The reporter in the Mail (Des Kelly), tried to probe Bates about who exactly owns Leeds as per FL rules. It's not even on their website. Bates ran rings round Kelly, just as he (and others) do to the suits and blazers who are meant to be running the game.
Hey ho! It would be easy to get all bitter and twisted at the dawn of a bright new season!
BUT...was it just me who saw Look North may as well have reverted to their proper name of Look Leeds with the coverage they've been getting?
Calm down, grafikhaus. I'm sure it's just your imagination! Here, let's see what's on telly.
WHAAAAAT??? Fucking Leeds live on BBC this teatime! This season is going to be a nightmare!
Look, grafikhaus. You're just reading things into something that isn't there. It was bound to be like this. After all, Leeds like our dear neighbours are MASSIVE. Here, let's put that excellent BBC programme on, 'Football Focus'.
Yeah, all right. At least it's got Lee Dixon and that other half of the unfunny comedy duo, Hansen and Lawrenson. Here we go.....YOU HAVE GOT TO BE FUCKING JOKING! A bigger propaganda film hasn't been made since Goebbels was around.
Still, at least after 30 minutes of this drivel, they are at least acknowledging that there might be other teams in the Championship. Yeah, it's here now. A full list of former PL teams who are in the Championship this year.
Who's that at the end of the list?
...SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY.
Wake me up next May.
