Wow. Is this this summer's curry house thread? Anyone finding that photocopiers are becoming equally redundant? I'm frequently being sent documents photo'd by people's smartphones. NB: The BBC reporting that Leeds are two up in the Olympics today. JB -Original Message- From: Graham

[LU] 04-March-1972. Southampton

On a nostalgia trip, I found a good quality video of that game against Southampton. It was uploaded in Apr'20 so it might be new to some of you. 35mins of highlights. It's been converted to widescreen, so presumably the top and bottom of the original MOTD video has been cut off, but it doesn't

Now that we’re in the same division as Manchester again, I’m just wondering if there’s much to dislike about them anymore. None of their players raise my hackles, Marcus Rashford is positively a National Treasure, and the Baby-Faced Assassin is pretty likeable too. Maybe I need some

Hi Dave, A few elements of your story are similar to mine. It's 1966, World Cup time. I'm 7 and beginning to become aware of football. Booby Charlton is my first favourite player, and by association Manchester are my favourite team. However, my Mancunian parents are always calling me their

[LU] Trivia Question from Heimbane

I've been watching a TV series from Norway called "Heimbane". It's another in the "Female Coach/Male Football Team" genre. I don't think it's been on British TV, nor on a Netflix-type streaming service, and the only subtitles I've found are less than perfect. In Heimbane there's a character

Yep. It seems very unfair to cancel competitions or stop them where they are now. My preference: whenever it should be, this season's competitions should be completed as originally structured, and it is next season that you re-structure. For example, say we resume in November, we play the

Lurkdom mode - OFF. Once we abandoned the City of Leeds badge, sometime in the 1960's I think, we then seemed to change our badge every other year. It wasn't until the "rose and ball" one - the one we won the 1992 Championship with - that we settled down to some season after season continuity.

Hi John, Thanks for the nostalgia hit. Hope you weren’t too busy filming to actually enjoy the show. On my Youtube, there's a link to an almost identical bit of footage by someone called "Country Mile". I played them side by side to see if one of you appeared in the other's video, but I
