Something odd has happened in the Dunning household recently, and that has been the fact that we've all joined the gym, rather Ski family style. In its favour I can burn off 750 calories in one night without too much bother, against it, I have a curry and 6 to 7 pints every Saturday night and feel guilty - what's that all about ?????!

To be a Leeds fan is the greatest of things right now. 9 wins in 10 matches, and the only draw was Gillingham's 90th minute equaliser. This is as close to heaven as it gets ... OK it would be better if we weren't in  the third division, but hey let's take each bit of happiness as it comes.

Today I took young Harry Cooke, for whom I'm a sort of step-Godfather sort of thing, for his first ever live football match. He was great and seemed to enjoy it, but isn't it sad that his first game was Leeds Un ited v Yeovil when mine was Leeds v Spurs and Billy Bremner was on the pitch???

I know this Blog goes to roughly 17 people 3 of whom know me personally, but I thought I wopuld like to tell the waiting world about a magazone called 'Back Pass', see http://www.backpassmagazine.co.uk/ Not only is it a teriffic magazine because it is about football from my era, but, I actually helped contribute (unpaid!) towards one of the articles!

Please go to the site and buy it, I want it to do well so that I can buy it every month!

Last thought... good to see Amir Khan's progress in the boxing, but even better to see Jimmy Hill's contribution to the Ladbrookes' advert that was shown during the most recent fight's advert break. Jimmy I hate you and love you in equal proportion, which is what you are all about, which means .. er .. I like you erm more. What ?? Oh I don't know, I think it is just that he's an old gadger now and it seems unfair to be horrid about him especially when he made such an enduring mark on the modern game.

Chin, chin,
