LEEDS! LEEDS! LEEDS!

Today we attended the Merdeka Viewing party featuring Leeds versus QPR courtesy of Tan Sri Tony Fernandes at SOULed OUT cafe in Sri Hartamas. One of our Leeds member 'tweeted' if we could attend and the reply was - "Bring it on Peacocks". 

Unlike my previous Leeds United gatherings this time Susan and Nicole were present. Here we are in LUFC shirts! Nic had wanted to have her pic taken with Tony and up until now we'd never known she was a fan which had everything to do with the recenlty concluded television reality series The Apprentice Asia.

I had my apprehensions about Tony but after tobight I'd say he is a regular bloke on the inside. He cam dressed casually, obliged every photo session and even came over to our table after that.

Twelve of us were present as a few other guys were out of town. Needless to say we were outnumbered by the QPR fans although I am sure many were not real fans. I must say we did make a good account of ourselves with our lively rendition of the Leeds anthem. We hooked up with five new Leeds fans - Azura, Andrew, Patrick, Elaine and Lakbir. I had a feeling I'd seen Patrick and Elaine before and realised I had seen their wedding video (below) last year. Pat is Leeds-born and has been in Malaysia since 2008.

For the record, Leeds were abysmal and lost 0-1 at home but we made new friends and had a blast. MOT!
