can't say his finishing looks that decent from the inevitable youtube montages ... looks great when it goes in, but lots of missing the target from arm's length trying to blast a hole in the net too. i'm optimistic anyway. not sure if it's just me but not having che around feels like a weight off the shoulders, that we might not have to create 5 chances for every goal.

Genuine question - fair enough this is your belief, but we also know there is absolutely no chance Rusty is going to change his play style. The style also got us promoted (with a few notable bumps along the way of course). Does your opinion mean you think the club should have ditched or should ditch the manager? Are you in the old language "Russell out"? Just curious as it feels to me like he is the least divisive manager we have had in a while but interested to hear thoughts.

have the goals been posted anywhere? would mind seeing

These are all very childish. Uno better.

They’ve been cooking on Blue Peter, now they’re sampling the dishes I don’t usually like tomatoes, John, but these are delicious

yoda?

how long has it been? are we any good? does anyone remember the rules? has puel got the sack yet?

Black smoke… sack … bloke.. MARTIN OUT

did you intend that censored vowel to be an 'o' or a 'u'? just curious which avenue of insult you were pursuing 😆

Ah interesting, cheers for clarifying. I am certainly not in tune to the regional sensitivities of Catalonia!

isn't Girona also who Ori left us for or am I misremembering? Crazy to leave for your hometown club, then go to Barca late in your career, then see your boyhood club above them in the table without you! Obviously early season but what a story.

To be fair I think that's why he was cranky. To be in a 10-game unbeaten streak, having one 7 of those, without ever playing consistently at your best could definitely be seen as a positive but the fanbase is very jaded.

The WBA fan on TSP was absolutely wetting his pants at this goal, he said something like if it was in the PL it would be goal of the season but because it's in the champ it doesn't get air time. Good goal, for sure, but I feel a little more confident seeing it. I don't think we would give them that much time in the box.

Watching the game tonight I’ve finally figured sport republics vision. They do say it’s a long term project for them… keep Russell as long as it takes for the toxic SMS atmosphere to actually turn him into Daniel Farke (6-10 years, supplemented by a diet of vegan burgers and cigarettes)

Are we playing better or are Leeds playing extremely lazily? I genuinely can’t tell

Anyone else read that in this voice?

just got a fax from my source who says che'llsee what pops up out of the blue...

In other news, Ruben has an early competitor for the 2023/24 "I was fashionable in the 2000s" award. Which look is worse?

Rusty was pretty black and white in the press conference about him too - not word for word but "I know him, I've played with him and against him, and if I had any doubts about attitude he wouldn't be here." Think it will be a good signing and likely to become perm if we go up.

Anyone got a live possession stat? I’m worried it’s below 80%

Better? No. Wetter? Definitely.

Bugger all working from aus too. Sadly time for bed. Hope they turn it around.

I do hope Rusty works out and we go up. It feels like a grown up is back in charge. He is likeable and sensible.

I will never forget the goal he scored first game of the season in the Championship. You just knew it was going to be a good year the way we played that day.

He comes very highly recommended (by 9 out of 10 dentists)
