Playing All The Way – Leeds United P03: Bust A Move | @KingOfTheRooks

Welcome back to Yorkshire where real heroes keep playing into their 40’s. If you missed last week, you can catch up here. We’ve been chasing down Man Utd, but their unbelievable form continues.

Despite our progress, everybody wants to leave:

Even Rod Wallace is unhappy. At least Cantona is loyal. We open this part of the season with a banging result against Howard’s old team.

The fans sing “Do do do, Whelan is a daft c***” as he missed the penalty. They’ve heard he wants to leave. Speaking of things that are daft. John Lukic anyone?

When you’re conceding goals to Jamie Pollock, you know you’re in trouble. 90-year-old Beardsley gets in on the action too. Shameful. E-I-E-I-E-I-O, out the FA Cup we go…

We could have done with Clough staying on over Bradbury. We take it up with Coventry, who, whilst simultaneously captaining us against them, are managed by Gordon Strachan. Wonder if the FA will investigate?

The ref asks Cantona to re-take the penalty, its always a curse. Wetherall can weather nothing the soft s****.

After telling Whelan to f*** off and settle, we blow the big bad Dons away.

Old man Strachan with a double. However, Man Utd won’t budge…

Newsome is the latest centre back victim. We’re very thin in defence as it stands.

Thomas Myhre has a blinder for Everton despite playing 75 minutes with a hand injury.

Noteworthy that Lee Chapman couldn’t add to his tally post-hand injury to Myhre. A timely boost as a legend returns in time to enjoy a bit of the season.

He can stay on the bench for now. The old boys come good again and a last-ditch winner from Cantona seals the deal.

Batty, Whelan and Wetherall continue to request to be transfer listed. Honestly man, what bigger clubs do you think are interested? Leicester? Hadaway. Cantona is the hero once more as we beat Arsenal to finally move top.

Will it be temporary? We’ll soon find out. It’s season over for Rodney Wallace.

He was playing from the bench at the minute as Hodge has been decent in the left AMC slot, but it’s depth we are quite frankly, not able to lose.

The League Cup looks like it could have been winnable if it wasn’t for John Lukic.

More last-ditch antics to get beyond Blackburn in the league. It’s like playing with a handicap this keeping situation.

NEWSOME IN!!!

NEWSOME OUT!!!

Shake it all about. We move back into second.

We give Chris Whyte a game and he only goes and pops up with the winner at the death against Derby! You beauty!

As ever, our happiness is short lived. Leicester appear to have us licked and we hang on by the skin of our teeth.

We return to the summit.

However, Man Utd’s far superior goal difference is a problem. We need to rack up some wins as we’re never going to compete on clean sheets. Cantona is quietly making himself the most important player in the side:

While little Gordon is doing miracles at 41:

If you want to see some of these coffin dodgers continue to set the Premier League alight, then keep your eyes peeled for next week when we’ll take on the final quarter of the season and see if we can pip Man Utd to the title…
