Well we're definitely having a proper winter this year. Is it cold! Just looked at the forecast, amd it's -6 tonight! I know in the scheme of things (like say compared to Poland for instance) it's not all that cold, but to us it is!
In my last post I said I'd mention Leeds Utd. Well as it seems to happen with all the teams I follow, LUFC have gone into 'Soap opera' mode again. We sell our Captain Jonny Howson to Norwich, then shortly after our manager for the last 3 years, Simon Grayson was sacked. Now I liked Simon, and thought in many ways he had to operate with one hand tied behind his back. But I have to say the problem we suffered in defence when he started his tenure, was still there when he left. Up to this season we've scored plenty of goals, nullifying any leaks. This season the goal spree has tailed off quite a bit, so showing up the defensive frailties in sharper focus.
It will be interesting to see who Chairman Ken appoints. I have a feeling he may give the job to reserve team manager, and caretaker manager of the 1st team at the mo, Neil Redfern. As I would imagine he would be cheap. One thing Ken doesn't do is splash the cash. Many Leeds fans hate his guts. I presonally have a grudging respect for him, he's no mug. But we can't go on without investing in the team. Properly. Not loan signing after loan signing. We'll never get promotion if this keeps up.
Hull FC are away in the South of France to play Catalan tomorrow night. The lads wont even be warm there too, just had a look and its 0 degrees. So at least its a bit warmer.
So come on you Mighty Whites and Black and Whites. An afternoon/evening of sports listening for me tomorrow!
Hope you all have a fab weekend :D

At least the thaw is starting as i write, gonna warm up a bit this week.
I agree with you about Ken although dissapointed he sacked SG. Can't go along with the "Bates Out" brigade at all, never heard one of them suggest who would take over.
Saying that I feel Ken is preparing the Cub to be sold or a huge profit with the Hotel, Corporate boxes, etc. it like buying a old house doing it up then selling. Just need the next Ambramovich, lol.
Never thought about it that way, but Uncle Ken is primarily a businessman isn't he? And not being morbid, but he's not a young man, maybe hoping to leave something substantial behind.
Quite fancy Mick McCarthy now he's got the push from Wolves. At least the interviews would be a laff lol.
