Reports came out today that Aston Villa have decided to release former Leeds loanee Eric Lichaj when his contract expires next month. I remember Lichaj fondly from his time at Elland Road and would like to see him join the club in the summer.
Not only is he a good RB, he also has a killer last name, that's gotta count for something to right? He's also played quite a lot of Premier League games for Aston Villa since his Leeds days, so I think that us signing up Lichaj would show a bit of ambition - Whether Sam Byram leaves or not I still think Lichaj will be an important player at ER. Sam can be pushed forward, or maybe we could even allow the 19 year old a few rests during the season, luxury!
So Brian, get on the phone to Eric's agent and sign him up.

Player of the year 2012/13
It's time for the final award of the easily forgetable 2012/13 season - and this time it's the big one, player of the year.
As every other Leeds fan I've been very impressed by Sam Byram and also gave him the young player award (http://aroundmyleedsunited.blogspot.dk/2013/05/young-player-of-year.html) but for me there is only one guy who deserves player of the year, and he deserves it for several reasons.
A well deserved player of the year in my humble opinion, now it's time for us to look forward to the new season and hopefully better times ahead, thanks for reading during the season - best fans in the world!

- I'm confident that without his many goals prior to his sale we'd be playing League One come August
- I think everybody will agree that our promotion hopes, slim as they were, totally vanished when he left
- We've all, almost, realised what a class goalscorer we had after seeing his replacement being worse then Billy Paynter

Young player of the year
It's time for young player of the year and it's pretty obvious that it can only be Sam Byram. I'm not sure how many Leeds fans knew who this kid was 12 months ago, but I'm pretty confident that every Leeds fan knows him now.
Sam has had an amazing season, he's played in every game but that last two and have been one of our best and most consistent performers, it's very clear that we have a wonderful player on our hands, whether he is still here after the summer transfer window we'll see, but I really hope so, this guy is, in my humble opinion, a future Leeds captain.
So, young Sam, thanks for a great season, it's safe to say that apart for TOMA and Warnock fucking off you been one of the only highlights!

Game of the year 2012/13
The game I'm talking about is our home game against the Owls from Sheffield, a local derby with extra attention on it due to a supposed Leeds fan running onto the pitch at Hillsborough and hitting Owls keeper Kirkland and the game was also a early kick off for perhaps the same reason.
A few of the Danish Whites were present at Elland Road and the texts I got at half time were not to positive as we were down 0-1. In a few minutes in the second half Luke Varney suddenly decided to score two great goals and give Leeds a lead, and allthough the final 25 minutes were very hard to get through we did it! A win for Leeds and a win for new manager Brian McDermott, but most of all a win for the great fans who had endured so much agony during the season, I'll admit that the tension was so hard on me that I actually shed a tear at FT, I guess thats just how much passion I have for our club.
Congrats to Luke Varney, this will probably be the first and last time you're mentioned in one of my award blogs.

Goal of the year 2012/13
It's been a forgettable season for Leeds United, the highs have been few and far between so my awards for Player of the year, Young player of the year, Goal of the year and match of the year have been quite easy, I hope to have a harder time finding them next season.
I'll start out with Goal of the year, and could it be anything else then the Argentine Becchios goal against Chelsea? No it could not.
The goal had it all, great play from defence to attack and a clinical finish as we knew and loved from Becchio, furthermore it gave us belief that we'd actually beat Chelsea out of the cup, if only for 30 mins, all in all a great goal and a nice memory to have.. Who knows when we'll be able to meet/beat Chelsea again?
The goal also came just a few days before the, supposed, GFH Capital revolution was to begin at ER, well, we're still waiting but enough about that.
Congrats Luciano on your last goal of the season for Leeds.

So bye bye Colin
So Neil Warnock finally left Leeds United, I know he will disagree when he reads this (and he will..) but I actually think he's left us in a worse state then he got us. He managed to sell some the decent players around, Snoddy, Becchio & Clayton and replaced them with "working men" like Austin, Varney, Green & Diouf - Not impressive.
And for a team of "workers" I don't think I've ever seen so little passion, so something was wrong, the passion that Warnock had in Sheffield United was dead and never arrieved with him at Elland Road. And his man management have been a complete joke, the whole blame game he plays week in week out is something you see in kindergarden, not something you should see a man with so many years in the game do.
His post game interviews have been somewhat comical and has made him the laughing stock among Leeds fans on Twitter, not once have I heard him take any blame for results or/and awful play, and not once has he blamed one of "his" boys (Kenny, Pearce, Pelts, Brown, Varney etc.) but the players he inherited from Grayson have been given loads of stick, the likes of McCormack and Lees must feel happy today knowing that they'll never have to deal with him again, hell Tom Lees might even crack a wee smile!
So even if I think it's three-four months to late I'd still like to applaud that he's out of the club, now all we need is a "New Shirt, New Start, Part Deux"
Colin Wanker, have a nice life down south, don't ever come back to ER and thanks for NOTHING!
