Leeds United Fans Smiling At Long Last!



I’ve just checked and it isn’t December, but all Leeds United fans' Christmases seem to have come at once! Ken Bates has gone. GFH Capital are muttering about buying back Elland Road, and to top it all, Leeds didn’t just kick off the new season with a home win, they scored TWICE and new million pound man Luke Murphy scored the winner!

True, the victory was against a Brighton team which, following the departure of Poyet, appears to be in disarray. True too, Oscar Garcia reckons the winner should have been disallowed for handball. And true too, that Leeds fell a goal behind and left it late to plunder that winner. But let’s not be churlish. Leeds are off and running, Nice Guy Brian is smiling, and everything suddenly looks rosy.

Mind you, talking Rosie, QPR’s victory over Sheffield Wednesday must be a worry. As must be Wigan’s thumping of Barnsley. And Reading’s victory over Ipswich. And Leicester’s win at Miserableborough. And Udinese Calcio's away win. And the away points for Bolton and Blackburn. It is a stronger Championship this year so Leeds will have to improve considerably to figure in a promotion push.

But back to the positives. Leeds won without Byram. Poleon came off the bench. And 33,000 fans flooded into the Bateless Elland Road. Happy Days!
For now at least!

  2. Where have you been hiding? Great start only 45 to go! The Bates stench has been lifted. Its going to be a rough year as in tougher than previous, I still do not see any one running away with it lets not forget the boys that dropped were not good enough to stay up, will see where all stand after Christmas.

  3. You forgot the Brighton goal that was offside.......... I feel sorry for you mate as for the moment all you have is your hollow sarcasm. But im sure Leeds will slip up occasionally this season and that should open the door for your usual drivel :o)

    Welcome back HF. Looking forward to your insights into the coming season,usually badly researched,often biased and occasionally spot on but always fairly amusing.Leeds UTD possibly promoted and Yorkshire CCC division 1 champions,does it get any worse for a northern inferiority complex carrying southerner than that.Alas it does the Tour De France also starts in Leeds next year.Can,t understand why it,s not going through Forestgate,Stratford,Canning town or west ham can you?

  14. Dr Weevil returns!! I assumed you must have been trying to keep one step ahead of Operation Yew Tree. Now that you're back, how long will this unconvincing Nice Uncle Weevil act last? Can we expect the hormonal bitchiness to return soon?

  26. Jack, you're on parole for poor spelling! Will you never learn?

    Thanks for the welcome back 22.05, I'll try to live up to your assessment of me over the course of the season!

    21,13 I predict a 7th or 8th place finish I'm afraid. There are stronger teams in the division.
