Numpty of The Year Award

2008-02-16T07:34:00.000-08:00

Leeds United

Just a quick post to say well done to the Doncaster Rovers groundsman for winning the numpty of the year award. Despite an early kick-off and a sharp frost predicted over night, this intellectually challenged arse decided there was no need to cover the whole pitch.

Well Mr Numpty, this appropriately titled song is just for you.

Leeds United Newsflash: Dennis Wise Leaves Leeds

2008-01-28T09:22:00.000-08:00

Leeds United

Not sure how I feel about this one. I still believe that with the time and players he had last season it was a disgrace that we went down, but on the other hand he deserves credit for galvanising the squad after the 15 point deduction and pushing us to the verge of promotion.

As Leeds united fans I think it would be naive to think that Dennis wise would show any loyalty to our great club. This is just one more twist in the roller coaster that is Leeds United. Think we'd be used to it by now wouldn't you!

As an eternal optimist, here's my prediction. New manager comes in, Leeds secure back to back promotions and our first game back in the premier league is Newcastle at home. Bring it on!

Just not happening at the moment. Great set of results last night, chance to go second and then the very thing we were doing to teams on a regular basis in the first half of the season happens to us. Gutted!

Still at least playing Luton gives me the chance to take the piss out of infamous curb crawler David Pleat. Remember his camp running and skipping pitch celebration back in 1983? Bad enough on its own, but to do it in a shit beige suit!

Luton's life saved by a Yugoslav! Yugoslavia doesn't exist anymore a bit like Pleat's career in football management.

Incredible support, awful result. It's on days like this you know who your friends are.

Martin e-mailed me this ace picture through shortly after the game had finished. Just brilliant!

Keeping the classic 80's theme going, it's time for the Leeds United distractor video.

One of my first ambitions in life was to be in the Rock Steady Crew. Living in Leeds and only being able to do a forward roll meant that this ambition was never likely to be realised. Still, we can all dream, can't we?

Apologies to anybody under 35. This was the dogs bollocks back in the 80's. Honest! P.S Did anybody used to sing Hey You The Service Crew!

Just a quick post to say respect due to Northampton fan Danny Brothers. Danny lives in Southampton and made the long trip up to Elland Road by train, got the football special to the ground with the Leeds fans, had a pint, watched the match, made the long trip back to Southampton and still had a time to write a match review for his Northampton Town football blog.

Leeds United: Down Memory Lane

2007-12-31T04:01:00.000-08:00

Leeds United

One of the great things about coming home for Christmas is that I get to read all the old football books from my childhood.

To help take my mind off the swansea defeat I starting reading The FA Book of Soccer from 1975, in particular a chapter by Don Revie who at the time was manager of England. As you would expect the great Don Revie talks affectionately about his time at Leeds United. He also talked about football matters in general and there were two things that really stood out for me:

How Much The Game Has Changed

Can you imagine this happening today? When talking about his relationship with the players Don says "During my thirteen and a half years as Leeds United's manager, there was not one occasion when we came into conflict over their contracts. Indeed, they generally signed blank contracts. They would give me an idea of the financial terms they required, and then leave it to me to negotiate the best terms I could with the directors and fill in the details!"

How Some Things Never Change

Don Revie also talked about getting respect, loyalty and 100% effort from players and he mentions how his fellow managers were finding this increasingly difficult to do. To support this claim he quotes the ex Arsenal manager Bertie Mee who talked about "Young footballers totally concerned with what they can get rather than what they ought to be giving."

Sounds familiar doesn't it? Lee Bowyer, Harry Kewell, the entire England team! To name but a few.

Have a great New Year and don't forget to raise a glass to the late, great Don Revie.
