Re Number 23. Didn't Bournemouth change their name to AFC Bournemouth in the 70's to do the same thing?

Good list.

[Sheriff Fatman]

No 3 I assume means physically shown a red card, rather than sent off.  Thinking of Rattin being sent off in 66 at the very least.

It seems Leeds UTD top the charts in a few areas one of them being the amount of fans banned from all grounds. This story hit the news today listing us above ever other club in the country! not great.

Its interesting that lots of clubs have a higher % of banned fans compared to us. Also its funny this season reading all the up-and-coming away games fan forums saying they are going to give special treatment to the Leeds fans coming soon. No wonder Leeds have so many banned.

Firstly, woo-hoo. Hopefully better times ahead for us.

Secondly, any Leeds fans who went, thoughts on the game please

[Acidmouse]

I listened to the full game then watch extended hightlights and spoke to a few who went. Got owned, good a proper. They have the jinx over us, well and truely.

Win one, lose one seems the norm for us.

4-0 loss to Cardiff at home, ouch.

4-0 loss to Cardiff at home, ouch.

no we won 4-0 troll.

Had no idea you had signed Kasper in goal. Apart from this game, how has he been doing? Always thought he showed promise, but never really had the chance at City.

Had no idea you had signed Kasper in goal. Apart from this game, how has he been doing? Always thought he showed promise, but never really had the chance at City.

Hes been amazing. He was our best player then has been injured for 5 matches. Then had his first bad game in a Leeds shirt tonight. But then again, we would still have lost even with Superman in goal.

[Acidmouse]

gets away with this, no action to be taken. gg.

[ChipRich]

such a bad tackle.

so so so lucky it aint a broken leg.

[TheChipPrince]

One footed, but completely mis-timed, got his angles all wrong and tyring to tackle straight on, yellow for me.
