Am I the only person disappointed that Leeds beat Carlisle?

16 05 2008

Just a quick one.

Am I the only person who was pretty disappointed that Leeds beat Carlisle last night in the League One play-off semi? There’s just a part of me that kind of won’t be too disappointed if Leeds spend another year in League One.

Let’s make it a 24 hour poll shall we? Why not…

Poll: Am I the only person who was pretty disappointed that Leeds beat Carlisle last night in the League One play-off semi?

UPDATE:

I should have realised Leeds fans would take exception to this so let me just explain what I mean a bit more…

Why I won’t be disappointed if Leeds don’t win promotion is down to the fact that I’ve never been particularly fond of Ken Bates (putting it mildly) or Dennis Wise (although he has obviously moved on now), I have grown more and more tired of hearing the media banging on and on about how it was only a few short years ago that United were in the Champions League semi-final (I was disappointed when they were relegated from the Premier League as it is never nice to see such a big club struggling), and then there was the 15-point deduction debacle, which I don’t particularly want to go into.

Don’t get me wrong I’m not going to lose sleep if Leeds do come up. I watched both legs of the semi-final and overall they deserved to win, but it would have been a fairytale in many ways to see Carlisle promoted to the Championship. That’s life.

And I’ll always owe Leeds United Football Club a huge debt because of one reason. Andy Hughes.





Canary Watch: Dean Ashton – does this sound familiar to anyone?

16 05 2008

From Fans FC:

Fans FC reader Andy Harding has a warning for West Ham United Football Club’s Dean Ashton.

The powerful striker has been heavily linked with a £10million move to Manchester United this summer, but Andy has warned the former Norwich City player that asking for a move could be a risky thing to do:

“From west ham fans point of view, and I know I speak for the hard core fans, if Ashton was to leave he would be hated by Hammers fans because after long term injury shortly after we paid over £7million for him, he has yet to give fans and the club any return on the loyalty we have shown him, he owes us big time and to leave after signing a new contract would be unforgivable.”

It wouldn’t be like our Deano to sign a new contract and then jump ship at the first opportunity would it?

The group setup on Facebook that I mentioned last week has picked up over 1,000 members in less than a week, and the online petition created has nearly 500 signatures.

Now someone has put together a little snazzy poster for them, so here it is…
