Leeds United

Ok, so a series of end of season draws and goal-free performances notwithstanding, Leeds have qualified for the League Championship playoffs. This is significant because, if they return to the premiership next season, I can cancel my one off subscription to Setanta Sports. They've shown exactly 3 Leeds United fixtures all season, which means about $44/game, which is roughly what it costs to sit in an actual seat at Elland Road these days, only without the cold wind, rain, and the universally cheerful disposition of the good people of Yorkshire.

The good news is Leeds will have the services of Eddie Lewis, although I am sure Leeds/England fans will watch with sick hearts when the US storms to victory in this summer's World Cup, upsetting Sven's prediction of England's triumph.

I presume that Lakie is responsible for this distinct lack of good taste and judgment. :-) However, due to matrimonial responsibilities, I have to wish Leeds good luck and support them throughout the playoffs.

Mr. Lakie is indeed the offending party responsible for my Leeds United affinity. As far as his taste is concerned, it's impeccable. Keep your house in order, Mark, and shout it out loud...
