Leeds Utd v Cardiff City
Saturday 14th December 2019 15.00 | Elland Road


Cardiff City are the visitors to Elland Road on Saturday as the Whites aim to recreate history last produced 87 years ago during the 1931/32 season when they last won eight games on the bounce in the league.

This feat was matched in 1999 during David O'Leary's reign, albeit accumulated in league and Cup competitions.

Liam Cooper will undergo a fitness test on Friday having missed out against Hull and Huddersfield with a calf strain he sustained a week ago in training. Berardi once again stands by to accompany White at centre back.

Bielsa will be under pressure to include Alioski in the starting line up. The Macedonian came off the bench to put the game against Hull beyond doubt on Tuesday evening. He also scored last weekend against Huddersfield.

The Bluebirds currently occupy 8th place in the Championship, with a game in hand which would put them firmly in the play off mix.

Since taking over the reigns at the Cardiff City Stadium mid November, Neil Harris's team have gone on an unbeaten run of four games, including winning their last three in a row.

Ex White academy player Danny Ward may face his former club on Saturday. The Bradford born hit man has scored 5 goals in 400 minutes of football this season - better then a goal a game!

 

They regularly seem to be our bogey team.

 

Yes they are and Harris is now their manager and having a second attempt at beating us this year already!! , he will fail again, 2-0 to Leeds

 

Ay oop lads.

Easy game for you this weekend.

 

Is that Jonathan Ashworth 'reverse psychology'? (Sorry, I mean 'banter' )

 

There should have been a question mark at the end of the second line.

It was actually a question not a statement.

 

With the exception of Boro, we don't do 'easy' games

 

There should have been a comma after "question" on the second line.

 

Thank you.

 

Ey up Sparkles lad

 

Tributes to the great Bob Willis........R.I.P

Bob Willis's memorable 8 for 43 against Eccers and Brissy's mob.

Darren Goughs tribute to Bob Willis.

 

Never an easy game against your lot of cheating, diving foul mouthed, southern welsh inbreds!!

Oops, awfully sorry old bean, that's the other lot, you know, the ones with a complex. How you doing Sparkey?

 

I watched that in my Uncles in Newcastle drinking newkie broon as a teen...

 

Woke up early needing a coffee and it is teeming it down once again. Just hope it eases off for those attending. Our home record against cardiff is terrible won just once in 2015. About 11 games its about time we ran them off the park. Looks like junior toilet is out leaving them without pace.
Will we see some earlier subs due to what will be tiring conditions.
These next six games or so are the big test s the opposition are higher placed.

 

Morning all, another cold wet and windy day here in west Yorks. The weather should suit football rather than hoofball therefore going 2-0 Leeds (Bamford and klich)
On another note I've got 2 tickets for the arsenal game but have been informed by my jailer that I'm not going (lads first day back at school and mock exams for his A levels) so if any of you guys on here can make use of them let me know and I'll post them to you. I don't want anything for the tickets all I ask is whoever takes them just makes a small donation to a hospice near where they live.
Anyway hope we end our Cardiff hoodoo today and happy Christmas to all.

Forgot to say tickets are 1 adult and 1 17/18 year old in the lower stand enjoy

 

Hello Dingo - I'm doing OK, just stayed away from your board for a while out of respect.

That was respect both for your club's table position, but also for Boris until after he tanned your commie arses.

 

Chesh was looking for tickets I think

 

Please, please stay on theme Sir, you should know better being a mod and all, can you see me doffing my cap? Anyway Prutton has got it right in my opinion

 

I'm surprised you can see our league position from where you are

 

I could go as his dad
