Leeds picking up where they left off last season: being absolutely dog turd at defending.

(United have been pretty slick, mind)

...and yet still we are being told how wonderful Leeds are. My hope that all that nonsense might be over have been dashed.
I love the style of play Leeds have under Bielsa. However the constant sycophancy towards him makes me hope all the more that they are relegation fodder this season.

Bielsa’s tactical brilliance has kept the score down to four.

Manager of the month for me.

Unfortunately this is a result of Bielsa’s genius, he once spoke to Bruno Fernandes for 14 seconds after a game, making him at least 50% responsible for his talent and thus this hat trick.

Just saw what the (current) score is - 5-1! Bonkers... although Leeds are no longer "everyone's favourites" - that's Brentford now going by recent media attention, and undoubtably helped by the win last night.

And he's still got another twenty minutes left to keep it down to five or six!

Does this mean I'll have to revise my long-held opinion of OGS as being well out of his depth? And of Pogba being lazy?

There's only so many prejudices I'm prepared to change.

Just tuned back in after 1-0 last time I looked.
Brilliant but a tad annoyed that the wife beaters scored a goal.
Would have been even better if it was at Bellend Road.

Imho the 3 mega spending clubs are going to dish out hidings this season, normal order of a few seasons back restored.

When the ESL collapsed there was much chatter including on NSC of a levelling up, of the clubs facing severe punishments and of broadcasting deals being far fairer to the other 14.

I saw the Mancs x 2 and Chelsea embarking on spending sprees, taking the transfer opportunities presented by Juve/Barca/Real being in deep shite.

It's looking that way.

Only PSG and Bayern can stop a 3 club dominance of Europe.
