I don't know, I think Leeds United and Steve Evans are a perfect match for each other.
Steve Evans is a convicted tax fraudster who thinks it acceptable to expose himself to women whilst verbally abusing them.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...8/Steve-Evans-ban-Six-matches-3-000-fine.html
I think he'll fit in right at home at Leeds United. And he'll get them out of that division in no time at all

tough game for Darlo tonight v Workington with only one available defender!
In other Darlo news club legend (and i mean LEGEND) Ron Greener has died, he was 81. He played 490 first team games at centre half between 1955 and 1967. He played in the 4-1 thrashing of Chelsea in the 4th round of the FA cup in 30 January 1958.
http://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/news/13879665.Darlington_FC_legend_Ron_Greener_has_died/
That game came after Darlo threw away a 3-0 lead at Stamford Bridge. Darlo got hammered 6-1 by Wolves in the 5th round in front of 55,778 at Molineux! The final was won that year by Bolton who beat Manchester United 2-0 through Nat Lofthouse. United were struglging under the blow of the Munich Air disaster.

Oldham have won for only second time in 24 matches. 
Swindon 1-2 Oldham
Our next game is local derby match against Rochdale (at Spotland) in which I be Att and after this result I hope Oldham can go there and win just like last season.

Marine 2...Hyde United 3
Hyde went 2-0 in the first 15 minutes then Marine fought back with two goals in two minutes mid-way through the second half but Hyde then raised their game and pressed the Marine defence constantly and Scott Spencer (who else) scored the winner for Hyde in the 90th minute.
Hyde have now won 5 of their 8 away league matches this season and are now up to 11th place in the league

Having just checked, Blyth Spartans, who are second, have the same amount of points and a game in hand against a team in fifteenth.
Yesterday, York managed a 2-2 draw at home against Dagenham and Redbridge. Their next match is against AFC Wimbledon.

Only one team of the 92 league sides was in the exact same place as 30 years ago, that team being Huddersfield Town, 13th in what should still be called Division 2.

Not all of the younger forum members will believe that Oldham Athletic were once one of the founder members of the English Premiership....
Stockport County were once in the Championship but now play in a low level non-league division, having suffered relegation on what seemed like season after season.

It doesn't show quite the true position as it omits teams like Darlo, Chester and Halifax who have fallen out of the league.
Darlo were bottom of the league that day!

UEFA appear to have taken exception to the Manchester City fans booing during the playing of the anthem associated with UEFA competitions and the UEFA match representative is said to have submitted a formal report on the matter.

If this is similar to their actions regarding financial fair play Manchester City need not worry

Off up to Huddersfield tomorrow to see Derby take on the Terriers. Hoping for a win but also hoping that Chris Powel has some success with Huddersfield given that he is an ex Derby player and a damn good one at that.

Along with an artificial surface, stands on all four sides of the ground and Andy Richie banging in the goals! Manchester United signed a full back from Oldham called Dennis Irwin; what a player he was.

Yes I heard that on Radio 5 Live last night. Given how badly the City fans were treated over the Moscow fiasco you can hardly blame them for having issues with UEFA.

First Leg at Old Trafford the Manchester United team was:
Pilkington, Parker, Irwin, McGibbon, Pallister, P Neville (Cooke 46), Davies (Bruce 58), Beckham, Sharpe, McClair, Giggs.
(McGibbbon was making his debut was sent off and never played for United again)
Lost 3-0
Second leg at Bootham Crescent:
Schmeichel, G Neville, Bruce, Pallister, Sharpe, Scholes, Beckham, Giggs, Cole, Cooke, Cantona
Manchester United won 3-1 but out 4-3 on aggregate.

Back in 1995 wasn't it, early rounds of the League Cup?
I think the 2nd Leg was played the night before I went to France on holiday

As a Manchester City fan of many years standing I am appalled that my club will be welcoming a despotic dictator who presides over a regime of unparallelled corruption and who has scant regard for human rights. Chinese leader Xi Jinping will be there as well.

Pilkington or no Pilkington, York still completed a considerable achievement. Beating Phil Neville, David Beckham and Ryan Giggs 3-0 away is an amazing feat. Even in the home leg they prevented Manchester Utd from having a clean sheet, whereas they'd had one in the first leg.

I hope you have time to sample some of my home town's watering holes, and that we can raise our game like we seem to against the bigger teams in the division. However if we play anything like we did on Tuesday (when we were rather lucky to beat a certain pretend team from a Buckinghamshire New Town) you could have a cricket score!
Looking forward to seeing Jacob Butterfield back in Huddersfield and hope our midfield can keep him quiet. If I was offered a point before kick-off I'd bite your hand off though!

I know Cameron is desperate to please the Chinese dictator here this week but I would have thought the Chinese must be laughing their clogs off.
Sun Jihai incidentally is the player described as "Number 17 – that'll be the Chicken Chow Mein, then" in a BBC live football commentary.

I don't think many will find that joke amusing.
Sun's arrival at Man City is a milestone for Chinese football, and football in Asia in general, and that in itself deserves recognition imo, even if the national team is utterly rubbish at the moment. Maybe it is not so important for you, but for a club with a worldwide vision, it is a very worthwhile effort.
It wouldn't have anything to do with the Chinese leader, who is actually a very popular figure believe it or not, being involved somehow would it? But he is the leader of the communist party so must be a bad guy and anything he touches must be bad. :roll:

yes of little faith - i told you Hyde were in a false position ( see above!)
BTW it is alleged that Darlo may have fielded an ineligible player in a tin pot county cup game. Stand by for points deductions, a relegation to the dog and gun Tuesday night 5 a side league and a £4.5bn fine from our good friends at the FA.
(Something to do with international clearance - in the Evo stick league! -Who would have thunk it)
