An excellent performance by Leeds and, whether Middlesbrough finish above us or not, we deserve our moment of (relative) glory and have, so far, played the best football in the Championship. It will go t*** up though. Its inevitable.

As far as our "hooligans" go. Leeds fans, like Newcastle fans, are passionate and, as a proper football fan who attended and, when in the UK, still attends, games home and away, that is how I like my football and, that's why, with only a modicum of success, we have started selling out the stadium again.

I have been to St James Park many times and been subject to verbal and physical attacks but, outside the 2 hours surrounding the game, would definitely not say you are all hooligans and have several good mates who support the Toon.

By the way DM, my son was at the game yesterday and, apparently, the lard eating competition was won by Perry Gutbucket, the Blackpool goalie on the way to Monkey Gland Park to keep a clean sheet.

WELL DONE to Leeds ..great win .. blooming heck our local mighty whites fans will be just starting to dare to dream ..would be fab to see them back in the big time ... Sad news as local sweet heart Witney Twix lost her lard eating crown in Yorshires second city yesterday coming second ... quote ; coming second for LUFC maybe good enough but not for me and my lard eating days are over ive been offered a job as the Sunderland FC nutritionist and im moving on and up in the world n they need all the help they can get !!!

ALSO another well done to Sunny ... the Irons UNBEATEN RUN CONTINUES and 5th in L1 this after a decent draw against an in form Blackpool side ..

Elsewhere .. not good for valiants Port Vale .. im sure things can only get better ...and Tbar Steves beloved Gills tasted defeat again ... the Udon rumour mill is rumbling that Steve is going to the UK this coming week and has had his offer to buy Gillingham FC accepted .. GOOD LUCK STEVE ... i hope they have change for a 20 quid note.

Indeed you are right, DM. Over the years, I have learned not to get too optimistic where LUFC are concerned. But this season so far is giving me cause, I am daring to dream. Not just the fact of the wins, but the manor in how they have been achieved. Last season we were a one-dimensional team, everything focused on Chris Wood. Very different now, the new signings have been a slot in so far. Solid at the back, potent in attack. I'm sure we will have our ups and downs, but I'm dreaming.
And to think that yesterday's win was without supercalerfrajalisticezgjanalioski in the team.

You clearly have a sixth sense, DM. I was just thinking about a pint of Kwak and pork pie.
Which will probably reappear at the back sometime later. 😅

LEEDS TARGET IDEGUCHI

Leeds are preparing a January move for Japan international midfielder Yosuke Ideguchi, according to the Yorkshire Evening Post.

Apparently the Championship side have already started negotiations to sign the 21-year-old, who plays for Gamba Osaka.

Rumours abound that the Leeds management need someone prepared to perform Seppuku in the Elland Rd Centre Circle in May after yet another failure to progress past the play offs :shock:

Had to google Seppuku so, good knowledge Statts!

This rumour has come about as our Director of Football promised a surprise from the Far East. Some Leeds fans were speculating about Tevez signing for Leeds, some were speculating about a takeover by Messrs Adhoc, Niggly and Pan but, personally I was hoping for a troupe of Japanese cheerleaders. The truth seems to be less exciting!

I do believe that Leeds are now top of the Championship so we may hear more about this later ;) ......
Scunnys unbeaten league run comes to an end and the misery continues for the fans of our League 2 clubs.
Macc up to 7th in the Conference thanks to an injury time winner and Harrogate thumped Southport away 4-1 to stay top of the Conference North.

UP THE IRON

TOPPA THE LEAGUE Leeds go to the Lions den .. hope they stuff millwall as they beat us in the playoffs last year .

Millwall 1 0 Leeds United
Cheltenham Town 3 1 Colchester United
Port Vale 1 1 Forest Green Rovers
Macclesfield Town 1 4 Maidstone Utd
Leeds finally lose, but remain on top by goal difference over Wolves & Cardiff.
Town rocket up the table to 21st. :D
Vale remain bottom by a point from Chesterfield & Forest Green.

The real talking point of the lower leagues is the sacking of 'Arry by Birmingham. :shock:

Funny, I thought it was the sacking of Michael by Vale :-k

MICHAEL BROWN SACKED

Port Vale CEO, Colin Garlick, stated “We are all very disappointed with the start to the season, I know Michael and his staff have worked extremely hard to try and rebuild the club and achieve the results that we were looking for but unfortunately, this has not happened.

"I would like to thank Michael for his hard work and wish him and his family all the very best for the future.”

David Kelly and Chris Morgan will take charge of first team affairs in the interim period.

The sacking period (November?) seems to have come very early this year :shock:
