Allocation of 5,000 to an away game at Wigan?
Plus the game is on Sky anyway.
That is bloody magnificent away support. <applause>
I remember when we took 5,000 away to Barnsley, but it was the penultimate game of the season
and confirmed our slot in the play-offs...and Barnsley's relegation, too.
David Nielsen scored one and boy did those inflatable canaries fill the Yorkshire sky <ok>

My god Leeds fans are pathetic on Twitter. They hate us. Don't know why. Norwich getting all kinds of sh*t coz we won again.

Such idiots.
 
West Bromwich Albion have sacked head coach Darren Moore after their draw at home to struggling Ipswich Town.

Saturday's stalemate left them fourth in the Championship and nine points off the automatic promotion places.

The 44-year-old took charge after they parted company with Alan Pardew in April 2018 and he was later appointed after their Premier League relegation.

Can't believe this.****ing mental

Abso-lucking-futely
 
So West Brom sack their manager, bit of an odd call in my opinion.
Utterly ridiculous given they're nailed on for a play-off berth. Why risk upsetting the team now? Should have at least let him navigate the play-offs, then sack him if they don't go up. I doubt they have a replacement in mind, and even if they do, the new manager will barely have time to settle on an XI before the play-offs.
 
So happy Newcastle won from 2 goals down. at 1-0 down. Pickford should have had a blatant red for one of the worst GK fouls I've seen. He then saved the Pen, and made a couple of saves after.

Then Silva has the stupidity to rant at the ref after the game!?

His GK rugby tackled a player, and didn't get sent off. He looked at him, then rugby tackled him, way after the ball had gone and stayed on the pitch.

To be honest, as with all sackings we cannot know all the details. What if he has been sacked because he has upset the players, lost the dressing room and that has led to this recent slump?
From an outside perspective it looks crazy but as with Hughton perhaps only those inside the club or the fans of WBA will appreciate thus move.
Like Hughton, there will of course be ridiculous cries foul that it was about race (There was already one such dumbass claim below the edp article) If you're racist you don't hire the subject of your hatred in the first place :emoticon-0181-fubar
I actually think they will have someone in mind, even if it's a moronic Adams like stopgap. Of course if he has lost the players they may have had to act without a plan.

Bah!
 
The players 'failing to turn up' against Leeds must have had something to do with it. I saw Bamford's first goal against them when I was in a pub and my 9 year old granddaughter could have scored that. No Baggies player really tried to tackle him!!
How many other teams have Leeds beaten by such a margin??
