A poor match that had KB singing the positives in his post match analysis. For the fans it was poor and frustrating.

Firstly Leeds just wanted to walk it into the box and when the ball did find its way out onto the wings our wide players were found wanting, Pugh's crossing was poor and Richardson showed his incapability of beating his opponent for pace and crossing at the by-line by forever having to stop and check-back onto his favoured left foot in doing so causing a multitude of moves to break down.
When the final ball was delivered into the box it was mainly overhit or crossed into a box full of Stoke defenders giving our strikers little change!.
Ormerod was lively, Deane never threatening as usual the game cried out for a change but KB left it until the 85th minute and with Stoke just wanting to defend in numbers the game was vertually over at this point.
Stoke never looked like getting a goal and for a team high up the table they looked a poor side, take away the energetic Akinbiyi and they are just a run of the mill side, and even for all his effort he never looked like scoring for the well marshalled back four looked solid and unpenetrable. The one plus note of the game was the emergence of Sean Gregan who bossed midfield.

In summing up this match, i would have taken Richardson and Deane off at half time, bringing on Ricketts up front with Spring in the middle and moveing Wright out wide, me personnally i am no manager but i feel by removing the innofective Richardson and putting a proper wide man in his place Leeds could and should have wrapped up the three points tonight. Roll on Saturday and three points at Ninian Park.

16th october 2004 Leeds 1 Preston 0

An advert beneath the east stand read "PUKKA PIES", there were a few dodgy pies on the pitch today as Leeds ground out a 1-0 victory over there Lancashire rivals.

A lot of eyes will have been on current transfer target Healy who was fleet-footed and showed some good deft touches but was found wanting in front of goal. His first effort a shot from the left hand side of the box curled yards wide without threatening.

The whites started with Ormerod and Ricketts upfront with the Saints man glad to be heading down the M1 home after a poor stint in an even poorer team. Ricketts was doing his impression of Kevin the teenager (The charachter created by Harry Enfield), not much running and a body language of the sulky teenager.

There was not really much to report on this match, Preston played the better football in the first half and all credit to them as they passed the ball round with flair however they were not able to penetrate the solid Leeds defence. Leeds played there typical "Grind out a move" football totally lacking in flair and infuriating the home fans. Chances were few and far between and even after 20 minutes it was blatently obvious that lacklustre Ricketts was going to be substituted in the second half.

After the break Leeds probed but were unable to break a resilliant Preston rearguard, tackles flew in and tempers flared. The Preston No.2 getting sent off for something or other. Sam Ellis and KB were perturbed at the Preston manager for his sharp reaction aimed at the referee to a tacle by Gregan resulting in the former PNE man getting a booking.

The 30,458 were treated to a rare goal as good work from Ormerod allowed Danny Pugh to score a sloppy if needed goal.

A great result for Leeds which was much needed as the Preston fans massed in the South stand were out and out TW*TS, Leeds fans goading the Preston fans were thrown out for swearing and antagonising the Preston fans was harsh as the stewards near us in the West stand did FCUK all about them.

Overall a sh*t match that Leeds just scrapped to deserve to win was welcome to all.

Merry Christmas,

31st october 2004 Leeds 0 Wigan Athletic 2

F***ing shite, inept,classless and bereft of ideas.

Sullivan, ok, no chance with the second goal
Kelly, shit
Carlisle, ok, tried his best
Gregan, Sh*t useless carthorse waste of brass.
Healy, tried hard only one with a football brain, 1 step ahead of anyone else in white.
Pugh, sh*t can't play a decent ball, passing was sh*t.
Richardson, sh*t....as above.
Walton, Pony and trap (Cr*p), but then he is an 18 year old defender in midfield. Lost can not pass the ball.
Kilgallan, shit tried too hard passing was very poor.
Deane, ran his socks off, but service was poor.
Johnson, out of position on the left but tried very hard shame he has to work with shit.

Absolutely shite, this was worse than Swindon at home. The problem lies in midfield. The midfield is weak and very poor, There is no creativity and nobody in a white shirt apart fom Healy can pass the ball.

Leeds adopted a 4-4-2 formation, the back line worked hard and stood firm but it was wave after wave of Wigan attack. The midfield under the leadership of Gregan who plods around like a Mark Aizlewood clone was unable to win the ball which led to untold pressure on the defence. When the ball did find its way into the middle of the park too many passes went astray.

Manager Blackwell needs to sort his troops out pretty quickly, the natives are getting restless and the excuses are wareing thin. This is the ninth home league game this season and so far the fans have had to endure 9 lacklustre games (Including the 3-0 victory over Coventry...it still was not pretty).

The goods on offer at Elland Road is easily the poorest to be shown for many a season, if i could ask for my money back i would do!!.

I have a ticket for Burnley on Wednesday night, but luckily i will miss that match as i have to be elsewhere, what a tw*t. I love going to see the mighty whites but boredom has set in and Leeds are fast turning into the Mighty Shites.

Get your Ear-muffs out Mr Blackwell, pretty soon you will be needing them, as i say the Natives are getting pretty RESTLESS.

PS

I was chatting to an ex-leeds player and i asked him if he thought that Blackwell would be at Leeds in two years time?. His reply "For Leeds sake i certainly hope not!!!!!!!!!". His body language spoke a thousand words, it was as if he thought that KB was a total cnut.

20th November 2004 Leeds 6 Queens Power Rangers 1

WOW, were do i start. I thought that Claire had some inside info as QPR scored early then Deane and Healy replied soon after.

Healy's goal was sublime as he nonchalantly managed to bounce the ball over the haplass Day.

Leeds passed the ball round with confidance and the main reason was due to the midfield playing as a well organised unit. Gregan was the pick of the midfielders,not slick or flair ridden but what he did best was the simple things, finding a white shirt and winning the ball superbly. Partnered with Oster who looked mobile the Leeds team looked hungry and intelligent.

The QPR team fifth at the start of play were poor with Stevie Wonder marshalling their useless defence.

Not taking anything away from an outstanding Leeds team, this was a game that we were not ever going to lose. Tigerish and intelligent the team played the best football seen at Elland Road all season.

Finally it happend, Lady luck shone down on 29,749 freezing cold fans, especially MAMF and Raspaz (The pork pie miester) in the west stand.

Leeds got a little bit of luck in the build up to Deane's first goal. A speculative back heel from Walton bounced of a QPR defenders leg and found the brilliant Jermaine Wright who swung over a superb cross to find Deane who fired it into the net.

After this incredible start the other goals are a bit of a blur in all ther excitement there were too many goals to remember.

The second half was poor compared to the first, whether it was a deffinate penalty or not i could not tell from our seats however Healy's penalty was poor hitting it at a perfect height for Day to dive and save.

Man of the match....???? the plaudits will undoubtedly sing the praise of Brain Deane however the endeavour and verve of Sean Gregan can not be dismissed. Jermaine Wright also was good and sad to say this but the worse player for Leeds was Danny Pugh who was annoying in the fact that every time he gained possession he opted for the long high ball down the line rather than keeping possession. The back four played well but were really tested, Sullivan only had one decent save to make.

Overall a fantastic performance and a game where the players at last earned there wage and Brian Deane the freedom of the City.

24th November 2004 Leeds 2 Watford 2

Firstly i'll try and cut out the journo speak and talk like a reet propa yorksha man.

Well it wasn't QPR part two. Leeds played towards the kop in the first half and could have had a penalty after 2 mins when Pugh went down in the box but the ref waved away the Leeds protests.

Watford got out of the blocks slowly and it looked as if they were there for the taking. Against the run of play Watford broke down the leeds right flank and shite defending from Kelly (i think) and the ball was crossed in and MAMF OF THE MATCH Bruce Dyer knocked it to the right of Sullivan who had no chance.

Watford played many balls down the left flank to try and expose the SHITE Danny Pugh at left back, he was caught out of position many times and was slow to get back, Butler had to move out of position to cover for him.

Half way through the first half Blackwell must have noticed this and switched Carlisle to left centre half position.

Parity was restored on 21 minutes when Wright hammered home from 15 yards or so.

Leeds man of the match in the first half was Gregan and Wright who bossed midfield, Gregan exchanging passes and playing it neat and simple.

The second half started with Watford the stronger and to be fair to the visitors they played a 4-4-2 system and did not come to defend or stifle the Leeds attack.

Deane was replaced on 45 minutes for Joachim who was shit, it was evident that Leeds are a poorer side without Deane in the team. Leeds looked clueless without the big man. Healy did not have a great game and 9 mins into the second half Healy balooned one over the bar from 15 yards when even Stevie Wonder would have burried it.

Leeds huffed and puffed but Watford looked the better team and seemed more up for it.

Watford's second came on 71 minutes when Gregan 8 yards from the half way line and facing no danger decided on a back pass to Sullivan which canonned off Carlisle and straight into the path of the quick and impressive Dyer who when faced with a 1 on 1 with Sullivan planted it in the bottom corner.

The equaliser came after 86 mins when a ball in the box found Carlisle who's looping header found the back of the net.

2 - 2 was a fair result Gregan who was great in the first was shit in the second. There was no real MAMF of the match tonight, Sullivan pulled off one world class save. Both full backs were shit Healy was poor but played out wide Joachim was absolutely pants, Oster was busy but it was a bit like the matches played earlier on this season but with a tad more enjoyment.

Hope you enjoyed this MAMF report boys and girls.

4th December 2004 Leeds 0 Leicester City 2

Dire, awful, terrible, woeful, dismal and dreadful are the best words that describe his game.

We created a few chances but were unable to put them away, we started off brightly, Leicester were poor but Leeds made them look better.

Blackwell is starting to get on my tits, he is a clueless cockney tw*t. We played the ball around with zip and pace for the first 20 mins then it turned into Rotherham mark two.

Healy was again out wide but was not threatening from that position, we constantly played high ball crosses into the box but the experienced centre halves of Dublin and Dabizas were not really put under pressure.

Like i said earlier in the week we do not need Gregan and Walton, it was crying out for Matthew Spring to come on and give the midfield a bit oooooomph.

He took off Oster for Richardson, Cralisle (Injured) came off for Joachim but KB will just not put Spring on,Why?.

Leicester's first goal was spawny, the ball bobbled about in the 6 yard box, Leeds kicked and hacked but could not clear the ball and it eventually spun out to Nallis (GYPO) who smashed it through a ruck of players from 10 yards. It was a shit goal that was hit well and it just went in. There was no build up play, he just was in the right place at the right time to hammer it home.....spawny tw*t.

The second goal was just a ball into the box, some leicester player got on the ball and then it hit Kelly who was in the way and the ball went into the net as Sullivan had no chance. It was another spawny sh*t goal.

The game was really boring, even from a neutrals point of view, Mamf and Raspaz were even thinking of playing eye-spy to try to keep awake. I wanted to go home after 70 mins as I was missing International paint drying on British Eurosport. Eventually we could bare it no more and shot off at 77 mins as Jamie McMaster came on for someone.

MAMF of the match was Matthes Spring for his hard work warming up on the touchline.

Sh*t players today were...

G. Kelly....sh*t.
N. Sullivan...poor kicking.
B. Deane...shit slow will not jump or win headers.....really cr*p
M. Killgallon....Timing for headers was a joke.

Referee Uriah Rennie.....gave me heartburn,was sh*t.

W***kers of the day goes to Kevin Blackwell and Sam Ellis, as they are f**king useless, with no idea how to change a game,motivate players and clueless on set play or Tactics.

It is now time for Mr Blackwell to go and for the kop to unite with cries of "Blackwell out"

Crowd.....Quiet not at there best but it was shiiiiiiiiiiiiiite.

19th December 2004 Leeds 1 Millwall 1

Regarding todays game it was not the prettiest with many balls going astray and fluency from the whites going out of the window.

Leeds were the better side, Millwall were just industrious with no flair to suit.

How Leeds lost this match i'll never know. We were not hitting the woodwork or forcing saves, there was not many clear cut chances for either sides but Leeds just could not play as a unit (KB's fault). Leeds had more possesion but there was never the telling pass.

In my opinion it was just like watching two GOOD pub teams battle it out. We took the lead just before half time, Oster produced some good work on the right cutting into the box and somehow the ball stayed within his grasp enabling him tho fire in a low shot from close range.

After the break we should have done more with the one goal advantage, however it was not to be.

Jody Morris the twat played well in the middle for the Wockney Cankers and it was he who equalised for the scum on 85th minute via the penalty spot.

An Eddy Grant lookalike came on as sub on 83 mins and the first thing he had to do was to take a throw in 10 yards from the half way line. The throw, longer than any by Vinny Jones could muster was missed by the Leeds and in the melee in the box a scummer went down and the ref pointed to the spot.

Morris scored and goaded the Leeds fans with his celebration (TWAT).

There was no real contender for MAMF of the match as no one really stood out. If i had to give it to anyone then maybe Killa just edged it. Deane was shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiite and slow and Jermaine had a poor game.

If i had to give one piece of advice to anyone after this game it would be to the Barca lads re the 28th...."Say at home and save your money".

28th December 2004 Leeds 2 Plymouth Argyle 1

I had good news and bad news today, firtsly the good news. I had the privalige to meet our good friends from LUFC world, V-Bomber,RRR,WFM,RASPAZ,Big Ted Corona, Spook and sorry if i have missed you out but it was brilliant to put names to faces.

The bad news is that i am unable to report on the final two goals that came late on in the match due to having to leave on 86 minutes.

It was the highest crowd of the season at ER 34,496 boosted by the fact that the LUWorld crew were present.

It was a typical home game, frustrating to say the least. Leeds first attack on goal came on 18 mins when Brian Deane headed straight at the PA goalie but it would not have counted as he was ruled offside.

PA played some good football and there No 10 Bjarni Gudjohnnson was very lively in midfield. The PA fans were quite vaciferous?, and the kop was quite at times.

The second half saw Joachim replace the again ineffective Deane and United started the brightest. Leeds went 1-0 up after some great play down the right by Richardson(I think) and he passed it to Healy who squared the ball accrosss the box and Gilbert at the far post turned it in past his own keeper.

So i am not wrong in my assumption i asked Big Ted and Raspaz if they thought that PA were the best team of which we all agreed. PA played the ball around better than us and if they had had better strikers up front could have won the game.

It was a hard day at the office and what mattered most was the three points. Plymouth will go away feeling hard done by, but a poor Leeds got the victory that was all important. It is starting to look like that Lady Luck has finally got her White shirt out of the wash and is wairing it with pride.

Due to the poor performance it is YET AGAIN hard to nominate a MAMF of the match i will plump for David Healy due to the fact that he got the winning
goal,but Killgallen and Butler ran him a close second.

Gregan was quiet, Joachim nothing special, Richardson good and poor old Matthew Spring was relegated to the subs bench.

It's Crewe next, lets just hope that another 3 points come our way.

MAMF

1st January 2005 Leeds 0 Crewe Alexandra 2

oh dear oh dear oh dear, what can i say, for those of you who read the MAMF report regularly, yours truly has regularly poored scorn on the boys in white. I am sorry to say but i am going to mirror passed coments again after todays poor showing.

We had KB saying in his programme notes, "It's great to go into 2005 with a smile on our face" well their were not many smiles on the crowd leaving Elland Road in droves when KB brought on Ricketts with 10 mins to go.

After a shite performance in the last game KB stuck with the same team albeit starting with debutant Nathan Blake instead of Deano. The pitch was a quagmire and not helped by many torrential downpours throughout the game.

In the opening ten minutes LUFC started the brightest. Crewe came with a game plan and it was evidant to see, Play neat football but keep many men behind the ball. Once they went one-up from a corner Dean Ashton lashed it in when maybe Killa could have done better. From then on it was a sea of Red shirts stifling our attacks.

The pitch was cutting up easily due to the rain. We had plenty of half chances but the Crewe keeper Ince had a great game and was certainly their saviour.

Again our team were bereft of ideas, there was no spontaneity or cohesion. At 2-0 down what did KB do to change the gameplan.....he brings on Simon Walton for Fraser Richardson who was having a reasonable game even though he is played out of position.

Gary Kelly was substituted late on for Ricketts and Mathew Spring was not even on the bench. Our best player by a mile was Aaron Lennon who ran at players and looked like our only source of inspiration.

The Crewe fans in the south east corner were not the noiseist of visiting fans but the Kop was quiet....i wonder why?.

We could have won this game as Crewe only really had a couple of chances and managed to take them both. If we had taken our half chances it would have been a differant kettle of fish, but we can not finish teams off at home, after all Crewe have one of the worse defensive records in the division. Basically our midfield is shit...especially when Gregan plays alongside Jermaine Wright, KB has to drop one of them and give Springy a go, but why not????, because KB is a clueless cnut.

To add insult to injury captain Butler was sent off for his second bookable offence.

MARKS OUT OF TEN.

Sullivan......not much to do, kicking still poor.4/10
Kelly.....Shit...................0/10
Butler.........reasonable.......3/10
Killgallen.....reasonable.......3/10
Richardson.....good out of position....5/10
Gregan.........ineffective/slow/shit.....2/10
Wright........very poor.....1/10
Pugh..........drifted......3/10
Lennon........tried hard.......7/10
Blake.........naff............2/10
Healy........passing poor,out of position......1/10

Gylfi Einarsson......came on as a sub, talks a good game ,looks like Ken De Mange but worse only had 20 mins but he did not look this business.

All in all the team are playing poorly with no creativity and too many players playing out of position. Our set pieces are poor we dont get men in the box(Cos Healy is out wide) we can't break teams down and this is all down to the manager. For a highly decorated manager he lacks nouse and tactical knowledge talks a lot of bollocks and does my head in. He dare not drop players (Gregan) he won't play players (Spring)plays players out of position(Richardson).

15th January 2005 Leeds 1 Cardiff City 1

Where do i start, another poor game and more apologies from myself for writing about another poor show from the boys in white.

Leeds kicked off playing unusually towards the kop end and started quite brightly. Healy should have scored in the first ten minutes when he cut in from the left and curled a shot towards Tony Warners' left but the scum keeper produced a brilliant save that us in the west stand lower thought had gone in.

Leeds deservedly took the lead on 14 minutes with good work out on the right flank with Healy and Walton exchanging passes and the youngster hit a superb shot from the corner of the box.

Leeds more or less bossed the first half with the welsh twats rarely threatening Neil Sullivan, who's kicking was a lot better than usual.

In injury time welsh twats nearly drew level with a greta shot from Junichi (ichifanny) Inamoto hitting a 20 yard thunderbolt onto the Leeds crossbar and it bounced to safety.

The second half was a different kettle of fish, Leeds were shight and only produced one notable shot which again came from Walton.

welshis were the better team in the second half as Leeds midfield went awol as Kavanagh and Inamoto pulled the strigs. Leeds tried but failed too often. The midfield was none existant with Jammo Wright again being shit and i hardly noticed Pugh in there as Crapwell started with Joachim on the left in a 4 5 1 formation.

Healy was ok in the middle of the front line, he went sniffing for the ball but was fed peanuts from the monkeys behind him.

Killgallen and Butler were also rarely troubled by scum2. Aaron Lennon had a quiet game and was replaced by Carlisle on 57 mins (Lennon had a stomach trouble...probably ghandi's revenge).

Joachim was poor as every high ball was pumped out to the diminutive striker(Why use a big word when a diminutive will do?).

Jermaine Wright was shit and Crapwell decided on 85 mins to bring.....wait for it......Mathew Spring on, who's first contribution was a BRILLIANT 40 yard crossfield ball to set up an attack, YES AN ATTACK.

Some creativity and that useless twat Crapwell waits until 85 sodding mins to bring him on.

The atmosphere in the final 20 mins was tense and i felt that if scum2 had gone ahead then the crowd would have bayed for crapwells blood.

Trialist Leandre Griffit did not get a sniff (Only 3 weeks left of his trial.......what is the fu**ing point of him being here if he is not going to play???????).

Einarsson was not even on the bench and Ricketts did not come off thank god.

Who knows what is going on in Crapwell's head for we do not have a clue.

It was a shite second half after a bright first half.....We should have won as scum 2 were nothing brilliant but yet again we get bullied at home by a shite bottem 10 team that we can not beat, the crowd were quietish and there was no crowd trouble inside the ground.

The funniest moment of the match was when the old bill in riot gear came to surround the scum2 fans for which they started singing "Its just like watching the bill, its just like watching the bill"

All in all sorry to say another poor match, for which i wanted to leave at half time as i was missing international paint drying on sky sports 5.

MAMF

MAMF of the match????????????? can't really think of one..Healy ran a lot. I will give it to the fat coloured lady at the tea bar as she had a lot of work to do today.

29th January 2005 Leeds 1 Brighton 1

What a f**king useless c**t that tw*t Blackwell has made himself look in front of his new boss.

Leeds played 4-3-3 with Fraser again at left-back, Wright was omitted from the squad due to his lass wearing the pants as she hates Leeds and wants to up root back home. So in came Einarrson which is Icelandic for (Cr*p footballer).

The midfield was Lennon, Gregan, Ein'n and Walton.

Upfront Deane and Healy.

Back four of Fraser, Kelly,Carlisle and Butler which is English for Slow.

They played 4 4 3 and for the first 30 minutes they steam rollered Brighton who were poor to say the least and a 4-0 victory looked the more likelier outcome.

The magic moment came on 43 minutes when Carlisle went in the box and at the second attempt hit the ball into the net which was music to MAMF's ears as i had backed him at 16-1 to be first scorer......£17 come to papa.

The second half was like deja vu of the Cardiff match with Leeds sitting back and letting Brighton to come at us.

Brighton could have equalised when a cross into the box caught Sulli on the hop and the Keeper managed to push the swerving ball away to safety.

As the game wore on the crowd became more and more frustrated as even we could see that Leeds were beginning to get over run as Brighton brought on two subs which changed the game tactically in their favour.

On a lighter note, because of Brighton's dark kit it clashed with the referee so in the second half the officials wore yellow and the Brighton keeper donned a PINK jersey which brought great chants from the kop of "Who's the gay boy in the pink".

Lennon up to being taken off was one of Leeds' best players, Einnarsson was full of running but to be honest did absolutlety f**k all to change the course of the game. If he was a loan player he could go back for me after a month. His only saving grace is that he is new to the English game and is not yet up to speed with things, but i never saw one flash of brilliance from him. He is nothing better than what we already have.

Walton was the other poor workhorse in the middle and at one point mid-way through the first half looked slow when chasing a through ball. This in my opinion was one of his poorest games in a Leeds shirt.

As the crowd grew listless the game cried out for a change however Dumb and Dumberer just shouted orders from bench but it did f**k-all. Healy was poor and judging by his body language it suggested that he was well and truly pi**ed off at having to play in an unorthodox position, again this is the most apathetic game i have seen him play.

So 70 odd minutes into the game Dumb and Dumberer decide to make a change. Springy was stripped off and the innefective Einnarsson came over to the touchline before the sub-board was produced to come off the pitch. Like a rabbit caught in headlights he was as suprised as we were, to see that Aaron Lennon was being subbed??????.

I can't remember much about the Brighton goal, it was a cross into the box and the header was just beyond Sulli.

Brighton deserved the goal and on balance overall probably just deserved the point for all there hard work and endeavour, however Leeds for all the posession that they had should have killed the visitors off. We would have done if there keeper had not produced a great save from GARY KELLY!!!.

With the clock wittling down The pillock twins brought on Bakke with 3 mins to go for Einn'n his second contribution a crude lunge which nearly earned a straight red.

On summing up, we (MAMF,BIG TED,RASPER and WILL YOUNG) were totally f**ked off with the tactically ineptitude of the the f**kwit brothers. With the game slowly slipping away it was BLATENTLY EVIDANT that changes were needed. Einnarsson and Walton were garbage yet they pursisted with them too late then had the ordasity to take off Lennon who was our only pace and a good outlet for attack.

The MAMF of the match, only by a slim margin from Clarke Carlisle was the ubiquitas Sean Gregan who was no frills and play it simple to keep possession wins this weeks MAMF of the match.

So incensed at what we had witnessed i rung up Radio Aire to vent my frustaration however having tod Tim White what i thought of KB and that it was time to go, he had not the same judgement as me our the fans that are sat around me in the West Stand.

I am sick to death of pandering twats such as Tim White (Radio Aire) and Paul Dews (Y.E.P) saying because they dare not say anything else apart from being yes men to LUFC. Saying that he has done a great job at ER and that we are on 41 points.....B***ocks we would have been on 50 points if it was not for these c**ts. He can't complain at lack of perssonel when he won't even play Spring,Ricketts,Griffit. They are a pair of cluless c**ts and this Morley white has had enough.....the cocks are starting to crow.

Marks out of ten.

Sulliven........6...not at fault and one wonder save.
Kelly...........6...played well, distribution still poor.
Richardson......6...Out of position.
Butler..........5...Too slow not as good as Killa and Carlisle.
Cralisle........7...Ok.

12th February 2005 Leeds 3 Reading 1

At last i can write something positive about the mighty whites, a brilliant display not seen since the 6 - 1 demolition of QPR back in November.

Crapwell started with Healy again on the left in the 4-3-3 formation that he favours. The only change was Hulse coming in for Deane to make his debut up front. Otherwise it was the same team that beat Burnley last week.

Reading started the most spritefully and passed the ball well, for the first 15 minutes Leeds were not in the game. Then on 17 minutes we sprung into life. David Healy had Leeds' first shot on 17 mins with the ball going only inches wide. Then on 25 mins Kelly got in a great cross on the right and Hulse's header came back off the bar.

Leeds were camped in the Reading half and looked superb,the best match seen at Elland Road for a long while. Aaron Lennon should have put us 1 - 0 up on 25 mins but he hit his shot straight at Marcus Hahnemann when through on goal with only the keeper to beat.

The goal eventually came on 38 mins with Healy challenged by two defenders burst through strongly into the box and placed it wide of the keeper. It was a great goal and one that was to turn out to be the worse goal of the day!!!.

The way that we were playing you would have thought that another 6 - 1 was on the cards. Everyone bar Gyllfi were playing great.

Despite scoring two goals in the second half it was a poor half in comparison to the first.

On 56 mins Gregan picked the ball up in the centre and hit a beauty of a pass out wide on the left to Healy, Healy cut in and squared it to Rob Hulse just on the right side edge of the box, the debutant turned and beat his man and hit an unstoppable shot into the net.

Hulse's second was probabley Leeds' goal of the season so far. He was put clear and he ran through on goal hit another rocket shot into the top corner.

3 - 0 it was just like watching Brazil, a totally differant team to the ones that have played at home this season.

I did not see Owusu's goal as it came just as we were walking out but my mate Mick says it was a back heeler with shit static defending again.

For the second week in a row MAMF picked the first goal scorer in Healy and won £5, Will Young £10 on Healy....Rasp won Jack Sh*t.

MARKS OUT OF TEN

Sullivan.....7 played well but kicking was sh*t.
Kelly........6 Reasonable
Gray.........7 Played well used his experiance, better l/b than Pugh.
Butler.......6 Reasonable
Carlisle.....6 Reasonable
Wright.......7 One of his better games
Gregan.......7 Held things together, great ball to set up the 2nd goal
Einnarrson...0 Shite, runs around not knowing what to do, does not help the team by creating anything can not see any purpose for him in the team, he is just like one of those sh*t players at school who just get in the way and annoy people, worse than Jacob Burns and not fit to lace JB's boots.
Lennon.......6 Full of running but lacks experiance.
Healy........7 Clever, runs around all day trying to make things happen.
Hulse........7 2 Great goals, mobile and goes looking for the ball, not afraid to shoot.

26th Febuary 2005 Leeds 2 West Ham 1

Well Glen in Australia mate, you were right. Blackwell started with Gregan Walton and Derry in the midfield with yet again a 4-3-3 formation. The back four were Kelly,Butler,Killa and Gray with Hulse, Lennon and Healy up front.

Leeds playing to the south stand controlled the first half and chances were few and far between. The little cockney sparrows played with Sheringham and Harewood upfront. .
The second half was five minutes old when Lennon broke down the right wing and hit a great ball into the box and from a tight angle Rob Hulse hit a great volley into the back of the net to put us 1 -0 up.

So called fat ba****d Sean Gregan was again having a great game pulling the strings in midfield. He sprayed the ball about played it neat, finding a white shirt time and time again and when needed was back helping to defend. Home debutant Sean "Mullett" Derry had a great opening twenty minutes in the first half but from then on began to fade a little. I am not a Sean Derry fan and he deffinately ain't no Patrick Viera but what he brings to the midfield is someone who is willing to get stuck in where it hurts and he is a trier give him time he will be a better addition than the iceman Einnarsson.

Blackwell's 4-3-3 was causing use some concern as, as the game wore on West Ham began to take hold of the game and our midfield was becoming overrun. A ball was pumped up the line into the Leeds box and the 49 y/o Sheringham was on hand to nod the ball back to Williams who hit the ball from the edge of the box into the net, twas a good goal it was.
The game was becoming tense and a great scrap ensued just on the edge of the Leeds penalty area.

Blackwell finally made a change who took off Walton and brought on Pugh to help out Gray who was not being given any cover on the left.
On 86 minutes Leeds got the winner that they probably just deserved overall, Healy found the onrushing Mullitt who picked up the ball whilst running into the box, skipped passed Repka and crashed a superb right footed shot passed the helpless Byewater in the Hammers net to send the 34,115 crowd mad.

The MAMF of the match in my opinion was a toss up between Gregan who was very good, but i think just edging it i would give it to Killa who had the pacey and strong Harewood in his pocket all the match.

12th March 2005 Leeds 1 Gillingham 1

"Sh*t, f**king clueless b***ards the lot of them in white shirts".

Against a sh*t team (on paper) a match that HONESTLY resembled a Sunday league pub game, Leeds carved out only a few chances. Only four of which were on target.

It was the fourteenth minute before we had our first attempt, a Hulse header which flew inches over the bar.

Gillingham brought a reasonable following seated in the south east corner. They would have been pleased with their teams effort today, certainley not the greatest footballing team in the division but they played neat passes and tried hard to make a good game of it. Not trying to flood the midfield they played an open 4-4-2 and were a hard working honest bunch trying there upmost to get a result against us and they would have gone home downbeat at not taking all three points of which the Kent side certainley deserved.

The KOP were at their best today unlike the players and they had a spell in which they sang "we are the champions, champions of Euope", which went on for ages, which was great to hear.

We played the usual 4-3-3 with Jermaine Wright coming in for the injured Sean Derry. The pattern of our play was poor and the crowd were getting restless from early on in the game.

Gillingham did not try to ruin the game by playing defensive, but all there hard work was what caused Leeds problems as we were unable to carve out many chances. Our play pattern was absolute shight and it was GREAT to hear fellow supporters berating the f**king useless c**t of a manager Kevin Blackwell (alias Fabio Crapello).

In the 43rd minute Gillingham went in front, Kelly conceded a free kick which looked harsh front our seats. The referee was the worst one to be seen at ER all season. The ball was played to Chris Hope who hit a shot from 20 yards out which took a wicked delection giving Sulli no chance.

A minute later Mamady Sidibe had another chance but a great save from Sulli prevented us going in at the break 0-2 down.

Leeds were booed off the pitch by a huge majority of the home fans disconsolate at what they had witnessed.

It was pretty much deja vu (not sure of spellin) in the second half, inept and bereft of ideas the crowd became more and more listless at the blatent load of cr*p on view.

Fabio Crapello finally decided to make a substitution on 56 mins when the ever cr*p KELLY was replaced much to the crowds pleasure by Fraser Richardson, who had a pretty good game looking far better, inventive and mobile than Kelly.

Next to come on was Marlon Dingle...sorry King for ultra sh*t Jermaine Wright (Hardly noticed him all game). Within a few minutes of coming on i think it was him who wipt a ball into the mix and a balls up between their keeper and centre half allowed Hulse to nip in a score a scrappy goal on 81 mins. A goal that i actually missed for f**king about on my mobile phone with a Grimsby white(lass) in front....since seen it on sky sports.

The highlight of the second half had to be the confrontation between Darius Henderson and Mickey Gray, for some reason as the ball was going dead in front of the Leeds dug-out Henderson tried to throttle Gray, why...who knows. Gray retaliated by trying to twat the Kent git thus causing WW3 to break out and a fight between both sets of players and officials was a joy to be hold.

The referee Mark Cowburn who was f**king useless throughout and totally one sided in the Gills favour shit himself as what to do next, he stould in the middle of the linesman with his arms folded and waited for the nearby fourth official to intervene. Resulting in both players getting sent off, Gray will now be band for 3 games.

In Blackwells useual tactical wisdom to win the game he did and would not bring on Seth Johnson to add some impetus to the laklustre midfield instead deciding to bring on Deane for Hulse in the closing minute of the game.

MAMF of the match was probably Hulse for his continued endeavour and bravery in trying to help the cause. Healy was out of the game for large parts but playing out wide it does not take a wise man to see why he is so pissed off.

In closing it is incredible that most fans are still gloryfying Blackwell. Because he had little to work with they are saying he is a martyr and has done a fantastic job, when all along he has been a spwawny tw*t that when ever Leeds have played sh*t and his tactics ineffective he has always had a great excuse to get out of the mire. The papers over the next few days will be saying how one sided and blind referee Cowburn was thus masking the truth that Blackwell blew it by playing 4-3-3. Yet he still will insist in playing the EVERSH*T kelly instead of Richardson, Healy who is NOT interested and wasted out on the left and using Lennon as a right-side attacking striker/winger and not having the personel clever enough to get the ball to him in space. He has been able to bring in Gregan,Derry and Ein'n (Gregan being the cleverest) and yet still have a midfield inept and devoid of idea to bring verve and creativity to the team.

All these points lead to a man whose team have struggled at home against poor oposition and can not score wether it is a corner or a set - peace, a team who score through only working hard in a division that includes 16 or so shit teams (literally you should see the poor quality of the visitors). And the man has done a good job!, bo**ocks my lerned friends, but a blind monkey with the kudos, fans and history of this great club behind them could have done an equal job as to what this tw*t is doing to us.

Again because of what we have gone through over the last 2-3 years means that Cr*pwell can hide behind the empathy that clouds us, he is a lucky man, that is in a win-win situation, if he is ousted then the parochial deluded Blackwell fan club will be saying "poor bloke he had nothing to work with", total bo**ocks....the guy is out of his depth and is deluding those fans that are fickler than fickle.

Rant over.

23rd April 2005 Leeds 1 Ipswich Town 1

Leeds United 1 Ipswich Town 1

It was a game of two halves today, the first half which contained the goals was ok'ish to watch but frustrating for both sets of fans.

Leeds started with Spring and Gyllfi in midfield along with Sean Gregan. We were not sure which formation that Leeds were playing, was it 4-4-2 with Hulse and Moore up front or was it 4-3-3 with Moore out on the wing?. Killa partnered Carlisle at the back support by Grey and Kelly at full back.

The visitors played some neat football and went ahead on 11 mins when Kuqi went through a static defence to slot a shot passed Sulli's right.

More or less straight from the kick off the ball found Frazer on the right who turned and crosssed with his left foot to find Mathew Spring with a pin point cross to the give the whites parity.

The rest of the the first half was a tad dull for the 29,607 crowd and we were glad for half time and a pint of the brown-stuff. For us in the west stand in the shade it was fuppin freezin, were as the east standers looked warm in the sun.

Rob Hulse went close just after the break and i don't know what Blackwell said to the players but a different side came out for the second half.

Ipswich tried hard but i don't thtink that they would have beaten us even if we had played for another three hours. Chances went begging for both sides and i think a 1-1 draw was probably a fair result for both sides.

Gyllfi went off on 67 mins in an enforced change as he looked as if he was injured. He was replaced by Walton???, a defender for a midfielder....?????, but he soon went off as he was injured two minutes later. The ineffective Wright came on and did very little.

The game was crying out for Lennon's pace to take on old man Unsworth but KB chose not to bring him on, instead of bringing on MARLON KING???, for Frazer on 89 mins. (why does KB bring on a sub on 89 mins??).

I guess that Lennon did not play due to him needing to be injury free for his imminent move away from ER in the summer.

Overall Leeds played a tenacious game in the second half and could have won it near the end when Hulses powerfull shot went inches wide.

In summing up Leeds with Lennon and somebody decent up front with Husle would have beaten Ipswich today, Bent was quiet out on the wing as he was starved of the ball and on this performance would struggle in the prem.

Sullivan.......7/10 had little to do
Kelly..........5/10 defended ok but distrubution (high balls were shit
Carlisle......7/10 worked his nuts off
Killa...........8/10 great tackles worked nuts off too
Grey .........8/10 great tackles worked nuts off too
Gregan ......8/10 tried hard, played it simple
Spring........7/10 ok but made the easy things look difficult
Einn'n ......6/10 tried but full of hot air.....may come good, given time
Frazer.......7/10 tried hard...lacked match fitness
Moore......1/10 Not fit to lace Ian Baird's boots
Hulse........8/10 ran his knackers of unlucky not to score

The MAMF of the match would probably be a tie between Hulse and Grey who worked the bits off all day, Killa ran them close as his tackles were sublime

BEST COMEDY MOMENT

Standing outside the disabled entrance was a wheelchair bound Ipswich disabled fan and his carer. Allan "Sniffer" Clarke came out from the disabled entrance and shook the hand of the wheelchaired Ipswich fan.

The look on their faces was a treat as Sniffer walked off...the look was of "Who the fup was that?.

I went over and asked the Town fans if they knew who he was.......they did not have a CLUE.

8th May 2005 Leeds 0 Rotherham 0

Leeds looked as if they played 4-4-2 with Hulse upfront with Ian Moore and it was Hulse who flicked the ball over his marker and was through on goal and his low shot to the keeper's right just shaved the post and went wide.

We all thought that it was going to be one-way traffic against the Millers but to be honest the rest of the first half was a dull-lacklustre affair, and it was Rotherham who played the better football passing it about neatly in triangles at times. Our midfield consisting of Lennon on the right with Wright and Spring in the middle and Marlon King playing on the left, were as inept as inept can be. Master tactician Blackwell later in the game swapped over King and Lennon to try to open things up but to no avail.

Moore ran about but his close control wa shit and did very little, Blackwell's other star-signing Marlon King was also very poor with bad ball after bad ball letting him down, i hate to say that he was shit because he maybe suffering from a lack of confidance, but his performance was poor and if on the evidance shown today he did very little to impress anyone.
The highlight of the first half was a cute little honey that sat in front of us, hubba-hubba.

At half time the catering staff told us that they had run out of Pukka-pies due to someone over indulging in them.....i found out who it was it was the bloke in the white shirt.

My lad Harry enjoyed the first half as his face suggests.

It pi**ed it down in the second half and Leeds tried to break down Rotherham but failed, Leeds put in plenty of effort. Again Hulse hit the post again after a good shot, it was beginning to look a little like deja vu of the Millmoor match earlier on in the year when Leeds had all the main chances but were unable to convert any.

Both sets of fans were in good spirits and the Rotherham fans were taking the pi** out of our poor performance on show by singing "Premiership, your havin a laugh" and the kop replied brilliantly with "Championship, your havin a laugh".

Most of the crowd were shouting for Lucas but the first substitution was Frazer coming on for King who had also hit the post in the second half. In true Blackwell fasion in a match that meant "F**K ALL", he eventually brought Lucas on in the 86th minute and the first time that he was called into play he was dumped on his arse by his attacker who passed the ball to Maclaren (i think) he put the ball away only for the linesman on our side rule it out for off side.

The linesman who was on our side in the west stand was pants all game and thank f**k he was shit to rule out the one play that mattered.

Probably Aaron Lennon was MAMF of the match, also having a good game was Killa in defence who is one of the best defenders on the floor, give him a 50/50 ball on the deck and the attacker comes out the loser. Danny Pugh had a steady game as did Sulli who prodeuced a brilliant save late on but from our vantage point we thought that if he had not got a hand to it, it would have hit thebar and gone over as the ball was rising.
