Matches – 9 January 2012 – Arsenal 1 Leeds United 0 Matches – 9 January 2012 – Arsenal 1 Leeds United 0 FA Cup Third Round – Emirates Stadium – 59,615 Scorers: Arsenal – Henry (78 mins) - Leeds - None Arsenal: Szczesny, Coquelin (Yennaris 33), Koscielny, Squillaci, Miquel, Song, Arteta, Ramsey, Oxlade-Chamberlain (Walcott 68), Arshavin, Chamakh (Henry 68) Leeds United: Lonergan, Thompson, Lees, O'Dea, White, Townsend, Clayton, Vayrynen (Brown 60), Pugh, Nunez (Forssell 81), Becchio (McCormack 74) In December 2011 the FA Cup third round draw pitted Leeds United against one of the game’s major forces for the third year in a row: 2010 saw them pull off a memorable triumph over Manchester United at Old Trafford, a year later they were paired with Arsenal at the Emirates. In January 2012, the same opponents in the same stadium awaited the Whites (or more accurately the Blacks and Luminous Yellows based on the actual colours of the distinctive away strip worn The magic of the Cup saw United paired with mighty Arsenal throughout this most disjointed and uneven of seasons). “It’s another great tie for us,” said manager Simon Grayson. “We’ve had some fantastic cup draws over the past few years and this is another opportunity for us to come up against one of the leading sides in the country. “We beat Man United last year, we performed superbly against Tottenham the same season, and last season we were within minutes of winning at Arsenal. We took 9,000 fans with us last season and I’m sure they will be looking forward to going back to the Emirates once again. “These are games you look forward to, but equally we have a lot of important League games ahead of us before then and it’s those games that are our bread and butter. Everyone enjoyed the draw being made, but our focus is on the Championship and the games we have coming up. There’s no question of anyone being distracted, and when the time is right we will look forward to the Arsenal game and think about it.” www.mightyleeds.co.uk - Matches – 9 January 2012, Arsenal 1 Leeds United 0 1 United chairman Ken Bates had some nice words to say about Arsenal and their business model: “Where they are today is through good business management, retained profits. They have a 60,000- capacity stadium, which Lord Triesman gave as an example of bad business finance. I wonder what the mortgage was on Lord Triesman’s house. “Let’s face it, Arsenal have been a consistently successful club and it has all been done on self- generated, reinvested profits, not because of the manager but because of the intrinsic mindset of the board. Managers come and go. The board appoint the manager. The manager does a great job but the final financial decision is with the board. “If you ask me what I admire about Arsenal, it is that it is a well-run club. If you look at Liverpool, apart from those idiots Hicks and Gillett, again no-one put any money into Liverpool. “The most fantastic of all is Manchester United. They haven’t put a penny into Manchester United. They have got the biggest ground in the country, a consistent record of success and home grown players. They have done it through first class management.” The Gunners were set to lose Gervinho and Marouane Chamakh to the African Cup of Nations, and Arsene Wenger’s solution was to bring in former favourite Thierry Henry on a two-month loan deal from New York Red Bulls. Henry: “I hope people are not going to compare what I did here before. I’m going to be here most of the time on the bench, we all know it and I’m not stupid to think I’m going to start — we all know that Robin van Persie is the main guy up front. Thierry Henry warms up before the game “I am not 25 any more. I am not going to take the ball from the middle of the park and dribble past five or six players. Don’t expect that. (But) if you have the awareness to see things before players, you can get away with not having your legs. Look at Ryan Giggs, it’s not the same Ryan Giggs who used to take the ball from the wing or from Denis Irwin and dribble past everyone and deliver a great cross. But what Ryan Giggs has is he can see the game, he is always available, he puts himself in a position where he can receive the ball alone and then you will never lose your touch. That’s what I am going to try to bring to this team if I have to play. “I can definitely have some input out there, to talk to the guys and let them know what it means to win. I am a competitor and that will never leave my body.” Henry won multiple honours with Arsenal, including two domestic titles, before joining Barcelona in a £16m deal in 2007. His transfer was pushed through shortly before noon the Friday before the game and Simon Grayson paid tribute to a forward whose eight-year reign at Arsenal established him as an www.mightyleeds.co.uk - Matches – 9 January 2012, Arsenal 1 Leeds United 0 2 international star. Grayson, who was a Blackburn Rovers defender when Henry joined Arsenal from Juventus in 1999, said: “It would be nice if Henry could play. He was fantastic for the Premier League. With the pace and the opportunities he used to take, he must be one of the best players the Premier League has ever seen. It’s probably fitting for him to come back and have a couple of months with Arsenal. He could make anything happen – run the full length of the pitch, nutmeg three people and stick the ball in the back of the net. At 34 he’ll be a different player and we’re not expecting him to be the player of before but he’ll be a major threat if he plays. The experience he brings to Arsenal’s dressing room will be second to none.” Understandably, all the pre-match discussions were about a player who had scored eleven times in as many games against Leeds. There was, though, the constant, nagging memory that United had pulled off a shock at the same stadium a year earlier. The United manager admitted uncertainty about the shape of Arsenal’s selection, saying: “I don’t know what team they’ll pick but I’m sure they’ll want to win. They’ll want to progress and get some silverware. “The biggest threat to us is probably ourselves. At times we can produce performances but then cause ourselves problems. But we feel comfortable stepping into an arena like the Emirates. The players aren’t nervous in these games because they’re comfortable with the atmosphere. It’s what they’re involved with over the course of each season, just by being Leeds United players. It’s a privilege to play for Leeds and you have United fans at the Emirates to cope with that. “Sometimes cup-ties sit nicely with the club. We can handle the big arenas. Our supporters go to other grounds and people recognise how many we take. I took my son to Manchester City versus Liverpool the other day and he asked me ‘Will they make as much noise as the Leeds fans?’ I said no and they didn’t. That’s why we’re comfortable on the big stage.” Leeds had taken 9,000 supporters to the previous year’s third round tie but 4,000 fewer would attend this time with the fixture moved from the weekend to Monday evening as the game chosen for television coverage by ESPN. www.mightyleeds.co.uk - Matches – 9 January 2012, Arsenal 1 Leeds United 0 3 Grayson said: “It’s disappointing that we can’t take as many fans. If it had been on a Saturday or a Sunday then we would have done. They were fantastic last season and I’m sure the 5,000 we take will be too. I’d have preferred a Saturday game and ideally it would have been on a weekend but you’re at the mercy of TV channels these days.” Arsenal confirmed that 21-goal forward Robin van Persie would sit out the match, but Grayson was beset by selection problems, with Jonny Howson (knee injury), Robert Snodgrass (recovering from emergency appendix surgery) and a host of defenders unavailable. The only United player who had featured against Arsenal in 2011 was Luciano Becchio. 19-year- old Zac Thompson was named at right-back in a young rearguard that also included Tom Lees and Aidy White; Mika Vayrynen was recalled to the heart of the midfield, loan man Andros Townsend was patrolling the left wing with Ramon Nunez on the other flank. There was an amusing incident during the pre-match warm up. As is their wont, ESPN had presenter Rebecca Lowe asking Robbie Savage and Martin Keown their opinions at the side of the pitch just yards from the United fans. Michael Brown took it upon himself to use the trio for target practice. It was described as a ‘stray ball’ in most of the reports, but it was undoubtedly intentional when Brown succeeded, banging Keown on the side of the head to raucous cheers from United supporters. Keown dealt admirably with the incident, brushing it off with a thumbs up sign towards the Leeds team and quipped that “You're supposed to tell me they're coming”.

    Editor Notes Alex Everson Welcome to the the first ever online only issue of a new Reading fanzine, The Digestive. This fanzine is here to offer you some light hearted, some deeper, and some maybe downright silly pieces of content for you to get stuck into about our club. In conjunction with @ElmParkRoyals, we are looking to breed a new fan voice, and give the everyday fan the oppurtunity to write about that long forgotten match, their favourite player who everyone else disliked, or perhaps delve into expected goals models at long last. We are looking to try and grow this fanzine from a small acorn in this, the first issue into something regular, with contributors coming from you! The fans, and readers of this zine. If writing about Reading is something you've ever wanted to do, this is your outlet to let people know your thoughts and feelings. This issue comes during our first International break of the season - before a long distance trip to Middlesbrough in mid September. Hopefully, by the time we next connect - Reading will have picked up more points and be moving up the table. Until then, please enjoy the fanzine, and if you are interested in writing, designing covers, or want to just pass a comment, please send @ElmParkRoyals a tweet. Thanks, Alex Everson Thanks to our contributors in this issue Ben Morley Dave Stevens Erik Orrgarde Harrison Mitchell Jordan Cottle Matt Lansley Reading_Deep Tom Lunn August Review Matt Lansley An opening six games in which we have picked up 7 points,can almost be broken down into two sections.

Four months earlier at the City Ground, Leeds had romped to an emotional 4-0 triumph against Forest. Days earlier former United midfielder Gary Speed had taken his own life, and the victory served as an emotional tribute to a great footballer by his first club. United’s form slumped badly following that comprehensive victory, thanks in the main to the brittleness of their rearguard, but new manager Neil Warnock had steadied the ship, with just two goals conceded in five games. Back in September, the Yorkshire Evening Post’s Leon Wobschall highlighted the defensive shortcomings which the previous manager had been unable to resolve: “The switching around of Leeds United’s centre-halves has resembled a game of musical chairs since the start of last season – with Simon Grayson’s search for a harmonious and long Home grown youngster Tom Lees, pictured lasting combination a wholly taxing one.

The 42-year-old, who had succeeded John Toshack as manager of Wales in December 2010, appeared as a guest the previous day on BBC’s Football Focus programme, with presenter Dan Walker, who recalled the day on his blog: “He was cracking jokes with Gary McAllister, his midfield partner from the title- winning Leeds side of 1991/92. Off air we talked about playing golf, how good his boys were at football and his dreams of taking Wales Howard Wilkinson - "As the ultimate professional, Gary was a star in the true sense" to the World Cup in 2014. “After Focus we recorded a 10-minute piece with Gary talking about Wales’ qualifying campaign for the next World Cup. He spoke with passion about the fixtures and desire to see success. His hope was that the upturn in form would see his team playing in front of full stadia again. He joked about Team GB and how Scotland would be an easy game, McAllister giggled. “I joined Gary in the Match of the Day production office a few minutes later where he was chatting with Shearer, Mark Lawrenson and McAllister.

  • Review of 2010/11 – Part 1 – Hello Hello, We're Back
    Review of 2010/11 – Part 1 – Hello hello, we’re back again After the high drama of the club’s promotion campaign, a dilemma faced Leeds United supporters in the summer of 2010: should they be satisfied with consolidation or dreaming of a first- time advance into the top flight? A relegation dogfight was just not on the agenda, but the club’s last experience of the Championship had been a desperate one. According to the eve of Promotion celebrations in May 2010, but by August Tresor Kandol, Jermaine Beckford and Paul Dickov season poll in the were forgotten as United prepared for life in the Championship Leeds Leeds Leeds magazine, ‘Building a platform for 2011/12’ was the priority for more than half of respondents, though 43% expected United to finish in the Play Off places. Manager Simon Grayson was bullish: “We are not in the Championship to make up the numbers, we are in it for promotion… but the sensible aim would be to make sure that we don’t waste a lot of seriously hard work by going straight back down. It took the club three years to get out of League One and the last thing we want is to risk going back there. “I’d like us to have a go at the Play Offs and if the squad here realise their potential then I think we can. But if it doesn’t happen and we end up halfway down the table then we have to be honest enough to class it as a decent season and remember that we were new to the league.

  • Review of 2011/12 – Part 3 – End of Season Blues
    Review of 2011/12 – Part 3 – End of season blues On the morning of 18 February, the day of their home game with Doncaster Rovers, Leeds United formally confirmed Neil Warnock as the new manager. Caretaker Neil Redfearn’s time in charge would end with the fixture, for which he made a number of changes, moving Danny Pugh to central midfield, recalling Andros Townsend on the left wing and giving Alex Bruce a start at right- back. Neil Warnock celebrates United's fightback against Doncaster United weren’t in the contest in the first half and Warnock, watching from the stands, must have wondered what he was getting into when Rovers took the lead just after the half hour. Leeds keeper Andy Lonergan made a good block from a James Hayter effort, but the ball fell to Mamadou Bagayoko who stabbed it into an unguarded goal. The advantage was no more than Rovers deserved and there was an accustomed air of resignation as United players trudged off to boos and jeers at the interval. Deciding to make his first intervention, Warnock set off for the dressing room. Warnock: “It was really frustrating being in the stands. After 10 minutes, I was really wishing I had put my name down on the sheet to be able to be in the dugout as there was a space on it. “It wasn't a bad first team talk! They responded to the changes. Neil Redfearn was already shouting at them when I went in. I let him do that. I wanted to be the good cop! “The little things were what I was desperate to change, maybe the ones the punters don’t notice.
