It might be Monday morning, but I've got that Friday feeling. Well done Mac on your first win as Leeds boss. Crucial month March, lots of games and points at stake, can't think of a better time to go on a winning run! Come on Leeds.
Time for a feel good song.
Leeds United Matchday: Swindon Town 0 Leeds United 1
Just a quick post to say well done to the Doncaster Rovers groundsman for winning the numpty of the year award. Despite an early kick-off and a sharp frost predicted over night, this intellectually challenged arse decided there was no need to cover the whole pitch.
Well Mr Numpty, this appropriately titled song is just for you.
First point for Leeds United under Gary McAllister. Would have preferred three, but it's a start. Big week coming up, wins against Forest and Doncaster and we can all start to believe again! Come on Leeds.
Leeds United Matchday: Northampton Town 1 Leeds United 1
Oh dear, not quite the start we were all hoping for. Keep the faith fellow Leeds fans, Gary will sort it out and get us moving forward again.
Time for the Leeds United distractor video again!.
Thought you would like to go back to a time when Leeds United ruled the football world. Have a look at this great bit of 70's TV, an absolute Yorkshire classic.
Must confess that I'd never heard of New Leeds United Signing Anthony Elding so I did some YouTube research and it looks like the boy knows where the back of the net is. Also his family are all big Leeds United fans and he looks a bit like Mark Viduka, which is nice!
Not sure how I feel about this one. I still believe that with the time and players he had last season it was a disgrace that we went down, but on the other hand he deserves credit for galvanising the squad after the 15 point deduction and pushing us to the verge of promotion.
As Leeds united fans I think it would be naive to think that Dennis wise would show any loyalty to our great club. This is just one more twist in the roller coaster that is Leeds United. Think we'd be used to it by now wouldn't you!
As an eternal optimist, here's my prediction. New manager comes in, Leeds secure back to back promotions and our first game back in the premier league is Newcastle at home. Bring it on!
Just not happening at the moment. Great set of results last night, chance to go second and then the very thing we were doing to teams on a regular basis in the first half of the season happens to us. Gutted!
Still at least playing Luton gives me the chance to take the piss out of infamous curb crawler David Pleat. Remember his camp running and skipping pitch celebration back in 1983? Bad enough on its own, but to do it in a shit beige suit!
Luton's life saved by a Yugoslav! Yugoslavia doesn't exist anymore a bit like Pleat's career in football management.
Incredible support, awful result. It's on days like this you know who your friends are. You don't really feel like laughing when you lose at home to Doncaster, so I'd Just like to say cheers to my old mate Martin Gilliard who left sunny Kippax for Canada (as you do!). Martin e-mailed me this ace picture through shortly after the game had finished. Just brilliant!
Keeping the classic 80's theme going, it's time for the Leeds United distractor video.
One of my first ambitions in life was to be in the Rock Steady Crew. Living in Leeds and only being able to do a forward roll meant that this ambition was never likely to be realised. Still, we can all dream, can't we?
Apologies to anybody under 35. This was the dogs bollocks back in the 80's. Honest! P.S Did anybody used to sing Hey You The Service Crew!
Oh what fun it is to watch United win away. Well done lads, a really solid performance and the new boys looked to have settled in very quickly. Now let's press on!
The following video is dedicated to Jermain Beckford because he rose like a salmon to head that goal.
I thought pantomime season was over until I read about Jamie (calm down, calm down) Carragher trying to get to eight Luton Town fans sporting bushy blacks wigs, fake moustaches and bright tracksuits. It made me think of Eric Cantona's infamous Kung Fu kick back in 1995.

Worst Kung Fu Auditions Ever
This is one of my all time YouTube video favourites. I've been looking for an excuse to show it on the Leeds United blog. Enjoy.
Meanwhile Back in Liverpool
Leeds United Blog: Calm Down Calm Down Kung Fu Special
Just a quick post to say respect due to Northampton fan Danny Brothers. Danny lives in Southampton and made the long trip up to Elland Road by train, got the football special to the ground with the Leeds fans, had a pint, watched the match, made the long trip back to Southampton and still had a time to write a match review for his Northampton Town football blog.
Obviously chuffed to bits that we won but it's days like this that make you sigh as a Leeds Utd fan. Third round of the FA cup and we're playing a league game against Northampton in the old third division!
Come on boys, lets get the hell out of this league in 2008 and make sure we're enjoying championship and FA cup football this time next year.
It's a funny old game. I didn't see that one coming! Keep the faith, let's not make a crisis out of a drama, sick as a parrot. Sorry, run out of cliches, other than don't panic, remember it's a marathon, not a sprint.
