The surprise that I was promising you about week eight is that there is no week eight, well at least not in the traditional sense.

Watch this space...

It hasn't moved yet.

Que?

I suggest you try looking at one of the other threads

perhaps he's having a problem remembering that such a thing as european competition exists?

Oh I don't know, from what I recall people remind his crowd of recent history on a regular basis


Leeds United? Didn't you used to be famous?

Leeds United who are they?

Leeds United? Oh, we're the 44th best team in England according to the league table. We used to be quite famous.

Hmm...just to put that into perspective, Scunthorpe are the 46th best team.

B

And those positions could well be reversed in 12 months time...

I think that's a bit optimistic.

I can't see Leeds getting as high as second in League One.

B

I dunno, Psy - Cardiff certainly did their best to give your boys a chance today, going down to nine men and missing a penalty. And still you lost! Downright ungrateful, I call it!

Yes, I enjoyed that. See my latest journal for another reason why it made my afternoon.

B

Well, when your star strikers are David "Barn Door" Healy and Tresor "Cow's Arse" Kandol, that's not enough for a point.

I've just taken part in the weekly Bradford University Students' Union pub quiz. One of the questions this week was: 'Which former giant of English football is currently propping up the Coca-Cola Championship?' Getting that one right helped me and my team to win some beer!

By the way, one of the quiz teams was called 'An Archaeologist Should Always Know Where His Trowel Is'.

There is a part of me that is saddened by Leeds' current situation. You see, if it all goes tits up for the Blades this season and we prove the early commentators right by being relegated, then there looks like there will be no derby matches next season against the hated Leeds

I'd be quite happy for the hated Scunthorpe to provide you with some opposition.

B

No having to go to Bramall Lane for ANOTHER season? Maybe getting relegated won't be so bad. And as for missing out on Scunthorpe? I'm quite looking forward to this now!

Will you start worrying when you're relegated to League Two? And the conference?

Happened to Oxford.

B

Means there's more space at ER. I'll be able to stretch my legs a bit.
