    If you want to see how football should be played watch Bilbao tonight one of the most exciting teams I have seen for many a year apart from Barca of course. The team compromises of Basques its like insisting only players born in Leeds can play for them Btaes would love this especially as they cost nothing!
    They remind me of theSPURS IN THE EARLY SIXTIES HOW FOOTBALL SHOULD BE PLAYED made Manchester Look like schoolboys I liked that a lot, so Warnock get watching as it can be done just needs hard work, must fancy them to win the cup anyone know the price they are?

    Well, it would be more like saying only Yorkshire lads rather than just Leeds, since they field players from all over the Basque Country. One of the few things I've ever agreed with Bates on was when he said:

    "We’re the biggest club in Yorkshire. Yorkshire is the biggest county, its population is bigger than Scotland, it’s bigger than Northern Ireland, there should be enough talent there to start building a homegrown team of Yorkshire boys at Leeds leavened with a few international quality stars and that’s our target."

    Shame he'll never allow it to come to fruition, but it should always be the aim for us. If any club can become the Athletic Bilbao of England and run our football on sound Academy principles, it's us.

    <yikes> Yet they're only the 11th best team in Spain so shows how strong the Prima Liga is then <ok>

    I'd say that's a bit of a false position due to their tiring Europa League run. When you look at the players they have I'd say they're about the 4th or 5th best team in Spain.
