I love this man. But he does look like a contestant on Shooting Stars here.

Marcelo Bielsa refused to do any acting during the official World Cup photoshoot.

The Uruguayan 🇺🇾 coach has repeatedly denounced the tournament in the United States, criticizing its commercial and political excesses.

@Adam84501837 He wasn't in a bush. Not saying it was right, but he was watching from a public footpath. Surprised Boro's training is so open really.

@oliverbrown_tel Did he tell the bit where his soon to be ex-wife, Julia, who was battling cancer at the time, had to fly out to Doha to say everything was okay and that he hadn't committed adultery to spare him from 50 lashes?

@JacobsBen Can he just shut up? You got found out, Jesse. Move on with your life.

On face value, you can spin the racism narrative easily. When the break was called, there was nothing more than a murmur. Then Pep called his entire team over, Farke followed and the game stopped for a prolonged tactical break after 13mins. Booing ensued.

[Kick It Out @kickitout]

Kick It Out statement:

It’s massively disappointing that some Leeds United fans booed when Manchester City’s players broke their fast during the first half of the match at Elland Road this evening. This was compounded by the fact that an explanation was displayed on a big screen inside the stadium.

Pausing the game to allow Muslim players to break their fast during Ramadan has been an agreed protocol for several years now. It’s an important and visible part of making the game welcoming for Muslim players and communities.

But as tonight’s reaction shows, football still has a long way to go in terms of education and acceptance.

[Miles Reucroft @ReucroftMiles]

Arsenal, Forest, Chelsea (a), Villa (a), City. Thought we might be back in the bottom three after that run. That's no longer possible. Five points from that run is a great return, anything against City will be a bonus. Elland Road, under the lights, nothing to fear...

@robprogressive My wife got hit whilst stationary at a junction. Car which hit her claimed the car behind her shunted her into my wife. Insurance never paid out because it was a disputed claim. Admiral tried to force her to pay for their in-house legal team to resolve it. Complete scam.

[Miles Reucroft @ReucroftMiles]

He had a shocker tonight unfortunately. Not going to force his way into the starting XI like that.

90 - Four added as Tanaka tries to slip DCL into the area, gets the weight of the pass all wrong.

1-1

Leeds United are the second team in Prem history, after Leeds United, to take the lead in a game three times and lose. Did it under Jesse Marsch as well

Newcastle second team in Prem history to win having trailed at 90mins. After Spurs. Who beat Leeds having trailed three times.

LUFC playing in a 5-3-2:

@FulhamFC @RyanSessegnon Any chance of delaying kick off? Public transport is knackered!

[Miles Reucroft @ReucroftMiles]

10% of the way towards safety... 37 games to go. Come on Leeds!

[Miles Reucroft @ReucroftMiles]

@dieworkwear I love that you know who Kumar Sangakkara is. Do you fall in the camp that view him as an elite 21st Century batsman, or did he pad it out a bit against Bangladesh and Zimbabwe? Elite dresser, no question.
