From what I have seen it was not West Ham robbed as the correct decision was made. It was more that Woolwich were lucky and did not deserve that decision because of the skulduggery they have been getting away with all season. The non foul on Gabriel leading to our goal against them being disallowed was much worse and that goal should have been given
From the BBC
'We have seen pushing, shoving, grabbing and pulling on corners all season. Goalkeepers have been pressurised and harried too.
Woolwich have been the kings of it, crowding and surrounding goalkeepers at corners, finding ways to create space and score goals from set-pieces.
That they benefit from it in such a decisive way won't be lost on some.
Is this different? Crucially, it was.
It is hard to argue that the Spain international was not impeded. Without the foul contact by Pablo, Raya would surely have had a simple catch.
Pablo had his arm across Raya and he was holding on to the goalkeeper's left arm.'
Hopefully it will lead to Woolwich getting bad decisions in the next 2 games but I would not count on it.
Think Tel and RKM need to have good games today.
Hold the width and get behind the full back to the byline will be important to breaking Leeds down.

RKM needs to do something. He shows flashes but is so wasteful when it matters.
Have been feeling Tom Dick since I woke up this morning, and will feel like that all evening.
Why oh why didn't I be like all my other friends and not give a monkey's about football. I used to believe that the joys have outweighed the angst and misery, but not so sure anymore, especially this season.
Ah well, off to the Lane I go.

Like with Villa, I expect we'll see within the first 5 minutes whether Leeds are 'up for it' or not. Hopefully the Spammer result yesterday means they're less inclined to battle - but it cuts both ways with West Ham facing Leeds on the final day while we're up against an Everton side still fighting for a European place.
I think we need to win this, and then depends on the Newcastle vs Spammer game as to whether we need one more after that. I can see 43pts being needed to stay up, with West Ham equalling their 42 points relegation season total from 2003.

No chance, yes we could lose both games but no way if we beat Leeds are we going to capitulate to one of the poorest Chelsea sides in 30 years or against a stodgy Everton side - could see us losing both games by a couple of goals, but not a 6-0
Think if we win tonight we should be in the mood to take on Chelsea of course if the toon beat West Ham it won't matter but we need to win tonight obviously ,we draw think we are bang in trouble again .
The key thing is we need to get the ball forward quickly. Once they settle in their banks of. 5 and 4 it’s gonna be hard for us with our lack of technical creativity.
Spurs 4 - leeds 1! 
I’ll be leaving in 30 mins. Always leave roughly 3 hours before KO.Fucking hell, that's early. Aren't you working?

I obviously can't speak for Coys 1955 but I'm not sure most of us will be "enjoying"
Read a report earlier saying Howe is leaving out players who might be off in the summer.
Tough one if they are good players. Notably Gordon left on the bench at the weekend. Trippier on the bench, Lb played RB and so Dan Burn was put at left back!!
Maybe Eddie has realised some players aren’t listening to him.
Have they checked out already so not giving 100% and won’t again?
Or he gives them one last home game to say goodbye and they do give 100%??
Or play the team who give a shit and want to cement a place in the team next season?
Hopefully the geordie crowd pushes them over the line.
I doubt it.
Come on...the bookies have us as heavy favourites....
This game is going to be a lot harder than people think. Leeds are not going to be a push over.
Getting the win would give us some daylight, between us and Spam, but it all depends on what Spurs team turns up.
Fingers crossed we'll all be happy tonight.

Ah, the old cursing technique.
You think that makes me feel any better?
