Lazy journalism, making assumptions and ignoring the context. The booing was for the fact that it came as Leeds were on top in the match and that rather than simply allowing the affected players to break their fast, Pep was allowed to use the time to reorganise his team to counter Leeds tactics...

Leeds fans criticised after booing Ramadan fast break during Man City game β€” The Independent Play was temporarily halted in the 11th minute at Elland Road

Guardiola called it β€˜disrespectful’ to boo Muslim players breaking fast, which I agree, yes it is. But it’s also disrespectful to use the opportunity to give a 2 minute tactical talk to the rest of the players, which is what Guardiola did and what a lot of people were actually booing. #lufc

We all know, however, that it really began with the 1968/69 season...

It's a good stat, but does further the fallacy that top flight football only began with the Premier League...

Would you look at that.

Does that mean what I think it means?

Our recruitment has actually been good?

We have been saying, well done to all the Leeds recruitment team, all of them. Even that one guy!

I'm quite capable of believing the bleeding obvious without needing any help from the club having lived/suffered through the years between Ridsdale and Bielsa... 😘

Said this before, I'll be disappointed if we don't sign anyone that adds quality to our squad today, but much rather that than another JKA punt or (for us oldies) a Ridsdale style overstretch that cripples us for the next 15 years...

What a lovely bloke. Very thoughtful and grounded. Whatever happens this season (and I hope it's survival at least) both he and the club deserve enormous credit...

The Athletic found that this season’s 20 top-tier clubs brought in 23 first-team strikers last summer.

Twenty of those joined for fees, totalling an estimated Β£812million ($1.1bn) β€” or Β£41m per player signed.

Were they worth it?
