For those that like odds, that's a 1 in 8192 chance.


 Werent Peterborough famous winners over Leeds in some past cup? 


1986 : They beat us 1-0

Mind you, there aren't many lower league teams that haven't beaten us at some stage. Slipping on banana skins in the FA Cup is a speciality of ours.


 True that. 1971 comes to mind.

 And famously the 1973 final! And was it Wigan in a Cup semi one year not too long ago, and Newport County as well! Too many to mention!!

Getting Stoke away 2 years on the trot seems cruel for us seagulls

 Were you a Leeds fan, TA? Or still a Leeds fan? 

my dad had season tickets through the 70s and I used to get to go along every few games if a friend of his dropped out. He also had Liverpool seasons tickets at the same time and Id get those low and then as well. We used to go to York as well, when they reached the second division. happy days - couldnt afford that now!

Colchester is my nearest team and before I got married I had a season ticket. Best couple of seasons were in the early 70's with the cup run, just missing promotion and then winning the Watney Cup away at West Brom.

When I was at Leeds University in the early 70's I went to as many Leeds home games as I could. Still follow the results.

Haven't actually been to any matches for many years.

 Great stuff - the Watney Cup! Fab event. The Johnsons Paint Trophy of its time! It was a summer tournie wasnt it?

I did same as you at Newcastle in the late 80s, stood on the Gallowgate end, great times !

Leeds player Rasmus Kristensen time goes from bad to worse.

Underwhelming at Leeds, he somehow got loaned upwards to Roma and Jose Mourinho. But things havent worked out there for him as he got left out of their Europa League squad and has only played 1 match in 6. He then played for Denmark and got 1 start out of 5 as they lost at home to Northern Ireland 2-0

He has now been done for driving too fast in his Bentley Continental - he may have failed but he still gets the big bucks

thestrayferret.co.uk/leeds-united-footballer-accused-of-speeding-in-harrogate/

And what is more it turns out he lives maybe 400 metres from me, which is probably the worst thing of all the above!!
