Dabizas last month at Elland Road. The big Aussie said: "If I get booed and jeered by the Newcastle fans it won't bother me. I'm used to it, and anyway, after going to Cardiff last Sunday I don't think anything is going to surprise me.

"If there is booing then it will spur me on. It pumps you up and when that's the case I am dangerous. Let me put it this way, I wouldn't want to be in my way."

Prat!

Verucca isn't going to get much grief. Well, not as much as Bowyer and Woodgate. Will we have a new song for Woody or just a variation on "Hey, xxxxx xxxxx, I wanna etc........" I'd like to hear a "Send 'em down, send 'em down, send 'em down" or "Send 'im down wi-ith Bowyer". But then again, I'm slightly worse for wear :-( Bliddy Plough.

With the possible exception of Ginola how many players can you name that get unsettled by booing or songs ? As opposed to how many get fired up and play a blinder ? I'd deafen him with silence myself. Shouldn't be too hard at SJP these days

;O)))
