42 mill with 5 the other way is now already a deal between 45-50 million on Sky.
Will be past the 100 million mark tomorrow

Expect the Granmy Sh@gger to be the next United Pundit on Sly Sports, sadly.

I worked in the building across the road (now the Travelodge) between 1981-84, and went in there a couple of times (a week). Anything to get out of that office!

Going back to the late 70s the Land o' Cakes was always a big City pub. Don't know why as it's a long way from Maine Road but we often ended up in there after staggering up via the Oldham Street pubs and it was always rammed with Blues on matchdays.

He's gonna have to pay legal fees for his missus bullshit high court case somehow.

Fucking hell how? Surely that would kill the advert time with all the erms expanding any analysis by 80%

Yep gone for easy job like most of those rag fuckers do from the fergie era

They were the best of times and...

Most northern footie writers went through the Daily/Sunday Sport sports desk at one time or another.

Sullivan and Gold are obviously huge footie nuts and invested in huge wages to have all the Northern lads and trainees boxed off -The Athletic of its day in terms of sports desk.

From what I recall, Darren Lewis eventually quit because he couldn't cope with pg3 girls and escort girls walking past the desk each day, compromising his strict Christian beliefs!!!

You think he would have had an inkling reading the front of the book each day.

Other initiations I had to do was the Phal curry challenge in 30 seconds and how many dry Jacobs Cream Crackers you could eat in two minutes.

Imagine being 18 and being told to interview Dave Beasant because he broke his foot with a bottle of salad cream.

If you could see through the cigar smoke, I'm sure there would have been a HR office somewhere.

I was earning £50k a year before I was 20 and hanging out with Lindsey Dawn McKenzie!!

She was rough!!

Hanging out with, or of?

I seem to recall Dean Holdsworth leaving his wife for Lindsey Dawn McKenzie and his missus being interviewed about it… she simply said… dunno what he sees in her our dog is better looking !

Listened to Talksport on the way home (i know, i know) they had a Leeds fan on saying Phillips has gone to a better club, not a bigger club which got me and my brother thinking what the f*ck?
So my brother did a bit of googling…

City formed : 1880 (St Marks)
Leeds formed : 1919
Which means we won 3 x 2nd division titles and an FA Cup even before they were formed!

City highest attendance : 84,569
Leeds highest attendance : 57,892

2003 before the takeover (when we were shit)
City average attendance : 46,245
Leeds average attendance : 39,120

So now the shit will hit the fan and lots of “journo’s” will be writing bollocks about Leeds being a historic club and us with no history blah blah blah - just remember the above!

Any more interesting facts from other blues will be more than welcome

Welcome Kalvin Phillips - up yours Leeds!
Your still small for a one-town-club
