'Wow', 'Is this for real?', 'Pathetic' – Many Leeds fans react as plans of PL rivals reported

Dave is a huge Leeds fan and ardent disciple of Bielsa ball. 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.

Chelsea have applied for "planning permission to install seven pole-mounted CCTV cameras at their Cobham training base", according to the Daily Mail – and Leeds United fans have reacted with bewilderment and hilarity on Twitter.

The Daily Mail report says that memories of Spygate must still be on Frank Lampard's mind and that the new security system would protect their training ground at Cobham from "identified risks or security breaches".

Marcelo Bielsa caused ructions in the game when he sent staff to watch Derby train when Lampard was manager.

Despite no actual rule being broken, Leeds were fined £200,000 and Derby refused to let it go, celebrating with 'bincoulars' when they beat Leeds in the play-off final in the 18/19 season.

Lampard moved to Chelsea at the end of that season with Bielsa guiding Leeds back to the top-flight after winning the 19/20 Championship.

Bielsa and Lampard are set to clash again when Leeds travel to Stamford Bridge on December 5 and plenty of Whites fans can't believe that Lampard and Chelsea are taking this security step.

One said, "Is this for real?" while another said that no one needed to spy on Chelsea at the moment as Lampard was simply devoid of tactics.

Here are the best reactions from Leeds fans...

Money would be better spent on a tin foil hat for Lampard

Nobody needs to spy on them to ascertain their tactics because they don't really have any.

Premier League attempts at banter are particularly poor and often revert to stock phrases like "Living rent-free in your head", which they invariably misuse. Now this. This is how you use "Living rent-free in your head". Poor Fat Frank😂😂😂😂 #PrayForFatFrank
