Even with the amazing success we have had over the past few years I don't think any Leeds fan that has been around for more than 5 years takes anything for granted.

Completely agree just because many are confident it doesn't mean we are taking anything for granted.
Whilst fc aren't to be underestimated i see more threat from HKR,Wire,Wigan and of course Saints.

That's a fabulous attendance for the Hull game and puts our excuse making, disloyal, fekkwitt fan-base to shame really.

I offer no excuses, I WAS there yesterday.

All those excuse making non attending fans have revelled in the last few years success. Success acheived because of sacrifice made by these players in committing to building something special at the expense of personal financial gain.

Some of our fekkwitts should put the same amount of energy into supporting these lads' testemonials as they do drumming up pathetic excuses for the failure to do so.

It takes 5 seconds at my desk to drum up a pathetic excuse. Some of them aren't as sharp as me, but even 30 seconds wouldn't be enough to get most people to the game so I don't know if that would help.

30 seconds? I think you give these idiots far too much credit.

Oh shut up you tart.

This from the guy who misses more than half of our away matches per season. Where are you when the lads most need the support? sat on your backside on the couch, as you keep telling us at the time.

You need to grow up. People have a choice in this world you know, and when money is involved it is up to them what they choose to do with it.

How do you know I miss half of our away matches?

How does my attendance at an away match reward the sacrifices our players have made to provide us fans with an unparallelled level of success?

People do have a choice. They can choose to act decently and show the players the same level of loyalty and commitment they expect from them or they can act like c0cks. I chose the former. I take it from your aggressive defensive response you chose the latter?

I choose to spend my hard earned money on what I choose to spend on. Not what some self righteous idiot on a message board tells me I should be spending on.

I hope that clarifies the position. You need to grow up.

If you're spending your money as you choose then by definition you're doing what some idiot on a message board tells you to do.

Lack of loyalty is duly noted, btw.

This should have been followed by a 'Uhh hmmmmmm girlfriend' in a head-shifting, finger clicking styleé.

I'm going to have a testimonial this year, I think I deserve one, I'll post details of my shirt a little later for you all and we'll have a curry night to raise funds for me.

I probably won't turn up at it, but you can have the whip-round anyway, no cheques please.

As long as it's better than Keith's, I'll buy it.

I'll scribble on each one myself, I have an indelible ink pen and loads of t-shirts in my wardrobe.

£40 each, don't bother with Diskins, mine are much better quality.

I see your point, but I would guess that a lot of the fans you are deriding have paid Matt Diskin's wages for the last 10 years (or however long he has been on a pro contract). Some will have paid players' wages for 40 years before that. Some will continue to pay players' wages for another 40 years.

If you're talking about people acting at the expense of personal financial gain, spending fortunes following your team over a lifetime ranks up there alongside not deciding to chase a few extra quid in return for memories people would pay many thousands for anyway.

That's not to say I don't agree with you that more should have turned up, I do, but in amongst the people you are slating will be people who have contributed far more than yourself towards the club and it's players over the years.

I've made Matt a card, it's lovely, I will post it to him.
