Thanks for all the lovely messages - I’ve been ok, covering football - that’s what I love doing. 11 years ago, I found myself reporting on something so far removed from this it was beyond belief. Please, please, please don’t let yourself get to that dark place. Ask for help. ❤️

One of the most revolutionary aspects of Leeds’ PL return has been the approach that completely rejects the notion of playing for a draw. Leeds have lost more games than all but 3 other sides and are 10th. It’s entertainment. It’s brilliant. Neutrals love Leeds. Dirty Leeds. 😂

So now you can go and sit in a cinema to watch a match, or you can sit in a pub or club next to the ground to watch a match that’s going on in the ground, but you can’t sit outside, in a mask, socially distanced, to watch it? What is the scientific rationale?

The thing I love about watching Leeds is that as soon as Meslier catches a corner, or it’s headed clear to another Leeds player, the anticipation levels immediately shoot up. 10 seconds later the ball’s in the opposition box, with 3/4 white shirted arms all raised for a pass.

Halfway through the season and 26 points accumulated, I’d say that’s pretty impressive stuff from Leeds. Even more so given constant defensive disruption. Some expensively assembled squads below Leeds currently. And a goal of the season comp that’s going to be a DVD box set.
