Newcastle thought they were so clever thinking they had done one over Burnley by buying Woods for 25m whose yet to score for them.

While canny Dyche's replacement for Woods.... Weghorst gets a goal and an assist in their win over Brighton.

Dyche is such a clever c**t in hyping up his players who he's about to sell for extortionate amounts to other EPL clubs

Who's woods?

Not me. At my age hard to get excited....

So the title race, the whole football media circus called over in december is wide open again? Must admit, that is another part of modern football that annoys the hell out of me. All the clichés, knee-jerk reactions and jumping to conclusions after every single game, because small margins went one way or the other.

It’s crap, everyone wants to be the first to call if. First game Norwich are down, Man City are champions. It’s like these people have no knowledge of the game they just want to shout something and then say they were the first to call it. 
I’m with you it’s bloody annoying! I do love it when they are wrong though.

Wouldn’t surprise me if Man City went and won the next ten in a row and put the season to bed. Think West Ham will miss out on top 6 now and out of Spurs Utd and Arsenal would rather Arsenal get top 4. One or 2 more wins for us will see abit of a boring end to the prem season for us for a change just concentrate on the conference league.

To be fair, it has looked for a while like Man City would walk it. Liverpool seemed to slump after winning but it does make it interesting. Chelsea fell away earlier than people expected, too.

Villa already have a Gerrard out thread on their forum 🤣

 

Thanks for this! Lurking their forums has been like therapy. Gerrard out, Gerrard too expensive, Gerrard recruitment all wrong, Gerrard subs make no sense, atmosphere at the stadium is rubbish, PA system at the stadium too loud. And to top it off, someone suggesting replace Gerrard with Rodgers in the summer, as Gerrard is far too stubborn!!! Cheered me up no end!

Buzzing in Leeds. Not seen this much police presence on a match day for a long time. Even on the Manchester platform at the station there’s about 20 coppers.

Have to say, I don't mind Leeds as a city. Only been a few times but I have enjoyed it.

Yeah, because it's not like we beat them 5-2 away last season or created 5 big chances at the Etihad this season, even though we lost. 

Yeah our defence let us down not the attack, we exposed their back line everytime we went forward in that game 

[CrispinLA in Texas]

Villa, Everton and Newcastle falling for EPL experienced players in the January transfer market.

Villa paying 25m for Digne who will be 29 years old soon.

Everton signing Deli Ali and will have pay 40m at the beginning of next season.

Newcastle paying 25m for Chris Wood whose 30years old.

All 3 are now considered daft signings by their fans and Brendan should take note if he carries on wanting EPL experienced players for his summer rebuild.

Think Southampton have been smart buying and getting players on loan who can't get in the Chelsea first team....Broja and Livramentro have been great particularly Broja.

As a neutral, I think it's great to see this fixture back in the PL.

 

Hope Leeds do a job on them today.

Dan James is going to have United on toast ain't he 

[Vacamion]

 

I'm fairly sure that Bielsa doesn't need his wee interpreter pal and is faking not being able to speak English.

 

It's all a tax scam or something.

 

I live in hope, just once, Bielsa is doing his post-match interview and the interviewer asks a stupid question, and Bielsa doesn't wait for his interpreter, but just sighs "Oh Fook off".

 

This is the week...

Most of Elland Road stood, love it. Paul Tierney in being shit shocker. 

[HybridFox]

Nearly slid out of his shorts there 

[foxfanazer]

Awww poor Bruno 

[Vacamion]

 

Having Gary Neville as a pundit* on this game is an absolute travesty.

 

It's as if the people doing this broadcast don't understand football or fans or rivalry.

 

I'm baffled by the thinking that decides it's a good thing.

Neville: "the ref's going to have to take the conditions into account".

 

Why don't the players take the conditions into account?
