Hi Folks

Leeds face their third game in less than a week as they welcome Hull City to Elland Road on Saturday afternoon.

Hull are one of the current in form teams having collected 21 points from a possible 30 beating Preston, Swansea, Brentford, QPR and West Brom during their resurgence.

Although Nigel Atkins men sit in 15th place, they are only 8 points away from the play off's.

Having won seven on the trot, Leeds will be keen to beat their all time winning league record which is 9, set in 1931-32. (Leeds all time winning run in all comps is 10, set in the 99-00 season.)

Leeds are still without Bamford, Izzy Brown, Berardi, Dallas and Cooper.

 

Another tight game expected,Hull in good form, an early goal or 2 would be nice. Going for a 3-1.

 

A question. Who is this mysterious Izzy Brown everyone seems to be raving about. Hope its not the Chelsea crock

 

Its 3-0 from me again and cant stop doing this same prediction because we have won the last 7 games since I started.

If Bowen is signing he wont be playing

 

I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't play for Leeds Eire, I maybe wrong !

 

Hull are without Jackson Irvine, who scored both goals in the win at Preston, as he is on international duty with Australia.

 

Good Christmas all?

 

Whispers at our end that Everton are in for him.

 

So far it's been great and I'm expecting the rest of the year to be excellent too, how about you?

 

Weren't they after him before this season started?

 

We'll stay up, which is more than I expected. Adkins is doing a wonderful job and I got some interesting Christmas presents.

 

Apparently teams wanted to see how he started this season as he only had one good season under him. It’s more of the same and there’s whispers of a 8m offer incoming.

 

Oh you're talking football, I was meaning having really good food, company, a couple of drinks and a good time.

Adkins isn't going to set the world alight but hopefully will keep you up, you've still got to get rid of your owners though to make any progress, any luck getting new ones?

 

Either way I think it would be best if he was rested until his future is settled and I'm glad to see that Irvine has made the Aussie squad for the Asian cup

Oh and that goes for Elphick too, should be rested proir to his move back to Villa, just in case

 

Hope you had a good one pal

 

8m could really strengthen your team.

 

..... or be trousered by the owner!

Which is most likely?

(We have some experience of this, don't we - hence the suspicious minds).

 

The latter...

 

Always thought he was a good manager, not just tactically, he comes over as a decent bloke too.
