Man City and Pep Guardiola are ruining Kalvin Phillips's career. A player of his caliber in his prime just sitting out game after game. Get him back to Leeds! (or anywhere, frankly, because it's such a waste of an amazing player to languish on Pep's bench of doom)
I think Bukayo Saka could be a nominee for ‘everyone loves this footballer’
I like Bamford more for his personality than his skills to be honest. I also like him more than most other footballer out there. Dude is interesting to listen to and has something intelligent to say, unlike almost every other player. I really hope he becomes a coach and a manager later in life. I predict good things for him. Also, I do consider him a Leeds legend and has had at least three absolutely stellar seasons at the club.
Kalvin is a lovely fella. He's brilliant with fans and in particular, he's superb with young fans and disabled fans. He is so genuine. I really hope he gets his career back on track wherever he goes.
Got to love Paddy, these podcasts are really great.
Love Kalvin. Such a trooper. He was the engine room for us at Leeds. Not dynamic but always busy with a great work rate. My old Mum (82 from Grimethorpe)and me still miss him. Would welcome him back in a heartbeat. Others may disagree but that's my humble opinion 😁
This is great, thanks guys
Pat/Joe is Bielsa speak in English to the squad?
I've been following Bielsa for a while and what he did at Leeds was beautiful. I am from Peru and started following Leeds since the very beginning (when Bielsa got the job) and man those first games were intense. The fact they made it to the Premier League without a big budget is something you gotta respect. That 4-3 game with Liverpool even though they lost made you think something was happening to the team. Marcelo is the best hands down
