The entitlement of the ‘big clubs’ and the attention they garner never ceases to amaze me.
When Manchester United found themselves floundering in the first half last night against #LUFC, shell-shocked by Noah Okafor’s double; they resorted to throwing themselves to the floor and begging the referee for handouts.
Cunha got a yellow for diving.
Fernandes’ got a yellow for non-stop begging and dissent..
Martinez got a red card for pulling Calvert-Lewin’s hair.
ManchesterUnited have every off-field benefit stacked in their favour against Leeds.
Revenue that is multiples of the Whites, ground capacity, training facilities, wage bill - it all dwarfs Leeds.
But they have to resort to cheating when things don’t go their way.
Under 10s know that diving is cheating, that you have to respect the referee and they also know that pulling someone’s hair is a red card.
So for their club-captain and manager to come out after the game and bemoan the referee - and for that to dominate the media narrative - rather than the brilliance of Leeds United and their tactics is a stunning display of entitlement and faux-injustice.
A tug on the hair is a red card.
Now can we talk about Leeds United’s history-making performance?
