I’m in a much better mood this evening than I was on Tuesday. Leeds United have beaten The Hornets AKA Watford!
LUFC – The ultimate force in sending Hornets down
Watford are in some real trouble, they have had a poor, poor season and may well get relegated to League One at the end of the season.
Leeds managed to score two greats goals from the super striker Rob Hulse who makes David Healy (a past favourite of mine) play like an old woman (he’s still a great player). Watford did manage to equalise but Clarke Carlisle grabbed the winner!
Sha La La La La La – Carlisle!!!
Well done Leeds, more of the same please. I still think manager Kevin Blackwell has taken us as far as he can. Leeds need to get a replacement at the end of the season.
So, the wait is finally over for those who give a damn, Prince Charles will marry Camilla Parker Bowles tomorrow. The media is describing how this is a wonderful relationship that spanned 20 years…
I’m sorry, wasn’t Old Charlie seeing the late Princess Diana during that period? Why is this relationship being applauded? He was cheating on Diana, the only member of The Royal Family, alongside Prince William to ever do anything worthwhile for people.
I’m sorry, but out of principal I will not be watching that wedding, I’m sure I won’t be the only person avoiding BBC1 at noon tomorrow. This said millions of people will watch Camilla all across the land. Not only is she getting married but she is taking part in The Grand National tomorrow afternoon.
It’s going to be a rush for her to get from Windsor Castle to Aintree in a short space of time, but she’s a fit beast and the blacksmith has made a good set of shoes for her.
Hehehehe – bit of anti-Royal fun. Hundreds of years ago that would be classed as treason and I’d have my head cut off – with scissors!
You may well have noticed that in the last few weeks I introduced advertising banners onto Sparkster.net. This was an idea of mine in a hope to generate some extra money from my website. I got some, but after a lot of thinking I came to the conclusion that for the amount being generated I would far rather have Sparkster.net ad free. I’m sure you all feel the same way. Of course, if you love Sparkster.net and want to send me money that can always be arranged! :o)
I’ve been annoyed for most of the day following the Leeds game yesterday. It is there worst defeat in almost a year and their worst home defeat since February 2002 when they lost 2-0 to Liverpool – although the squad then cost in excess of £80mill, not under £2mill like yesterday!
Someone give this to the Leeds manager!
I woke up at 2am last night and couldn’t get back to sleep for an hour or so as I couldn’t stop thinking about it the Leeds game! The sound of a truck somewhere up the road didn’t help either! Its driver must have thought it would be funny to keep letting the signal/horn off in the middle of the night! Cheers for that, well done on observing the road signs about taking a break but next time sleep in a service station and don’t use the horn as a pillow!
I have been asked by my friend Dan (who writes for this website) to mention a fellow blog site RichardHerring.com. Richard Herring is a comedian and has written numerous for numerous television shows. He writes some very extensive blog entries on his website – puts this one to shame really! If you have a spare hour or so a day (ok I’m joking it’s not really THAT long) check his site out.
Apologies for those of you who don’t like football or Leeds United, I know I have been focusing on this topic a lot recently. I’ll get my thinking cap on and come up with some new, original material tomorrow. I’m off to the cinema in the evening so you can look forward to one of my in depth, well written reviews… ok a few lines on what I thought of it plus a synopsis… it’s better than what Jonathan Ross does!!
For fucks sake! There’s about five minutes left of the Leeds game but there is absolutely no way of even getting a draw. Sheffield United are winning 4-0. This could well be the first nail in manager Kevin Blackwell’s coffin…
This is a terrible result, especially against local rivals. The last 4 games have all been draws, 3 of the games Leeds should have won easily. The latest string of results has been totally unacceptable.
New chairman Ken Bates will be looking for promotion next season. If Blackwell stays as manager for the 2005/6 season and does not sort Leeds out it is more likely to end up in relegation.
Blackwell is making obvious mistakes…
#1 He still refuses to play David Healy, quite possibly the best striker in the team as a striker. How can he play at his full potential in midfield? Healy will no doubt hand in a transfer request if this continues…
#2 Blackwell refuses to use the traditional 4-4-2 formation even though his other tried and tested formation of 4-4-3 has failed.
#3 Blackwell picks players who are totally crap and do not deserve to wear the white shirt (Jermaine Wright) but leaves out key players (like Sean Gregan this evening). When he finally realises his mistake and makes a substitution it’s too late.
Wish I didn’t make this now…
Chairman Ken Bates is putting the season ticket prices up by over 100%. This has obviously received a lot of criticism from fans. Bates will understand the fans anger and although he won’t change the ticket prices, he will demand success. If this continues I can easily see a new manager at Elland Road next season.
Grrrrrrrrrr!!!! Stupid, Stupid Leeds. Stupid, Stupid Leeds. Stupid, Stupid Leeds United!
Why oh why can’t Leeds EVER beat Sheffield United? Its half time at Elland Road and Leeds are LOSING 2-0, it could have been by more.
This curse with Sheffield United is really starting to piss me off. Leeds fans will know all too well that they lost to Sheffield United earlier on in the season as well as twice in the 2002/3 season in both the Carling Cup and FA Cup.
Whether Leeds won, drew or lost this game they wouldn’t go up or down, but it’s all about pride. It seems the Leeds players don’t seem to want to be ‘The Pride of Yorkshire’ as much as the fans do. Although to be fair they did have some very good moments, just got caught out twice.
Anyway, another 45 minutes to go, we could still win 3-2! I think we need to call Delia Smith in for half time though…
