I’ve just been looking at our recent stats against Leeds. We haven’t won many but most of our recent wins have come on a Tuesday. Let’s hope we can repeat that this week.
Leeds

I hope you are right Kathryn as the day is also my 60th birthday. Be nice to celebrate with a win then have a few drinks after in a very happy mood.
You probably will do. We're hopeless. Have been throughout 2018 to be honest. A lot of players also missing through injury tomorrow. That, together with our now recognised lack of both ability and fight, means you'll have to be pretty bad not to beat us.

Just get plenty of men behind the ball and hit us on the break - that should do it for you (unfortunately)
Thanks for the tip. I'll pass it on to our Manager (sorry, Head Coach). I wouldn't say we are great at defending, and we're not exactly speedy on the counter-attack either. But I appreciate the advice. Hope springs eternal and all that, eh?
Happy Birthday Prof... Have a great day !
Deflated by past couple of weeks. Cannot be arsed.
OP
Another Tuesday night win against Leeds. Maybe the halftime interview with Jon Parkin inspired the team second half, talking about the 6-4 win.

I was surprised just how crap Leeds were . Thought with 3500 loud fans behind them they would have at least shown some fight but they seemed a bunch of spineless fanny merchants . The centre half's feigned head injury for the second goal was just embarrassing . I suspect their fans will have been livid at the players .

I have always found Leeds fans to a load of deluded fucking inbreds. The players might have different names but they are all related. The fans sing that they are champions of europe - when the fuck did Leeds ever win the European Cup or the Champions League? Bunch of arseholes.
I suspect there is a certain sense of irony in their chant
Irony, they are from yarkshire they dont know the meaning of the word, in fact they dont know the meaning of many words, exept maybe Ferret and Trousers !!
Made me laugh did that.
You shouldn't have been surprised. Prior to last night's fixture, only Burton and Sunderland had worse records than us in 2018. These players don't show fight. They have rarely responded to our support all season. Pontus Jansson has form when it comes to lying down with real or imaginary injuries. Many of our fans were indeed livid with our players. Not for the first time this season. And rightly so, in my opinion.
Thanks for that intelligent post. Are all your posts to this same high standard? You must be a real boon to this forum.
I suspect you are right. The grievance from 1975 was justified originally, but then became a "jokey", ironic chant. Of course we are aware we were never "Champions of Europe", but we certainly think we should have been in that particular year. I think that most people who saw the game back then, or who have seen footage later, would agree. Personally, think the "chant" is well-past it's use-by date and should have been consigned to the rubbish bin of history many years ago. Which is why I never chant it.
Oh dear. Another intelligent post.
Bloody hell its only meant as a bit of Lancashire v Yorkshire banter stop taking everything so personally.
