Donny are above them in the table but will fall six points behind if they claw the points back.

Those loveable Leeds lads are taking the action even though they initially agreed not to and 75 per cent of fellow Football League clubs voted to uphold the sanction.

Their lawyers are attempting to show the League acted outside its jurisdiction when it took the points for the club's failing to 'exit administration via a Company Voluntary Arrangement'.
And what about the Millers?

They had ten points taken and robbed of almost certain promotion when they took the administrators shilling.

Will Leeds' appeal open doors for the Millers to have a go? Or is the legal route only open to those with glorious pasts and a chip on their shoulder? Leeds have never particularly been bothered about popularity but they will take their reputation for - shall we say - single-mindedness, to new levels if they get away with this one.

THE power of the Premiership knows no bounds.

Rural Kenya is about as far away from Anfield as you can get and they don't travel THAT far even to watch Manchester United. But they've both got loads of fans out there - as have Arsenal and Chelsea.

Street banners painted with the Liverpool crest, buses, taxis and roadside stands with Arsenal and Manchester United badges, and any fan you talk to knows their stuff.

You see lads in their replica -and a lot of complete fake - team shirts all over the place and the games are live on TV every week. Out there last week on a press visit and keen to know how Manchester United and Arsenal were doing, I mentioned it to a tour guide as we trundled through isolated bush between elephants and water buffalo.

He took out a moble phone from inside his Gunners jacket and moments later said with a smile: "1-0 to Arsenal according to the BBC website."

He wasn't smiling quite so much later on but I was able to text the score to my son, who was nowhere near a radio or TV back home 4,000-plus miles away, to tell him the score.
