chaddy the owl Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I have been told that i will also be wearing the pink kit for this game. That should make the usual abuse i get even more interesting off the away fans. Not only will i get abused off 4500 dirty leeds fans but it will be witnessed by a few million on TV. Fan-bloody-tastic. Im really looking forward to the game really though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rosa Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Club captain Sean Gregan, a former Leeds player, said: "It's quite a bright pink instead of a baby pink, so it's actually quite nice. Maybe we'll get some stick from the Leeds fans, but that will just spur us on even more. If Leeds think we're a soft touch then they'll soon find out come kick-off time." He's gonna 'overcompensate' and get sent off in the first 10 minutes isn't he? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are really sad enough to laugh at us raising money for a breast cancer charity, then they are the laughing stock. I'm sure most people know someone who has been affected by it!

Nervous_Tic Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Anyone fancy trying to translate this? English football, it could well go into Serie A, where the Danish national team spinnaker Simon Kjaer and his team mate results appear in color. But is it in England? Fans of Leeds United have witnessed a sea of atrocities. The proud tradition club has won the English championship three times, most recently in 1992, but in recent years has been steadily going down the hill. Leeds is now only the second best series. Now, there are long-suffering fans have a shock if they choose to take to the Youth Prize at Oldham Athletic. Here the home team is going to stand in Palermo pink. - We may get a word in the way of Leeds' fans, but it will only help to put us up. If Leeds estimate that we are a bunch of vulnerable men, they get a surprise when the judge whistles up-threatening Oldham captain Sean Gregan. Bendtner-hiding Nicklas Bendtner also venture to wear pink. Although it was only the boots that bore the not so masculine color choice was not popular everywhere. At that time, the attacker called a sissy unserious, but Oldham new suits will presumably a somewhat milder medfart. The colorful jerseys will be sold at auction where the proceeds will go to the local hospital. The project is Oldham-captain proud to be involved with. - We hope to raise as much money as possible. And to be honest, sweater is not as bad as I had expected. But I need some more shorts than the ones they have given me today, "says Sean Gregan for the club's website. Profound words there, from Mr Gregan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
