Welcome to a new forum, where Mozzy moans about football-related stuff. Here's moan 1.

Has the world run barking mad?

I refer to the Lions' new kit. All white may be all well and dandy but a) it's a bugger to get those grass, blood, beer and other Saturday night stains out of white clothes (as your maids/wives/significant others will later chew your ears off about) and b) it looks like THEIR kit! I don't refer to that bunch of wannabe chancers who only went for the money (Real Madrid, in case you can't guess it's that load of long-haired over-paid mincing Continental poncies - (Chelsea play in BLUE!)) but a very famous club that dominated English and European football for many years and are now languishing in Division 1 (or the Sprite Nancy Boys second-rate dream-up-a-fancy-name and make -'em-feel-it's-a-proper-league-Championship Championship) - yes, it's LEEDS UNITED! Now I don't want to be defeatist about this but .... are we going to get our money back when players move on, or is it gonna be that Harry Kewell Scumbag Traitor we-got-three-quid stuff all over again? Are our strikers gonna play like Smithy and get red carded every other game (Come on Mucky you great nonce! Get stuck in!) or are they aiming to beat Mark Viduka in the rush to the pie shop? (I'm taking bets on which is more likely!) Is our Board of Directors gonna give the money man carte blanche to bankroll endless useless signings and bankrupt the club? Are we gonna be chanting "Are you Ridsdale in disguise? "

I must confess for a nostalgia for the old black and orange because it tested the failing eyesight of our more elderly players in two significant ways. Firstly, the day-glo orange shorts seared the eyes in sunlight and the tight gussets meant they didn't need their surgical supports, and secondly, the black shirts made it near impossible to identify Lions players in the darkness (when Moratuwa met their match, remember?) - it's good for them! It keeps them awake when they're way past the time they ought to be back in the Home and nodding off with a gin and water in their bathchairs with their knees wrapped up in those little tartan rugs.

Come on Lions. Brace up! Fancy schmanzy farty arty toity hoity up your social worker all clean whites looking like Peterborough United or the good old black and orange so we look like Holland Away?

BTW - TRAINING BIBS? CROSS-COUNTRY RUNS! THAT'S WHAT TRAINING'S ABOUT, LADDIE.

is mosi man on about!?

WE are the new Galacticos! The new strip is brill (well done Matt) and we look great. I reckon on the form of last week we would probably tonk those northern English Leeds United ponces any day!
And just to add it was Ridsdale that bankrupt your beloved Leeds and nowt to do with the manager, he is a great manager and always will be! If a board give hime money they don't have and bank all they have on getting into the Champions League then it is the boys who run the business that need to be strung up!

BRING ON THE WINNERS OF THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE THIS SEASON AGAINST OUR SHOCK FA CUP FINAL WIN IN A CHARITY SHEILD MATCH NEXT MAY!!!!

I agree Mucky,

What the hell is he whining about? Sounds like sour grapes to me, or tropical fish for that matter.

Though, there are a few similarities. Yes, Leeds have the honour of strolling out on a Saturday afternoon looking like the dandiest team in Colombo, AND onto a pitch they don't own, AND most of their players don't get paid EITHER. Uncanny!

Cobblers to that, you big spindley tart! Where do you get off comparing the car crash that is the 'Leeds United Official Balance Book Annual 2002' with the well-oiled, super-charged accounting system that we have in place here at Layard's Road. I've a good mind to send the Mad Dog round... Stevie A, unleash the man-beast!

shut-up Mozzy!
