Leeds Relegated.

Leeds defeat at Bolton yesterday condemned them to be relegated, and spend atleast one year in the 1st Division. Although Leeds played miserably the whole year round, no one expected it to go down. Everyone was expecting a revival of fortune, a rich vein of form in the last strides, that will save them of the ignominy of relegation. Now that they have finally go down, fans all over can’t help but sympathise with their predicament. The same team that only 2 years ago reached the Champions League semi-final, and for some part of the season challenged ManYoo and Arsenal for the championship will now be struggling with the also-rans. The curtain has been drawn for Leeds. And the manner in whcih it was drawn, in their 3rd last match, when they still had a mathematical chance of survival. Leading 1-0, thanks to a penalty, which they were lucky to be awared in the 1st place, they managed to ruin it all. Mark viduka got into the stupidest of scuffles. getting himself a yellow card, and then followed it up a minute later with another pointless elbow in the face of a Bolton defender; inviting sending off. It seemed that he was not bothered about Leeds fate, and had no desire to put in any fight whatsoever. His sending off depleted an already low on confidence Leeds side even further, and they ended up losing 4-1. The fiery passion of Alan Smith evaporated in the form of tears, as he admitted that he, too, would be leaving the club, and not denting his international prospects. Leeds will experience a mass exodus of stars, and will have to build it’s team again from scratch, though there is hope, as business icons put in bids for Leeds, which will give it’s finances the much required boost, and the leverage to delve into the transfer market, inspite of recording record losses all season long.

Atleast Sarfaraz Najeeb will feel avenged.
