    I was surprised at how good they looked. Dakoura on the wing looked the size of a mountain and quick - like a human wrecking ball. Centre half pairing they had was very good Ayling and Barkley.

    Have to say I agree with GLP. Leeds do look really strong and the best they've been for over a decade. Brighton look the strongest of the current top two and I'd say them over Newcastle for the title. Though I suspect it'll be play offs for Leeds, they look capable of breaking into the top 2 should a slip up happen.

    It was his first league start, he's started in their cup games.

    I think Newcastle's problem is that they bought a lot of players and have too many to pick from, and Raffa doesn't know his best team. I know he likes to rotate, and whether at the end of the season doing that helps them finish of the season stronger I guess only time will tell.

    That Derby performance reminded me of one of our nightmare away games last season.

    Leeds had four 1st choices out and still have to add to their squad this window, add in a new co owner who's worth serious money and it's all looking good for them.

    They're 4 point off Newcastle who have a game in hand, they ain't catching them any time soon.

    I don't know why Monk ever became considered not a good manager. I thought he did very well and was really harshly treated at Swansea. I wasn't happy when he joined Leeds. I hoped they'd be unsalvageable but evidently not.

    Seriously worrying times for this club if we swap places with them.

    It's more like 8 points with the GD. They'll have to win pretty much every game to get top 2.

    Monk has done a cracking job, he's one of most promising British gaffers

    I wouldn't say it's worrying if we swap places with them, we've had five seasons of premier league football while they've been in the Championship/League 1. It just shows that we've been poorly managed and looked after and they haven't (ish).

    Erm wtf?

    I can't imagine even the most rabid Anti Allamites would prefer to have had Cellino as our owner. Or Bates. Or Steve Evans as our manager.

    So on that basis, Id say they've had a much ****ter time in both of those respects than we have.

    Which serves the ****s right.

    A survey showed that one in three tws fans are just as deluded as the other two.

    Leeds still have to go up to Newcastle. I can see them getting a result. I'm impressed with what Monk has done - and I really don't like them (Leeds) either. But they are playing football that look easily good enough to get them an automatic spot.

    My colleague and brother in law are both Leeds United fans - there's no love lost. I do just think they are playing some decent stuff and I'm man enough to admit it.

    I can't see them beating Newcastle, the quality they have is extraordinary for the Championship. I've seen Leeds quite a bit on Sky this year and they look a tidy side, I missed them last night, but I still think there's at least 3 better sides in that division (Newcastle, Brighton, Reading)

    I'm very surprised how poorly Norwich are doing, I thought they'd be right up there, considering how strong their squad is.

    I do appreciate your humility GLP, however, if you could just get back to calling them filthy white arsecunts now please. Thank you.
