Still do not fathom how they are at the top. They are really not very good.

Fair points Dave. Going to be a nail biting 2 months!
Re the Alioski song, it was written by a teacher at King James’s in
Knaresborough - maybe that’s who you sit near? It is funny (first time)!
Read loads of moaning about yesterday from Leeds fans re Kiko (def a red card)
- selective blindness. I did think Baldock could easily have had 2 yellows for
his ‘looseners’, and Sharp’s sneakiness in standing on Pontus’s achilles and
the backwards head but are all part of the little c*nts armoury - if it had
been Ian
Baird doing it we’d have loved it. Glad he didn’t score though. Bamford got
plenty of treatment early on, but I thought he was excellent in the first half.
Sheffield were reasonably organised, but we lost because we didn’t take the
chances we created - just got to hope that teams they play going forward have
better finishers than ours.
Why does Jansson constantly play the wounded soldier - is he knackered and
looking for a rest mid game, or giving everyone else a rest? Not talking about
his final knock, but before.
Hey ho, 8 games - anything could happen!
