it. I think that I don't think
00:07
there's any different. You know,
00:08
I don't think it would be a case
00:09
of sort of going there and try
00:10
and sort of shutting up shop or
00:11
anything like that. They'll
00:12
drop. We'll try and be the main
00:13
protagonists in the game, but
00:14
obviously so will Sheffield
00:15
United because, you know,
00:16
they'll look at this. You know,
00:17
we look at it from the least
00:18
perspective, obviously, and
00:19
think, well, you know, two
00:20
points clear if they get a
00:21
picture there, it's fine, you
00:22
know, which obviously and you're
00:23
right. A lot of people will
00:24
think if they do go there and
00:25
win, there's near enough done.
00:26
I mean, not done in terms of the
00:27
title race, but probably near
00:28
enough done in terms of top to
00:29
bottom. So it'd be a bit too
00:30
early to say that. You'd have
00:31
to say it'd be looking very,
00:32
very good. But obviously
00:33
Sheffield United will look at
00:34
it as a massive chance to
00:35
overtake Leeds, you know, and
00:36
they'll probably feel obviously
00:37
they should be level with them
00:38
already in terms of obviously
00:39
it's only two point gap when
00:40
they obviously have two point
00:41
stops at the start of the
00:42
season. So, you know, they'll
00:44
obviously look at it as a huge
00:45
opportunity as well, but that
00:46
means they'll come out for
00:47
Leeds as well. So there's
00:48
probably going to be gaps. It's
00:49
probably going to be open. I
00:50
mean, it probably and I don't
00:52
know, he's famous last words.
00:53
We never really know, but the
00:54
Burnley away game, it obviously
00:55
feels a bit like that in terms
00:59
of the magnitude of it. But I
01:00
think going into that game,
01:01
everybody expected it to be
01:02
cagey and a lot of people
01:03
thought beforehand it might
01:04
well be nil-nil. You could see
01:06
it happening a mile off.
01:07
Whereas this feels like it'll
01:08
be the opposite. You know, it
01:09
feels like Sheffield United
01:10
will go for it. They'll go for
01:11
the jugular. Leeds will be
01:13
brilliant on the break, you
01:14
would think as well. I mean,
01:15
you know, I'm not saying
01:16
they'll have to play on the
01:17
break because they'll probably
01:18
try and force it themselves
01:19
and just a very, very hard
01:20
game to call. I mean,
01:21
obviously we thought that kind
01:23
of like before the reverse
01:24
fixture at Elland Road back in
01:26
October and obviously Leeds had
01:27
a 2-0 victory and that was
01:29
very, very, you know, one-sided
01:30
and really, you know, they did
01:31
sort of show their class in
01:32
there. And it's going to be
01:33
a fascinating one because
01:34
obviously there's a lot of
01:35
things, a general big thought
01:36
amongst a lot of people, even
01:37
a lot of other managers that
01:38
Leeds are like comfortably the
01:39
best team in this division.
01:40
But obviously the league table
01:43
shows them two points clear,
01:44
but that's, you know, a bit
01:45
false because of the two points
01:46
stopped by Sheffield United.
01:47
And this will obviously provide
01:48
a lot of, you know, sort of
01:49
truer sort of analysis of that
01:51
really. It's a very difficult
01:53
one to call. Blades have won
01:54
the last four, Leeds have won
01:55
the last four. So something
01:56
has to get from that
01:57
perspective. You know, Leeds,
01:59
I mean, I'm quite surprised
02:00
really how short they are.
02:01
Their odds on favourites about
02:02
even, well about 10 to 11,
02:03
which is quite surprising
02:05
really to me when they're
02:06
away from home. But then
02:07
again, I suppose that does
02:08
sort of like back up the
02:09
sort of general feeling that
02:10
they are the best team in
02:11
this division.
