Leeds United vs. Manchester United – Villa Park
FA Cup Semi Final – Wednesday 7th April 2004

Squad: Gianluigi Buffon; Carles Puyol, Ian Harte, Lúcio, Walter Samuel; Jermaine Pennant, Francesco Totti (c), Andrés D’Alessandro, Jermaine Jenas; Adriano, Ronaldo


Eddie still hadn’t been found and yet again Kevin Blackwell was at the helm, and once again he saw his team win after a powerful performance in rainy conditions at Villa Park. And the two goals that came in the game came early in the first half. Adriano scored both with the first being the finer of the two.

Andrés D’Alessandro passed the ball out the left to Francesco Totti who skipped past Gary Neville before jinking past Rio Ferdinand. Then when we all thought he was about to pass he back heeled it to Adriano who only had to connect with the ball.

In the final we will meet Arsenal after they beat Coventry City with 3-0 after goals from José Antonio Reyes (2) and Thierry Henry.

Leeds 2: Adriano 14’, 18’
Man Utd 0:

It was a lovely morning; the birds were singing and the sun shone. My morning went on as usual with the exception that O’Flanagan hadn’t come home last night. He usually sits at the breakfast table reading the papers when I get up but not today.

Just as I was about to drive off for work, I got a special delivery. It was a package, a large one. I signed for it and brought it in. I opened the package.

PC Oh, my god!

The box contained O’Flanagan’s head, all blood-spattered. At first I didn’t know what to do but finally I called the police. They arrived 5 minutes later. A police detective named Barry Thompson questioned me.

BT So, tell me what happened this morning.

PC Well, I was about to leave for work when suddenly this package was delivered to me. Stupid as I was I signed for it without thinking what it might have been containing. Anyway, I took it inside and ripped it open and inside… Well, you know what it contained.

BT Mhm… Did O’Flanagan have any enemies?

PC Well, not what I know of.
I didn’t say anything about Eddie, how the hell could I explain that O’Flanagan were about to whack him when he suddenly was whacked himself?

BT So you don’t know anyone that would want O’Flanagan dead?

PC No… But I don’t know if he made enemies when he was in the states. After all he was involved with drug dealers and that sort of people over there.

BT Well, I think this will do for now. If you think of anything else, call me. Here’s my card.
He handed me his card

PC Will do.

I'm back...

After not playing CM for a few months now I got this crave for it and decided to start playing my Leeds game again. And no game without a story so here we go again...


------------

As I sat in my leather chair looking out the window, pondering what had happened the day before, Eddie stepped through the door.

PC What a **** are you doing here?

EG Just wanted to give you my condolences. O’Flanagan seemed like a fine man.

PC Don’t give me that bull****… I know it was you.

EG Do you have anyone, or anything, that can corroborate you’re allegations?

PC I haven’t accused you of anything.

EG But we both know what you implied. You think that I killed O’Flanagan.

PC And now you want to tell me you didn’t do it?

EG I didn’t execute him.

PC No, you let your henchmen deal with that, right?

EG I’m not to be held accountable for what others do. All I know is that I didn’t kill him.

PC I know you had him executed… I know you won’t admit it but as they say: what goes around comes around.

EG That’s right. You should think about that too. After all you sent O’Flanagan to whack me.

PC Yeah, I thought you should be dealt with. You’re a ****ing menace to society.

EG To society? You’ve got that all wrong. I’m only a menace to you Campbell. And O’Flanagan.

PC That’s the same to me. All I know is that you won’t be at the club for very long after this. Mark my words, Eddie. Just mark my words.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs. Leeds United – Molineux
Premier League – Saturday 10th April 2004

Squad: Iker Casillas; Frazer Richardson, Gary Kelly, Dominic Matteo, Michael Duberry; James Milner, Riccardo Montolivo, Aaron Lennon, Seth Johnson (c), Mark Viduka, Simon Johnson


So, Eddie was back in charge again. Unfortunately. I don’t know if he did it just to mess with me but he substituted the whole team, just as he had done in the cups. But since we already was leading the table, with 21 points down to Man Utd who had one match less played than us, I didn’t really care.

And surprisingly a Wolverhampton without any injuries started very edgy and let Aaron Lennon score quite easily after 25 minutes. Perhaps it was due to the injury Joleon Lescott sustained after 5 minutes, I don’t really know. All I know is that they were not playing well.

And it didn’t become any better when Paul Ince had to go off in the 55th minute after colliding with Seth Johnson, which lead to the Wolves midfielder being knocked out cold. Many thought after this that we would score a few more but we didn’t. Much to the lack of concentration and focus up ahead.

This win secured the Premier League win for us with 5 matches left to be played. After playing 33 league matches we had a record of 30 matches won, 1 drawn and 2 lost. Europe here we come!

Wolves 0:
Leeds 1: Lennon 25’,

As I entered “Ferguson’s”, a local Leeds supporter bar which had just opened up a few days ago, the cheers from around 50 individuals greeted me. Of course I was flattered by the attention and sat down at the counter on one of the stools. The owner Mike Ferguson, whom I had become a friend of mine quite recently, approached me.

MF So, Paul… What will it be?

PC Just give me a double vodka.

MF Sure thing. One double vodka coming up.
I looked up at the TV hanging over the bar showing a sports piece about Leeds United

MF Here ya go laddy.
Mike put the glass in front of me.

PC Cheers mate…

MF Nice game yesterday.

PC Well, I don’t know about that but at least we won.
I took a sip of my whiskey

MF Two trophies out of two possible this season. That’s not bad. Eddie has sure made a fine job getting the players together.

PC Eddie, phu… I’m tired of hearing about him. I wish he would just drop dead.

MF Surely, you don’t mean that… Or do you?

PC Oh, I mean it… You would hate that g*t to if you knew the things I knew about him.

MF Care to elaborate?

PC Not at the moment. I will tell all when the time is right.

MF Since I’m going to find out sooner or later, why don’t you tell me now?

PC Oh, all in due time my friend. All in due time.

That's right Rob... Anything's possible in this story.

Blackburn Rovers vs. Leeds United – Ewood Park
Premier League – Sunday 18th April 2004

Squad: Gianluigi Buffon; Carles Puyol, Ian Harte, Lúcio, Walter Samuel; Jermaine Pennant, Francesco Totti (c), Andrés D’Alessandro, Jermaine Jenas; Adriano, Ronaldo


After a good run recently with 5 matches in a row without loosing a single point Blackburn came out confidently in the first half. However when Adriano scored after only 15 minutes a bit of a shock state kicked in at the back of Blackburn’s team. And due to that Adriano could record his second goal 10 minutes later when he flicked the ball past Brad Friedel after being set free by Jermaine Pennant, after he sent a scathing pass through the Blackburn defence.

Adriano looked, and played, very flamboyant in the first half and just before the interval he sealed a hattrick after heading the ball in an angle over Friedel who really should have done better.

I imagine that Aron Winter had a few things to say to his side at the break but if he did say anything, then the players didn’t listen cause they sure as hell kept playing badly. This allowed both Ronaldo and Adriano to score once each in the second half after quite momentous mistakes by the back four.

After the two goals we changed the gear to “cruise control”, except for Andrés D’Alessandro who was sent off after collecting two yellow cards after tow quite nasty tackles from behind. Both tackles he made on Vratislav Gresko, perhaps he held a grudge against him, and the last tackle saw Gresko go off with a twisted ankle.

Blackburn 0:
Leeds 5: Adriano 15’, 25’, 42’, 73’, Ronaldo 68’ (D’Alessandro sent off 82’)

Attendance: 31,324

I was sitting in my office one day, a lovely day it had been so far, when I heard a door slam further down the corridor. Footsteps rapidly came nearer and nearer and a young woman in her early twenties came running past my door. What’s this?, I thought and told Mr McIntyre to go get her and bring her to my office. A few minutes later he returned, carrying the woman over his shoulder. He put her downA beautiful brown-haired, long-legged woman it was. I was attracted to her right from the start.

Woman Put me down, you pervert! Or else I'm going to scream.

PC Do as she says.

DM Sure thing, Mr Campbell.
McIntyre puts her down and leaves the room. Never had I seen anything like her. She was just gorgeous, with brown curly hair and long legs.

Woman What do you want?

PC What do I want? Let’s be civil now shall we? Why don’t we start by introducing ourselves. What's your name?

Woman Mary... Mary Jenkins.
She’s still looking agitated

PC That wasn't so hard now was it? As you might already know, my name is Paul Campbell.

MJ I know.

PC So, what seems to be the matter? We usually don't have people running around crying here.

MJ Nothing is wrong. Nothing at all.
[i]I could see she was obviously lying[/B]

PC And that's why your crying? Well, perfectly normal if you ask me... Come on, you can tell me. I'm an honest fellow.

MJ I don't know...
[I]Long pause[/B]

PC I promise you that you'll feel a whole lot better if you tell someone.

MJ Perhaps... You promise not to tell anyone?

PC You have my word for it... I'll even swear on my mother’s grave.
So, my mother wasn't dead but I wanted to know what was wrong with this girl

MJ Ok, I'll tell you all about it...

A few minutes later I sit flabbergasted in my leather chair, not really believing what I had just heard

PC Eddie?

MJ Yes.

PC Eddie Gray molested you?

MJ Yes.

PC Sexually?

MJ Yes!

PC Are you sure?

MJ Yes, of course I'm sure! You a fecking retard or something?

PC I just can't believe it.

MJ Why? You're not one of his friends or something, are you?

PC I'm certainly no friend of his, no. And I would never want to be either.

MJ I can’t blame you.

PC You know, this is good, real good. Best thing that could ever happen.

MJ What's good about me being molested?

PC Oh, I didn't mean it that way. Of course it's not good that you've been molested but now I have a legit reason for getting rid of this pr*ck. His days at this club are numbered.

MJ Ok, from the tone in your voice I sense it you don’t like him very much.

PC Like him? No, I can’t stand the g*t and now… This is perfect. And I know exactly how to break the news to him… Would you like to attend a dinner party at my house in… say a week or so?

MJ Yeah, sure.

Leeds United vs. Leicester City – Elland Road
Premier League – Sunday 25th April 2004

Squad: Gianluigi Buffon; Carles Puyol, Ian Harte, Lúcio, Walter Samuel; Jermaine Pennant, Francesco Totti (c), Riccardo Montolivo, Jermaine Jenas; Adriano, Ronaldo


Riccardo Montolivo replaced a suspended Andrés D’Alessandro who was sent off in the last game after collecting two yellow cards. However nothing else than a win would do. Leicester were in the bottom three and had not won for three matches.

Ronaldo wasted little time when going forward in the first minute but he was denied by Ian Walker. However Walker had to admit defeat two times before the end of the first half, both goals scored by Ronaldo. The first was the most spectacular. Francesco Totti nicely turned away from his marker, skipped past Keith Gillespie on Leicester’s half before delightfully chipping the ball forward to Ronaldo who in turn scored on a diving header.

The second half was also predominately highlighted by fine play and many chances. We scored, in the space of 60 seconds, when first Jermaine Jeans headed home a fine goal and Ronaldo bagged another hattrick to make his 59th goal in the Leeds shirt this season.

Leicester had a few chances in the end when our lads lost focus but Gianluigi Buffon had no intentions of not collecting his clean sheet bonus on £1,400.

Leeds 4: Ronaldo 15’, 17’, 52’, Jenas 51’,
Leicester 0:
