Time to Turn the Corner

For my Soccer Club Leeds United this season so far has been a nightmare, the team have looked like they have never seen a football never mind kicked one.
We have lost nine of our opening thirteen matches, not surprising our home gates have slumped.
We have just lost 5 consecutive matches.
We have the worst goals ratio in the league.
We are playing with absolute confidence.
We have sacked the manager and under a caretaker we have managed to conceed 21 goals in 6 matches, we are 2nd bottom in the 2nd flight of English Soccer, we have not been this low for over 40 years.
We have just been knocked out of the Carling Cup by Southend (who) missing out on a lucrative home tie against thr red vermin.
All this for a club that was in Europes elite only 4 years ago.

Saturday a new era begins we have a new manager Dennis Wise the former Chelsea and England player, we have a new coach Gus Poyet former Uruguyan international. Its now time to pull together, players, fans, everyone.
We must beat Southend to avenge the Cup defeat on Tuesday.
We must get behind Dennis and Gus despite their Chelsea links.
We must climb the League.
We must show who are the best supporters in world football.

Tomorrow I will make the pilgrimage to Elland Road we must stick toghether, this is Leeds United we stand as one, we can only help ourselves.

"Marching on together" must be sung like never before.


Finally lets remind everyone of the good times :-


The moment in 1972 when we won the Centenary FA Cup Final thanks to Allan Clarks superb headed goal. I was there amongst a crowd of 100,000 at the age of 14, some things you never forget.

I said on my blog the other day we needed a manager with a strong personality, well Papa Smurf has brought in just that!
I wish Wisey all the best, and hope he does the job, but if he doesn't, he may just be hung from the back of the Revie stand! ;)
'Marchin' on together
We're gonna see you win (na, na, na, na, na, na)
We are so proud
We shout it out loud
We love you Leeds! Leeds! Leeds!'

you guys don't need a manager you need an exorcist.

Dc,
Not as daft as it seems apparently our greatest ever manager Don Revie believed our Stadium was cursed by Gypsy's and actually got a exorcist in.
Apparently the site where it is built was origionally a Gypsy Camp and when they where kicked off they put a Curse on the Club.
