Leon is a gem always will be,he has a quality about him of scoring goals that will be missed,like the winning goal at Brentford.

Madine comes with considerably more baggage.I wasn’t thinking of anyone in particular mate. But there are a few who can’t come to terms with us signing ex Owls.
I was stood in front of one at Norwich last Saturday. Every time Madine touched the ball he called him a great lump or a pig and was more delighted when he got subbed than when we scored the equaliser!
That looks like someone described the Bohemian Rhapsody video to David Blunkett and asked him to draw it...
It's a shame he hasn't had a chance to say goodbye to the fans and as we've played Wigan twice, he may not get it.
He certainly deserves one last thanks for the great memories he has helped provide. He may not be a legend like a Woodward or Hodgkinson or Hagan but he's certainly etched his name into some legendary moments over the past couple of years.
Thanks Big Man - Leon, Leon, Leon!
Madine comes with considerably more baggage.
Baggage that some are unable to detach from.
There has been a lot recently about how a decent percentage of followers of football go to games with the primary objective to “vent”.
These people, in my humble opinion, can fuck off to the end of time, and never disgrace a football stadium ever again.
Vent over !!

I also think it's a lot to do with beer!
I took a mate of mine with me to Norwich. I drove. We parked up half an hour from the ground and went for a pint. At least, I went for a pint (2 actually) - he had 5 or 6.
On entering the ground, not surprisingly, he was dying for a piss. The toilets were right next to our gangway. Gangway G. So I said to him, "I'll go and sit down, we're on Row B, that'll be near the front.". Now, if that sounds a bit "parental" on my part, believe me, it's necessary. This kid is not really capable of working out which order the alphabet comes in (and I'm not joking btw). Neither could he look at a row of seats and work out from the numbers whether he needs to go to the left or right. And if you think that's unusual...it's not. It's obviously something that affects the majority of folks, as I found out especially when I went to Bristol City last season. I think I was told I was in the wrong seat at least 4 times, by thicko's who couldn't work out which "Block" they were supposed to be in. Anyhow...
20 minutes in to the game and he's still not joined me. I was a bit concerned. He's a big lad and, I don't know, sometimes I think he's a candidate for a bloody heart attack and it crossed my mind something might have happened to him. I turned round to look in the crowd - and there he was, a few rows back. He'd gone to row G and kicked someone out of their seat, thinking it was his!Few folk would argue with him I suppose.
He spots me and I mouth to him something along the lines of..."Wherefore art thou standing up there for - quo vadis?" He then signals to me he's on his way down to join me.
Two minutes later and he comes roaring (literally) in to the space at the side of me. "Get effin' stuck in Madine - tha not 'ard nah a tha"" "Effin gerrem teld Billy - put some effin effort in" "Effin come on Blades - it's effin rubbish this" "effin come on". And it was like that right up to the moment when Billy got the equaliser from the penalty. Then, with a blast of "that's effin better Blades - effin come on nah" he quietened down a bit.
To be honest, I just wondered why I'd bothered to bring to his attention where his seat was. In fact I wondered why I'd bothered to offer to take him with me to Norwich in the first place. Without a drink he's a nice lad - salt o' the earth. But with a drink in him, he's like a different person. I'm sure there are many folks like that.
I don't recall going with you Norwich...I also think it's a lot to do with beer!

Just wait for the next one![]()
Tell us mate, tell us now.
Don't worry about all that 'put it on the rumours board until it's for confirmed' stuff.
You obviously know enough to be trusted with your itk sources.
Step aside Sunjihai there's a new kid in town![]()
I’m retired with an unblemished record
Leon did what we all said he would do
Wigan on loan until the end of the season.Without wading through 19 pages...which club is Leon joining?
