6-0 Leeds. Sunderland bottle it again this time at home to Blackburn as do Middlesbrough away at Wednesday and Throstles sink down to mid table but it’s been a great competition with Burnley v Sheffield United still to come.

Leeds are giving it five at the moment

West Brom losing at home to Derby - another season in the championship awaits the baggies.

Leeds 5-0 up on Stoke at HT. If this is what 49ers can do for you, bring it on.

I would like Safe Standing, does that mean I'm pandering to the trouble makers, or trouble myself? There is an apatite for safe standing that is outwith the singing section. Let's not deny that during most games, a large section of our support stand, and not just in the UB section. I'm in BF4 and have to stand rather than sit most home games. With dedicated safe standing areas those who want to stand can without inconveniencing those who want to sit.

Looking forward to the Burnley v Sheffield later

It really isnt rocket science as Cammy points out above. But in recent years we seem to have chosen players who up their game for the big Euro nights, and do not reach anything like those standards in our domestic games, especially away from home. We need to be choosing players who really want to win titles and cups here and understand that the Euro action is the bonus. Unfortunately I think the players we can attract seem to know the shop window only opens on Thursday nights and that a stirring performance against Kilmarnock or Motherwell isnt going to attract similar attention in their ambition to move upwards. I again agree that a lot of these problems can be alleviated by a style of play that beats the low block that we face in over 3/4 of our domestic games. We dont ever seem to have enough goals in us, despite spending big on strikers they dont deliver often enough, and we dont have midfielders that chip in often enough to take up the slack. Playing 2 defensive midfielders and continually playing number 10's wide instead of in the 10 has been a failure of more than one manager. The domestic title, and therefore entry to the CL, is absolutely there for us to grasp, and it wont take hundreds of millions or years to achieve, just a decent manager, style of play, board, DoF and owners all on the same page. To beat the rest consistently should be the ambition. The rest can all come from there.

AI generated, man generated, whichever way you see it, it’s a puzzle indeed. We are no different in solving our future or our direction in which we are going until the deal is done. Let’s hope there is some direction in which we are going and are not just in a line, as I see good things coming from Leeds with the new owners. I suppose it’s been similar with Newcastle and Ashley , get the rotten apples out and hopefully the new apples will be more successful. In my own opinion, I think we should be run by us, the fans, then we will know what’s going on via a voting system, but that ship has long sailed, so we need to rely financially driven decisions rather than just passion and pride. A puzzle is indeed an overrated example here; it’s more like Hellraiser's cube, and only those who are in the loop will actually know its true meaning and outcome.

I would like the new owners to absolutely rule out safe standing areas within Ibrox. The current board appear to have got something right. Lets not pander to the trouble in our support until they can go at least a full season without causing us any fines or reduced capacity.

I think your AI got it right there. It didn’t need to go any further.

How do the rest of us manage to live sustainably? It’s not difficult. Keep one number lower than the other.

Thanks, that’s very kind of you.
