Well, it's 2014. saying are at the wheel of the Legion United Phoenix Club in the sixth tier of the English football pyramid because David Hague sold the old club to Red Bull and we are now closing down Red Bull Leeds who are in the championship with Jesse Marsh as manager. But I think maybe hanging on by his fingernails at the minute. He's falling out with Steve Morrison. It's not going well. We have relocated to Headingley in North Leeds, |
| 0:55.4 | playing under a dome because Michael forgot to edit the game settings properly. So we have built a dome at great expense to the Leeds Council taxpayer. Eddie Gray's, our boss, he's the chairman of the New Phoenix Club. We are Arcadia Brendan Chisholm, which is an anagram of all five of our names, Chris, Dan, Dean, Michael and Rob. |
| 1:13.4 | We haven't yet spent anything in the transfer market. We've just been hoovering up young Italian |
| 1:17.6 | talent from the freebie market. And we've also added a few emotional favourites from across the |
| 1:23.9 | years at Legion Island. Although we did injure Kimmar Roof on loan and just send him back with his tail between his legs.

| 2:03.4 | Where we left you last, we were top of the league, 13 games in. We were unbeat and six points clear with a game in hand and through to the next round of the FA Cup. Everything looking pretty tidy. I think we're now happy we've decided. We've had a little five-way Arcadia Brendan Chisholm meeting off air and decided we're basically now happy with the squad. |
| 2:21.0 | So it's time to pick up the pace and get through this season. |
| 2:23.7 | So we've played a couple of games since we last spoke. |
| 2:25.9 | A 1-0 victory against Barrow, who were near the bottom of the league and a 2-0 away win at Loisoft, |
| 2:30.9 | which means we now face Oxford City at home, still in the Vanorama North, |
