Sport Sunday - Almost a Perfect Weekend

I haven't done a Sunday Sport Post for quite a while as I've just been concentrating on my main love for Leeds United. However this weekend has been good as I say almost perfect.


Obviously as mentioned yesterday the Mighty Whites continued their unbeaten run with a hard fought 1-0 victory over a good Yeovil team, the start to the season has been fantastic almost unbelivable. Following the 15 point deduction a lot of people expected the club to lay down and die, sorry folks you were wrong this is the start of something big. Momentum is building we look unstoppable.
Anyway as we are ten matches into the season I thought I'd post this video of the season so far, hell I'm so chuffed.



The Soccer team wern't the only one's to make the City of Leeds proud this weekend because Rugby League Side the Rhinos stuffed Lancashire Outfit Wigan Warriors 36-6 on Friday night to reach the Super League Grand Final. They will face favorites St Helens in the final but on their day the Rhinos are capable of beating anyone. The City of Leeds is buzzing with the success of their sports teams anything is possible.

Talking of anything is possible the Rugby Union World Cup Quarter Finals were played this weekend, England despite been champions just haven't really performed in the four years since that great day and everyone expected them to be hammered by one of the favorites Australia. But guess what a 12-10 victory sets up a semi-final clash with host nation France who also had a great win over the New Zealand All Blacks. Now who said the southern hemisphere sides are much stronger ?

Boxing and our up and coming superstar Amir Khan continued his rise to the world title with his 15th succesive victory over Scott Lawton to retain the commonwealth crown. The lad is only 20 years old but looks to have the speed and power to become a all time great.

I did say it was almost a perfect weekend because this was supposed to be when Lewis Hamilton became the youngest ever Formula One world champion. However a mistake in not changing his tyres soon enough in the China Grand Prix cost him as he crashed out. He still leads the championship but only by four points and it all goes down to the last race.

While I'm doing a article I thought I'd post this its probably the best song ever, I'm sure Airliebird will agree anyway.

Thanks for mentioning the Rugby League Mick. The boys were absolutely awesome on Friday night. It was a cracking atmosphere. Looking forward to cheering on the boys on Saturday and hopefully being Grand Final winners again! You did promise you would maybe do a blog on the Rugby League. Maybe now would be a good time to think about it.

The Chris Moyles song is priceless isnt it? Great stuff!
Going onto the Rhinos, I think they can go all the way, have done for a while really. Now this is a Hull FC fan talking so anyone that knows the rivalry between the 2 clubs will know I'm serious! lol. One of the best performances in Super league this season was when Leeds beat Saints away earlier this year. If they can repeat that performance they could do it.
I mean, they better take their chance this year, because the title is ours next year! :)
