Yeah sure, it may be a bit early, but this party’s starting right in welcoming Leeds to Division 1 football, where they frankly belonged LAST year, but were it not for a lucky win at OUR expense…
Bitter? Damn right I’m still bitter about that.
But it’s not just that. It’s also the way they USED to be a quality side where my hate began. But then we add in the shenanigans of Bowyer and Woodgate that we all know about. It’s their failure to beat Galatasaray that led to our denial of a UEFA Cup. It’s the way they used to look BETTER than Arsenal in Europe. It’s the way some of their fans are the biggest racists I ever encountered, taking their wannabe-Real-Madrid kits as some sort of racial pride statement. It’s the way they USED to be one of the Bright Young Shining Examples of British Football at their finest. Hmm, rather like the team they shoulda joined last year, West Ham (yeah, I danced jubilantly over them too).
But those days are gone now. Terry Venables, EL FRICKIN TEL, couldn’t save them. And now we get Peter Reid.
Peter Reid is now officially the worst manager in Premiership history. In 2 consecutive seasons he’s parked clubs to the 20th place rank, Sunderland and now Leeds. How this guy got anywhere near managing Premiership football is beyond me. For Christ’s sake, he can’t even see past his own nose to know MARK VIDUKA REGULARLY SCORES AGAINST ARSENAL.
Today’s result of 6 -1 by Portsmouth has only sealed his fate. I’m sure we’ll be hearing about his shitcanning soon enough. Meanwhile, good riddance to a bad manager, and good riddance to no-good pigksucking Leeds Thugs Friggin’ United.

I UPDATE! FOR YOU!
Well holy crap, too bad this didn’t get posted BEFORE Reid got the shitcanning I predicted, then I’d be some sort of prophet round these parts.
It also occured to me the night after, having written that on Saturday night, that the same might also apply to Liverpool and Houllier. Yeah, that dead horse again. But face it man, their season’s over — losses to Arsenal, Chelsea, AND Man Utd all at Anfield. Anyone who thinks they have a chance in Hell of winning the title now is clowning.
Same goes to Newcastle. Losses to the top 3 to them too, especially the complete ASS-WHIPPING Chelski bestowed upon the Toonie Geordies on Sunday. You ALMOST feel sorry for them. Almost. I say it’s a bit more of a shame that Toon’s doing so poorly, since Sir Blobby REALLY fought tooth and nail to get the Magpies to any sort of position as to be considered a vague contender back when they seemed destined for the SECOND Division. And as football fans, you HAVE to respect that.
Regardless, that’s 2 out of the Top 5 that are gone gone gone as far as title hopes this season. And it’s only Week 12. Of course, Leeds were out of the picture long before this, round this time last year…
