Today’s Football 2021/22 Season

[SantaClausisanEvertonian]

Looks like the fantastic, wonderful, brilliant coach that is Bielsa has been well and truly found out this season.
Doesn't he have a 'great philosophy' that is a 'pleasure to watch'?

 

[Khalekan]

At the moment... If it keeps them lot from winning the league I'm all for them.

Yip.

Though I have no problem with City.

It’s Chelsea I despise but I am grateful they are an anti RS buffer as well.

Leeds have always had the aura of a detestable club going back to the era of Hunter, Bremner and co in the 70s who found the only way to beat teams was by kicking lumps out of them. Add to the fact that they couldn’t handle Brian Clough managing them for more than 44 days when he was the one that could have turned them into European and League champions that he went on to do with Forest

Great post Stevie.
May I please add to your list that they have arguably some of the more detestable fans in the English league too?
The phrase 'Yorkshire kopites' springs to mind.

Their fans have always been horrible and their team "dirty Leeds" from the 70s.

Bielsa at it again, going toe to toe with the big boys and absolutely pounded into oblivion. What a genius.

Like taking a knife to a gunfight

Goes back to the period from the mid 60s to mid 70s.

They were cynical cheats.

And their fans thought they were well hard.

I’m in a quandary. I hoped never to be back here, certainly not in December where I’m looking at other clubs’ fixtures and wondering what would be best for us. Anyone help me here? What result would be best for us in the Burnley game tonight?

Great film but no, my late dad used to tell me first hand what they were like

 

[gonetomorrow]

Don Revie was the Machiavelli of football. Hunkered down in his car coat thinking dark thoughts.
Opposite of Cloughy who continually berated him.

 

[Nymzee]

End of an era. One of the best strikers ever unfortunately sharing a generation with Messi and Ronaldo.

 

[PITA]

evertheoptimist will have enjoyed watching City struggle to see off Leeds there.

It's the petrodollars. Here's a link.

Spurs and Leicester both have 9 players missing. Both clubs asked PL to postpone the match. They refused. Going to be interesting line ups later.
