it is a great story (they have never been top of the league before the last two weeks), and last nights very late (94 min) winner is fantastic

edit: the goal... see if you can spot the oblivious ballboy

Great to see a small club doing well happy for them.

Good read that , just over 400k on 50 players in 4 years , wow , and to not play someone so as to avoid paying a fee of 50k shows they are being run wisely , cant see a Leeds happening there .

Good to see them not getting carried away by the start , its a long season , best of luck to them , hope they get a european spot .

Great to see them doing well.

That's what it's all about, purely there on merit. Fair play to the Raimon lad.

Beautiful stuff, that's what football should be about.

Great read and gives me a little hope but someone should send this to Kenwright and Moyes and tell them to stop moaning about the lack of funds.

Loved that. Thanks for posting it Sir.

Great read and gives me a little hope but someone should send this to Kenwright and Moyes and tell them to stop moaning about the lack of funds.

Given how Levante have done it - by becoming deeply cynical in football tactical terms and by cranking the snideometer up to max - I would imagine that even if we did do what they have done people would have a go at Kenwrong and Moyes.

Great article...loved the bit about the groundsman putting on the floodlights and hoisting up the Levante flag. Stuff of dreams.
