I was saddened and disappointed when I heard the news that ex-Leeds United player, Harry Kewell, decided to leave Liverpool and sign for the Turkish side, Galatasaray.
Kewell was part of the Leeds United team that visted Istanbul to play Galatasaray in 2000, where two Leeds fans were murdered. The tragedy brought fans and players together; and squad members, including Kewell, met with the victims’ friends and families.
For Kewell to sign for Gala, and even appear on Sky Sports News, praising the support of the Turkish fans, is just sickening and disrespectful to the Leeds fans that lost their lives on that tragic night.

... - Proud In Defeat
It's not every day that Leeds will lose a game of football, yet I'll be able to take many positives from it.
While it was pretty gutting to concede a fourth goal, especially so close to full time, it should never be forgotten...

... - Tracking Or Spying?
This is why I love Leeds fans - they're fucking nuts! As I mentioned the other day, Leeds United have been trying to sign a Spanish player, Rodrigo, for a rather hefty sum of dough. Naturally, our fans are desperate for this to all become official. Such is the craving for updates on Rodrigo's location, one supporter...

So you stumbled across my blog. No doubt after searching for something bizarre on Google. Before you hit that 'Back Button', why not stay and have a read for a few minutes?
If you are after a website which gives advice on how to hack an iPhone X, download the latest Steven Seagal movie, or view nudy ladies, you've come to the wrong place and may now press 'Back'.
However, if you would like a lifestyle blog, written by a 30-something chap, living in Bath (England), feast your eyes on this.
You won't discover how to copy PlayStation 4 games. What you will find is a blog, covering life in the West Country, the highs and lows of supporting two unsuccessful football teams, while sharing a house with a wife and rabbit.
All written by a man, somewhere on the sanity-scale between normal and eccentric.

July 7, 2008 - 6:18 amHA HA HA! It was a good day for football, why should you care he's been injured for the last five years. Just because 2 Leeds fans are stabbed doesn't make the whole nation a bunch of knife welding murderers, same goes for London, they aren't all murders.
