    Matches – 23 January 2010 – Tottenham H 2 Leeds United 2 FA Cup fourth round – White Hart Lane – 35,750 Scorers: Beckford 2 (52 mins, 90 mins pen) Tottenham Hotspur: Gomes, Hutton, Dawson, Bassong, Bale, Rose (Palacios 57), Kranjcar (Keane 71), Modric, Jenas, Defoe, Crouch (Pavlyuchenko 71) Leeds United: Ankergren, Crowe, Bromby, Kisnorbo, Hughes, Howson, Doyle (Becchio 81), Kilkenny, Johnson (White 88), Snodgrass, Beckford In January 2010 the glory, glory days were back in an emphatic way for Leeds United: no sooner had the League One leaders pulled off an extraordinary FA Cup third round victory against Manchester United at Old Trafford, than they learned that they had been paired with Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane in the competition‟s next stage. Tottenham had been one of the main beneficiaries of Leeds United‟s financial collapse of the previous decade, signing a number of former Elland Roaders during the fire sales that had been necessary to ensure the club‟s survival: Paul Robinson, Robbie Keane, Aaron Lennon and teenage starlet Danny Rose. Jonathan Woodgate had also arrived in North London after stays in Newcastle, Madrid and Middlesbrough. The pairing of the two clubs brought memories and inevitable thoughts of „what might have been‟ for United fans, and Leeds manager Simon Grayson acknowledged as much in the days leading up to the clash. “I think, regardless of what‟s in the opposition squad, there‟s a sadness of what‟s happened to the club and the decline... Not so long ago this club was in Europe and they were in the top six and wanting to improve to get to where they were 30 years ago under the likes of Don Revie, Billy Leeds manager Simon Grayson during the intense Cup-tie Bremner and Johnny Giles.

  • The Changing Dynamic of the MLS Decision
    Leaving Home – The Fresh Path to Prolonging a Career For aging Irons, MLS provides an inviting alternative to facing rejection As the final cogs of the English National Team’s “Golden Generation” come to grips with the unyielding procession of time and announce their respective international retirements, it comes as natural to speculate over how long it will take them to leave, or in less-fortunate cases, when they will be forced out of, the Premier League. Players such as Ashley Cole, John Terry, and our good friend, Frank, have recently come face to face with the harsh reality of progress, which rears its head and roars out its ugly promise of short-term contract extensions, pay decreases, and a warm seat on the bench. While Terry continues to hold onto his place at Chelsea like a loose tooth on its last stringy sinew, Cole has already been enjoined to leave the West London limelight. After his omission from the World Cup squad in May, he relayed his decision to draw the curtains on a prolific international career; now at Roma, the man-also-known-as-Cashley is free to watch his playing days dwindle at a comparatively safe distance from all English-speaking media. Regular Three Lions’ squad members hog the largest pieces of pie, in terms of press coverage; this recycling process of old-for-new, weary-for-fresh, however, occurs uniformly across all levels of the football pyramid. At West Ham, these exoduses are all the more prevalent; it’s no secret that the conservative strategy employed by Allardyce over the past two seasons, which focused on bringing in seasoned faces to do a younger man’s job for a fraction of the price, left many of the Irons’ on-field employees searching for work as the Brazilian heat boiled their compatriots’ dreams of World Cup glory.
