Not quite the Champions League quarter final as it was only a few year ago. For a start it's taken just one game to get this far and two relegations to qualify, as opposed to a top four Premiership finish, qualifying rounds and a group stage. Tomorrows opponents won't be some elite European team such as AC Milan or Barcelona either; instead, it'll be Bury. I could go over old ground here, and continually moan about our bad fortunes, before ending on some depressing cliche, but I won't. Mainly because I'm quite excited about the JPT!
I know alot of Leeds fans see the JPT Cup as a small-timers trophy, which, should we win, would never rank alongside the past glories of managers such as Don Revie and Howard Wilkinson. I aren't going to argue against this, but I do think the JPT could provide a massive morale boost for the team, and the fans. Reaching the final would also mean our first trip to the new Wembley for a chance to win our first trophy in 15 years!
This is just the kind of thing Leeds United as a club needs. It may not be anything major, and to some old-timers, it may seem small and meaningless, but winning the JPT and then - sorry to tempt fate, but - going on to gain promotion would be an amazing season after everything we've been through. Leeds United are on the up. Watch this space!
