Agree, the endless trophy jokes about him are so lazy and boring. The same idiots posting them will be desperate for him to help England to success in the summer.
Great player who stayed loyal to a club for many years, despite that club never being likely to win the top honours due to the billionaire domination of English football throughout his career. If that's something to be sneered at then I don't know what to say.
Leverkusen having the season of their lives this year is unfortunate for him, but I'm sure he'll win things with Bayern.
In a moment of weakness after our 4-0- win, I told my gutted Leeds supporting nephew that there may be a Zamora moment to come for them. So I've probably guaranteed it.
Certainly the timing fits in terms of his upturn in form. Given the peak levels of fitness and conditioning needed to play at the level Chair does, I don't see how it could fail to affect him. And they aren't even meant to drink water during the fasting hours.
Even eating out of your normal routine has some effect so I'm pretty sure a professional athlete would suffer some impact to their form.
I was thinking the exact same thing about the other results and how horrifying it would have been if we needed a result. Genuinely thought we'd done enough after beating Preston but we weren't even close then as it turned out.
Surely if it was a fix you might make it less obvious than 6-0? I'd understand if goal difference was a factor but it wasn't. More a case of a team that had nothing riding on the game not trying that hard after going a couple of goals down (not that unusual at this time of year) than a fix I'd say.
The start of that Palace game is probably the most tense atmosphere I've ever experienced at LR. You could feel it in the air and also see it in the players. It was win or be relegated, there was no next week to try and recover the situation.
I was in P or R block and the release of emotion when Kulscar scored was quite something. I think once we went 3-0 up and it became obvious that Palace were checking their boarding passes and buying duty free, everyone relaxed and it was party mode for the rest of the game.
I also took satisfaction that Palace had packed out the away end despite it being a nothing game for them. That was really annoying me at first but then I was glad they were all there to see their team get spanked.
They've had Joe Hart for the last few seasons who has been largely excellent but is now retiring. It would be strange for them to replace him with a keeper who appears just as ready for retirement as Hart now is.
