I nearly posted on Sunday evening but thought "what's the point" - which just shows how wrong I was.
I'm afraid I wasn't pleasantly surprised because in spite of winning I thought the football on show was pretty dire. Given that I only get to see the odd televised match these days it could be because (a) I don't know what I'm talking about [anymore?] or (b) you all watch them much more regularly so haven't noticed the decline over time ;) I get the "solid" bit, the chasing and denying space, I would add "some of their" in front of chances which to be fair is deja quelque chose, but I wasn't watching a promotion contender - even less so in Boro. The striking charateristic of Grayson's Leeds was their ability to play football which surprised Liverpool, ManU, Tottenham & Arsenal. Whilst you may have had to kick your way out of the second division in the old days, I think that QPR & Norwich (entre autres) have shown you're more likely nowadays to play your way out, and Sunday's Leeds didn't look like they could.
