Hang The Monkey!!
In the build up to Tuesdays game betwixt Leeds and Hartlepool I donned my slightly less than hard nosed journo head and put a few questions to a Hartlepool fan.
Many thanks to Peter from Hartlepool for agreeing to fulfill my ambition of getting this off the ground.
First and foremost tell me a bit about yourself; including how long you've been a Monkey Hanger and why you support Hartlepool ....

Exiles Preview: Leeds Vs Bristol Rovers - Macca's Selection Headache
Gary McAllister has a major decision to make today, does he stick with his starting 11 from last week’s draw with Yeovil or the "reserves" that beat Crystal Palace 4-0 in mid-week. My prediction will be a halfway house.
Fabian Delph, who we must remember is only 17, is pushing for a starting place, our other young midfield prodigy Jonny Howson could well make way for Delph whose ....

Small Town In South Yorks V Leeds United
Leeds won their first and only major trophy at Wembley, courtesy of an Allan Clarke header which sent Billy to collect the FA Cup for the first time in the club’s history. 36 years on and someone could send Jonathan Douglas up to collect the Play Off final trophy for the first time in our history.

Leeds V Gillingham - Preview
Small matter of a game of football tomorrow, Leeds have little to play for except the pride of putting Gillingham down and telling their Chairman where to stick the 15 points deduction which he openly voted in favour of.
Beckford is still a doubt and most likely wont be risked unless he is 100% fit, McAllister has said he will bed some youth players in tomorrow, but don't expect major changes to ....
