Leeds United Football Club is a professional association football club in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. The club was formed in 1919 following the disbanding of Leeds City F.C. by the Football League and took over their Elland Road stadium. They play in the Championship, the second tier of the English football league system. Leeds United are the incumbent holders of the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup.

Leeds United have won three First Division league titles, one FA Cup and one League Cup. The club has also won two Inter-Cities Fairs Cups. The majority of the honours were won under the management of Don Revie in the 1960s and 1970s. Leeds lost the 1975 European Cup Final against Bayern Munich and reached the semi finals of the tournament's successor Champions League in 2001.

2-0 with lambert getting both !

' LEEDS UNITED FANS THIS SATURDAY '

Leeds have been selling their allocation well for this Saturdays game at the Cardiff City Stadium.

Leeds United have been allocated 2,100 tickets.
Their away travel is sold out on their supporters coaches.
£54 travel & ticket to Cardiff.

To buy a match ticket to Cardiff they have to have a membership.

Leeds are expected to bring a loyal following of 1,800-2,000 fans.

Long journey,Live on Sky,12.30pm kick off and they have struggled for years and at this moment are near the bottom of the Championship.

I have never liked Leeds United or their fans, but I have to admit they are one of the most loyalist fans in the Country,no matter how bad they do on and off the pitch they turn up in big numbers and sing/shout their team on.

Every time I go there with Cardiff, even when they had not won for months at home, they were none stop singing.

So I can't wait for this Saturday's game and for our fans to show how proud we are and to drown the noise from the Leeds fans,plus take the mick out of ex Jack Gary Monk,now manager of Leeds United.

Cardiff have 11,500 season ticket holders, its only £20 admission Adults and £5 for under 16's.
Hopefully We get a home crowd of 18,000-20,000 (I was hoping for 20,000 plus)

Can Cardiff City make it Gary Monks last match as Leeds United's manager?

Ian Holloway has predicted that Leeds will score against Championship rivals Cardiff on Saturday, but a 1-1 draw is the most likely outcome.

The former Blackpool manager claims that the Yorkshire giants have improved recently but will face an uphill task against Paul Trollope’s Cardiff side who currently sit in 21st position with the Bluebirds home form being a decisive factor in Holloway’s prediction.

1-1. Scrappy boring game. Could this already be classed as a 6 pointer? A relegation battle?

No

A couple of updates on Joe Bennett and Stuart O’Keefe, who have been missing through injury in the past couple of weeks...

There’s a few bumps and bruises but nothing major on the rest of the squad,

Aston Villa signing Joe Bennett who was injured when City signed him, will still be missing, his rehabilitation on calf injury is progressing well and we’re hoping to have him in the training group next week.

Trollope says -:Stuart O’Keefe is back training with the group and it’s just getting him back at the right time.

Who will be in the team?

Quite how Paul Trollope's side will line up is anybody's guess.

The biggest talking point is once again the make up of the Bluebirds defence, with Trollope favouring five at the back in recent matches.

After three successive defeats it wouldn't be a surprise to see Trollope change things at the back.

Goalkeeper Ben Wilson is also under pressure after two less than convincing performances since replacing David Marshall . Ben Amos may be in line to make his Bluebirds debut against Leeds.


Wilson is under pressure in the Cardiff goal
Peter Whittingham could also return to the starting XI after beginning the last two matches on the bench.

It will be draw and a boring game.

0-2 easy money(got the last 4 home games right) 3 correct scores.

Thats the spirit! We need everyone to be like this to move things forward!

CITY TEAM : Amos, Peltier, Morrison, Connolly, Richards, Whittingtam, Ralls, Gunnarsson, Pilkington, Noone and Lambert.

Subs : Wilson, Manga, John, Huws, Immers, Harris and Gounongbe.

Not bad. Expecting good things today.

CITY TEAM : Amos, Peltier, Morrison, Connolly, Richards, Whittingtam, Ralls, Gunnarsson, Pilkington, Noone and Lambert.

Subs : Wilson, Manga, John, Huws, Immers, Harris and Gounongbe.

What has happened to Lex Immers?? this has got Andy Campbell written all over it.. loll superstar on loan super shite when signed

on a brighter note 3-1 city today

Looks like 4-3-3 to me that's promising

So Trollope has already changed the so called Cardiff to now 3-4-3

Started well but Leeds coming into it. Launching the Ball up to Lambert isn't the Answer

We can win this Leeds are shocking

Bullshit penalty (at least according to commentary...)

f*cking dogshite no shots on goal for 60 mins, shambles of a team

Bullshit penalty (at least according to commentary...)

connolly had him in neck lock!

correct decision

60 minutes. 9 corners + more possession + much more pressure + twice hit the woodwork - but no f*cking penetration. Dodgy penalty - hard done by.

Dirty Weeds doing it all first half. Even the commentary were mentioning it. We do it on their first corner and we're punished. Ffs. By far the better team.
