Currently watching the Mark Viduka documentary and man..I think I'm falling in love a bit too hard with this little club. I still love LFC dearly but..seeing how many ex LFC and LUFC players who becoming legends for both club is outstanding. That's also maybe why I feel an instant connection when watching this club more closely.
Leeds feels a bit like an innocent version of LFC almost before they become such giant.
And Mark Viduka himself..man...what a player he was, watching those snippets of him playing. What a great player and deservedly club legend.

I need help if you are willing. I'm on another 4 hour car drive and my brain has decided I need to write a crack fic, but I need to come up with names that each of the hacketteers would name a cat (one cat per person). I know Dylan's would be Schrodinger (obviously) but I need ideas for the others. Any thoughts?
I LOVE NAMING PETS! This is perfect for me. 🐈
Nick: Viduka, after former Australian football player Mark Viduka (I just googled famous Australian footballers and picked the likeliest sounding one.)
Abi: Jiji, after the cat in Kiki’s Delivery Service.
Emma: Chanel. Girl has expensive taste (callout to The Chanels from Scream Queens).
Ryan: Vincent, after Vincent Price.
Jacob: Cheesesteak. He’s just hungry.
Laura: Herriot, after the author and veterinary surgeon James Herriot
Max: Banjo. Literally just the first word he thought of.
Kaitlyn: Oakley, after Annie Oakley.
Feel free to use or not use but I enjoyed coming up with these!

Favorite non-European (and non-South American) old/retired football player?
For women's:
I love a lot of the former USWNT players like Mia Hamm, Abby Wambach, Brandi Chastain, Michelle Akers and Brianna Scurry.
Also, Homare Sawa and Aya Miyama who played for the Japanese NT, Sun Wen who played for the Chinese NT.
Mercy Akide and Perpetua Nkwocha who played for the Nigerian NT. Genoveva Añonman who played for Equatorial Guinea.
For men's:
For Australian NT (didn't include any female Australian NT players because our best players are currently playing): Tim Cahill, Mark Viduka, Mark Schwarzer and Mark Bosnich (who had a crazy life).
Special mention to the 1974 Australian squad who somehow managed to qualify for the world cup despite mostly being part time salesmen who played for amateur clubs.
Park Ji-Sung for South Korean NT, Hidetoshi Nakata who played for the Japanese NT (Perugia 1998/1999 kit will always be iconic).
George Weah for Liberian NT, Didier Drogba for Ivory Coast NT.

Jesse Marsch met ses deux plus grandes menaces, Rodrigo et Harrison, sur le banc, bien que cela signifie un autre départ pour l'excitant Wilfried Gnonto, qui devrait faire avancer les fans itinérants.Le banc de Mark Hudson est intéressant d'une autre manière : il donne un avant-goût d'une équipe senior à deux adolescents, Morgan Wigley, un attaquant des moins de 18 ans, et Lewys Benjamin, un gardien qui semble n'avoir que 16 ans. Benjamin est presque hors de portée de Google, bien qu'il y ait cette histoire à propos de sa signature pour les moins de 9 ans en 2015. Si la légende est exacte, c'est le grand enfant sur la photo, le deuxième à partir de la droite. Les deux adolescents sont sûrement un héros de la FA Cup qui attend de se produire.Mis à jour à 08h42 HNEil y a 33 mois08.12 HNEFeuille d'équipe : Leeds📋 Votre #LUFC Onze de départ... pic.twitter.com/qwj94ntFCS– Leeds United (@LUFC) 8 janvier 2023 il y a 35 mois08h10 HNEFeuille d'équipe : Cardiff🔢 Votre City line-up pour notre @EmiratesFACup choc!#CityAsOne | #EmiratesFACup pic.twitter.com/i4yu3wXEB0– Cardiff City FC (@CardiffCityFC) 8 janvier 2023 Mis à jour à 08h10 HNEil y a 45 mois08h00 HNEPréambule : regarder en arrière avec rancoeurAprès-midi à tous et bienvenue dans une rencontre de la FA Cup chargée d'histoire. La dernière fois que Cardiff a diverti Leeds en FA Cup, il y a 21 ans cette semaine, le match était si captivant qu'il a fini par avoir le sien. Page Wikipédia.Leeds était en tête du classement – ​​oui, le tableau de la Premier League – tandis que Cardiff était 10e du troisième niveau. Leeds avait Rio Ferdinand, Alan Smith, Mark Viduka et Robbie Fowler, mais Cardiff avait Ninian Park. Le décrire comme une fosse aux ours reviendrait à risquer un procès de la part des ours.Effectivement, Leeds a perdu. Le choc les a plongés dans un marasme (aucune victoire en championnat pendant deux mois, selon mon collègue omniscient Rob Smyth) et le marasme s'est transformé en spirale. Cinq ans et demi plus tard, l'équipe du troisième niveau, c'était eux.C'est, bien sûr, un Leeds très différent qui fait le voyage au Pays de Galles aujourd'hui. Leur manager américain aux yeux brillants, Jesse Marsch, apporte si peu de bagages qu'il n'a même jamais été responsable d'un match de FA Cup. Et Ninian Park a cédé sa place au moins évocateur Cardiff City Stadium. Mais l'histoire a l'habitude de traîner. Les deux équipes se sont rencontrées 22 fois depuis cette journée toxique en 2002 et le score est de 14-3 contre Cardiff.Ils languissent peut-être près du bas du championnat, mais Cardiff est au-dessus de Blackpool, qui a démoli Nottingham Forest hier. Et qu'est-ce qu'un gouffre de 26 places entre ennemis ? Si Cardiff peut faire face à l'hyperactivité de Leeds, cela pourrait être un classique.Les sujetsFA CupVille de CardiffLeeds UnitedRéutiliser ce contenu

What would Australia do to turn back the clock and have the team that contained Schwartzer, Kewell, Thompson, Viduka and Cahill available again?
The team now is a reflection of an underinvestment in football in this country and it’s a crying shame because they had a golden generation to build from.

Ard Carraigh
Ard Carraigh is the capital of Kaedwen, a hardy fortress city with few of the comforts and amenities you might find in other capitals. It sits near the center of the country, not associated with any lake or river. The legendary founder of Henselt’s line, Viduka, was led to this unusual site by a unicorn, which now features on the flag of Kaedwen. In town, locals are likely to harass visitors who appear too “foreign” or ostentatious. It is a rough town for non-humans, though dwarves are grudgingly accepted. Henselt’s palace is on a bluff just north of the main city and access for anyone other than nobles and military elite is limited.

Written and directed by Quebec filmmaker Ève Lamont, this charming, heartwarming film follows the challenges and joys of the 42 members of Gatineau’s Co-operative d’habitation St-Louis, including the filmmaker’s mother.
“I’ve wanted to take a look at the cooperative housing model for a while,” explains Lamont, who has tackled many social justice issues during her 30-year career making documentaries. “When I focused my camera on the St-Louis co-op, where my mother lives, I saw a particular kind of multicultural, multigenerational melting pot – a better way of living together.”
At a time when Canada is facing escalating housing prices, co-operative housing offers a viable, democratic and sustainable solution to the affordability crisis. In the Ottawa region alone, there are 65 housing co-operatives providing 3,600 homes for people with low and moderate incomes, including seniors, families, newcomers and those living with a disability.
Tickets $10: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/ottawa-premiere-of-my-moms-co-op-tickets-212566119987 For pay-what-you-can, e-mail us at [email protected]

From the Palestinian refugee camps that forged his conscience, to the international mobilization for his release, we will discover the man who has become one of the longest-held political prisoners in Europe. The screening will be followed by a short discussion featuring Nahla Abdo Professor of sociology at Carleton University and Hassan Husseini Organizer with Labour for Palestine and National Negotiator with Public Service Alliance of Canada to discuss the film and actions that have demanded freedom for Abdallah, such as the global campaign in October.

“Can’t sleep?” (from Saskia, before the battle of Kaer Morhen maybe?)
“Hmm? Oh... hello, your highness. Thought everyone else around here was asleep... or having one last night together. Care for a drink? Just preparing for the day... the battle... ahead of us. Readying the armory, my weapons, equipment and potions, and going over everything I’ll need to know. What few records of the Wild Hunt exist in the Witcher Codex. Viper School had the most on them, all aspects of the occult really... an utter disgrace and crime what the Usurper did to their library. Never saw em’, but always believed in the Wild Hunt, growing up, even if it was mostly folk stories to scare children. Listened to every tale about them that I could. Ran into a mad, drunken fellow a couple decades back who claimed to have been abducted by them. Can’t say I’d ever imagined them coming here though. Ready to finally reduce this keep to rubble, where so many have tried.”
Eskel’s deep, calm voice observed a bit wryly, marred features smiling faintly the southern Queen in exile’s way. Yellow, bestial eyes studied the blonde, rather striking and well built, young woman closely. He’d not really spoken to Queen Saskia since her arrival at Kaer Morhen beyond his courtesies and greetings... but then he hadn’t spoken much to the others either. A colorful assortment of characters though... and the most people who had been at Kaer Morhen in decades. It was strange to play host to so many... but it was a welcome necessity. They weren’t about to turn away help where it was being offered. People willing to risk their lives fighting against a mythical advanced elven race of dimensional conquerors, for a school of four outcasts in the Blue Mountains of Kaedwen. 
In defense of it and Ciri, someone most of them didn’t even know. Especially considering they had all dropped matters important to themselves to be here, including the reclamation of her throne, in her case, the fight for her own people. Liberating Upper Aedirn from the Empire. It was good to find out there were still decent people in a world such as theirs. That there were people who would still fight for the Witchers, after all their schools had sacrificed for the ungrateful Continent over the centuries. He gestured invitingly to the seat beside him, for her to join him at the table of the main hall, where he sat going through a pile of various old dusty texts and tombs that comprised the Witcher Codex. He was having some difficulty, not many of the texts spoke of the Wild Hunt, beyond the hearsay and rumors the various Witchers had overheard and recorded while on the path. At last he looked up again from the book he held her way, shrugging his spike covered shoulders slightly.
“Still, I’m glad Destiny has deigned for me to be here this time. Not afraid. This is where I belong. I wasn’t here during the pogrom this school endured, decades back. Small handful of us were out on the Path at the time, the rest of us were here when it happened. I should have been here to fight and die if need be defending my home from that enraged horde and the scheming mages leading them, alongside my brothers. Instead of returning to a ruined keep of corpses and old memories, save for Vesemir. Still regret that... maybe this is my chance to set that absence right again.”
The Witcher shared with her calmly, thinking back to that time, coming home. What it had been seeing it all destroyed... or nearly all of it. He remembered the burnings, himself, Vesemir, Geralt and Lambert having to carry the remains of all their brothers one by one to the hills. Building wooden platforms for their final rest... scattering their ashes through the valley on the winds. By contrast, they had dumped the corpses of the enraged peasant army in the moat, where their bones lie to this day. The envious mages who had coveted the secrets of mutation had fallen in the battle, the ones who had provoked the peasants in the first place, got another sort of treatment. Their heads had been planted on wooden stakes outside of Kaedwen, to inform the folk that they had failed to accomplish their genocidal goal. 
Vesemir had been adamant on that gesture, with Lambert particularly enthusiastic. Maybe the warning... bluff really, given their reduced numbers... had worked... the Kaedweni Nobles had sent out edicts to the Mages and peasants to leave the Witchers alone. To steer well clear of the valley and to stop harassing them when they came to town. Passed through. With soldiers enforcing said edicts for a time. About all the support they had ever got from the Nobles... they certainly hadn’t donated any coin or workers to restore the keep, even after the School’s many years of service to the realm. Everything had been left to the four of them ever since. At last he closed the book in his hands, setting it down among the others, hand rising and rubbing his mutilated cheek absently in uneasy consideration. Then he reached for a nearby tankard of White Gull and took a sip from it, savoring the warmth. He returned his attention fully back to the monarch, smile deepening a bit as his low, steady voice washed over her again.
“How about you? Seem well accustomed with war, difficult yet worthy causes, even for your relative youth. Heard impressive stories about you on the Path. ‘The Dragonslayer of Aedirn’. Heard Emhyr stole Lormark from you recently as well. My sympathies. Reckon you’ll take it back if... when we survive here. Can’t pledge my sword to political causes... but I ain’t ignorant. Don’t get my age being so. Yours is about the only worthy one I can think of. Never cared for Henselt... especially his choice in Sorceress advisors... nor the Emperor, refusing to reverse the Usurper’s anti Witcher policies in Nilfgaard. Henselt’s ancestor, King Viduka, granted Lormark legally to Aedirn, he no longer had a claim to it any more than Emhyr. Would be like Henselt deciding he wanted Kaer Morhen Valley back as well after his ancestors gave it to our guild. Can bet he would, if there was anything of value for him up here. When you take your kingdom back, if you need a simple Witcher’s expertise, let me know. Wars tend to draw monsters of all sorts to the land, prey on villages and towns while the soldiers are away. Was planning on heading out there when I return to the Path, come Spring.”

The 1974 Charidee Shield: Kevin Keegan, stripped to the waist, his middleweight boxer’s build rippling in the Wembley sun with Billy Bremner’s pudgier, milkier frame following him to the sideline after their double sending-off. Brian Clough, already quarter-way through his 44 day Leeds reign, smirking in the dugout. The 1965 FA Cup final: a diving Ian St John heading the winner as teammate Gerry Byrne plays on with a broken collarbone. Tony Yeboah walloping in a Yorkshire pudding-fuelled screamer on the first Monday Night Football of the 1995-96 Premiership season. And, in November 2000, Mark Viduka dinking in his fourth goal of an almighty comeback at Elland Road.
