SPECIAL FEATURE: Mark Monk asks, isn't it about time we found a new club to hate rather than the usual suspects.

"Stand up! If you hate...."

"When I was just a little boy..."

Those two chants have been handed down from generation to generation. Manchester United and Chelsea, easily the two clubs Leeds fans dislike the most.

However, the reality is that those songs are currently as out of place at Elland Road as the present Home Secretary is in her job...and the Prime Minister...and the Chancellor and so forth.

Leeds fans, I call upon ye, like Wilko did with the Revie pictures - the time has come to put those chants away for the time-being.

Barring a cup draw, we are light years away from the day when those two club's roll up in the away changing room at Elland Road. They don't like to admit it, but I'm sure they miss us probably more than we miss them - no disrespect but Wigan or Hull at Old Trafford and Stamford Bridge just does not get their juices going as much as a visit from the mighty Leeds!

We need to find new victims to vent our spleen at and can I nominate Leicester City?

Why not? We've both been in the Premiership? We are both the biggest clubs in the Third Division next season? and I can find plenty of reasons why we should hate Leicester!

Racist chants, Emile Heskey, Martin O'Neill - the list goes on.

And like Tim Whelan, editor of TEAB, who has a pathological hatred of the team he not-so-fondly refers to as Pigshit Town (that's Ipswich by the way), I also have a personal vendetta against the Foxes.

I was actually born just a throw-in away from their old ground. Legend has it, my mother used to go to their matches because she fancied Keith Weller - some nurk who's only real claim to fame was wearing white-tights - soft get!

But I cannot stand them. Their club, their supporters, their ground, their trigger-happy chairman and next week I will be explaining in detail why we should shelve the anti-Man U/Chelsea stuff for the next couple of years and start hating Leicester!
