        It was BS. Game would have been called off by now given Brighton fan’s journey time to Leeds. I’m not going to lie, I did have squeaky bum time last night on here when a guy from Leeds said it was -9 there last night

    I'm probably looking too far into this, but anyone else noticed how the nearer to deadline we get, the more movement there is away from the captain poll leader?

          I think he has only recently moved further up the field, in behind the striker.

          It also probably took a while to recover from all the Mallbec after the WC.
