We're averaging nearly 1.4 goals PER GAME more than our opponents.

Only Sunderland are scoring as many as 1.4 goals per game.

BBC Breakfast News totally ignores the championship in their sports news round-up.

What a sad day for a little Welsh lad, but Leeds and the square ball did him proud... when you are passionate and you loose that is the saddest thing he never wants to hear MOT ever again.

And they say sometimes Elland road is quiet?

Michael on The Square Ball has made the kid famous.

The kid gives the impression he's an angelic little boy, but once he's in the ground he totally loses it. :lol:

Great footage & the brilliant atmosphere of the game.

It makes you feel you are actually there when you watch this video.

Better highlights than the media produces.

These kinds of videos are especially nice for those of us outside the country who don’t have the opportunity to be there like we’d like to be. Love it and agree with AJS that having a thread dedicated to chants and songs would be great. The wife and I are always trying to decipher them but only come away with bits here and there.

What a team Farke has built, i'm surprised nobody has found some reason to have a pop at him yet. If you cast your eye back to his first game in charge and his bench, I look at it yesterday, and every single one of them could've started without weakening the line-up.
Going 4=2=4 he might've found some use for Piroe as well, in fact how many players could we say he's improved, that could be a thread on it's own, i'll start the ball rolling with - Firpo, James, Piroe....????
Not to mention team harmony, happy players, dealing with issues on and off the pitch

Yes there was a distinct contradiction while talking as a guest of Angus, and when he joins in with the Leeds chant you can hear and feel his pent up frustration, at his team.

I love love loved yesterday’s game, what a tonic! But … and I can feel the venom against this comment already … one swallow does not a summer make.

Disclaimer: I truly believe we will WIN this league, with this squad. However, the lack of quality in certain positions (and we all know where they are) still needs to be addressed.

Listened thru my headphones, what a great atmosphere - my, but he swears a lot for a pre-schooler.

Headphones are the best way to listen to these videos, to capture the atmosphere.

Their cards are marked if they do.

May be worth a banning order for a couple of days. ;-) :lol:

Got a msg from LUTV saying the full replay of yesterdays game was available, can’t understand why they didn’t send me one for the Burnley game 🤔

Exactly BB. Cant fault that performance, we were at our best yeaterday and made Cardiff look poor, even considering their recent good form. In fairness we could and should have had scorelines similar to yesterdays in games this season, had we taken the many chances that we created. Yesterday was one of those games were it all went right, the more of them in the remaining games the better and we can all relax :)
The problem is after a game like that, some fans want that thing every game regardless of who we are playing, and we know thats not going to happen.
Fingers crossed for another win against Coventry but we wont get the same freedom against them like we did yesterday.
