I think Alex Scott was one of the first in her early Sky Sports days, and I can remember Souness looking at her as if she was stupid.

I am pretty sure I had never heard mention of low and high blocks until last season. Now every other manager and pundit seems to come out with these

 Id never heard the phrase low block until this past week! 

dont we still play 4-2-4 or 4-4-2 if we are being a bit defensive ?!

Some quotes from Marcelo's press conference today.

"I didn't take Leeds to the Premier League. I manage in the Premier League because of Leeds."

"I feel integrated with the city and also this region in England and also what surrounds it, Yorkshire."

"I would not consider any alternatives until my job here with Leeds is done."

"I don't imagine for my professional future, anything better than what Leeds represents as a job."

I get the sense that he will be with us for one more season, at least.

 

Edit

Added another quote in.

Sad to read Gordon McQueen is the latest player to be diagnosed with dementia

I have fond memories of Gordon. When was young, maybe 13 or 14, I played for a junior team called Kirk Deighton Rangers. Kirk Deighton is maybe 15 miles down the A1 from Leeds and close to Thorp Arch. Our coach organised for Gordon and Joe Jordan to come and give a training session to the squad; Joe Jordan subsequently signed for Man Utd. Anyway, I think it was Joe fell off his motorbike just before the training and didnt get to make it, but Gordon came along and gave us a couple of hours of his time. I managed to score a goal over my shoulder in the game we played, goal of my life - I was never in the first team, too short and not skilled enough, and got loaned to Harrogate Police Boys (all their team had walked away en masse so we loaned players to allow the fixtures to be fulfilled) team soon after, but highlight of my career!

Illan Meslier became a record breaker today becoming the 1st goalkeeper under the age of 21 to have 8 clean sheets in a single season. (Beating Joe Hart's 7)

Sad to hear about ( also ex St Mirren ) Gordon McQueen.

Leeds have 1.4 points per game average now. I see 1.333 as solid mid table (W,d,l) and around 49 or 50 points a year. Leeds are on track. (Harrogate are 1.3 now, tracking back in 13th out of 24)
