But there’s me committing the greatest crime in football punditry again:

“Remembering what someone said”.

As someone once said “this lot see a maverick genius changing the game in hitherto unexplored ways, I see a bloke who can’t organise a defence.”

Bielsa is quite rightly lauded in Leeds. But isn’t it funny how he isn’t mentioned anymore by the analysis brains in jars?

But he did. And yes he got Leeds up, but at the second time of asking having been outdone by *Frank Lampard*.

And then said footballing tactical genius main achievement of note was setting a new record for yellow cards in a season (obliterating the old one).

I’ve said it before. People like Cox and Wilson don’t actually *understand* the appeal of football and treat it as a dry, academic exercise. And relentlessly promoted Bielsa as some kind of footballing God thinking that he would never ever come to English football.

It’s always nice when data analytics experts, who constantly tell us that they understand football in ways that is mere mortals cannot understand, write articles telling us something that any actual fan of a football club could have told you FIVE FUCKING YEARS AGO.

I need to resubscribe to fill in the gaps, and I'm raising an initial £39.99 to help achieve this goal.

"I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain." This James Baldwin quote is hitting harder than ever.

People like Matt Goodwin, Nigel Farage, Stephen Yaxley Lennon are all responsible for the atmosphere that's been created that makes this possible. Glad the club is just being so open about it. Hope the player feels supported and safe.

Once again, one of our players has received vile racist abuse online.

This is a game that racists simply aren’t going to win.

Please join us in sending Teden our support, love and strength 🧡

On the absolute mess that Wolves have made of this season, and why bringing in a replacement worthy of the name at this time of the year is going to be a challenge.

unexpecteddelirium.substack.com/p/wolves-hav...
Wolves have dug themselves into a hole that they may find difficult to extricate themselves from
Sacking your manager six and half weeks after giving him a new contract doesn't seem like good business, but joined-up thinking seldom seems to be the Wolves owners' strong suit.

Motability in the news once more for giving out luxury cars. So I'll say it again once more - it's cheaper to get the luxury model with the features built in then to adapt a basic car with automated everything.

Or when someone took a comment seriously that was so obviously taking the piss, I posted once “that went so far over your head a steward is serving it drinks”.

It’s always amusing to see some people (usually drive-bys from the opposition and definitely not regulars) take them 100% seriously.

But then I’ve always preferred dry, deadpan stuff to an obvious joke.

Vlog might be a laugh if I get chance to do it this evening given the mood I’m in.

Feeling all of the sarcasm. Not quite the Liverpool level but definitely on the way.

Here’s another statement I don’t need to invent.

“Arsenal fans. Touchy bunch of fuckers, aren’t they?”

And if anyone asks why I can’t like this Arsenal team, it’s this sort of bollocks, and Eze doing similar in the second half.

And if anyone asks why I don’t like the Premier League it’s because the officials default to giving it.
