Brilliant memory post King of Tonga. Yes, some of us still live with the memory of that game, and I think a few of us still regard that as the last time LUFC had any ambition to progress in that competition. I'm not sure this squad are 1972 capable, but I wish at least we'd give it a fucking go instead of fielding U-17s, thereby showing some respect to the 6,000+ fans travelling to the game and paying hard-earned moolah for an expensive day-out. Not all of the fans are on £30,000 a week....

The current players, management, owners and everyone should be forced to read that this morning and told how much the memory of that day still hurts Leeds fans. The actions of Sam Hammam and the immediate aftermath is still painful. It could also be regarded as the El Alemein moment in Leeds recent history as nothing much went right from then on for a long time. Whilst the players from that day have all moved on to other clubs, and in 20 years time the current bunch will all be elsewhere, the fans will have to live with what happens today for 20 years and more. So firstly let's pick a team that can put a bit of trepidation into the Cardiff players rather than encourage them, and then motivate them that it is not a pointless sideshow to the league.
