How about we list some positives about Leeds United Football Club and being a Leeds fan, because we do all at least have that in common.
One each.
I'll start.
1. The fact everyone around the world knows who we are.
In 2009, I went to a match in Soweto between my South African team, Orlando Pirates, and the reigning champions, Supersport United.
It was a glorious day, there were well over 20,000 in the ground, it cost £1.60 to get in and the sweet smell of marijuana was everywhere.
The football was really good, very technical, though a little slower than our league and the pre-match entertainment was brilliant fun and totally organic : an African house DJ (they call it "Doof doof" because of the sound the drums make) was playing a set pitch-side and fans were dancing everywhere, but particularly right in front of him. They'd get up one at a time and show off their moves as well as they're outlandish outfits in the colours of their team.
It was a party atmosphere from start to finish, but do you know what the best part was ??
The fact that over a dozen people came up to me, shook my hand and had a chat about Lucas Radebe, not just a Leeds legend but arguably RSA's greatest ever player and an absolute colossus for arch-rivals Kaiser Chiefs from across the city.
I was so proud that day my heart was bursting with joy
