    do you remember when mighty Leeds relegated you?
    No?
    Do you want us to remind you?

    Never forget adopting a tame tractorboy is for life not just a close season!

    Brb will always pop up to remind us as it was the biggest game of his life,plus he has a reminder every home game,as the scaffolding they nicked off a building site in Leeds they built a stand with it.

    Whilst I have to concede that Leeds are a massive club and have done really well over the years, why are the exploits of a rugby club relevant on a football forum. :emoticon-0136-giggl

    Thank you ever so much for your valued attention - we are not worthy.
    Now, forgive me if I'm wrong - but I thought that a football season consisted of more than one game (38 or 46 etc)
    One game against one team didn't relegate us - it was the culmination of the results in ALL the games that meant we were relegated. ( You'll be familiar with that term as it has affected your team in 'recent' times.)
    We deserved our relegation - partly because of the tactics of our manager - and the fact that we couldn't score a goal in our last 4 away league games which were all lost. Even just one goal in those defeats would have saved us from relegation - OR-

    PERHAPS LEEDS DID RELEGATE US !!!
    perhaps when were were 3-0 up against your lot we relaxed too much - you certainly got 'lucky' to actually score a couple whilst we had our minds on not humiliating you by scoring at will - which was EXACTLY what it was like in those first 30 minutes.

    Like I said - thanks for your attention - it must be a right nuisance for you whilst you pursue Champions League glory.

    Yer got to agree with you,we did send you down twice.Don't worry about my attention,I do enjoy a visit to brb,its like volunteer charity work I view it as a civic duty to spend some time with the less well off in our society.

    I might owe you an apology! having just googled Leeds, it appears they did used to have a football team many years ago but it fell on hard times and failed to recover. :emoticon-0130-devil

    Leeds really need to let this go, love him or hate him at least scally had the balls to admit he voted in favour of the points deduction unlike the rest who hid behind anonymity. Oh and by the way Leeds weren't the only club ever to have a points deduction the whole world is not actually against you, Leeds are a big club but playing against you several seasons on the spin it became just another game rather than a big game

    Anyways i'm happy with my little pub team, at least we have won a trophy in recent years, exactly when was Leeds last big silverware <whistle>

    ps. anyone one note the major made an appearance the other day...we must be in for a good season LOL, oh and it's about time Showoff opened a new Taverna :)
