Crap refereeing for that WBA penalty. Injury time as well.

Finally heard Mark Robins at Coventry get a mention as the miracle worker he is yesterday on Radio 5. The man has taken my team from lower end of League 2 up to having a small chance of a play off for promotion to the Premier League. All the while being forced to sell the best players to balance the books. I truly hope nobody like Leicester comes in for him at the end of the season.

I'm right on top of it, he gave us that to make up for the one he missed earlier. Ref is having a shit game.

Blimey! Missed the first 5 minutes and turned it on to see Spuds are 2 down already 😂

I expect I'll look at the table later though and they'll somehow still be fourth

EDIT: 3 down 😳

This is the funniest opening 20 minutes to a game I have ever seen! 😂

Spurs have had a whipping like this coming all season

That's not the emergency alert going off on your mobile, Antonio, it's the board of directors asking you to come back.

Spurs fans leaving after 20 minutes.

That’s a long old journey to watch your side ship 5 in 20 minutes, then leave and trudge back home 😂

Villa homing in on that European spot. Spurs don't deserve to be anywhere near it.

West Aaaaaaaaam are handing out a shoeing too

I’m enjoying watching this as I doubt I’ll be deriving much pleasure from watching us later, while we’re talking about shonkey defences

Hugo has gone off injured, i believe he's strained his back picking the ball out the net so often 😂

Is that Steve McLaren on the ManU bench??
Does he still have a Dutch accent?

Only when he’s speaking to Ten Hag

Not a bad match that. Our cobbled together defence did alright. Dave kept us in it again

Manchester Derby for the final 😃

First live game for a good while, helped remind me why I ride Saturday afternoons. A dire display against Coventry may be the final death knell for the once mighty Royals.

Leeds: we're the worst, most clueless team in the division.
Spurs: hold my beer.

Another cracking weekend for Leeds. I didn't even flinch when Fulham's goals went in - think I went to do the washing up or something. 2 (more) massive games next - Leicester and Bournemouth. And yet despite shipping 13 goals in 3 games, somehow, there are still 4 teams below us! Still pretty sure now we'll drop and would probably be for the best - change of ownership, change of manager, get rid of some of the utter rubbish Orta has brought in over the last few years and hopefully make some decent money on the few decent signings he's made. If by some miracle we stay up, still need a massive clear out and a manager here for the long term...

Apparently Spuds are about to sack their stand in manager, Cristian Stellini in order to appoint his assistant, Ryan Mason, until the end of the season. Lets see if whoever is then appointed Ryan Masons assistant, upon his promotion, will be in charge themselves by next week 😂

The lady who pushes the tea trolley at White Hart Lane has some interesting thoughts on how to execute a half-press defence, so this could work out for them eventually.

I imagine Conte may well have injured himself laughing so hard at that shambles yesterday.

Maybe he should have his parting words etched onto a plaque and installed on the wall outside Levy's office?

Its certainly worth revisiting in light of what has happened since he left

I'm with you here – I am resigned to us going down. It's no big deal, I'll still support them (ALAW). Hopefully our younger squad members could find themselves in the team in the Championship – Archie Gray scored a stunner at the weekend – it was almost Cantona/Maradona-esque! (he has only just turned 17 - the son of Andy Gray, the grandson of Frank Gray, and the grand-nephew of Eddie Gray, all of whom played for Leeds United and represented Scotland at international level).

(At about 2:10)

Massive performance from West Ham (as they say.) Especially after a Thursday game. Coming into form at just the right time with the European polystyrene cup semi's coming up.

Hope they go all the way in that comp though, brings a bit of joy (look at Roma last season) to clubs who are mid table quality at best and pushing on next year will be difficult when Rice goes. I wouldn't be surprised in some big offers come in for Paqueta too, he came in for a bit of a bargain price last summer as the Jury was out on him.

Jury's in now...

Players to refund travelling fans apparently. I’d want bloody compensation!

I’m watching the Fulham v Villa game which has started lively

My mate is a big Burnley fan and they’ve got Blackburn tonight at Ewood Park. It’s a proper grudge match and he’s just posted some pictures up of a lot of the Burnley fans wearing full chicken outfits like these

You’ve got to love football rivalries 😂

Villa up into fifth above Spurs now. The game started lively then became incredibly dull!

A point isn’t much use to Leeds or Leicester. It’s going to be one almighty scrap at the bottom to avoid the drop

What a miss by Bamford! That may have consequences…….

I don't even want to see the Bamford miss - just the way it was described in the minute-by-minute updates was painful enough.

I dunno. My take is that Southampton are doomed. 36 points should see you safe.

Every point counts.

It was pretty awful to be honest. A traffic cone in that spot would have scored.

West Ham beat Arsenal 5-1 in the FA youth Cup last night. The class of '99 might be a stretch (Cole, Carrick) but fingers crossed some of them break through.

Bamford doing a Bamford but luckily it would have been ruled out anyway.

To any of the Spurs fans that don't already, have a listen to the View From The Lane podcast as it was great after the last match! Oh, and goes without saying that us Leeds should be listening to The Square Ball.

Leeds yet again showing why they'll go down with a whimper. Gracia seemed to start well but in the last 4 games has shown exactly why he never lasts in a job. We were AWFUL last night, absolutely dire. Shocking football being played by a group of players who looked like they've never played together before. The Aaronson sub was weird beyond belief. And not getting Rutter or Gnonto onto the pitch when desperate for a bit of energy to see the game out is just plain wrong. Don't want to see Bamford's miss but I can imagine it - we've seen it time and time again over the years.

And of course Vardy who hasn't scored in 19 games grabbed a goal (should have had a hat trick). Bournemouth away next who feel a lot more galvanised as a team rather than our disjointed farce so I can see us getting beat. Then theres the small issue of Man City and Newcastle where we'll likely get absolutely pumped.

Gideon Kodua's chipped goal for the 3rd was something else, well worth a rewatch.

The West Ham v Liverpool game is incredibly open. Entertaining but ragged.

Arsenal are being torn apart here, just the score doesn't reflect it yet.
