Dirty cheating Leeds

Leeds have gone into receivership today and been deducted 10 points so therefore are relegated.

What gets me though is that if they had done this after Sunday OR had already been "mathematically" relegated then they would be deducted 10 points at the start of next season but what they have done is knowing that if they don't have a miracle on Sunday then are down. Hull need to lose by 5 goals and Leeds win by 5 goals !

What I think should happen is that they should play until they have accumulated 10 points starting from now. So should they happen to win on Sunday they would still start next season with minus 7 points.

Guess who bought the club straight off the receivers......Ken Bates the current chairman !

Hi James and Faye,

Just want to thank you for an excellent BBQ last Friday, it was great to see you both, and we will certainly miss you too.
Faye thanks for the travel hairdryer, Im sure it will be a Godsend!
Had a night out in Hull yesterday with some huys from the Hull team... it was a heavy one and me and Matt ended up staying over at Mike Woodalls, I have been ill ALL day and had to go back to bed this afternoon (The Joys of been unemployed ;o)) Only 2 days to go, cant believe the time has finally come round!!
Gor the task of packing our ruck sacks tomorrow, Matt said you can put some stuff in my ruck sack if you like, I think he might regret saying that!! Anyway, take care and we will mail you soon,
Michelle
