Absolutely agree with that Dave. It's a long time I've felt an affinity for players like I've felt for this lot, even though a lot of them of are of limited ability and sometimes do my head in (mentioning no names but you know who you are Jonathan Douglas). I would say they have all played with a pride and committment that few of the over paid wankers who put us in the mess we found ourselves in at the begining of the season showed. When you think that Danny Mills got nearly a quarter of a million pounds having his contract paid up in full four years after he last played for us when we went into administration, whilst those on our books had been paid nothing since June and the likes of Prutton and others put all the hard work into pre-season unpaid and without knowing for certain whether or not there was going to be a Leeds United to play for, they deserve all the credit we can give them. For all the poor football we have seen at times and all the frustrations when they didn't win when they should have it's been the most enjoyable season I've had at Elland Road in years, us against the world and fuck 'em all. Magic! I'm looking forward to singing my little heart out on Thursday and win, lose or draw, Wembley visit or not, I'll look back on this season as one of the best in my 58 years so far. _______________________________________________ the Leeds List is an unmoderated mailing list and the list administrators accept no liability for the personal views and opinions of contributors.
