And they were all set off together and the one that lasted the longest was the one that had Duracell batteries in it?&nbsp; The Duracell Bunny.&nbsp; Well, that to me is Leeds fans.&nbsp; You can just wind them up and set them off and they carry on for hours.<\/p>\n<p>If I was perfectly honest at this moment in time, I don&#39;t really care whether Leeds get back any of their points &#8211; other than the fact they won&#39;t get more than 5 anyway &#8211; because we will still finish above them this season.&nbsp; And deservedly so because whether they want to admit it or not, we have proven that we are the best side in this division this season.<\/p>\n<p>Last night&#39;s article was designed to get a reaction.&nbsp; When it went past 20 comments it earned a fiver donation to a local charity because that was the bet.&nbsp; I didn&#39;t think it would get there, my mate did so we went for a fiver on who was right.&nbsp;&nbsp; Last time I looked it was 45 comments (although one was from me) so I may even make that up to a tenner as a gesture of goodwill.<\/p>\n<p>What it did prove though is that Leeds fans cannot spot a wind up no matter how hard they look.&nbsp; I&#39;m not the brightest spark in a box of fireworks but I can smell a wind up.&nbsp; But then again we shouldn&#39;t be surprised &#8211; these are the guys that needed it pointing out to them that April 1st was April Fool&#39;s Day but even then because &quot;it&#39;s got quotes like&quot; it must be true.<\/p>\n<p>To all Leeds fans visiting &#8211; thanks for taking the time to read, and sorry to get you so wound up that you all contributed so easily.&nbsp; Good luck for your hearing and all that &#8211; maybe you have a case, maybe you don&#39;t but what you definitely don&#39;t have is the ability to see what is there in front of you.&nbsp;&nbsp; Hell, that article was so bitter it just had to be a wind up.&nbsp; Surely most could see that it was blatant fishing.&nbsp; And boy, what a catch.<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy the last few games of the season lads &#8211; hell, if things go your way we may even let you join us in the Championship next season.&nbsp;&nbsp; Only if you play nicely mind.<\/p>\n<p>I always liked the Duracell Bunny although the fact it was pink I thought was always a little suspect.&nbsp; Give our regards to Papa Smurf.<\/p>\n<p>And just to keep the blood pressure down, I&#39;ve toned the article down a little &#8211;
