No I read it right.

You just fail to see the irony in your reference to the trip to Cardiff,
made even more ironic by the fact you say you had a top day out.

You also seem to think that us 'Blackwell should be given a chance' lot are
happy with mediocre football and under-achievement, which could not be
further from the truth.

THE main difference between myself and you seems to be the fact that I made
myself have realistic expectations for the last 2 seasons.  You, on the
other hand, seem to have ignored what Bates and Blackwell said and done the
classic football supporter trick of living in blissful ignorance of what
actually has happened to our club over the last 4 or 5 years.

It's a trick I use in life.. if I feel depressed/annoyed/stressed with
something I now refer back to times when I had real reason to be
depressed/stressed/annoyed and when you do that all of a sudden your current
issues fall squarely back into perspective.

When I saw Leeds last season, I wasn't looking at faults or what should be
happening, or comparing us with a team that should win the league or be in
the premiership, I was looking at the improvements over the last year or so
and thinking 'this is progress'.

On a purely footballing level I am consciously keeping my feelings and
expectations in check because I still remember the utter nightmare of having
my weekends ruined week in week out, and the very real prospect of doing a
Sheffield Weds and sinking to the depths of the 2nd division.

In that respect I may not be acting like a football fan, but I think Im
acting in a totally reasonable way.

I do have high hopes and expectations this season, and if we don't live up
to them I will be whingeing and moaning like the rest of you :)
