It isn’t going away quietly.

Not surprised. In Europe this season all 3 of those clubs demonstrating they're not to be feared any more (yes Real reached CL semis but should've been beaten by a far greater margin by Chelsea).

And Real and Barca in desperate need of cash as well to re-build.

Expect this to rumble on for a few weeks and then it will go quiet over the summer when the Euros dominate the back pages.

That third Leeds goal. Chef's kiss tastic.
If they were my lot (whu), we'd have been in 5 banks of 4 on the edge of our box since just before half time.(not a complaint, Moyes just can't help himself any more than i can stop a weak fade)
Instead, every time they've picked up the ball they've bombed forward and tried to get another. It's really refreshing and impressive.

Well against Burnley proves this wrong surely?

Pushing until the end should of been 4/5

With Leicester getting beat by the barcodes and it all going very Spursy for Spurs we have to be big Citeh fans today and you never know.... May the 4th be with you!

Those painful behind the sofa last minutes didn't happen??
Lol, meant it as a compliment to Leeds, rather than a knock on us. They've been a real breath of fresh air this season.
As for the tubers.... blimey. They looked gone.

Great result for The Toon. Maybe Steve Bruce isn’t a muppet after all ???????

Every so often they play like this and look great. Inbetween, more often, they play like they did against Arsenal. It's one or the other.

Oh Sergio. What was that? ????

embarrassing

Agueeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrooooo-oh!!!

 

[Liverbirdie]

Although 2-3 views looked a penalty, if you just run into someone's legs from 2 yards away, that should not be a pen.

Sterling still bugs me so much. He’s a precious little diving wuss.

I think your describe quite a few kiss ball players there.

He’s nearly as bad as Neymar.

That was a great performance against Spurs today, especially with some of our best players on the bench.

How was that not a pen? Anywhere else on the pitch and Sterling gets a free kick.

Cheers Sergio - see you at the Bridge next year..... ?? ? ?

 

[davemc1]

Still Champions ?

Because the contact wasn't sufficient to put him over and he chose to dive; which begs the question, why no second yellow for simulation?

Or maybe they finally realised he should have been off in the first half for the studs first tackle on Werner...

I agree
Zuma completely the wrong side and catches him albeit softly.
Sterling is a wuss for sure,but nobody squeals like Werner.
