Carabao Cup & FA Cup Thread

[Ollie 4,400]

Well i was born in '86 but yeah, there's more than 40 years of history there which is the only reason i was sad they went down or that it's taken them so long to get back. Rivalry lasts forever. It's nice that we stuck their final nail in though with the 1-0 win on the last day of 03/04, their last ever premiership game

[Kojo 4,676]

This is for all of you foreign fans or newer fans. Not many of you would've experienced us playing Leeds. Chelsea and Leeds have a mega rivalry, even now Leeds sing "We hate Chelsea" in every fucking match they play, even when they were in League 1. Obviously our first FA Cup win was over Leeds in 1970, one of the most talked about finals ever and first ever to be won via a replay. We beat them in the Carling Cup around 10 years ago 2-0 away with 2 Eidur goals but we do not usually do well there at all. There was an epic 3-2 win in 94/95 after going 2-0 down thanks to their keeper John Lucic being shit (He was always that good) but we always do badly against them away. Lots of memories though.

I was at the game in 02/03 when Eidur scored THAT stunning bicycle kick, another really cracking game when they were on the demise. It doesn't really matter where they are now, Chelsea vs Leeds is Chelsea vs Leeds or Leeds vs Chelsea whatever way you wanna put it. I remember Jon Harley's winner and the LEGEND JFH missing a penalty for them against us but scored 2 the year before when they humped us 3-1. Laurent Charvet ... remember his volley? Bet not many of you can and even James Milner scored a belter against us when he was 16!

This really is a match i wanted to see again and i hope we absolutely trash them. They are the dirtiest bunch of cunts football has ever seen, goes back to the Don Revie days in the 60's and 70's fucking shameful team, even the legendary Brian Clough couldn't control those bunch of shit filth. They are, as Dave Jones described, vile animals. If we get out of this match with minimal injury, we'll be lucky.

JT and Lamps are very much needed. Tell Luiz to stay at home, JT and Cahill are the guys to play at the back. Then i'd like to see Lampard with Ramires and Mikel in the middle with Hazard, Sturridge and Mata as the 3 up top. 4-3-3 is the way to go. We need the mix of power with skill in all areas. Can't wait for this! Long way to go though. Let's do them scum!

Oh yeah and Ken Bates is their owner, our owner from 1982 - 2003 when he bought us for £1 and sold us to Roman for £150 million ish. So yeah, Chelsea vs Leeds is pretty big.

I must say Ollie, you really are one hell of a legend when it comes to being a supporter of this club.

[Ollie 4,400]

Remember it well, Nigel Martyn saved everything including Duberry's header late on, well that's the save i remember the most anyway. And they done us 2-0 too in the pissing rain, that Cardiff twat Stephen McPhail scoring twice as a youngster. Nice that we beat them on the last or 2nd to last game in '99 to get that Champions League spot to start our history in that competition. Again tough, they sure made us work for it. Gus' header sealing the deal. Good times. Ah and i remember a Mark Hughes hat-trick against em too with a shocking penalty that somehow went in. Think that was against Lucic too. We've certainly had our battles with em both home and away.

Yep, i'm 26 tomorrow (Friday) but not feeling that young any more lol.

[Ollie 4,400]

Yeah i think the majority of people here know my hate for Arsenal. I could write a whole book on it but growing up as a Chels with many Gooner mates from 94/2003 (School years) probably says most of the story as no matter what the circumstances were, they weren't gonna lase against us, were they. Last minute goals galore, beatings, comebacks... yeah i hate Arsenal probably more than your average yid in truth.

[Milan 17,959]

Leeds away, fantastic!

Hopefully, we will play 4 games at the Wembley stadium this season.

[Kez 2,727]

Leeds away isn't going to be pretty.

[edetarod 2,155]

who cares...i'm just glad we knocked Ushited out of this so hopefully they won't win anything this season

i would love us to knock Arsenal out too and continue their trophy drought

[manpe 10,861]

Who cares? it is an FA Cup quater final, i care!

It's the quarter final of the League Cup.

[Spike 12,049]

I minute I saw that Leeds had qualified into the next round I knew Chelsea would be playing them. I just knew it...it's written in the stars as it seems. Now I've less reason to hate Leeds than most of the UK members on here but I'm sure they would be more than happy for me to jump on the bandwagon. FUCK LEEDS SCUM

Fanatics

Sleep well before the Epic encounter of two of Footballs giants, history, rivalry and Fanatism, we will beat our Northern adversaries. Why I hear you Chelsea F's cry, and cry indeed as Leeds have never beaten us in a Cup Game. OK, League wise they have fisted us good and proper and that puts the overall head to head's in their favour as being the "better" team.

Head to head summary Club P W D L F A +/- League Chelsea 90 26 25 39 107 136 -29 Leeds United 90 39 25 26 136 107 +29 FA Cup Chelsea 8 5 3 0 17 6 +11 Leeds United 8 0 3 5 6 17 -11 Football League Cup Chelsea 3 2 1 0 5 1 +4 Leeds United 3 0 1 2 1 5 -4 Totals Chelsea 101 33 29 39 129 143 -14 Leeds United

Only NF's will reply to this thread "First Time for Everything", me I say "Fisting Time for Antone" who mutters these words.

Only Non Fanatics Know the Score on this one.

Prediction time... I fear a backlash from a long and exhausive trip back from the land of the sun and the slopey people. 2-0 to the hosts (and be on you toes F's, be on your toe's)

Don't see the need to create another seperate thread for this Leeds clash especially when you're just posting the H2H record and asking for prediction. Merged.

[Kieran. 6,317]

I love the British gas cup, really hope we win this

Remember when we beat you 1-0 and you were relegated in 2003-04?

[Ollie 4,400]

To be honest, most Chelsea fans don't even know who the fuck Leeds are, lucky them. Must be annoying being a Leeds fan now though, i mean even Wigan are a premiership team now and Reading.... There are always giant killings in the FA Cup, now Leeds are hoping to be the giant killers in a tournament rather than the giants. Sad times for them.

Let the Leeds fans have their fun, the League Cup game will basically be their funeral because they'll never play us again. It's just a' good bye, nice to have known you' match.

[Kojo 4,676]

This just keeps getting worse and worse...

[zolayes 14,489]

Headingley is where Yorkshire play cricket and Leeds play Rugby League ,,,,hope we are playing at Elland road

may have sold it and leased it back ..Im sure they still play there

[Liquidator 5,176]
