    I’m really enjoying the championship, competitive games, no VAR (I don’t even mind the odd wrong decision), more physical and the matches come thick and fast. Bloody boring international break to ruin it.

    It's great to hear you enjoy supporting your local team, in your local sport and the very best of luck in the Final.

    Now maybe consider how I feel when supporting my local team, who just happen to be Leeds United, because for me there's no better feeling than when sharing that experience with 36,000 others at Elland Road on a match day.

    I'm from Kilkenny and not arguing about the skills involved just it's less competitive than the rugby world cup. Let me guess, your local team started at the quarter final stage?

    Pretty much but that’s no different to the rugby. Eight teams in the world pretending there’s twenty or more

    I get that Jammy, I really do but the money/corruption in the game in the pl has altered my views on the game a fair bit. For example, a decade ago I would watch tons of footie on tv, I know only watch Leeds. That’s because they somehow got in my blood. I love Leeds but certainly dont love football anymore. Not even sure I like most of it. Add to that with the local stuff we don’t have to worry about foreign owners interfering in sports and clubs they neither know anything about or care apart from what they can take from it

    The international break is the main reason why so many Prem clubs have so many long term injuries. There has never been so many prem clubs with upwards of 6, 7, 8, 9 players out. The World Cup meant a short season and loads of breaks and a truncated pre season…..

    Watching the gays play the bin dippers and in my opinion last weeks VAR screw up is effecting the reffing today. Scousers given a pen that I have seen not given and Brighton not given a pen I have seen given?

    I was at Worsbrough dale yesterday watching wakefield afc. Tiny stands.. No beer pumps all cans... Lousy looking pitch with a slope. I absolutely loved it and supporters across from us sat in the same tiny stand. £47 to watch Leeds is disgusting and it's putting me off going.

    Kalvin can't get a game even with Rodri out.

    Kalvin needs to go as Pep really dont rate him he prefers a baby called Rico Lewis so that makes him 3rd choice

    Waiting for the Eire thoughts as to where we are now that we are 10 games in. Personally I think we can get stronger 2nd half of the season <ok>

    Here we go
    1 getting Farke was a masterstroke, doubt anyone else would have done better job managing the mess
    2 ampedu and rooter have been my revelations as players
    3. Think we are probably certainties for playoffs not autos
    4 breath of fresh air after all these years not having to discuss owners more than the football
    5 time to shortly offload balance of championship winning side. No longer offering much
    That’s about it
