Sedih.. sungguh sedih. Kelab Liga Inggeris yang aku sokong sejak tahun 2000 akhirnya kecundang bak nangka busuk. Petikan daripada laman web ESPNsoccernet:"The end was predictably messy, with a premature pitch invasion and a delayed finish. It was not the first time the adjective 'disgraceful' was used to describe events on the pitch at Elland Road, though usually that involves the players.
Yet, with chaos developing and recriminations beginning, as a metaphor for a fractious season, it was pretty much perfect. And at the eventual conclusion, their manager Dennis Wise admitted, Leeds were relegated.
Schadenfreude, enveloping Yorkshire for much of the season, has spread across various other parts of the country. Delight at Leeds' decline is widespread, yet it is also desperately sad.
Demotion came in the week of the sixth anniversary of their Champions League semi-final against Valencia. Weighed down by a past that is distinctly preferable to their present, Leeds' setbacks invariably coincide with reminders of what they have lost. That now includes Championship football.
By failing to beat Ipswich Town, Leeds effectively ensured they will enter uncharted territory next season: League One."
Nak menangis, tiada gunanya lagi. Turun divisyen tetap turun divisyen. Lagipun, apalah gunanya menangis kerana pasukan yang disokong. Bukan mati pun. Tapi, sokong tetap sokong. Biar tahun hadapan Leeds United hanya akan beraksi di dalam "League One", aku yakin Leeds akan tetap mampu kembali semula ke Liga Perdana Inggeris. Hanya satu syarat. Leeds perlu mengambil iktibar atas apa yang telah terjadi dan mengatur semula langkah untuk kembali berjaya.
Hidup kita ini senantiasa disulami dengan pahit maung dan suka duka. Itu lumrah alam. Manusia berubah. Alam berubah. Persepsi berubah. Fikiran berubah. Duit berubah. Pangkat berubah. Segala-galanya berubah kecuali Tuhan Yang Satu. Selagi mana kita tetap berpegang pada Yang Satu, selagi itulah kita akan mampu menghadapi cabaran dan rintangan mendatang.
