Leeds play Blackburn in The Carling Cup tonight (should have just kicked off as I type). Have very mixed feelings about this game, while I always like to see Leeds win games, especially against stronger teams (like The Mighty Blackburn Rovers) however I think a long cup run would be detrimental for Leeds’ season.
Teams who have been chasing promotion in the past and also had successful cup runs have ended up not being promoted ( Sunderland in 2003/4 and Sheffield United in numerous seasons are good examples). Some Leeds players are also carrying injuries and although can just about manage their league games, I think a cup game could flare up any potential problems.
Chelsea can keep their Mickey Mouse Cup for all I care
Therefore I am pleased to see that Leeds manager Kevin Blackwell has fielded a somewhat weaker team for this game.
Anyway, good luck to Leeds, hope you can do the best with the team you have fielded. Not too bothered of the result though, would far rather beat Reading on Saturday, a game which I will be going to!

It's not every day that Leeds will lose a game of football, yet I'll be able to take many positives from it.
While it was pretty gutting to concede a fourth goal, especially so close to full time, it should never be forgotten...
Leeds were playing the greatest team in the country right now.

You know what I was saying about Leeds fans going to extreme lengths, in order to find out how a potential new player signing is doing...
... - Tracking Or Spying?
This is why I love Leeds fans - they're fucking nuts! As I mentioned the other day, Leeds United have been trying to sign a Spanish player, Rodrigo, for a rather hefty sum of dough. Naturally, our fans are desperate for this to all become official. Such is the craving for updates on Rodrigo's location, one supporter...
