Ignorance Is Bliss? An All-white weekend...boom boom....

Isn't it lovely not drowing in coffee
Footloose and fancy free

Feet warm and heart still
No need to swallow a bitter pill

Drinks and merriment at the theatre watching Jason Donovan
No traumatic texts or strained cries of get in there son!

A sexy Saturday watching Priscilla
Plush seat instead of a plastic seat fixed on to a concrete knee killer

Okay I know I say no pain no gain
But I can't really complain

When Dad says he doesn't want to go to the Birmingham clash
Our form is as dodgy as Bobby Ball's 'tache

We'll come good some day
Plenty of football left to play

Just not expecting that to turn up at Elland Road too soon
Think we should start praying besides the moon

If only passionate support was the currency of success
I know we seem to be a bit of a manic mess

One minute we've turned a corner only to crumble at the next
I don't want to insult Brian McDermott's intellect

Surely he knows what's required
Excuses are getting old and tired

Like too many legs clogging around that pitch
The boardroom fickle fingers may start to twitch

Yet they've got to share the burden of blame
Let's make Elland Road a fortress again

Back the boss both on and off the turf
It's time for both boss and boardroom to prove their worth!

Ranting Ross And The Pathetic Penalty? Who Cares! A Win's A Win!!!

Ahhh Ross.... hes a bit of a poor mans Viduka, when hes on his game hes a crowd pleaser scoring for fun, when hes not hes a sulky barndoor. In his defence, up to the pen miss he was having a half decent game, even Warnock first half seemed to hv turned a corner, Hunt tries but it just wasn't happening between him and McCormack. We lack killer instinct, perhaps its a confidence thing, pace was missing til Poleon came on.. so many chances to bury the game in 1st half. You could tell McDermott was desperate for the win when he was anxious to do a double substitution just before Poleon's strike. Don't let the marvel of Mowatt mask our familiar frailties but a welcome win against a side that were about our level. They defended like mad at 1-1 and the replacement goalie was impressive, a poor double header give away involved in their goal however... considering for much of the game we had the extra man advantage there was a worrying lack of urgency and a better side would've punished us and used their superior height to better effect but in the end the pressure told.
Not a bad crowd, just over 21,700 witnessed a half decent game with a fussy, irritating ref, Austin was his usual abrasive yet convincingly commandeering self, Warnock pleasingly workmanlike,Mowatt looks like another star in the making from our fruitful, fantastic academy (hands off Norwich better be written in blood in his contract lol) we know our weaknesses.. as predictable as our lack of transfer activity.. but this win will hopefullygive the side a kick up the bum. Derby coming back from 4-0 down vs Ipswich shows that we'll be up against a doggedly determined team keen to impress their new manager, Mr Wally with a Brolly. Lets hope its raining goals for the right reasons on Saturday!
