I remember Jimmy "the chin" Hill earned widespread scorn when, after the entire Romania squad suddenly decided to dye their hair blond during the 1998 World Cup finals, he suggested the move might help them pick each other out when passing the ball... or confuse the opposition as to who was who.

Bamford's beacon bonce was an attempt to singnal to his comrades that he was on the pitch and it nearly worked since he got his head to the ball from a corner.

So we virtually slap another team, have a multitude of glorious missed chances, outplay them, are better all over the park, lots of team play and individual players.

But Boro who got beat, are a well coached side huh and defensively they weren't shite huh :roll:

Yeah reet.

When dya want DF sacked this week or next ?

Get a grip ffs.
Oh do shut up .

Read the comments from other people rather than your weird obsession with me.

xG*
Leeds: 3.35
Boro: 1.24

Possession
Leeds: 61%
Boro: 39%

Shots
Leeds: 20 total = 9 on target, 6 off target, & 5 blocked
Boro: 11 total = 4 on target, 4 off target, & 4 blocked

*Expected goals (xG) measures the quality of a chance by calculating the likelihood that it will be scored from a particular position on the pitch during a particular phase of play.
Would you be so kind to point this ^ feckin shite out to Cjay, i don't understand it, but let him know from me it might go an incy wincy way to why we didn't have a clean sheet :duno:

One of their goals a blistering shot and every credit for his run, and another a whipped in at speed perfect corner, glanced perfectly at abart 445mph past our keeper who should've held it according to stat Z.

Absolutely obsessed

Leave me alone you strange man :lol:

Borderline stalking.

Mention me in posts that have nothing to do with me, follow me round the forum talking drivel to try and get my attention.

Pick on someone else.

It's weird!!!!!

Incidentally 0.8 of our xG was a pen and we played vs 10 men for 30 minutes

But if will stop your obsession then absolutely spot on Kenneth

Three players with goals a plenty and Rutter starting to get a few, always goals in us.
I don't think we did, we met a team that were prepared to go toe to toe, and our strengths told, they were ALWAYS gonna get their chances, coz none of us parked the bus, twas a great game of footy.

If i was upset at anything it was when we went to game 'management' time again, knocking it abart like we're Spanish, and i do wish we'd continue like it's 2-2 unless we're cruising 4-0 up or summert

We were 2-1 up in minutes

Does anyone think we can get auto promotion?
To be fair at the start of the season with the chaos i didn't think we'd even get in a play off spot.

Farke has done an amazing job.

Can we snatch auto?

2nd coming of Jurgen Klopp.

Happy?

But if you really think we battered Boro etc and they didn't look a well coached team that lacks quality (and is injury ravaged incidentally) then you aren't the football oracle you've claimed.

We didn't.

Incidentally aren't you going to go shout at Leon? His comments hardly reflected yours about Boro.

Our potential problem was always going to be injuries and/or having to overplay players

I think we suffered a bit today from the 8 games in a week.

Should be better next game after a week off.

Exactly.

Let's judge him on what he's doing, done, and is currently working with :tup:

The Prem is different gravy, and he's gonna need help and some time, this current team might just about, and i mean just, put up a bottom 6 fight.
