An American photographer on vacation was inside Westminster Abbey taking photographs when he noticed a golden telephone mounted on the wall with a sign that read '£10,000 per call'.

The American, being intrigued, asked a priest who was strolling by what the telephone was used for.

The priest replied that it was a direct line to heaven and that for £10,000 you could talk to God.

The American thanked the priest and went along his way.

Next stop was in Lincoln

There, at the cathedral, he saw the same golden telephone with the same sign under it.

He wondered if this was the same kind of telephone he saw in London and he asked a nearby nun what its purpose was.

She told him that it was a direct line to heaven and that for £10,000 he could talk to God.

'O. K., thank you, ' said the American.

He then travelled to York, Durham and Liverpool

In every cathedral he saw the same golden telephone with the same '£10,000 per call' sign under it.

The American, decided to travel to Elland road to see if they had the same phone.

He arrived in Elland road and again, as he entered the stadium, there was the same golden telephone, but this time the sign under it read '50 pence per call. '

The American was surprised so he asked Bielsa about the sign. 'Sir, I've travelled all over England and I've seen this same golden telephone in many churches. I'm told that it is a direct line to heaven, but everywhere the price was £10,000 per call. Why is it only 50pence here? '

Bielsa smiled and answered, 'You're in Elland road now, lad. it's a local call. '
⚽️⚽️ MOT ALAW.

Just had a thought that sounds daft. If the season is voided and no promotion, would the parachute payments for the demoted teams then go to the top 3 in the championship. Sounds dafter still now.

Whitesee, was thinking the same should happen, look at Norwich City got money when they went up now will be paid for going down, sounds to me D Smith is balancing her books.

Don't know the answer Whitey. All I do know is that, whatever happens it will be a mess for somebody.

leodis, she has stated they have no money, I say you get paid to go up but not if you come right back down that money should go to lower division to help them, look at us we had no money in 16 years,

Just watching the damned utd again, haven't seen it for a few years, had a few beers and saw Mr Hunter's name, takes me back.
I was 6 in 1974 and hooked on leeds when i was given a token from the ESSO garage from my dads mate from Leeds. I'm a southern lad, but Leeds crazy, i am more fanatic now than I ever was, but the names on the film take me back. Hunter, Brenner, Giles McQueen etc. The days when if you were lucky enough to get a top, let alone a kit and play footy on fa cup day with your mates, the away kit way always the hard one to get lol. Yellow admiral away strip always looked great, but tight to wear now though lol.
Nice to reminisce, so if you have some stories guys/ gals please share, only the famous have their histories remembered and they only last a generation. I have just launched a new day in history, it's not a wind up and it's called VAC day, Victory Against Corona, please share this, VE day all over again, but with more beer and less code breaking!
Stay safe, stay in, don't stand so close to me or the police will tell you off and look forward to VAC day when you can visit the road called Elland. X.

Great memories Dougie - thanks for sharing.

That took me back Dougie. Watching the Cup Final on tv then running down to the park to play it all over again with your mates.
Our front room was Southish facing so we had to draw the curtains to see anything on the (b/ w) screen. I used to say "hope the neighbours don't think someone has died"

Straight after the Cup Final win against Arsenal in 1972, we replayed it in our street with a Johnny Giles Target Ball. Anyone remember those?

It is excellent dougie, I didn't realise that in the great days of DR we went so many games unbeaten against them even though I saw many of the games. Still hurts seeing the clips of the Bayern game.

I actually watched the revie cough interview on you tube straight after the damned utd, a great watch and a dignified man he was.
