OK........these 3 things are seemingly insane, but I suppose they could be explained away: 1. The population of Britain has been transmogrified into lemmings, and we are all merrily tearing towards the cliff-edge of leaving the EU. 2. The population of the USA has proven itself to be even more stupid than the world thought they were. 3. Men all over the world have suddenly been consumed by the misapprehension that growing a ridiculous beard and then shaving the sides and back of their head makes them look cool, whereas in fact it just makes them look like complete tossers.
But how do you explain this: Leeds are sitting comfortably in 4th place (and the teams at # 2 and #3 are playing each other today) We are on a run of 10 pts from the last 12 We've just won 3-1 away from home That win included a (possibly) brilliant finish from our CF (who is the league's top scorer)..........a superbly-worked team goal.......and a cracking first ever LUFC goal from an exciting young Spanish winger. Yet I cannot overcome a feeling of worry and dissatisfaction! How can everything seem so great, and yet we seem incapable of stringing more than 2 passes together? How can watching us win 3-1 away be such an uncomfortable and (largely) joyless experience? Has football suddenly been infected by Trumpism, in that, just as the more repugnant and offensive Trump becomes, the more he seems to be popular, so the worse Leeds seem to playe, the better become our results? I suppose the bottom line, as I've said on here before, is that Monk seems to have transformed us from a team that sometimes played some really nice stuff but usually lost, into a team that nearly always plays awfully but usually somehow manages to win. And that after 50 years of watching, it looks like I know nothing about how football works (or politics, or men's hair fashions, for that matter!) _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: http://mailman.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email leedslist-unsubscr...@gn.apc.org MARCHING ON TOGETHER
