So no doubt Stuart Dallas is the greatest footballer ever, right?

Man i lost it emotionally in the finale.

Bielsa doing his first interview in 20 years and tearing up when talking about the fans and staff at the club

I think as a true fan the one thing about the documentary that was truly revealing was that Radrizzani wasn’t happy with the impromptu Bielsa presser. I follow every major Leeds news source and there was never really a word about that.

That west brom night was fricking great. And villa away before xmas. 2 of my favorite days ever including the glory days.

fricking Casilla/Cooper. At least they have been excellent since.

Barry Douglas GOAT.

Watched the first episode tonight. My roommate is new to soccer. I was contemplating showing him the real English football pyramid, but I don't think he's ready for that just yet.

Best part of the finale is Bamfordinho taking the piss over his dive.

As a Leeds fan, Episode 5 hurt a lot more than Episode 6. Leeds had already blown it. They were in FIRST PLACE with five games to go and only earned four points in their final 5 games, one of them a tie in the season's final game when they had already missed out on auto promotion.

The Wigan game still gets me. Leeds lost to a team that hadn't won a road game all season who was also down to 10 men. I just... I could barely watch it. The Derby playoffs was just putting a team out of its misery.

I liked the doc though I wish there had been more with the players. The show was produced by Radz, so of course he puts himself in the best light (though I was impressed with Orta the entire doc... who can remember the last time Leeds had competent management?) But I wanted more of Ayling, who was the star of the player interviews. And Phillips, who my wife is now prepared to leave me for. His gran kicked arse and needed more screen time.

I wanted to know what it was like for them. More than just a shot of Jansson looking off into space or Alioski crying. We've seen those images already. I wanted the guys in the locker room.

We also got nothing on the Jansson fallout. And Saiz never even appeared in the doc. Kind of conspicuous absences.

Saiz makes a couple on field cameos but they never mention his exit (also left out Roofe’s injury before the 2nd leg)

Ayling and Phillips grandma were great. I wish they could’ve had another episode or 2 to try and cram more of the players personal lives in. Imagine what they’d have to cut had we reached Wembley.

Ep 5 def hurt worse, 6 was just so well done. The music playing showing everyone getting ready on matchday ahead of the 2nd leg brought me back to 1-9-12, walking around the grocery store that day watching people of all walks of life decked out in p&g high fiving chanting LSU, only for the game to play out.

Good Friday was tough. I literally fell down when wigan went in front. Just unreal. I already knew we’d frick up at Brentford because Brentford away seems like playing at jordan hare for us.

Apparently season 2 is happening. Cameras were at the forest game.

My favorite part is Bamford’s reaction to Ayling and Jansson giving him the business over his dive

Wish they featured that chant more (or at least let the crowd get out more than 3 words of MOT before changing scenes)
