This is one of those feel good stories. Leeds is in the process of a long slow climb back into the EPL.

I love stories like this. Leeds was dropped from the EPL in 2003-04. Then the Whites hit the skids and went belly up.

Now Leeds is top dog in League One.

Leeds knocked off mighty Manchester United in third round FA Cup action.

Now Leeds is in position to knock off another EPL giant Spurs.

Tottenham had a real chance to put the Whites away but Jermain Defoe missed a PK in the 9^th minute.

This wasn’t the real killer.

Jermaine Beckford nailed a PK in the 90^th minute to tie this sucker up at two all.

Tottenham’s Michael Dawson committed the unpardonable sin when he fouled Beckford in the dying moments of injury time.

The run up. The shot. Just inside the post. GOAL. Now it’s on to Leeds House Elland Road.

Spurs had their chances in their house White Hart Lane.

This was no cigar this time.

Can you say Upset City baby.

We will find out.

Chelsea breezed to a 2-0 win over Preston North End.

The pitch looked like a mud bog.

The match was played at Preston North End’s house.

Reading defeated Burnley 1-0. This gives Reading another notch on their gun belt. First Liverpool now Burnley.

West Brom stopped Newcastle dead in their tracks with a 4-2 win.

The Magpies are currently top dogs in League Championship. 

When the dust settled after Saturdays fourth round FA cup play there were only two upsets. Reading won but I will also call the two all tie between Leeds and Spurs an upset.

This is what makes the FA Cup so much fun.

Surprises always happen.

Manchester United and Hull City was the only clubs to play in the EPL. The Red Devils took the Tigers to the woodshed 4-0.

The Rooney man Wayne Rooney hit for the quadruple.

Was Rooney’s quadruple a warning shot fired at Manchester City?

The crowd at Old Trafford screamed the Glazers must go. They also screamed some other things that I will not print.

It looks like the Philly mentality has hit Man U as well too.

So, be it. But, all real Eagles fans root and cheer for Arsenal.

Gunners fans and Philly fans are kindred spirits.
