[Zidane]

Tonight sees Leeds v Fulham in the Championship and Sutton United v Macclesfield in the Conference.
Also its the much related return of the EFL Trophy whose fixtures include Cheltenham v Swansea U21's tonight.See if you can spot Bob Helm in a crowd of around 100.

[Zidane]

Leeds 0 Fulham 0......I think Fulham will win the Championship this season so no need for the Leeds fans to be despondent !
Norwich 2 QPR 0......Norwich bounce back after Sundays disappointing loss.
Sutton Utd 2 Macclesfield 1.....Macc were leading 1-0 with 5 minutes to go.
Cheltenham 1 Swansea U 21's 2....Attendance 801,EFL Trophy,sez it all...

[panmotor]

Still unbeaten!

Sunderland v Leeds live on Sky UK at 17.30 Saturday so will be watching on my slingbox.

Anyone got any news of the Championship on Thai tv this year? I watched a few games on MCOT from memory last year.

The unbeaten streak marches on :-"

This weekend sees our 2 most followed revered teams with difficult fixtures ...the ONCE GREAT Leeds Utd travel to Sunderland whilst Scunny entertain Oxford Utd in the tropical Lincolnshire heat.. Oxford were DMs tip for the L1 title this year and this will be a tuffy for the Iron .

Latest news for Sunderland is the local police have readied road blocks and water cannons in preperation for the traveling estimated 700-800 or so Leeds fans ... not expecting trouble but they may smell of cow sh*t so soap will also be provided !!! .. elsewhere translators will be brought on hand in case any Mackems n Yorkies actually break out into a conversation .

EXAMPLE

Goals from Ben Williamson and Craig McAllister saw Eastleigh hold off Tranmere at Ten Acres. Hardly surprising with a pitch that SIZE.

[Zidane]

Aston Villa 4 Norwich 2
Sunderland 0 Leeds 2
Scunthorpe 1 Oxford Utd 0
Carlisle 3 Cheltenham 0
Chesterfield 2 Port Vale 0
Forest Green 4 Yeovil 3
Gateshead 3 Macclesfield 0
Bradford PA 3 FC United of Manchester 0

No draws...3 sets of fans happy.....5 sets of fans sad

[Drunk Monkey]

Both Scunny and Leeds won !! ...

SCUNTHORPE REMAIN UNBEATEN so far this season ... whilst after watching the Sunderalnd Leeds game i must say the Mighty Whites do look like a good outfit especially going forward ... this could be disrupted as Chris Wood looks like hes going to a bigger club BURNLEY .. and yesterday injuries to hernandez and that Eku fella ... stand out player was the blond haired wing back Ali some thing ..

Happy days for Adhoc Nigglg n Pan ...

[Zidane]

A lot of EFL Trophy matches tonight including....Leeds United v Newport,Middlesborough v Scunthorpe and Norwich v Charlton.

[stattointhailand]

Just had a message from MCOT TV channel. It would appear they have finally got the contract sorted (most TV Co's would have done it before the season started but TIT )
Wouldn't have bothered posting apart from the fact that there is a chance for Udonites to get up in the middle of the night to see the MIGHTY CHELTENHAM TOWN live on Thai TV (once in a lifetime op )

[BobHelm]

Thanks for that Statts...
Given what t I have been privileged to see of Town while in the UK, I can only suggest that despite the **** start to the season that the Hammers have had, they can be confident of seeing their names in the draw of the next round..

Lilly Swhites looking for a Grotty replacement for Wood ???

Leeds have tabled a bid for NEC Nijmegen striker Jay-Roy Grot but look set to fail with a move for Middlesbrough's Rudy Gestede as their hunt for new strikers intensifies on the back of Chris Wood's exit. (Yorkshire Evening Post)

Oh Statts, this is not your usual style. You're not concerned by any chance that we will have a fixture next season, in whatever division?
Anyway, tonight sees the mighty whites playing against somebody in the whatever it's called this season cup.
And on Saturday LUFC travel to Nottingham Forest. i can see the 3 points already. [-o<

[Zidane]

Some League Cup results from last night.....
Leeds United 5 Newport 1
Middlesborough 3 Scunthorpe 0
Norwich 4 Charlton 1

also,a couple of minor shocks ?? Fulham 0 Bristol Rovers 1,Watford 2 Bristol City 3.
So,a good night for Bristol but how many changes do teams make from their considered first eleven ?

Tonight on MCOT/Channel 9,as stated previously,its Cheltenham v West Ham.Cheltenham had a shocking pre-season losing 3 games away to Conference South sides and,at home,0-3 v Bristol City and 1-5 v Peterborough......could be a long hard season for them and reports on their performances on Udon Map could well be moderated !

I also see that Nottingham Forest v Leeds is live on MCOT on Saturday....both teams going well,so should be a good game.

[Zidane]

Disappointment for forum members in the EFL Cup....
Cheltenham 0 West Ham United 2
Newcastle United 2 Nottingham Forest 3 (aet)

Cheltenham put on a brave show but were undone by two goals just before half time.They had a couple of decent chances particularily a low volley across goal by Pell that Holman couldn't quite reach.
Newcastle made 10 changes from the side that lost to Huddersfield at the weekend but lost a thrilling tie in extra time in front of a near 28,000 crowd.
