I DON'T need to check out the weather reports on the telly to see what the temperature is going to be, because all I need to do is look at the football instead.

You can tell when it's turning a bit chilly because a lot of players take to the pitch wearing gloves, and now a thing called a Snood wrapped around their necks.

I'd love to know though who it was who started the craze of wearing gloves during a match, because he has a lot to answer for I reckon.

WE needed those three points on Saturday against Burnley, and although it wasn't pretty at times at least it brought an end to three losses prior to the game.

I knew though that the attendance would be low again and it looks like the average gate at the Ricoh is going to be under fifteen thousand this season.

Still we've all written enough now on this subject and we just have to accept that certain fans will only turn up for local derbies, cup games, and Leeds United.
