Morning Leeds-in for 11 December: Pundit complains about Leeds winning and looks like a fool

Idiot pundit talks shit about Leeds and Norwich City because foreign managers win or something.

Chris is right, under Bielsa, Leeds have played a plethora of English talent, promoting from within rather than looking for the next big thing from overseas (and if you haven’t seen Phil Hay’s tweets about it, go check them out now). And from what fans of Norwich have said, they play a lot of English talent as well.

And even if Bielsa (or Farke) had brought in some “ringers” from overseas, so what? Plenty of “foreign” managers and players in the Premier League, and some of them have been brilliant for English football. Arsene Wenger wasn’t exactly born in North London, was he?

Everyone’s gotta trash Leeds, whatever.

On to the links.
