Enjoyed the game and the atmosphere in the corner with the Leeds fans, dont know how Obafemi Martins got no stick sat behind us all though. Leeds following was immense for a pre season friendly imo.

Still puzzled at how Alan Smith was given the man of the match award.

"Sh*t scum bas**rd"

"Judas!"

He was given the captains armband too.

If anyone is interested, I have some tickets going spare to meet the LUFC players at the "funday" at ER on Sunday.

Good opportunity for you or your kids to get a shirt or posters etc signed by the 1st team squad.

PM me if you want any, can meet at HQ on Saturday or ER on Sunday.
