Nope. Grimbsy are very poor. Especially away from home.
I'm not putting any money on Leeds at 1.3 though. But is a fair price.
LEEDS 'WE WANT A RIOT' UNITED
Maybe a little harsh?

THIS MIGHT HELP
Rob Bagchi and Paul Rogerson in The Unforgiven: "Barry Davies is not a man to condone violence. But on 17 April 1971 the normally polished Match of the Day commentator came dangerously close.
"Needing a win against West Bromwich Albion to draw away from the nagging challenge of Bertie Mee's Arsenal side, Don Revie's Leeds United are already 1-0 down. Then, a poor ball from Norman Hunter cannons off Tony Brown into the Leeds half, where Albion's Colin Suggett is loitering at least 15 yards offside. More in hope than expectation, Brown continues his charge towards goal, and linesman Bill Troupe duly raises his flag. So transparent is the offence that there is a moment of suspended animation while players on both sides wait for referee Ray Tinkler to blow his whistle. He does not. An almost apologetic Brown continues on towards the Leeds goal before squaring for Jeff Astle to execute a simple tap in. Astle, smirking and still half expecting the referee to see sense, jogs back to the halfway line. A decision of almost baroque incompetence has cost Don Revie and Leeds United the championship.
"As the truth dawns that Tinkler has given the goal, Elland Road explodes with rage. There follows one of English football's most bizarre pitch invasions. A handful of spectators, many of them advancing in years, emerge from the packed stands to remonstrate with Tinkler, who is now surrounded by burly policemen. One bewhiskered invader is nattily attired in what is surely a Burton's blazer. This is Leeds after all. A breathless Davies is as incredulous as the players: 'Leeds will go mad,' he shouts, 'and they have every justification for going mad!' If only momentarily, Tinkler's personal safety appears to be in jeopardy. Twenty years later, Johnny Giles is still indignant: 'They weren't hooligans, they were grown men. How he could give the goal there, I just don't know.' Don Revie, stunned that a season's graft has been undone by one single individual, walks on to protest but appears to think better of it. Hunched in a blue gabardine raincoat and chewing fiercely, he gazes skywards in disbelief. He has seen it all before. Davies, screaming now to be heard above the crowd, sympathises. 'Don Revie, a sickened man,' he yells. 'Just look at him, looking at the heavens in disgust!'
"Utter the words 'that ** Tinkler' to any Leeds fan over a certain age and you'll meet with instant recognition. That infamous afternoon has come to encapsulate the Revie era, when one of the greatest club sides English football has ever produced ran the gauntlet of official obduracy, media disapprobation and ill fortune of sometimes grotesque proportions."

Will leeds play a good side?
Competition rules state they must field at least 6 regular 1st team players. As such, Grayson has stated on the clubs website that Leeds will be fielding a strong side, though there will be a couple of changes.
Wouldn't expect Beckford to play, but should be far too good for Grimsby.

beckford may well be rested but whoever comes in they will be 2 strong for grimsby
I am backing a draw or Grimsby to win this one!
Cup upset all the way
Cup upset all the way
I cant think of anyone from Leeds who will be upset if we get knocked out of the JPT
" lay leeds then??"
There is alot more in it to back grimsby to win and a nice amount in it to back the draw.
I am happy with my pick

Grayson has said he fancies a trip to Wembley to pick up a paint pot on the way to the Championship.
I have already advised backing Leeds outright for this pot several times.

Reckon Charlton Leeds or Southampton will win this trophy.
CAFc won't win this. We'll get stuffed at Soton tomorrow night (NAP).
Can anyone advise what sort of team Leeds will put out?
Is Beckford likely to play?

Saturdays game against Swindon as been postponed due to international call ups, so I'm expecting a pretty strong line up tonight.

gradel and vokes look sure to play so expect Leeds to be strong .Also ken bates would love a money spinning day out at Wembley. Really soft half of the draw compared to southern section so I'd expect Leeds to be up for it in front of cameras...and Grimsby are shocking at the momemnt.
Tinkler also cost us the league the following season - a four game home ban, saw us win just one game, Derby won the league by a point.
Our best pitch invasion was at Birmingham in 1985.

You didnt invade the pitch at Brum in 1985!!!
I was there mate you stayed in the terace at the Tilton end and got penned in by the on rushing Blues fans, then you tried to get out collapsed a wall and killed one of your own.
So quite why you can class that as your best invasion i dont know.

sorry dude, didn't realise you had started this earlier. Just wanted a Mr-Winner and all his cronies free thread.
anyway had a score on dirty Leeds ht/ft for a small interest.
looking at it, maybe value in a few of leeds players to score if beckford et al dont play.
looked at that earlier myself. Need the team news before i back a scorer.
Good Luck
Good Luck
Snodgrass is a silly name, might have a few bob on him "to score"
**, doughball, dumpling, no brainer, my thoughts are in my feet, arse.
