I can't think of a better time for Leeds Utd fans to play Jeff Stelling's Super Special Soccer Saturday Drinking Game than this weekend. Perhaps losing to the mighty Hereford in the first round of the FA cup wasn't too bad after all.

Leeds United Blog: Football Hard Men

Leeds United



The Times Online recently published a list of football's 50 greatest hard men. Leeds utd fans will be interested to note that the following players with a leeds united connection were listed and described as follows:

5 Johnny Giles (Leeds United and Ireland)

Harmer Giles graduated from Don Revie’s Academy of the Dark Arts with honours. In a team populated with miscreants, Giles was top of the shop. Chelsea’s Tommy Baldwin said, ‘Giles was the main instigator of the really bad tackles.’

13 Paul Reaney (Leeds Utd)

Best also rated Meanie Reaney among the people he least liked being kicked by. ‘(He) was among the toughest players I played against,’ he said. ‘He was at you the whole 90 minutes, using every dodgy trick in the book.’

16 Billy Bremner (Leeds United and Scotland)

The truculent so-and-so from a rough housing scheme in Stirling was the fiery ginger Scottish tough guy incarnate. Once described in a Sunday Times headline as ‘10st of barbed wire.’

18 Norman Hunter (Leeds United and England)

Storming Norman was the first villain to claim the nickname ‘Bites yer legs’. Leeds’ trainer Les Cocker was once told Hunter had gone home with a broken leg. ‘Whose is it?’ he asked.

28 Jack Charlton (Leeds United and England)

Denied ever having a little black book of prospective victims. But he was always the evil twin to Saint Bobby.

31 Kenny Burns (Nottingham Forest and Scotland)

Every city he played in needed a Burns Unit at the nearest hospital.

34 Joe Jordan (Leeds, Manchester United, AC Milan and Scotland)

There have been few more fearsome sights in the European game than 'Jaws' Jordan without his front teeth.

Girly Footballers

But what about the other side of the coin? Because for every football hard man, there is a pretty boy more interested in his hair and how he looks than getting stuck in for the team. As such, the leeds united blog is pleased to present Football Ying & Yang.

Leeds United Blog: Ian Holloway



Read an article in the Mirror featuring new Leicester City boss Ian Holloway who wants his team to adopt the Leeds United philosophy in order to reach the Championship play-offs. Holloway is quoted as saying.

"I have had a long chat with the players and been honest and frank about what I want. Look at what Leeds United have done...For me, once they stopped moaning about the mess and having 15 points deducted they have got on with it and now look at the unity and the points tally...A winner falls over, gets up, falls over, gets up again and achieves what he wants because he has never given up. That is what I want."

Well said that man.

What is with leeds conceding goals from 30 yards out? Keep the faith, we would have more than settled to be where we are in the league now at the start of the season.

The Leeds United Distractor



If losing didn't feel so shit, winning wouldn't feel so sweet but that's not much comfort on a day like today, particularly on a Sunday when all you've got to look forward to is work in the morning and people taking the piss who don't support God's own team. That's why as from today the Leeds United blog will be activating the Leeds United Distractor. As the promotional poster featuring Big Leeds United fan Justin Timberlake notes, the Leeds United Distractor is only to be used (hopefully not too often) after defeat.

The leeds united distractor simply consists of something to take your mind off the game. In this case a video from a Japanese game show. I can't begin to tell you how much I think the next England Football manager should be allowed to use the Slapping Machine on underperforming players before, during and after a game (you'll know what I mean when you watch the video).

Leeds United: Something For The Weekend

Leeds United



Gotta love that Friday feeling and in celebration I'm starting a new regular feature on the leeds united blog. Each Friday I intend to post a video designed to get the weekend off to a chortlingly good start.

The first video in the series has being doing the rounds for a while now but it's still worth a watch even if you've seen it before. A big thanks to Neil (Kippax lad pretending to be posh living in Garforth) Allison for letting me know about this one.

This one goes out to anyone who has played championship manager or football manager



Have a great weekend, come on Leeds!

Dave

Marching on Together.
