Enjoy the international break guys! Our team has done us proud, our fans have done us proud! With our limited numbers, we will benefit from the break as much or more than anyone. Plus, time for our fantastic coaching team to have an impact and Bielsa to spend his time on the 8 teams left. Who knows what is going to happen, but I love this year and what we've done and the memories will stay with me forever. 37,000 fans at Elland Road is the closest I come to religion and win or lose it's always a really emotional experience for me and one I am thankful that I can enjoy! Born in Yorkshire, some of my happiest experiences and most important family lived and died a bus ride away. Means a lot to me and every trip to Elland Road feels like a pilgrimage!

I'm off to Spain to recharge my batteries and calm down a bit! Stay safe everyone and Alf, Al and Bermo and others, if you're up for the Millwall game, let's have a time and place for a Peacock pint!

Thanks Gray, i'm happy to admit I shed a tear or two sometimes when we’re singing marching on together before the game starts! i'm sure I’m not alone. I go in the cafe across the road from the ground and the peacock and see Dads and grandads going with sons, daughters grand daughters. For some it’s a irregular visit for others it’s a pre match routine they’ve been doing for years and the memories are forever! I’m sure we’ve all been through a lot of ups and downs! I love it! On Saturday I stood watching the last of our players leaving the pitch being serenaded by the blades fans singing “ Leeds are falling apart again”! Let them have their moment! Saturday confirmed to me that the two teams that should go up automatically are us and Norwich!

Enjoy your break Spanish. Love your posts. Just wish I was closer to enjoy a pint in the Peacock but rest assured I’m enjoying this season as much from the south coast!

I never "enjoy" international breaks but this time it appears to have come at an opportune time for us. Allowing Pontus to be treated, Roofe to recover and MB to get them firing again.
