I want some of what Pat Nevin’s on - from the BBC website and his 5live commentary: 'He reminds me of Patrick Vieira' Wolves 0-0 Huddersfield Pat Nevin Former Scotland winger on BBC Radio 5 live BBC football analyst Pat Nevin is keen to praise Huddersfield midfielder Philip Billing. “First thing you notice about him is he breaks up play just about as well as anyone, with the exception of N'Golo Kante. He's a unit and with the height of him, he eats up the ground, he can score goals and that makes you stand up and notice him. He's good in the air, and he reminds you of a young Patrick Vieira or Yaya Toure, he is that kind player, he's that style of player that Jose Mourinho would look at in future, but without doubt if he improves just a little, he has got a massive future.” Exactly this! I heard the game on 5 Live but this is the first chance I have had to post since the game. 5 Live also said he is like Fellani but better! They really did bang on about Billing all game, to be honest if I was not a Town fan I would have got sick of it! You would have thought he was Messi they way they really praised him and built him up. To be fair to 5 Live, they gave the whole team tremendous credit and I think they were shocked a bit as to how well we had played, but the commentators seemed very impressed. They praised the away fans too who had made the 'long journey' down from Huddersfield!

Brighton (h) and Norwich (a) in the Championship promotion season were pretty good. I really enjoyed the game but still feel there is more to come from this team - An in form Mounie or Depoitre leading the line would have made Sunday's win far more comprehensive. The effort and desire was absolutely top drawer as it has been since Fulham but our attacking play while good, was far from fluent and dominant! Hopefully the Brighton game will be better I thought Mounie looked back to his best on sunday, he played really, really well all over the pitch. A couple of blocks stopped him getting on the scoresheet but I can't think that he lost an aerial fuel and his shots weren't wasteful, just saved/defended. I like Mounie and his performances have certainly improved but I expect his confidence will too when the goals start to come, then we will see him at his very best.

He’s been far better since Wagner arranged for him to turn up for training in a fire engine, singing his own name through the loud speaker. Great man Management.

Maybe he just needs to move closer to the ground: 2d ago 17:39 79 mins: Another Huddersfield chance as the ball spills to Mooy, and his shot rebounds to Mounie, whose shooting boots were left somewhere in the Calderdale Valley, presumably.

Leeds just sold 4550 tickets for Bolton in just 14mins!! Its a tough choice.. get your kicks from supporting- a) the best supported club in yorkshire.. or b) the best club in yorkshire, with the best team, best manager, best fans, best chairman, best ethos, best league position, best bank balance... crikey, what tough decision!

THE Yorkshire Club indeed - Whilst I hated the moniker when we rebranded as such (I would have preferred A Yorkshire club) I didn't envisage at the time that in a few short years we would be Yorkshire's undisputed No.1 club.
