Thats puts another team further clear of Leeds United.

If Southend can beat Leeds this weekend, Leeds would be 7 points from safety with only 7 games to go!jump: jump: jump: jump:

Come on Southend!

We beat Leeds 3-1 in the League Cup earlier in the season, only to be beaten by them 2-0 in Dennis Wise's first game in charge a few days later.

We're missing a key player in Alan McComack through suspension, and we will be vulnerable in the middle of the park. However, Leeds will be vulnerable everywhere. I think we can win it. I f we do, Leeds are goners.

Anyway, like I was sayin', shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey's uh, shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich. That- that's about it.

COME ON YOU SAAAAAAARFEND!

ROBBIE BLAKE today conceded that Leeds United's fight against relegation will be at the point of failure if the club leave Southend without a victory on Saturday.

But the striker insisted a priceless win at Roots Hall would leave Dennis
Wise's squad with an important psychological advantage at the start of the Championship' s final straight.

Leeds have been the division's bottom club ever since their victory over
Hull City on January 30, and a fourth away win of the season in Essex would lift the club out of 24th place.

More significantly, it would improve United's recent haul of points to seven from three games, a run of form designed to intimidate teams around them.

Leeds have given the impression of a relegated club for most of the season, but a sequence of two wins and a draw would hint heavily at a late revival.

Blake, however, is also aware that Leeds have much to lose in Essex. In the wake of Barnsley's win over Plymouth last night, defeat to Southend would leave United seven points from safety when their goal difference is taken into account.

A draw may result in a similar deficit, and even a victory will do no more
than keep Leeds afloat.

Blake was justified in describing Saturday's fixture as "one of the biggest
games in the club's history" but the striker knows survival will not be on
offer at Roots Hall.

"We haven't been off the bottom (of the division) for a long time, and that would be a massive lift," said Blake.

"We'll do that if we get a win on Saturday, and that would be seven points from three games. If you take seven points from three games you'll go a long way towards staying up.

"People will look at it and know we're on a run.

"It's one of the biggest games in the club's history. Obviously it's only
Southend, but it's a massive six-pointer.

"It's not going to be pretty or free-flowing football because there's no
time for that. We've got to believe that we can go there and win. Three
points is a must."

Before Tuesday night's results, the suggestion was that Southend would carry the bulk of the pressure on Saturday. As the home team and a club in as much trouble as Leeds, their scope for error was equally thin.

But the 90th-minute goal produced by Ritchie Foran against Burnley on
Tuesday has changed the dynamic of Saturday's fixture.

Steve Tilson's side will line-up against Leeds with successive victories
behind them, and knowing that a third win would leave Wise's players far in the distance.

But the bottom seven teams are presently separated by six points, a factor which will favour Leeds for as long as the gap remains so tight.
Burnley have been slowly sucked in - the result of 16 games without a win - and none of the sides involved in the relegation fight are striking for safety with any conviction.

Blake said: "We need to keep other teams in and around us.

Ceeky bastard, check out the bit in bold.

We'll send them down. tup:

Yeh, Dennis Wise was saying something similar about Southend, saying something like 'their cute little club'. I think these Leeds fellas think they've got some divine right to be out of this relegation struggle.

Fat chance if they think the club's reputation will alone keep them up:chick:
