LUFC, thats the life for me!

Welcome to my debut blog. The idea for this is A. To put down all my thoughts about my beloved Leeds United, and B. to write transfer rumours/news and anything else I can about the best team in the world.

First off a little about me.
I've supported Leeds United for nearly 12 years. They've been an emotional rollercoster, from Champions league glory to relegation struggles. Currently on a high from the promotion from League 1. Something that took us 3 years to do but we won't dwell on that now. This last season saw me achieve my dreams of attending a game at the hallowed ground that is Elland Road. I've visited before but never been inside and watched my team play. This is mostly due to the fact am not actually from Leeds. Am from across the pennines. Thankfully not in the city of scumchester!

Supporting Leeds United is one of my proudest parts of my life, bringing my daughter up as a Leeds United fan is another. Hey she's only 4 but kids gotta learn early :)
My current favourite player is probably either Becchio or Snodgrass. Maxi Gradel in a close third. But my all time favourite Leeds player has to be Alan Smith. Its him I have to thank for seeing the light and becoming the Leeds fan I am today.
After watching Alan Smith make his debut for Leeds in November 1998, I fell in love with him and the team he played for. And although he parted ways with us I'm proud to still be a Leeds United fan. Unlike him I didn't jump ship when we got relegated from the Premier league.

So enough about me.

Right now Leeds are promoted to the Championship, along with Norwich City and Millwall, who won the play off final yesterday. Would of been happier if Swindon had won, mainly so wouldn't of had deal with the Millwall fans boasting against Leeds for yet another season. Oh well, shit happens!
As of Friday Leeds no longer have their leading goalscorer. Kinda sad, Jermaine Beckford was an awesome player, although lazy at times, and without his 31 goals this season its doubtful Leeds may of gone up at all. So Bon Vogage Mister Beckford.
And Bonjour to Kasper Schimichael. Son of former scum goalkeeper. Apparently he's a good little keeper, we'll have wait and see if he can make it in the championship. Feels weird swapping one danish goalie called Casper for another.

Guess thats it for now. Hopefully Leeds will keep the good times coming, lots of good signings and come August lots of winning games so maybe next season I can be sat here saying we got promoted to where we belong, the Premiership.

LUFC forever!
