Leeds Lives!

The last several months had been a disaster for Leeds United. After being relegated to English Division 1 (the third tier of English football), they were docked 15 points in the standings due to financial troubles. So they started the season 15 points in the hole, at the bottom of (or buried underneath, if you prefer) the table. Seven games into the season, Leeds has won every match, erased their 15 point deficit and, with today's 2-0 win over Swansea, have officially pulled out of the relegation zone, slotting into 18th place.

That's not much to celebrate for such a storied club, but it's a great way to start the turnaround!

Given our recent history and how much we are loathed by other fans, other teams and the FA , we're waiting for them to dock us ANOTHER 15 points just to make sure we don't get out of this division and head upwards again.

Of course, on the pitch, the bubble might burst (we have been VERY lucky in some games so far) and we'd do their work for them.
