No Chapy can’t remember Ian Green,  although it’s nearly 50 years back lol. St Kev’s though, that brings back some memories. It was just up the road from John Smeatons really, and was a High school back then. John Smeatons already had a few problems when I was there, but it went on to become one of the worst schools in Leeds and ended up on Channel 4’s dispatches programme. I was happy to blame it on schools like St Kev’s, because we got all the lads who had been excluded from there. It wasn’t a reciprocal deal though, because St Kev’s wouldn’t accept non Catholics back then, so we couldn’t dump our wrong un’s on them. It led to Smeatons becoming a bit of a one way dumping ground. At least we gave the world Josh Warrington, not a bad claim to fame.

Btw, which school did you go to Chapy ? I’m assuming you’re from Chapeltown or Chapel Allerton ?

said all along sheff utd were scraping results and it couldn't last.
and it hasnt

What a difference a week makes. I’ll be sleeping a lot better now we’ve got the situation well in our own hands. We’re not exactly dashing over the line, but I’ll take a narrow one goal victory every game from now on in. The finishing was dreadful at times yesterday, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen a player have as many chances as Piroe did and not get a single one on target. As for that open goal he missed from 3 yards…….I thought I’d seen it all at Portsmouth a couple of weeks ago. Time to get his lowlights, I mean highlights reel out quickly before he becomes absolutely worthless.

Started at Chapeltown Primary which now goes as Chapel Allerton Primary (sounds posher!)
And we moved higher up  Scott Hall Road so ended up at Allerton Grange left at 15 and went to Park Lane for a year and started work.
Sorry the rest of you as I`m sure you are not remotely interested in this.

As to the game could easily have won 5-1 with Piroe 3 times, Gnonto and Aaronson and I think Gruev missing pretty easy chances.
Firpo again letting the wide man come inside for their goal.
Whilst Gnonto was ok I thought we missed the pace of Dan James.
Bogle my man of the match.
And what a difference a slightly above average keeper makes.

Back in those days, the higher you moved up Scott Hall Road the better you had done for yourself. LS7 to LS17 used to be a big social climb back then. Who would have thought the yuppies would be rushing to buy a terraced house in The Methley’s many years later ? Gentrification eh !As for the football, it’s a good point you make about Firpo. The drop in quality of his game becomes apparent when he’s having to defend. That’s maybe why Leeds aren’t breaking their necks to strike a deal. It can be a worry how easily players go past him in The Championship, and the Premier League is different gravy if we go up. It’s beginning to look like the risk the owners took on not recruiting in January and letting some deals run down may be advantageous come the end of May if we’re planning for a top flight campaign.

Morning chaps. For some reason couldn't post all weekend, couldn't open the site... 

Anyways, thought the performance was superb at the weekend, absolutely battered them. Thought Piroe was a bit unlucky, the shot from 3 yards was an unbelievable block by the Preston defender.. he was miles better than he has been in the last 3 games or so.. much more lively and had a good go. We nearly got punished though but thank the lord we kept our nerve... Thought Tanaka still looked iffy, physically he looks cooked. He was slightly better than Midds away but still not great - left holes a mile wide in midfield 


Preston had a go which is credit to them.. all teams are dangerous this time of year as those with nothing to play for aren't going to sit back at Elland Rd, they might as well have a go and the teams at the bottom are fighting for their lives.. as we saw with Plymouth.. i'd like us to be home and hosed by that last game that's for sure.  


I think 6 points will do it from here.. Sheff U will drop more points. A few blunts fans i know said to me it's been coming.. Wilder completely lost the plot at the weekend, not good at all for them lol 

Really enjoyed the game on Saturday but it was a nervy last 10minutes, even though we pretty much dominated the game.

Solomon excellent in the first half, Bogle was my motm, big threat down the right, but you could tell he was struggling by the end of the game. 


Biggest cheers of the day were Darlow doing routine catches, which says a lot about how our season has gone with Meslier. 

Yeah i think 2 more wins see us up. Heads fully gone at SU

Dan James shortlisted for Championship Player Of The Year, with Hamer from Blades and Trafford from Burnley. Only one winner for me, James is miles ahead. Think it will be a double when he wins LUFC Player Of The Year. There?s nobody else like him in this division.
