We keep saying it. 3 00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:12,120 The atmosphere is superb. The games get bigger. 4 00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:15,200 But this is the major clash of the season. 5 00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:19,000 Top-of-the-table Leeds United taking on second placed Norwich City. 6 00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:23,240 United with the chance to go six points clear of their nearest rivals. 7 00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:58,280 After 29 games of a gruelling 46-game Championship season, 8 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:02,520 Leeds United stand three points clear at the top of the table. 9 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:05,960 January has been a tough month. 10 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:08,720 The Spygate saga was followed 11 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:12,240 by the collapse of the Dan James transfer at the final minute. 12 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,120 And Leeds' form has suffered since the end of December. 13 00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,120 They've lost four from six games. 14 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:26,200 Marcelo Bielsa's side 15 00:01:26,320 --> 00:01:30,040 now face their closest rivals Norwich City at Elland Road. 16 00:01:34,960 --> 00:01:36,400 It's a six-pointer, this one. 17 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:38,080 Yeah, top of the league clash - Norwich. 18 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,360 Probably the biggest game in the past 10 years, summit? 19 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:42,680 Well, since the last play-offs, I'd say.

You're gonna be there when you're ready." 51 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:14,840 And so I'm itching to get back, yeah, now I'm just ready to go. 52 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:19,120 Norwich City are a team Marcelo Bielsa admires and respects. 53 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,640 It's a team that attacks very well. 54 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,720 It's a team that's designed to attack. 55 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:32,800 So, we want to attack, but we will have to defend as well. 56 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:39,360 We are top of the league! Say, we are top of the league! 57 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:43,440 There's no doubt about it, Leeds come in in very inconsistent form. 58 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:49,640 They are up against the Canaries, who are a far cry from the side 59 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,800 that Leeds beat earlier on in the season three-nil at Carrow Road. 60 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:06,120 From the kick off, Norwich take control 61 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:08,920 and, with just five minutes on the clock, 62 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,640 win a free-kick in a dangerous position. 63 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,080 Vrancic with the free-kick for Norwich. 64 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:18,680 It takes a little deflection off Forshaw and past Casilla it goes. 65 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:22,240 And Norwich give Leeds the worst possible start 66 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,360 by taking the lead at Elland Road. Leeds nil, Norwich one. 67 00:04:27,280 --> 00:04:28,960 Ah, man, you've gotta laugh. 68 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,320 Alioski... so close with a volley. 69 00:04:38,840 --> 00:04:41,520 Leeds' start to the game is frustrating to their fans. 70 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:42,760 Hit it, Ayling! 71 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:46,960 Roberts is through here for Leeds United. But he's been clattered by the keeper. 72 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:50,840 And surely that could well be a red card. 73 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,320 He's lucky. He just sees yellow. 74 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,880 And Norwich remain one up with eleven men on the pitch. 75 00:04:58,000 --> 00:04:59,400 He took him out! 76 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:01,760 It's an edgy atmosphere inside Elland Road. 77 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,160 And Norwich smell blood. 78 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:11,040 Norwich could be in here. Shot comes in, the block, and it's squirmed free 79 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,880 and Pukki has the simplest chance to double Norwich's lead. 80 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,920 Has he give that? Has he fucking give that? 81 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,400 They are two-nil ahead here at Elland Road 82 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:24,520 and that margin of victory will send them back to the top of the table above Leeds. 83 00:05:25,280 --> 00:05:27,720 They're being undone by a very good side. 84 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,280 Leeds need to get back into the game before half-time. 85 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,960 Alioski with the free-kick for Leeds. Lifting it in towards the penalty spot. 86 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,400 It's dropped by Krul and put in by Ayling. 87 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:41,720 Leeds are back in it. 88 00:05:41,840 --> 00:05:43,080 Has he given it or what? 89 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,360 Oh, but it's been ruled out. Another decision goes against United. 90 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,480 It remains two-nil Norwich. 91 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,080 Bielsa attempts to shake things up. 92 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:55,120 Star striker, Patrick Bamford, who has been out through injury, 93 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:56,160 is brought on. 94 00:05:57,840 --> 00:06:00,000 This is the marquee signing. 95 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,720 £10 million worth of player for Leeds United brought in the summer. 96 00:06:03,840 --> 00:06:07,400 Two injuries. Can he come back and help rescue this game? 97 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,720 It's going to drop for Vrancic. He's squeezed it through past Casilla. 98 00:06:20,840 --> 00:06:24,920 Surely game over now. Norwich three up at Elland Road. 99 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,120 I can't see Leeds coming back from this one. 100 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,120 Bamford gets up and scores. 101 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,840 It won't mean too much but it will for him. 102 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,200 An important moment for the number nine. 103 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:56,080 The three-one defeat is a crushing blow for Leeds' promotion hopes. 104 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,600 Norwich leapfrog them to go top of the table on goal difference. 105 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:04,560 Leeds Leeds are falling apart again! 106 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:09,280 The result means Leeds have lost five times in seven games. 107 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:12,440 Leeds scum We all hate Leeds scum 108 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:14,840 I don't know what to say after that. 109 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,440 That was like not watching a Bielsa football team. 110 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:19,520 That was not the Leeds I've seen all season. 111 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,720 Absolutely fucking gutted. Embarrassment. 112 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:26,440 Shows we can't play under pressure. If we make the finals of the play-offs, 113 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,640 we'll just crumble like that because we... I think we're cursed, man. 114 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:34,240 It was a strange atmosphere. 115 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,520 It was loud at points and then it would just go quite quiet, 116 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:39,280 as if it was... people were nervy. 117 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,680 And so I do think that probably rubbed off on the crowd, 118 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,560 and that might have rubbed off on the players as well. 119 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,080 It was almost like a missed opportunity, I think. 120 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,680 And I think there was a lot of anger and frustration 121 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:57,000 at the fact that maybe we hadn't been on the top of our game. 122 00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:00,120 Obviously, it was a big game. If we'd won, we were six points clear. 123 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,360 And now it's brought it all back tight. 124 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:08,480 We were sloppy, we made stupid mistakes, we did things that were not normal for us, 125 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,720 and I think everyone looked back at it as one of them where, 126 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:13,840 damn, we could have done better than that. 127 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,520 Leeds have been knocked off the top spot, 128 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,680 and their fans now know the race for promotion 129 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:27,920 is going to be a tight, tense run-in. 130 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:33,240 You look at maybe 10 years ago, 131 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,720 if we lost, you'd just kind of shrug your shoulders. 132 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:39,360 Now you lose, every single part of your body feels the pain. 133 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,920 The kids feel the pain, I feel the pain, it spoils my evening. 134 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,920 I don't wanna go out, do anything.

I think 15 minutes to go, when I took the last shot. 372 00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:05,360 And then when I was on the floor, I got back up and I felt it. 373 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:07,640 But then I think the keeper rolled the ball out, 374 00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:11,880 and if I don't run after the defender then I'm gonna get shouted at so... 375 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:15,040 so I thought, "Let me just run after him," and then I managed to play on. 376 00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:18,160 Um... and then the following day it was hurting. 377 00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:20,440 The lateral ligament, I've just torn it a bit, 378 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:24,240 I think if it was fully gone then I would have to have an operation on it. 379 00:23:24,360 --> 00:23:26,800 I'm in this for like two or three weeks. 380 00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:35,360 Well, it's gonna be a massive loss, but then we got Pat come back in now, 381 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:39,560 and then he's looking sharp and he's hungry to score goals. 382 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:45,000 Kemar Roofe's injury is not Leeds' only concern. 383 00:23:45,120 --> 00:23:46,800 Let's begin with that breaking news. 384 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:48,760 The FA Cup talk to come but the EFL 385 00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:52,640 have announced that Leeds United have been fined £200,000 386 00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:57,200 and given a formal reprimand for what was dubbed at the time "Spygate". 387 00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,040 Punishment for the infamous Spygate incident 388 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:03,080 has eventually been meted out by the Football League. 389 00:24:04,360 --> 00:24:07,120 On the basis that we didn't break any specific rule, 390 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:10,000 I think the fine was severe. 391 00:24:10,120 --> 00:24:12,360 When you look at how other clubs are being fined, 392 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:15,240 for financial irregularities or how their fans have behaved, 393 00:24:15,360 --> 00:24:17,960 how their players have behaved, it was harsh. 394 00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:20,880 It's something that offends morality 395 00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,640 but it doesn't actually offend a particular rule. 396 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:30,480 And so the EFL looked at their rules and found one that they thought fitted - 397 00:24:31,120 --> 00:24:34,560 and that is that each club has to behave with the utmost good faith 398 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:36,800 to every other club and, indeed, to the league. 399 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:41,840 It's a huge fine for not committing any rule break. 400 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:43,400 I mean that... that... 401 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:48,240 I could totally understand why Leeds fans have felt that the world was against them. 402 00:24:48,360 --> 00:24:51,160 This season is the first time I've really properly thought, 403 00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:54,400 "Hang on. I don't think this is balanced anymore." 404 00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:57,760 The EFL arising out of the case is going to change its rules. 405 00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:01,960 It's going to bring in a specific rule which Leeds United will support 406 00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:04,440 as a result of the way the matter has been resolved. 407 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,400 That rule will say that nobody is allowed to observe the training sessions 408 00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:13,520 without the consent of the other club in the 72 hours before a game. 409 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:17,440 Everybody will know where they stand and that will be the end of it. 410 00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:21,960 Now Leeds have accepted the sanction and apologised for their actions. 411 00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:25,200 Leeds decide to accept the fine 412 00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:29,280 in return for closure on the long-running, much-publicised case. 413 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:31,400 We shouldn't be in this position 414 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:33,520 and we could easily not be in this position 415 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:36,960 because the press conference of Marcelo was unnecessary. 416 00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:38,560 He could have done that 417 00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:44,160 to explain to an EFL representative or Football Association representative. 418 00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:48,600 But I think it was pointless to do it publicly, in my opinion, 419 00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:52,200 and that's why we probably deserve a fine. 420 00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:55,560 Even if I don't think we deserve a fine, I accept it. 421 00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:02,440 Against the club's wishes, Marcelo Bielsa demands to pay the fine himself. 422 00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:08,080 The club eventually agree to his demands and everybody can move on from Spygate. 423 00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:14,080 It's mid-February. 424 00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:18,240 Recent results have seen Leeds drop to third in the table. 425 00:26:18,360 --> 00:26:19,720 But they have a game in hand. 426 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:24,040 Leeds now have a series of three games in one week. 427 00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,520 First up are Bolton Wanderers at Elland Road. 428 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:31,600 They are second from bottom in the league and fighting to avoid relegation. 429 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:35,400 It's a big one.
