The BBC will definitely use the word "ominous" for us.

No mate they will lead on the Leeds fans booing a Ramadan break. I really, really object to any interference with football from either religious or political perspective though. Before anyone replies with "they've been fasting all day", well that's their choice and should not impact on a game of football which should be neutral for all people to watch.

That was really weird. Nothing controversial happened all game yet he went mad at the ref but then was laughing and joking with Pep within seconds after getting the red.

I remember the shit he came out with from the reverse fixture, calling out our tactical timeout like its the first time its ever happened and shortly after their player faked a head injury and the media went into overdrive with it.
Fact is, 2 fixtures, 8 cards by the same ref, and despite them being dirty, we got 7 of the 8 cards

Sky going on about worrying patterns...16 points from 18, 4 wins in a row, there's your pattern.

We've lost 3 games in our last 30 in all comps as well, so it's hardly a novel development. We are very hard to beat.

The only reason we're not running away with it is because of the number of times we've drawn when we could have won.

It’s a weird one this as I kind of get what you are saying but for a minute or 2s break for health reasons I’m not really that arsed

100%
 
Didn't like what I was watching in the first half an hour or so, but we handled it well. They came at us, they had the crowd up, they were certainly getting the decisions and every ball seemed to go for them.

In those circumstances you have to trust your ability and your desire, fight to hang in there knowing you'll have your own chance to punch back, the guard will drop. And it did. Leeds could never have sustained that for a game, they were flagging towards half time and we played it perfectly.

That magical stat the media suddenly found this week of Leeds being unbeaten in night games, well I guess 5:30.kick off doesn't count!

Saw a team who showed up today and were counted. In the face of their energy, the crowd,, the decisions, we grew a little more today and that victory does more for us than a win tomorrow can do for arsenal.

Special mention to the assistant referee on the far side for his 96 minute impression of Dougal from Father Ted. I don't think he had any idea that he was even at a game of football and was wondering why someone had given him a nice little wavy flag.

Yet another stinker of a game after 7 days of rest (again). We cannot win the league if we continue playing like this because a tougher opposition will punish us with this kind of football. First half was absolutely horrendous until the goal came out of nowhere. Doku needs to return ASAP, our attack is toothless. Midfield getting overrun by the opposition once more as well.

What are you like when we lose ffs
 
Less than 7 days ago these cunts were telling us, defending well and clean sheets is what makes Champions. Today being under any pressure from neanderthal football and completely controlling the game isn't enough for them to give us any credit.
Get fucked and cry in your Pimms you cunts.

And yet again with this ref, like the home fixtures, all the cards went one way. We got 4 of the 5 cards at home and all 3 cards today. Clear bias with our officiating almost every single game

When should Leeds have had a yellow?

Haha you not seen us see our league titles!? There are games like that always it’s about defending for your lives getting those 3 points! Like at home to Newcastle too! For me this is a very good sign for us! Carry on with your pint half empty
