Leeds Captain Snodgrass Targeting Villa On Better Side of Birmingham
Posted on 09 July 2012.
So the latest rumour – and I accept it is a rumour – is linking Captain Snakeinthegrass with a move to Aston Villa. One report, indeed, suggests that Master Bates has asked Villa to give him a figure. That’s interesting. Perhaps Bates is looking to sell anything…

Allardyce To Resign By Christmas
Posted on 08 July 2012.

Leeds Closing In On Star Striker
Posted on 06 July 2012.
OK star striker may be stretching it a bit! In fact, with a record of 23 goals from the last 4 seasons, from a total of 115 games, the term “striker” might be challenged by Trades Descriptions. Even Carlton Goals has a better strike rate than that! So…
