If you don't want your opponents to celebrate don't choke away a win in your biggest (and their biggest) game of the year.

I wonder if that carried on into the tunnel ?
SKY TV reckon the trouble continued in the tunnel.

It sounds like it. Apparently Wilder was having a go at two of their players as they came off the pitch, so it must have continued and then really kicked off in the tunnel.

Was impressed by Firpo’s attitude in the last 20 mins. He was all over the pitch trying to make something happen, it is evident he wants to leave on a high and is working his socks off.
Junior was super cool today. 8-)

Three on the trot is a wobble but they have somehow picked up points throughout the season without looking a good side.
Maybe it’s all balancing out?

Management took a bit of a risk betting the squad were good enough to earn promotion. I agreed that it was, and it looks as though it's going to play out that way.*

Smart decision in retrospect as it allows us to splash the maximum amount of cash this summer.

* My father was an economist and he told me never to make an absolute statement about any phenomenon without prefacing it by saying "all other things being equal." So in that same spirit I'll add to this statement: we are Leeds, though, so anything can happen.

2 Plymouth players (Gyabi and Bundu) seemed to go out of their way to stand right in front of our fans and celebrate/provoke. I don't blame him.

Good lad Darko!

Dan has been superb as has Soloman, both have frighten the championship defenders.

12 goals & 9 assists for Dan

8 goals & 10 assists for Manor.

I think Sky didn’t put microphones near the crowd. The usual “Sky TV isn’t very good” or words to that effect chant was barely audible. Wonder why?
