Righto, Aaron Bower\u2019s report is here\u2026<\/p>\n
\u2026which means that\u2019s it from me. Thanks all for your company and comments \u2013 sorry I couldn\u2019t use them all \u2013 and peace out.<\/p>\n
Share<\/a>Share<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cI take my hat off to Franklyn Hyde,\u201d returns Charles Antaki. \u201cAnything John Renbourn did was ipso facto well beyond my clumsy fingers. I see that I\u2019m going to have to spend another night trawling the Internet ether looking for the elusive McShee & co warble. Oh well \u2013 we can always have another listen to this<\/a> in the meanwhile.\u201d<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n What does a cyclist know about football?<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n We have to show some measure when criticising Newcastle because, as we said at the top, they lost Bruno Guimaraes, Sandro Tonali and Anthony Gordon in the summer. Good though Miley is, we can\u2019t expect him to carry them, and the early loss of Gonzalez made a big difference to how the game went \u2013 though Leeds were already on top, they didn\u2019t score until the 32nd minute. I\u2019m sure Jaissle will persevere with Fernandez-Pardo against Hull at the weekend, but assuming Elanga is unfit, it\u2019s probably time for him to trust Toure.<\/p>\n Share<\/a>The Premier League table<\/p>\n Well fit, if you\u2019re a Leeds fan.<\/p>\n Photograph: The GuardianShare<\/a>FULL TIME: Leeds United 4-1 Newcastle United<\/p>\n A brilliant performance from Leeds, who were at Newcastle from the start, wrestle-stomping them into submission. They go third in the table; Newcastle are 12th.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 90+4 min James has been lively since coming on and he veers across the pitch, past a man or two, before swinging into a rising shot which clears the bar by a foot or so.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 90+3 min \u201cI think everyone is getting confused here,\u201d says Franklyn Hyde. Renbourn recorded a lovely version of To Be a Pilgrim solo. I know because I mastered it on guitar and have the arthritis to prove it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 90+2 min Wilson bends the free-kick into the box from down the left and Muharemovic is up \u2026 but heads wide.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 90+1 min Livramento bundles Aaronson over and is booked.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 90 min We\u2019ll have four additional minutes.<\/p>\n Share<\/a>GOAL! Leeds United 4-1 Newcastle United (Toure 89)<\/p>\n A miskick from Ampadu allows Steur to find Livramento down the right, and though Toure slips controlling his low cross, he recovers to prod home a finish off Justin.<\/p>\n Bazoumana Toure of Newcastle United celebrates scoring his team\u2019s first goal. Photograph: Stu Forster\/Getty ImagesShare<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a016.55 EDT<\/p>\n 89 min James picks up possession in his own half, sticks the ball in behind Hall, and stomps on the gas. In the middle, Nmecha hurtles forwards, the cross is good, he launches on the stretch \u2026 but can\u2019t quite reach it.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 88 min Another change for Leeds, Longstaff on for Stach.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 86 min \u201cTerrific!\u201d responds Charles Antaki. \u201cMany thanks, Paul Milton. Much appreciated. But \u2013 hmm. Now I\u2019m troubled. I still think that there\u2019s a version by Jacqui McShee, much less shouty than the Maddy Prior version, with the likes of Ashey Hutchins, John Renbourn et al noodling away behind her in a mock-medieval setup, and all in glorious monochrome. Maybe for a 60s kids\u2019 programme? Anyway, I see that Leeds are winning comfortably, so plenty of time to do a bit more research as the game peters out. Also I think they were wearing smocks and halberds and what have you, and perhaps even a wimple in McShee\u2019s case.\u201d<\/p>\n This sounds like a folksy version of one of my favourite pieces of joy:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 84 min Under Howe, Newcastle were arguably the most physical side in the league. Now, though, they\u2019re a little lightweight, and also lacking a bit of quality. Jaissle will have learnt plenty tonight, and I wonder if we soon see Bamba and Toure from the start.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 83 min The excellent Bogle departs after a monstrous shift, Daniel James replacing him.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 82 min Botman has an issue with his left leg, so is made to stand at the side to get it looked at, as per the new law.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 82 min On which point, Wikipedia says:<\/p>\n double quotation markNorman Mailer was passionate about thumb wrestling. Author and humorist Paul Davidson claims that his grandfather Bernard Davidson invented the thumb war in the 1940s.American copywriter Julian Koenig claimed to have invented thumb wrestling in 1936 as a boy at Camp Greylock.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 80 min Newcastle send on Bamba for Miley, who goes and sits next to his kid brother on the bench. Some kind of thumb war is in order.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 79 min Muharemovic advances, so Wissa trips him and does well to avoid a card.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 78 min Leeds send on Nmecha for Calvert-Lewin; Bahoya remains at the side, still awaiting his first football in a Leeds shirt.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 76 min Willocks ofts a ball in behind and Trafford scurries out then, not for the first time tonight, makes a mess when asked to use his feet, the ball sliding off his right \u2026 but he\u2019s saved by a generously flourished offside flag.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 75 min Thinking beyond tonight, Newcastle will need Fernandez-Pardo to settle and start scoring, because they don\u2019t have anyone else they can rely on to find the net regularly. He\u2019ll be the wiser for tonight, and will have to apply his learnings immediately.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 73 min Changes for Leeds, Gudmudsson, Tanaka and Okafor replaced by Bard, Aaronson and Wilson.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 72 min Miley\u2019s long clip to the back stick is headed back by Livramento, who hooks back, then Wissa hooks goalwards, then Willock, from an acute angle, hooks on to the roof of the net.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a016.31 EDT<\/p>\n 70 min And they win a free-kick down the left, Hall clipping in \u2026 and Elvedi heading out for a throw. Newcastle have offered so little attacking threat.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 70 min Newcastle are enjoying a bit of possession now, which at least means they can prevent things becoming immediately worse.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 68 min \u201cCharles might be slightly mistaken,\u201d offers Paul Milton. \u201cThere is a lively folk rock version of To Be a Pilgrim but by Maddy Prior rather than Jacqui McShee. And it is readily available on YouTube.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 66 min \u201cNever seen my brother walk around with such arrogant swagger before 6am,\u201d says Chris Paraskevas. \u201cWonder what\u2019s in the bin for brunch? That half-eaten kebab is looking like a potential highlight of the day at this point.\u201d<\/p>\n What kind of monster tosses half a kebab? As ye sow\u2026<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 64 min Willock into the box, and he pokes square for Barnes, who spins away from Muharemovic \u2026 who kicks the back of his heel. Barnes thinks that\u2019s a penalty and so do I, but the officials adjudge to the contrary. I guess they\u2019re saying there wasn\u2019t enough contact, but I\u2019m pretty sure there was sufficient.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a016.25 EDT<\/p>\n 63 min Leeds win a corner down the left, but Stach\u2019s poor delivery is kicked away at the near post.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 60 min Where will this end? Newcastle are deep in the brown, and with half an hour and probably a bit more to go, this could get worse before the blessed relief of the full-time whistle.<\/p>\n Share<\/a>WHAT A GOAL! Leeds United 4-0 Newcastle United (Okafor 59)<\/p>\n Ampadu hurls long and the clearing header lands on Okafor\u2019s left foot, left side, just outside the box. Hw swings, makes perfect connection with a half-volley, and sends the ball zipping into the far corner, in off the post. Leeds are absolutely flying!<\/p>\n Leeds United’s Noah Okafor scores their fourth goal. Photograph: Lee Smith\/Action Images\/ReutersShare<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a016.22 EDT<\/p>\n 59 min Leeds are going for more goals and have a throw deep inside the Newcastle half, left-hand side and Ampadu preparing to fling in\u2026<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a016.18 EDT<\/p>\n 57 min Changes for Newcastle, Murphy, Fernandez-Pardo and Dedic departing, with Willock, Livramento and Toure replacing them.<\/p>\n
