Loved Gray's poor imitation of a Knocky knee slide there. Must have smarted a tad.

It was my understanding MOTD was producing a special one-off programme to celebrate and express its awe at the return of a ‘packed, boisterous Elland Road’ as it continues its obsession with the passion and loyalty of the faithful Leeds/Newcastle/Liverpool fanbase.
There was an Independent article this week (can't be bothered to link to what used to be a very good newspaper) slagging off MOTD for being out of date. Having paid for a Sky subscription last season, I can only think the writer was pitching for a job there. Sky's football coverage is easily the worst. The obsession with focusing on names in the crowd, whilst the game is in play, dated coverage and top 6 obsession, makes it easy for MOTD to look good by comparison in my opinion.
However I think the Man City game should have been way down the playlist. Like our game it had its moments but was too one sided, to spend too much time on.
I do really like the Newcastle away kit, a really nice effort by a niche British manufacturer, but a black away kit, how does that even work?

So, is Bielsa ever going to learn to speak English, or is he just pissing off the media?

Read the article, was linked on here somewhere. Made some valid points but aside from that, was just usual journo controversy.
Like Neville's analysis on Sky. Much better than any on MOTD but to do such analysis they'd have to make it an hour longer which I wouldn't mind, if it was a decent analysis.

Apparently he speaks pretty good English. Enough to be understood by the players and others. Just part of his 'quirks' (wierdness)

Well he has no trouble asking for more gravy in the harvester, the problem is he sounds a bit Scottish so it's best for all his little hobbit friend with the best job in the world continues to churn out the monotonous answers football managers have crafted so well to answer the monotonous questions.

Nothing original. Copying Pochettino

Koop not happy about some of the Burnley challenges. I thought they looked tame compared to our game against them.
Not really the same, Pochettino soon learnt English when he moved to Spurs, haven't heard this bloke speak one word of English yet, and he's been here how long?

When Pochettino was at Southampton he always did interviews in Spanish via an interpreter even though his players said he spoke perfect English every day in training

I can remember Pocchetino on at least two occasions correcting the Translator.
And then he developed very good English very quickly when he went to Tottenham.

Second in the table, unbeaten start to the season, and still on next to last.
