Cheers Ed. Amazing scenes at Elland Rd. You didn't think the dramatic "hit the deck" to get the Villa player sent off was worth a mention? :)

{Ed001's Note - Bamford's play acting? I was just rushing this morning as I woke up late and never had time to really put some details or I would have given him a lot of stick for being Neymaresque.}

Out of the whole thing with Leeds that was the moment that was most unsportsman like, yet barely mentioned. The red should be rescinded and Bamford get a three game ban for simulation.

{Ed001's Note - what about when Hourihane threw a punch at Klich?}

I haven't seen that! Surely a few retrospective punishments being thrown about then. What's your view on the Leeds goal ed? I don't think they should of given villa a goal back, you do not stop until the ref blows.

And good to see you posting after your self imposed hiatus salah.

{Ed001's Note - the EFL have a lot of work to do after that game. I am with you too, Leeds did nothing wrong, Villa were play acting constantly and I hate it when teams put the ball out anyway. The ref should make the decision to stop the game or play on.}

Cheers Ed. Crazy stuff between Leeds and Villa. didn't need to be done but shows the class of Bielsa ordering his team to let villa score.

On a side note, really happy for Virgil winning the PFA player of the year. Well deserved IMO. Hope you have a good day Ed.

{Ed001's Note - cheers Kk, it would have been better had Burnley picked up a result.}

oh man, I really don't think footballers should be fighting for morals of the game. thes esame guys that rant and rave at every ref decision!? give me a break. let the ref call when the play should stop, otherwise keep playing.

Agreed Ed. I think Leicester are our only hope now. can't see Brighton getting anything on the last day. Never know though, stranger things have happened.
I'm really excited for Barcelona now. Hoping we play with nothing to lose. I feel that if we really attack them we'll expose their weakness at the back.

Faithinworks, totally agree. If the AV players had actually carried on playing instead of running around waving their arms and shouting they would probably have prevented Leeds from scoring. It is up to the referee to stop play if a player is injured, if he doesn’t then carry on until the ball goes out of play. I am a big fan of Bielsa but if I was a Leeds fan I would be furious with him for ordering his team to concede a goal. I don’t regard it as sportsmanship, I regard it as giving in to the AV mob led by their manager and - surprise, surprise - John ‘I am a legend’ Terry. And as for the fisticuffs and play acting after the Leeds goal the referee looked completely out of his depth but to be fair there were so many things going on he didn’t seem to know where to look. It will take the EFL a lot of video watching to sort that lot out.

Totally true ed01. Its not over yet. Last month city were smashing everyone 5/ 6 nil. Now they are winning by 1 or 2. Feeling the pressure no doubt. I think city have more pressure on them, playing after us and just the amount of money that's been pumped into the club for the last 10 years. I can see them drawing a game. But we still have to win every game.

{Ed001's Note - time will tell.}

Ed, you saying about "Neymaresque" did you watch the French cup final? Both sides were trying for oscars, it was disgusting to see.

{Ed001's Note - no mate never saw it.}

Lol thank you WY. I couldn't keep away mate, I tried to fight it and I failed, the site is far too addictive. Bugger the silly sods. I can't leave, even for a few weeks.

I said I'd return when we win the league but we've already won it so that's my excuse. ;) .

The reason why the goal wasn’t good for me was that the guy on the left wing slowed the play right down and to all purposes looked like he was going to kick the ball out so all the villa players completely stopped dead. He then played the through ball. It’s that looking like your stopping and then carrying on which made it unsportsmanlike for me.

Had he not done that then I don’t think Villa could have had any complaints.
