A career in print magazines that included editing PC Zone, launching PokerPlayer and redesigning The Big Issue has finally led Dave to writing about the love of his life, Leeds United. It’s been a tough 2020 but the single scariest moment was the first quarter of the game against Man City. Rodrigo will be the saviour this season.

Leeds United fans have found another reason to get very excited about Monday Night Football, as Leicester travel to Elland Road. 

In a move dubbed as "huge news" by Sky Sports, it's been announced that former Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino will join Jamie Carragher for the flagship show.

He will be discussing Leeds and Bielsa and there are plenty of Whites fans who are very excited at the prospect.

Poch is a big fan of Bielsa and Leeds.

In a recent interview, Poch singled out Leeds, Tottenham and Liverpool for praise, claiming that Bielsa's side played "dizzying" football.

He said, "I like to watch Leeds with Bielsa because it is a dizzying football; Tottenham, because there is a lot of love; and Liverpool, because they have talent."

Bielsa was Poch's mentor in his early days after the now Leeds manager discovered at Newell’s Old Boys.

And there are some Leeds fans who are hoping that Poch might well be the next manager at Elland Road if Bielsa leaves. One was even optimistic enough to hope Poch might join and work under Bielsa at Leeds.

That's a topic for the future, though.

In the here and now we're going to relish hearing Poch wax lyrical about Leeds on Monday night – hopefully after another Whites victory.

Here are the best reactions from excited Leeds fans...
