Busy Christmas Period

Now I can finally get round to posting about how well Leeds are doing and hopefully without jinxing them! They are now on a 12 match unbeaten run and were up to second place on Christmas day. Since then there have been a few draws including 3-3 against Portsmouth where Andy O'Brien, arguably our best player lately managed to scored two own goals including one in injury time. Leeds are still 4th place and only two points off automatic promotion which is higher than anybody expected and just shows how open the Championship is. A lot of teams in this league are obviously looking to Blackpool for inspiration thinking if they can get promoted so can we! and there is no reason why Leeds can't fall into this category. It would be a tremendous achievement but I don't want to get carried away. The next match is against Cardiff tonight and to some fans this will evoke bad memories after crowd trouble at an FA Cup match nine years ago between the two and some point to that match as a catalyst to Leeds downturn and financial troubles. Cardiff have hit a bad patch lately and Leeds have overtaken them but a win at Cardiff would be another very encouraging sign.
