    Fat chance (at Leeds or anywhere else).
    You would say that coming from West Leeds.

    You will find most folks from North Leeds who follow the team are more optimistic and ever hopeful.You need to migrate back to the North Leeds and smell the sweet white roses to rid that Hampshire negative air your inhaling from the likes of Southampton,Bournemouth and Pompey.😉

    "Coming from west Leeds"!!!! Wash your mouth out with soap! I was born in Horsforth, and lived in Pudsey until in my t e e ns, then to Wakefield. Never lived in Leeds (was regarded as "that place" by my parents and their peers). Why I support Leeds is anyones guess, but as we say (or used to, not "PC" now), "there nowt so queer as folk!"

    As for my comment about "personal responsibility", it was aimed much more generally, everyone seems keen on claiming they need "support" nowadays. I like the JFK quote, "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country". Replace "country" with just about any "organisational" entity, including football club, neighbourhood, local council, national park, school (all levels) etc etc. Doesn't happen as much as it should, always "somebody elses problem".

    Being from Indiana in the USA any studies we had on training basically focused on Basketball. We are also home to one of the greatest basketball players ever, Larry Bird. He had little "athletic ability" include almost no "hops", not fast or quick, not particularly tall or strong. However, legend had it he trained 50 hours a week while in school and didn't lay off much after making it into the pro's. I would say that Mrs. O's assessment is not far off the mark at all. It also explains how people that aren't the best athletes can end up being the best players.

    We've had plenty of players over the years that were gifted with some incredible God given skills that never came close to their potential and a few that overcame the lack of those skills to become great players. Leeds, like most clubs, love the latter. I think players like Pablo, Cooper and Alioski fall into that category.
