Why Leeds getting relegated could be the end of the world Odd thing to say surely, seeing as Leeds United have so many rivalries and are generally one of the most hated teams in England. But I decided to look at the relationship between the safety of the world and the form of Leeds United (because I have nothing better to do while 'studying' for A-Levels) Doomsday Clock The Doomsday clock was devised by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists Science and Security Board. It began in 1947 and was originally an analogy for showing how close the world is to nuclear war. It began at 7 minutes to midnight and has fluctuated ever since, at 'midnight' a nuclear war begins. For more information take a look at this wikipedia article and this website that logs the times and reasons for changing the times. Leeds United Leeds were a fairly insignificant club for their early history, bounding between the First and Second division until the 1961 appointment of Don Revie. During his 13 year stint he guided Leeds to two First Division Championships, an FA Cup, a League Cup, and two Inter-Cities Fairs Cups (the precursor to the Europa League). He left in 1974 to succeed Alf Ramsey as England manager. Replacing him was Brian Clough who was dismissed after a tumultuous 44 days in charge. Later that season Leeds were cheated out of lost a European Cup Final to Bayern Munich. They spent most of the 1980's in the Second Division before Howard Wilkinson got them promoted and won the last First Division title in 1992, with a certain egotistical Frenchman leading the line. The 90's and early 2000's were successful including a UEFA cup semifinal and a Champions League semi final. However it came all crashing down with their financial implosion. For the rest of the 2000's and 2010's they have been in the Championship aside from a three year stint in League One (during which Swindon Town soundly beat Leeds 3-0 home and away). State of the World The 1950's were considered to be dangerous according to the Doomsday clock, due to the Korean War and the Soviet Union, France, and the United Kingdom developing nuclear weapons. The 1960's were safer as were the 70's (during which oh so coincidentally Leeds had their best period of success). The 1980's were considered to be very dangerous as the Soviet Union was on the edge of implosion before tensions soothed in the 90's and early 2000's. Recently North Korea have been going full Newcastle and acting like they are big despite being from a shithole, but despite this everyone acts like they are dangerous because they have a new leader and so the Doomsday Clock has recently reached one of its lowest points. So is there any link? Maybe. Leeds being in the limelight does give everyone a common enemy to band around to hate so there is some credibility to the theory. But regardless I ran the numbers and produced these graphs. These graphs show a definite link, but I decided to use the Pearson product moment correlation coefficient (a real mouthful though probably not the biggest for some readers). And using my recently acquired knowledge of Stats 1 & 2, I tried to interpret this. I came out with an r value of -0.5803, which implies a negative correlation. r values have a value of -1<r<1 with 1 being absolute positive correlation, -1 being negative, and 0 meaning no correlation. A value of -0.5803 is so high that, according to my A-Level maths data book, this is above the critical value for a correlation test at the 0.5% significance level. Therefore there is less than a 1 in 200 chance that the end of the world is not caused by Leeds doing poorly

requires using the cached version on google to get around the paywall https://www.spectator.co.uk/2017/05/arsenal-fans-need-to-put-up-or-shut-up-about-arsene-wenger/ quote:I had 20 good years supporting Manchester United but now I follow Arsenal, and I find the treatment of the magnificent Arsène Wenger by large sections of my fellow fans mystifying and depressing. I supported Manchester United because when Rupert Murdoch bought top-tier English football in the early 1990s and started marketing it aggressively at the middle classes — who, like me, had previously had no interest in the sport — United were the only logical choice. They played pulsating, swaggering football and often scored thrilling wins from seemingly impossible situations. The young men who made up the spine of the team had grown up together in a boys’ own story and — most importantly — they had a manager in Sir Alex Ferguson who was a high priest of romance.

http://www.stakeholdergroup.com/opinion/why-barca-took-the-shirt-off-his-back/ However, perhaps the greatest compliment paid to Scholes came just before and after his final minutes as a professional player. In the aftermath of United’s Champions League final hammering at the hands of Barcelona, Scholes could be seen strutting off the Wembley pitch wearing the shirt of Barca midfielder Andres Iniesta, having been pursued by the Spaniard straight after the final whistle to swap jerseys. What Scholes did not realise at the time was that Iniesta only got to make the request after drawing lots with four of his team-mates – Lionel Messi, Xavi, Pedro and Sergio Busquets. That’s right. In the countdown to the biggest club football match on the planet, the best player on the planet (Messi, of course) was locked in a battle with four of his team-mates for the right to ask Scholes for his jersey at the end of the game. This on the back of Barcelona manager Pep Guardiola stating instantly, when asked, that Scholes would be the Man United player he would most like to have in his team.

I was at a football game in Spain two weeks ago, and was also in Italy late last year to see another match. What I noticed was the amount of women at the matches either on their own, with kids or a partner. I would take a stab and say at least 1 in every 6 was female. With us wanting to continue our trend and be the most supported club, could we tap into this market and encourage females to attend games? It doesn't mean you have to bring your wife along but, is there potential to fill out more season tickets and matches? It would generate extra income. Some ideas... - Upgrading the toilets so women feel comfortable. Maybe include a hairdryer and some perfumes on sale. - Bring a female friend to the game and get in half price. Women love going to events in groups. Like a group train ticket discount, this is something we could offer in one of the stands - Make one or half of the stand for all females and allow them to drink e.g. 3 drinks per half. Women love to socialise with a glass of rose. Again it would make them feel comfortable with the atmosphere, surrounded by fellow girls. - A half time event to pass the time e.g. bingo. We do the half time raffle but perhaps a bingo game where we could have an ex player call out numbers could work? £1000 prize. Some special guests could be nominated in advance e.g.Amo as the ladies loved him - A choice of food e.g. salads or baked potatoes to encourage them to spend money at the game. Not many women at Ibrox eat curry pies etc so this could go down well with a change of menu for the ladies stand. The extra income would help us invest in the stadium and transfer kitty.
