This is what you call Karma. Some avid fan has dug this out and pointed at the irony. It happens at 3 mins.
Just notice who celebrates with Figo as he scores with his hand. Yes, Karanka :shock:

Wigan used to be just a rugby town. It also had a Casino to add to the Wigan Pier.
Then one Monday morning at school, our class tortured the solitary Wednesday fan, with the humiliation of losing to the amateurs Wigan Athletic in the FA Cup.

Wow, how the league has changed.

Fleetwood, Crawley, Wycombe, Burton, Wimbledon, MK Dons, Accrington again, Forest Green, Stevenage, Yeovil, Morecambe, Cheltenham and Macclesfield. We’ve come a long way since the days of Barrow being re-elected. Those were the day’s when everybody thought Ipswich were the young un’s. Wigan and Wimbledon are the two that have made premiership.

There is no doubt, the leagues have benefitted from the decision to introduce automatic promotion in to the Football League. Not so good for Leeds, as we have only beaten Wigan twice in the league.
Berardi is the only player left of the last winning team but we could do with our centre forward that day, Billy Sharp.

Edmondson limped off after scoring his 6th goal in 3 games for the U23’s. Douglas came through safely, Clarke produced another assist and Harrison managed to get on the score sheet.
Sundays game is a must win for Leeds. Leeds could be 6th before kick off.
Wigan are relying heavily on home form and they have it.
Expecting it to be cold, breezy and hamstring weathery. We’ll be at breaking point with any more injuries and the winter hasn’t arrived yet.

Bielsa has plenty of thinking to do. Maybe he should change to a yellow bucket.

I see Wigan are still struggling for any sort of semi-decent attendances, having around 9,000 for most home games, although 12000 did come for WBA who possibly brought a few with them themselves.

Still a massively over achieving team when you consider the size of the fanbase

I've always had a fascination with the lower end of League Two (aka Div 4/3...) and top of the Conference. Joining/dropping out of the "92" still feels like such a momentous event.

I still think of Wigan and (original) Wimbledon as "old" League clubs, as they were there before 1987... there's certainly been turnover since. The counter-argument to it is that the FL has lost traditional clubs, mostly from working class Northern towns, and gained clubs with less history and support base, largely from the affluent South. That's probably true to an extent, certainly geographically, but League membership has to be on merit, and the likes of Burton, Wycombe and Yeovil have certainly thrived.

There may have been a few unsustainable millionaires' playthings (e.g. Rushden & Diamonds) but the competition to get in and stay in the League has to be a good thing on the whole, there were clearly stagnating clubs repeatedly getting re-elected via old pals' act before 1987. Although it's not always been the perennial cellar-dwellers who have actually fallen, some reasonably big names like Luton and Tranmere have found themselves outside the League for a while (the first former PL club to hit the National League can only be a matter of time). We're now seeing former League clubs like York, Stockport and Torquay fall into the regionalised tiers, without having liquidated and reformed like certain others. It will be a shame if those clubs sink into oblivion, largely through mismanagement, but the pyramid system is there for a good reason.

Top of the National League is also very interesting and close. Tim Flowers is doing an amazing job at my local team, Solihull Moors, who are riding high in the plays offs, up against big spending Salford City and the likes of Wrexham and Leyton Orient. The Moors have gone from paltry gates of around 150ish in the National League North, flirting with relegation but have turned it around, attendances averaging close to the 1,000 mark. Attendances could still be higher IMO, trying to convert some of the egg chasers round here :? but looking at Burton Albion, it makes you wonder how far a non league team can go (and possibly the "old" Wimbledon is the best example)

At the bottom of league two, Notts County haven't really clicked yet under Harry Kewell, despite initial promise. Grimsby and Cambridge both struggling a bit too after being non league for a while.

It's so close this year, you only have to put a run together of 3 or 4 wins and you go top from mid table. No team seems able to pull away

He stepped up and bent the ball up and over the wall. His talent was obvious, his name should have warned us all. What do we expect from somebody called James? 1-0 Wigan.
The next Leeds attack Klich fed Hernandez who side footed straight in to the net. 1-1, the match was just ten minutes old.
The rest of the half belonged to the shenanigans of Joe Mint Balls Garner. It became obvious what game plan he was supposed to impose on the opposition, as he ran in to Cooper again and fell over. No free kick this time. Next up Janssen, more flaying arms and fortunately for Joe, Pontus and the ref had a sense of humour. The tactic was failing this time as Leeds are, at last, starting to suss it out.
Leeds have continued with the same type of football, game in, game out. It pressures the other team in to doubt and it pays off occasionally. The Latics defence somehow managed to fool themselves and present Roofe with a straight forward walk in to the net.
The result today, was very good. Wigan had an excellent home record. Leeds showed they are trying their best to stay top. This is what we didn’t have that last year.
I noticed a few Leeds fans are not happy with Dallas being chosen as a defender. Today, Bielsa and the teams ethics have proved them wrong.
I’m very happy about the progress being made. Should our injury count keep within normal standards, I see no reason why this team should not make the play offs.

I have an admiration for the people of West Bromwich, having to cope with the movement of people between Wolverhampton and Birmingham. It’s coal, chemicals and metallurgy industries, helped it’s neighbours grow and prosper. And do they appreciate it?

Yep, I know the feeling.

Don’t feel too bad about it, you could have been Castleford.
Let’s ski over that subject as it’s local council is looking to replace it’s business lost. The world is a changing, like it has always done. Go ahead, complain about Billingham and Ferrybridge when you are washing your dishes.

The day’s of producing Bryan Robson have changed to producing Tyler Roberts.
Only joking, he’s just one of them and he’s only 19. Not everyone has to be a Michael Owen or Wayne Rooney. Others grow at their own pace, Vardy for example.
For every Rashford you have a Horsfield. What more can I say?

If I was on the blue bucket, I’d have Tyler on from the start. The reason? They, WBA, dumped him when he needed them most. He arrived nearly injured? Bought in January, didn’t play until August. For this reason and season, he was number three in line for the forward position. Bamford’s and Roofe’s injuries put paid to that. Overall he’s coped well.

The U23’s were in action against Crewe. They were whooped 3-1. Saiz and Baker both played well under par, Tyler got in to positions but had no finish. Harrison had a good first half to be replaced by Clarke,the solitary Leeds goalscorer.

Leeds are 25-22 up in the head to heads. The last three matches has produced 15 goals and WBA have won them all. Last time they met, Leeds were rock bottom of the Championship when WBA were sitting 4th. Things are different this time. WBA have just 1 point from the last 12 points available, Leeds have 7.

Feeling optimistic with this one, I’m going 3-2 Leeds and Clarke to start his goal tally.

Bielsa’s Moore dazzled than beaten.
That match has cost 4 points not 3.
The goal difference advantage has gone.
Yes, it’s that time of year you realize when there is only one pay day left before Xmas. This is one of those days. The easiest way to cope with it, is having to down grade your expectations. Marcelo delivered that feeling today.
I blame the main stream media. They’ve been talking up Frank’s Derby Darlings and Bielsa’s Babes and Boys, as examples to follow. Well, 0-3 and 1-4 doesn’t seem a convincing case. Who gives a Farke in your headlines of business?
Hey MSM, ‘You’ve been feeding us Fake News’
Leeds were beaten mentally today. Am I the only one who sees that the players seem to be more concerned with passing than which direction the goal is?
They are passing to each other in the box as though they are searching for that Holy Grail, of the referee giving us a penalty. That’s 55 games now without one, I think. Have the players got a rollover pot going for the one who gets it? Lad’s, it’s just a wacky stat that brings out the tin foil hats en masse. No excuses cover for a 4-1 defeat.
So, that’s it. Let’s tighten our belts, work on our expectations and lay off the whiskey at Xmas.

I'm getting fed up with these International breaks. It knocks me out of routine. The results have started to become secondary, now my first check is who got injured.
In my desperation I must find other things to do.

Bielsabub Babes. 40

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it ‘B’.

Bamford, Berardi and Brown will all be missing the Bank Holiday Bonanza of Xmas and the New Year.
Beaten by Birmingham, bullied by Brentford and broken by Blackburn. The B’s have been swarming. We have Bristol up next.
Looking back on the bright side, we squatted the first B, Bolton. Bamford saw to that but Blackman got beaten once. It was also in the ‘B’ Cup.
What we didn’t see was that B in Bromwich. It stung.

Bristol have managed to cover their sell ons with good replacements over the last couple of seasons. This season, their rubber hasn’t hit the road yet. They’ve lost their last three, to struggling sides. Preston, Reading and Stoke.
In the twenty head to heads, Leeds have won half of them, the Robins a quarter. On form, history and expectation, this is a home banker. I’m reserving my judgment on this.

So for the international break, I know which song we’ll be humming..

It was Premier League by then... not that he was actually a new manager, it was an impressive starting run after promotion. Back in the days when we thought it was just a one-season blip for Forest due to Cloughie’s drink-fuelled decline.

Another Full House. This was a middling just above the Championship relegation zone game, well it seemed like it. Huffering and puffering for the first 55 minutes. Then in typical championship style, a second yellow card for a poor challenge. What followed was text book expectations. 11 against 10, Bristol looked as though they gave up. The Whites took the advantage with both feet and played out the game in a comfortable manner.
The two debutants did their job. Huffer had a few wobbles when playing out of defence but he achieved his aim of a clean sheet. I’ll give him 7/10 because it was his debut. Halme, looked more confident than Huffer, showing everyone he’s wasn’t going to be phased by his new experience. Subbed on 64 minutes with Saiz taking his place, it was clear what plan Bielsa had in mind. And it worked. Roofe and Hernandez provided the goods.
Getting through the game with out an undue injury has made it a nice change. It feels as though we are limping along bravely at the moment, just to keep up with the pace. The pack leaders Norwich are showing a run of form that might just take them away. Yesterday was the first time since the 30’s that they have scored 4 goals in each of the last 3 games.
Reading arrive on Tuesday as the pace picks up towards Xmas.

I’ve always had a soft spot for Reading, since some of my family used to live there. It always struck me as a northern town in the south. It seemed to be more cultural than the likes of Basingstoke, Swindon and Slough. More Otis than Scott me thinks.
Not so many games over the years but Reading are two wins up.
The home fixtures have been W3 D3 L3.
Böðvarsson is their in form player with a healthy return of 7 goals in 11 games. There goes that B again but it is rumoured he’s out for this one. The Royal’s are unbeaten in three. The good news is their only away win came at Preston in September.
It’s on Tele again, it’s Xmas coming and it will be a cold evening. If they hit 30,000, that will be some achievement.
It looks like BFP will be back in goal and Halme will be started in position Pontus.
Tyler Roberts scored a brace in the U23 match yesterday and Edmondson came on late. Temenuzhkov had a good performance. They moved top again with a 3-1 win at Sheffield Utd. Hopefully a good omen for Saturday.

Funny fickle fans fight for failing thoughts.
During the international break many were calling for the axing of the Northern Irish duo, Bailey Peacock Farrel and Stuart Dallas. Bielsa, stubborn as he is, stuck it to them. 6 scrappy points gained from 6. Dallas scored the winner and Bailey baled us out with a penalty save in the dying minutes. Overall it was just about a deserved win.
Alioski had a howler in the first half, so cue, Jack Clarke. He’s fresh and gives it a go. There were times when Saiz was blaming Clarke for not passing to him whilst standing in an offside position. Clarke looked the better.
I had the feeling we had three points in the bag when Loader, got in a sharp shot, only for Meite to block it in his true awareness style. It would have gone in. I must admit, I had a quiet giggle about that. You see, Bielsa understands.
The two teams above us at the start both drew, so an excellent mid week point grab. Sheffield United got a late away win at Brentford making the build up to Saturday’s match at Bramall Lane much easier.
Yes, it’s on tele again.

I was going for the original, but what a "duet"? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASCjPATki8k

My favourite opening line for a Stand Up (in Montreal when it was a tad fractious): "Hello moosefoooockers! I tell you why I hate Canada, half of you speak French, and the other half let them. Why don't you speak Indian? You might as well speak the language of the people you stole the country off of in the first place."

The stage got invaded, and show ended....

It's a shame he said Hello, not Greetings, but hey ho.

Another top result for Ipswich, snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Bristol City at home was Lambert's best chance for a first win, and despite going ahead twice, we still managed to throw it away. The football the team are playing is better than it was under Hurst, but we're still making silly mistakes and getting punished.

I'm hoping Forest will be knackered after Wednesday's efforts to allow us to sneak a 1-0 win on Saturday!! :lol: :lol:

Early kick off. Sober fans?
Another Yorkshire derby. This time it’s a West Riding one.
It’s against United in the steely eyed city of Sheffield. I’d always considered the Blades to be the posh club of the city. I don’t know why but I do remember a Ted playing winter football at Bramall Lane then coming out in his flannels in the summer for Yorkshire. Cricket is probably the reason for my thoughts.
Sheffield are unbeaten in 3 and Leeds last blank was against Middlesbrough 13 games ago. The Blades haven’t lost a league game at home since the first match of the season. A draw would be a good result for Leeds.
Our biggest fear is that Sharp. He’s put 3 past us in the last two games, as a past player usually does. It only took him 2 minutes last time. This is where we need a Butcher not a Baker.
If Jansson is back where will that put Phillips?
Both set of fans want this won.
Out of 52 games Leeds are 6 up. The matches at Bramall have favoured Sheffield 11 wins to 7.
I’m going for the score draw 1-1.

Bristol City at home was Lambert's best chance for a first win, and despite going ahead twice, we still managed to throw it away. The football the team are playing is better than it was under Hurst, but we're still making silly mistakes and getting punished.

I'm hoping Forest will be knackered after Wednesday's efforts to allow us to sneak a 1-0 win on Saturday!! :lol: :lol:
8-) 8-) 8-) :lol: :lol: :lol:

When and where are the highlights shown?

Early kick off. Sober fans?
Another Yorkshire derby. This time it’s a West Riding one.
It’s against United in the steely eyed city of Sheffield. I’d always considered the Blades to be the posh club of the city.

Should be a tasty one ! I, too, would go for 1-1, although a red card could be lurking somewhere....

PS I see Bradley Johnson has got his just "desserts" with a four game for the attack on Joe Allen. Very Suarez-esque.
