I'm proud too but I'll be as far away from one of those cruise ships as possible. Never know what you might catch. Instead I'll be cottaging in the Cotswolds. 

Until you're a pariah, with an unknown virus, in international waters, you've just not lived!

Oh, bon voyage @Whitey Grandad!

Thanks. It's for my daughter and her family really. I'm only going along to carry the wallet.

Looking forward to seeing you on the news.

"Sure, no port will take us in, and no one wants us. But we're still more liked than Southampton after Spygate."

I think we have to wait until it's all over, then we get a summary of everything that's happened where he'll claim he knew it all, all along.

BBC just trolling now. Lol.

'inside the mind of Bielsa'

The 70-year-old is one of the most respected and influential coaches in the game, and that reputation has been earned from his borderline obsessive dedication to preparation for every single match he oversees.

No mention of Leeds' own, original, Spygate, but instead:

"It's all about setting high standards that will stay with the club long after he has gone."

Not sure where it'll take us. What's done is done, and putting any further details into the public domain isn't likely to help the club, and depending on the information, it may well hinder.

From the comments : "Is the BBC that issues this ode to Bielsa the same BBC that invites all and sundry to kick the Southampton manager every other day?"

Says the man who was kicked out of Southampton for having an affair with Jose Fonte’s wife.. not sure how he can pass any kind of moral judgment on others, especially the club he disgraced. What Pardew did was far worse than what Eckert did.. Funny how the football media go to the dregs of society for their comments.. wonder why? Maybe because they also lack any sort of morality.

They will be asking Collymore his opinion next.

I'm getting a sense that most fans are now going ahead full throttle in developing a thick skinned, hard nosed siege mentality. Feels like we've pulled up the draw bridge having had more then enough of the holier than thou platitudes and the rank hypocracy of many pundits and journos. We accepted and paid a huge price for what, let's face it, is a small discretion in the football world which is rife with a total lack of integrity and onfield cheating of every kind. Now we seem ready to say a huge fuck you to the many detractors, mischief makers and bullshitters who have blown up this whole saga in a completely over the top onslaught. We've been a nice family club for too long and now is the time to bare our teeth and fight like hell.
