Spent over £10M on him Finn, from memory.

We bought Justin for £10m, Finn.

A bargain, imo!

I didn't see that at the game, as I had the best celebration ever after Leeds has scored a goal, with probably the prettiest young lass in the stadium. :-D

Those moments made an old codger very happy. :clapp:

Feb looks tough though and hope we aren’t looking over our shoulder by 1st March when fixture list improves

Nervousness awaits

From Jan 31 we have
Arsenal (h)
Forest (h)
Chelsea (a)
Villa (a)
Man City (h)

Tough schedule - helmets on - dig in
We were in a much worse position going into December with an upcoming difficult fixture list.

At least this time, we have a cushion.

Maybe in hindsight, given Frank's struggles, he wasn't as bad as the results suggest.

Great win yesterday, thought it was going to end in a bore draw, but we got the win, with some inspired substitutions.

He was dreadful.

Frank may be struggling but better form than Ange and same for Dyche at Forest.

Had West Ham not won yesterday then a 10 point gap, 11 with GD would have been a real mental blow for them and their fans. As it is 8 points is still a good margin but to me at least it doesn’t seem insurmountable especially if they are starting to find form which West Ham fans seem to think they have, though I think any team would of beat spurs yesterday - I've been wary for a while that forest and West Ham have the quality of players to string runs together, look at Everton so often it looked like they were gone and they found results - we have shown we can compete but at the same time I don’t think we are capable of beating either sides results if and it’s a big if they build up a head of steam.

Was a really important win in context.

Despite the struggles Nuno is having at West Ham their ppg in the league is actually only a shade under the average needed for survival (34.5 points they are on under him average is 35).

And Dyche is well above the average, over a season on target for over 40 points, a higher ppg than us in fact.

So it's still close, a win or two could change everything so important to keep than gap.

I think he’s just lucky.
You're dead right he is Jay :tup:

Nailed it again 8-)

He's never gonna be up to it at this level, but we all knew that anyway :lol:

It's just a matter of time before Papa's Gotta New Qarabag Marathe sees the light and gets a proper "Prem proven" manager.

We could do worse than Paddy as player/coach he's "Leeds through and through" 😂

Or Ayling? 😂

I had Justin as my MOTM at HT, after that he wasn’t needed as much and had a reasonably comfortable second half.
