Bielsa gone??
5pm press conference called by Leeds.

I actually find the whole thing quite amusing. There are no rules/regulations about this kind of thing, so technically he's done nothing wrong. Maybe in England we're just too "nice" when it comes to this sort of thing, yet as @Spurs 1961 said, our players fall over under the slightest touch, so it's a little bit hypocritical to call this sort of thing cheating.

Is there a Football League thread? Couldn't find one.
We have had a FL thread some seasons but just a Champ one this season. I wouldn't mind posting lower league stuff in this thread tbh.

...the fuck are those Reading players doing appealing for a penalty?! Knobs. VAR across the game can't come soon enough.

In other news, a very big day in my neck of the woods as Norwich head up to Leeds for a top of the Championship tussle. Yellows!

Cracking last 10 minutes in Villa - Sheffield Utd game. United 3-0 up and Villa score three times to get the draw. Sheffield Utd would have gone top with a win; they'll be fuming!

I really enjoy the Championship - never fails in excitement, entertainment and close endings to seasons.

Its like the fourth or fifth best league in the world in my view. Beats the likes of the Spanish and French leagues.

PL, and erm I was going to say Bundesliga and Serie A but actually your question has a point.

Theres a strong case that the championship is better than the PL, as no matter, it will always have an interesting finish to the end of the year. Last season the league was over by before the last match, top 4 sewn up, man city runaway champions and Swansea relegated.

The thing of relevance was Liverpool who were third for most of the season dropped to 4th because they rested their team for a champions league final

Dirty Leeds are named that way because the are the biggest shithousing team that ever existed.

Shame about QPR. LOL 0-4 down, up to 3-4 and missed a pen in injury time.

Well pleased.
