Tim old love You can call me what you like mate - I'm not proud!
I was not having a go at you, Mike, nor anyone else, honest! Just stating my own views and feelings which are mine and mine alone. I appreciate what you say about good flowing football, no matter who is playing, but I am never going to see it, not unless it is Leeds playing it or (gulp!) receiving it; because.....like I said, I won't be watching it. <quote from Tim> "because what you saw on TV yesterday (From Man U and Chelsea in the second half) is fast paced, high tempo, pass and move football" <End Quote> Erm... I thought I made it plain? I didn't see it, and am happy I didn't see it. I think I did something much more enjoyable at the time (the washing up I think??) Unlike you, and some others, I don't necessarily love football (I quite like it), but I DO love watching Leeds United play football.

Sweety) I never mentioned anything about getting joy out of it for them ... What I DO get though is a very nice, warm feeling inside about seeing the beautiful game being played as it should be!!! Regardless of who plays it. From watching a game at Under 11 level where the lads keep their shape and (Believe it or not it's possible) PASS THE BALL TO EACH OTHER!!! To watching Guiseley play some good fast footy, obviously I hope to see it from the home team every time I go to ER ... but it's less than guaranteed these days to say the least! Right through to enjoying watching a La Ligua game on Sky. I love Leeds United (Like you sweety ... I can call you sweety can't I? Gorgeous) But I also love football WHEN IT'S PLAYED WELL. Which, as an asides gorgeous (I can call you ... nah I'll stop that bit now, I'm worrying myself!) is why I refuse to watch the genuine shower of shite that is our national team ... because what you saw on TV yesterday (From Man U and Chelsea in the second half) is fast paced, high tempo, pass and move football which the europeans cannot contend with when played right (I give you 3 semi finalists out of 4 as evidence your honour ... barring a shock at Anfield of course) with players such as: John Terry, Ashley Cole, Frank Lampard, Michael Carrick, Rio Ferdinand, Alan Smith, Wes Brown ... ALL of whom would play a slow, european based, slow tempo game that is alien to them because our national coach (and especially his predesessor) insists they play a game that they don't play week in week out...
