I always quite liked Michalik in his Bolton days (probably wouldn't be out of place there now) and he is only a bench player currently at Leeds. As you say a very good defensive unit.

He's not a bad player but not worthy of a starting position at Leeds, He's surprisingly a liability in the air for a guy of 6ft 4...

Great result for Leeds.

Owen missed more chances at Toon than he scored, missed some sitters, and he continues to do so at United.

No where near the player he was, and playing bit parts in FA Cup games and other games which are 'easier', aren't good for him.

Just got back from the game, absolute garbage! If Gibson is premier league standard I'm a prop forward (10st wet through). Don't get me wrong Leeds deserved it, as for the injury time I can only assume it was for the obscene time wasting from their keeper.

The 2 penalty calls, were they? From what I saw Welbecks looked possible Owens doubtful.

Welbeck looked to lose balance just before the leeds player came across him but Owens was definatly a foul but was right on the edge of the area.

It wasn't really discussed during the game but in the build up to the Leeds goal it looked as though Welbeck was pulled back by the defender as he went for the ball although i'd like to see it again.

Some of the passing today was atrocious and i'd agree about Gibson apart from the odd spectacular shot offers very little and whoever compaired him to Fletcher wants there head seeing too. Tommy Ketchup looked poor again with no comunication between him and the back four, then we get onto Neville the guy hasn't played in weeks but didn't look liked he'd played football in his life he was GARBAGE i'd have offerd more pace and better passing down the right hand side.
Fergies substitutions were poor aswell Owen should have replaced Berbshitov, Carrick for Gibson and Valencia for Welbeck.

Well, he had the chance to come to us, and play every week, or at least until his wet tissue hamstring went snap.

Having said that, the way things are at the mo, we'd be trying to sell him to........Manchester United. Probably.

Sums it up!
Leeds fans will be wet for weeks, can't blame them though. Wanted them to win today, doesn't sound as ridiculous now there below us in the pyramid.

It's barmy Hull aren't pulling out all the stops to stay in this division, because games with Leeds in the not too distant future will be very enjoyable 'in the top flight' mind.

Every chance of meeting next season in the Championship - in fact looking increasingly an odds-on chance.

Wow, just wow.

I don't think it's a case of not pulling out the stops, we are in the midst of a tricky run of fixtures, and as much as it pains me to admit, we are a one-man team, and we are desperate to have him back in time for a run of fixtures that we can pick up some points in.

Anyway, according to his Twitter page, we are making a move for...........Freddy Adu! Feel the underwhelment!

Indeed, Chelsea and Man City on their way to Humberside and visits to Spurs and Man U. Makes the home game against Wolves a must win.

Not a great deal easier for us with Sunderland Away in between two fixtures with Arsenal and then Liverpool away at the end of the month. Home to Burnley needs to be a banker - should be even more interesting if Coyle makes the switch.
