"Eddie Lewis' clinical finish ended Leeds' struggles on the road as they climbed out of the bottom three in the Coca-Cola Championship with a 2-1 victory at Plymouth.
United had gone five games without a victory away from Elland Road in a run stretching back to August 27, but American international Lewis gave their travelling fans something to celebrate with his 61st-minute strike.
It could have been far more comfortable for Dennis Wise's men and Ian Moore was unfortunate to see his first-half snapshot cannon back off the crossbar after Robbie Blake had given them an early lead.
But Plymouth fought hard to salvage something and after Bojan Djordic's leveller just before the interval, they had chances to snatch a point. If United were going to break their wretched away run anywhere it was always likely to be Home Park.
It was 17 years since they were last beaten by Plymouth at that venue, 1-0 in the old Second Division, and before long they looked well on the way to extending that record."
Akhirnya... menang gak team Leeds aku. Hehehe. Walau ramai yang pelik dan tak kurang yang mengutuk bila tahu aku sokong Leeds United, bukannya Manchester United atau Liverpool atau Chelsea atau mana-mana kelab English Premier League yang lain, aku tetap menyokong penuh team yang pernah aku gelar 'Team Budak Jahat' satu ketika dulu.
'Loyalty' pada sesuatu entiti bukanlah mudah di zaman sekarang. Sebagai contohnya, ramai yang beralih pasukan yang disokong apabila pasukan mereka tidak lagi hebat atau gah seperti dulu. Secara tiba-tiba, ramai pula penyokong Chelsea di Malaysia hari ini. Ramai juga yang acapkali berubah kerja kerana syarikat baru menawarkan pakej gaji yang lebih lumayan. Malah, di zaman yang orang kata sebagai zaman digital ni, ramai juga yang memilih untuk acapkali bertukar-tukar pasangan macam orang tua-tua cakap umpama bertukar baju. Nauzubillah..
Aku bukannya menentang perubahan. Perubahan ke arah kemajuan sangat penting pada aku untuk keutuhan sesebuah masyarakat. Yang tak elok nya, cuma kita berubah sekadar ikut-ikutan, bukannya berubah setelah cukup pertimbangan akal fikiran. Berapa ramai orang-orang kita yang menjadi mangsa budaya barat kerana kononnya mengikut arus perkembangan zaman? Fikir-fikirkanlah...
p/s: Go Leeds United! Heheh..
