Does it make any difference in knock abouts between teams like this ?
Yes I can see why the likes of Norwich, Middlesboro and so on who play a decent standard of football would benefit from better refereeing and video monitoring, especially when they have to travel into the midlands and be clogged all over the place, but when they're actually playing each other it's going to be the same for both sides , so why go to the expense ?

The whole philosophy of football and life is based on human frailty and I embrace it. VAR etc. is SHIT. You may aswell let robots play and work out the result using an algorithm. Where's the fucking romance in VAR? Fuck off.

VAR will be great. Managers calling for it will be aghast when they realise it is just other referees making a decision and not some genius, faultless robot.

Incorrect match changing decisions get the focus, and every week you see several. VAR is being brought in to try and ensure these errors get rectified. Some will, some won't, because we are still talking about 'in the opinion of the officials' whether they have a whistle or a flag, or whether they are sitting behind a screen.

Pablo Hernandez is the best player in the Championship. A joy to watch.

Sorry Fincho mate, but what we are witnessing now is the re-birth of The Blues.

Cunt of a shitsack wankstain tosser twat bastard Ian Abrahams opined that if Norwich gained promotion it would be a sad day for British managers everywhere. (If you don't know, our manager is German). I've never really had an issue with Ian, but this statement is fucking pathetic and really shows him up for what he is. A cock-sucking xenophobic Murdoch merchant who knows all too well he has zero talent or class so he tows the company line. A company man to the bitter end. One of the cunts who shovelled Jews into the ovens 'just because he was doing his job'. A fat fucking cunt.

Brilliant match, Elmohamady's defending was incredibly bad at the end.

It could well be the season for Leeds.

Jesus Christ, what a game and what a result! Top at Christmas with mostly the same squad from last season which finished mid-table.

Bielsa has so far proven to be an incredible appointment.

Fuck me. I retired with Leeds 2 down happy in the knowledge Naaridge were top only to wake this morning learning Leeds won 3-2. Fuck off. The Christmas period has been notorious for us over the years. The fact we got a result a Blackburn is massive. Getting out of this division is an utter bastard. Leeds look strong. I think they will win the division. I'm not so sure about us. We'll get in the playoffs I'm sure. Our midfield is our strength, if we pick-up an injury there we'll be fucked.

Great division though. Fantastic. Far more authentic than the Premier League. It's a league where you can still smell the 'deep-heat' and look over to someone in the corner is pumping up a leather ball.
