Football-wise, a pretty inauspicious start to the new decade given that we were unceremoniously dumped out of the FA Cup at home by a third division outfit. Moreover, since SAF took over it was the first time we'd lost in the third round and the first time that we'd lost to lower league opposition. Although Leeds deserved to win, for a club that has won one trophy in 35 years the team aren't half a bunch of arrogant - and stroppy - twats; the spirit of Revie and Bremner lives on at Elland Road. I trust that Fergie will now do what we all expect and not treat the Berties with contempt on Wednesday; they may well break their 34 year hoodoo over the next decade but surely not when we have the opportunity to prevent them! The highlight of the day was seeing a fox skipping across the snow by the lineside on the train home.
