As the great man's guest must produce his good stories or songs at the evening banquet, as the platform orator exhibits his telling facts at mid-day, so the journalist lies under the stern obligation of extemporizing his lucid views, leading ideas, and nutshell truths for the breakfast table.
Cardinal J. H. Newman, Preface to The Idea of a University, 1852

Leeds home, 20th Dec

Won 3 - 1

17 000 attendance, and the away support was the real thing: seriously impressive singing, as you'd expect from a recently-premiership side. But this resulted in a strange mis-match with what their team was up to on the pitch. The team was a pretty average league one side. It just didn't seem right, support like that really deserves better.
