    I don't think I've ever seen a Leeds side display less attacking prowess than this current incarnation. Just absolutely no plan whatsoever going forward. We may have plugged the hole at the back to some extent but this is just ugly, directionless, awful football. I've said it before and will say it again - we should have gone down with Marcelo.

    Prince Albert of Monaco is here. Apparently he became a West Ham fan after they signed Dimitri Payet and he is here as a guest of Mark Noble.

    That's a collection of words I didn't expect to be writing when I started my shift.
    Mark Noble, friends in high places.

    Haaland is worth all that money just so they have someone who can score a penalty.

    Fucking injury time equaliser. Burnley lose twice and we stay up. Nothing to worry about, right?

    I suppose at least it takes it to the last day, regardless. I'm glad but also feel physically unwell. It's a strange mixture of emotions.

    Relegation battles

    When Lerner gave up and we were complete toilet for five years I was looking forward to an inevitable relegation. When it came it was relatively painless as we were a complete joke and down in about January. But the one two years ago having just come back up was excruciating. The Championship was great, but we’re finally moving forward and that would’ve been a huge setback. Guessing Leeds feel the same, but probably magnified as they were down for 16 (?) years.

    I hope you stay up anyway. It’s still fresh having Leeds in the Prem and Leeds/Villa has some good needle.

    Aye, I like having sides like Leeds in the mix. I'd love Forest to go up as well. Relegation never really bothered me. It's not like there's a great injustice involved when a team is tripe for most of the season.

    Looks like the lolfest shit-off is at the bottom this year rather than for the 4th place trophy.

    What's Everton's record like before and after Lampard? Has he got it in him to take them down next season if he fails this time?

    Anyone but Sheffield United coming up would be grand(sorry Hammer). Getting Forest back is the preference.

    Losing either Everton or Leeds would be lovely. Burnley going down would likely see them drift down the leagues.

    Huddersfield and Luton.

    Luton v Forest final is the ideal. Nathan Jones and Steve Cooper are both excellent.

    Fuck if I’d have guessed for a week I wouldn’t have said Luton. Didn’t even think they were in the league at all.

    Did they get cashed up?

    They've had a fairly meteoric rise I think [although have apparently been in the championship for 3 seasons].

    From what I can tell exactly the opposite, they've recruited very shrewdly on a thin budget.

    Well, they've gone conference to the cusp of the premier league in what, 8 years? I'd call that meteoric. Had Jones not been tempted by that whole Stoke business maybe it'd have been quicker as well.

    Looks like they've followed a Yev managerial trajectory, with a few rest and build phases.

    Better than Rafa but it's very win/lose. Watford was his first draw of the season which means they're a bunch of fragile mentality monsters.

    That was @Giggles to be fair.

    There's a Luton fan at work and he genuinely can't even believe they're mixing it up at the top of the Championship, never mind what could come next.

    I think he meant the opposite of ‘cashed up’. They still have Kenilworth Road too Are there any regulations that would stop them using it in the top flight?

    I remember the plastic one from the last time they were in the top flight. A real proper plastic one.

    You have to go through someone's garden to get into the away end. Not sure if it's sloped though.

    I see old Wazza has tried to one-up City in the small time stakes by 'calling into question' QPR's involvement in the Aguero statue game.

    If they really wanted City to win it seems an odd way to go about it.

    QPR needed a result until Bolton's score came through. If they "wanted City to win" (which I don't believe, but still), they only wanted it for the last few minutes.

    I've heard from sources he's a bit unprofessional. Leaves his smelly boots around the training ground, often late, doesn't really take his club duties seriously, etc.

    Year to the day since Alisson scored against West Brom.

    It's slightly surreal looking back just 12 months and seeing how wank Liverpool were.
