The cabbage pitched up at West Brom indeed. Well, good for him I guess.


Two wins on the bounce eh Jimbuna? And out of the drop zone. Howay the lads! At this rate you'll be challenging for Europe before long.

Hope Westham give him a big kick in his behind so he fly far away from the stadium and every other team should reject him- Giving him a fine is a hoax.

A step in the right direction and hopefully soon to be followed by many more.

Yes, I watched that earlier and didn't like it at all.

It is being reported he may yet face prosecution and his club have fined him two weeks wages which are to be donated to the RSPCA

TOON climb to dizzy heights of 14th after a 2-0 win at Brentford.

I know results haven't been good of late but I'm still surprised at this development.

Have Leeds Utd pulled the rug from underneath Bielsa too early yes i know results ain't been good conceding 20 goals in five games a premier league record.

Bamford and Philips should be back for Aston Villa Game and the next six games are winable
Leicester Aston Villa Norwich Wolves Southampton Watford
all Leeds need to do is have three teams below them come the end of the season and theres twelve games left it ain't over until the fat lady sings.

It was not sustainable. At the time, Leeds had shipped 60 goals

Last season Leeds scored 62 goals in 38 games (1.63 goals per game) while conceding 54 (1.42)

This year they've scored 29 in 26 (1.11) while shipping 60 (2.30!).

Injuries have played their part (Bamford, Phillips) but something had to change as they are dangerously close to the drop.

Not sure Marsch will be the answer, although he has had success, particularly at Salzburg. And they did look pretty good in the Leicester loss, which they did enough to win (except score).

Shame that Bielsa got the sack, but it clearly wasn't working this year.

The team that are currently surprising to me on form and league position is Everton, especially so if Spurs turn them over tonight.

Yes, Everton should be better, and their spot in the table is despite a hot start, if I recall correctly.


I suspect they'll survive, but only just. But their position is so precarious that a poor run combined with wins from below could seal their fate. SuperFrank has his hands full, but compared to the clubs below them I think they have enough to stay up. I hope so, because I wouldn't want the battle of Stanley Park to be gone. I want Everton to suffer, but not so much they take the drop.

I should imagine should the worst scenario come to be, Rafa will burden much of the blame despite his short involvement this season.

No doubt he will, and some of that would be fair. But the fact they sit a single point off the drop zone falls more at the feet of the board, who should never have signed Rafa in the first place. I think the tribalism that exists in English football is silly, the notion that a player or manager who turns out for a rival team is a traitor to be hated. But it does exist, and as a result it felt like Rafa never really had a chance. A mountain too high to climb.

Both he and the board compounded their problems with the Digne mess. To sell him, then turn around and sack Rafa was inept.

The current owners bought the club in 2016 and since then there have been six managers. They also have a net transfer spend in that time of over 600m pounds, and yet the club feels full of misfits, players other teams have cast off. And they are far too reliant on Richarlison and Calvert-Lewin for goals. When they are both out, which was the case earlier, where are the goals going to come from? Townsend? Iwobi? Rondon? Cenk Tosun? Not likely.


I actually like their central mids. Allan, Gomes and even DvdB are good players. But Everton have so little cutting edge. 28 goals for in 24 matches leads right where they are now.

I blame that ex-mackem with the little arms :O:

Chelsea "seized" by HMG...
