Season 12-13 Leeds 1-6 Watford – least said about that the better!

Amazingly since 05-06, there has been four red cards in this fixture! Ben Foster and Darius Henderson saw red in our 2-1 win on St Valentines day 2006, Paul Connolly had an early bath in March 2012 and Jason Pearce was also saw red last season! Lets hope for a clean game tomorrow!
