When fucking Peacock put up that graphic about Palace being 20-4-0 in their last 24 games when leading at halftime, this was a foregone conclusion.

That United Leeds match was one of the most entertaining 0-0 matches you’ll see. No complaints.
Agree. Love watching Leeds. Like the ABA Nuggets, or Air Coryell's Chargers. Attack attack attack, defensive philosophy is for the opponent to hurry up and score so we can attack again.

Seriously, from the first week when they went into Anfield and instead of sitting in banks of four, traded haymakers and lost 4-3, they've been my favorite side to watch as a neutral.

I love how Leeds players always put a foot in to try for the tackle. The standard at that level is to press hard, but to contain the dribble and reduce the passing angles. But not Leeds. They always throw a boot in and come away with the ball far more often than you'd expect going up against the most technically proficient players in the world. It's great.

They have the players for the style, Bamford, Raphina, Dallas etc. If they can deepen their squad this summer they'll be really dangerous.

To be honest they parked their bus a little vs United but it was to be expected after the 6-2 drubbing.


Raphinha is, to me, the best Sancho alternative United could go for. Not sure he’d leave after one season but he ticks all the boxes. Bonus that he’s friends with Bruno.

Another totally insane red card decision with some similarities to the West Ham-Chelsea decision. He (awkwardly) passed the ball and Vardy put himself into the path of the follow through of his foot. There has to be an understanding where if you go to kick a ball your foot is going to continue moving forward after striking that ball and if somebody puts themself into that space, its their problem not yours.
