Once again, like being back in the Championship. But in a good way this time.

I truly feel privileged to have lived to see the 2 greatest Coach/managers ever and both for Leeds United... The Don and Marcello... And you cannot compare (really) them as different era's, different mindset's... but this is definitely the second coming (third if you add Wilkinson's era in ) of Leeds United ...MOT

Dallas and Klich could have easily made that team also ...

We are the lucky ones Smudge

Imagine going to your first Leeds match as a kid in March 1963/64

You could only dream of what was to come over the next twelve seasons

Could similar dreams be occurring again

Indeed

Robertson at LB didn't have one of best games imo!

Ah, it's only because it wouldn't be fair to other team's fans had Crooks put eleven Leeds players like he should have done

Absolutely would have put Dallas in for Fernandes

What have you made of the Leeds start and where will they finish?
Ciaran Wallace via Twitter

Peter Crouch
They are just a great team to watch, Ciaran. I was engrossed in the game against Manchester City, as it was like a throwback — two teams that just wanted to attack and didn't really worry about the consequences of bombing forward.

It says everything about the belief Marcelo Bielsa has instilled in his players that they were able to shake off a nervous start and go toe-to-toe with City. I like Luke Ayling. I like Kalvin Phillips and Mateusz Klich and Patrick Bamford. And Helder Costa impresses me whenever I see him.

They are going to concede a few goals just from the adventurous way they play but they are going to score plenty and I don't think anyone will underestimate them. I'd go as far as to say they will comfortably finish in the top half. My only regret is for the supporters.

They have waited 16 years to be here, to have a team in the top flight they can be proud of. But now they have got everything they have wished for the fans have to watch it on television. Just imagine how good Elland Road would have been on Saturday. What a shame.

Bootiful aint it...

quote...

The Whites may only be eighth in the early-season table, but they are untouchable in almost every statistic when it comes to hard work

...4 games in 2W 1D (against 2nd best team in the league) 1L (against the best team in the league)..."only" he says

quote...

The only question now is: can they maintain this furious pace?

The constant question... we will be getting it all season ...
