Yes great day out in the rain. Town was rocking and that just encouraged more
pre-match drinking. Piroe scored 4 and I'd sell him now while stock is high. He
also wasn't man of the match though for me as I'd give to Bogle who for me
looks like he could be player of the year after a dodgy start. Stoke looked
non-league and the only disappointment was that we didn't go on to score 8 or 9
(or 10). I quickly hurried back into town to watch the Burnley game and then
carried on drinking into the evening. Tough day today at work but had to be
done.
Which players have a chance in the PL ? and who will be looking for new clubs ?
I honestly don't think many of that team are premier league players. Maybe
James, Rodon, Ampadu, Bogle ?
Going to be an interesting Summer.
Scores:
Darlow - 7. Absolutely nothing to do apart from one shot that went straight at
him Bogle - 10. Terrorised their left back Rodon and Ampadu - 7. Easy games
Firpo - 8. Playing as an additional forward for most of the game. Tanaka -
8Gruev - 8 Willy - 8 Solomon - 9. Looked top class Piroe - 10. 4 goals, say no
more
Subs: Bamford, Largie, Byrom - didn't do much Gray - did he touch the ball ? He
covered a lot of ground.

What a day - this is what it's all about.Absolutely dying today but we'll
worth it.Pre match I was fairly confident and composed and kept saying we would
do it- most common response was " why would you say that, have you not seen
Leeds?"I also said that Piroe would surely break his barren streak So I got it
right but never in my wildest imaginings did I expect what we got 6 0, 6
funking 0 in a game we needed to win. Amazing and even more surprising we did
it so early and so easily
We were all over them like a rash, giving them nothing to hold onto and
reminiscent of Bielsaball we forced them into error after error and boy did we
take advantage of it , Piroe doing what we signed him for and what he does
best, putting the ball into the net. Bogle was also brilliant again, he gave
their full back no time or space and kept winning the ball back.1-0 after 6
minutes, perfect start, 2-0 after 8, all nerves gone, 3 up on 20 party time, 4
and 5 before half time dreamland, then as we celebrated in the rain a lovely
cross and header by Willy to really put the icing on the cakeSo job done and
off back to the pub to watch Burnley v Sheff U. Atmosphere was great as the
beer flowed and we knew that Sheffiled weren't going to get the victory they
needed to stay in the race.Final whistle and cue pandemonium We then jumped a
taxi back to ER to join the thousands there drinking and setting off flares.I
even ended up on the Bremner statue a 66year old bloke acting like a giddy
teenager-that's what football does to youJust brilliant and our chance to make
up for not being allowed to celebrate last time.Eventually we got the train
back to Manchester and as we got off the train Victoria station resounded
with "Leeds are going up" as the 20 odd of us Leeds fans carried on celebrating
It is what makes it all worthwhile We are Leeds and we are premier league
