    Could be another thrashing for Leeds.

    With Liverpool away due on Boxing Day Leeds are going to be trying to vote twice for a suspension of all the Christmas fixtures when the clubs meet on Monday

    3-0. And I stuck 20 quid on Arsenal to win by more than 3 goals at 9/1. :)

    It was a total no brainer to me. I'm not even tempted to cash out because I'm so confident.

    Someone has written into the BBC live text suggesting that Bielsa, like Hassenhuttl last season, intentionally wanted a smaller squad and it is now biting them hard

    You’d think they could just look at teams like us and see that it is foolish

    I don’t know enough about their squad to know if it is truly lighter than ours in terms of depth or whether that is usual fan moaning

    Saw on the gossip pages that everton are spending close to 20m on a new left back. I thought they were hamstrung by FFP. Wasn’t there a graph showing them in the negative

    But perhaps new accounts have been published since then

    By all accounts Benitez is drumming Digne out of Everton. Presumably to help fund some moves.

    The fans seem to think they can get 30m for him. But also in the same breath are trying to rationalise that he is crap and that replacing him with a 22 year old who has only ever played in the Ukraine is a sound move (obviously not all of them)

    A particularly amusing this is that they were dragging him for going 20 games without an assist whilst ignoring that he is often one of if not the highest rated left back defensively in the PL

    Yeah I don’t know why I am getting so much pleasure out of it. I wanted them to come up as it felt long overdue

    But the reaction to them being back has been insufferable at times

    Accusation of racist abuse from Leeds fans towards the Arsenal subs. I'm shocked. Vile bunch of fans.

    In many ways, Leeds' injury crises has come at the best possible time for them. Sure, it cost them up to five points against us and Brentford. But that is about it. Their defeats have been to Chelsea, Arsenal, City, and Spurs - with Liverpool up next. They're matches which Leeds likely would have lost anyway.

    Where their injury crises could properly cost them is after Boxing Day. In the space of a month they will have home games vs Villa, Burnley and Newcastle. A full strength Leeds would be looking to win all of them. For the sake of their survival, they surely cannot afford to lose all of them.

    Hence, for reasons completely different to Covid, it would very much be in Leeds' best interests if the season could be paused.

    So apparently Chelsea tried to get their game postponed for FOUR covid cases. What lunacy is this? They have one of the best squads in the year

    Thankfully it was rejected

    They are still trying to prove a point by only naming a six person bench. Other clubs fill up the benches with youngsters. As we are well aware Chelsea have loads of them. And good ones as well
