Fourth tier beating top tier 3-0 (or equivalent) may be unique. I can't recall an example. Furthermore, it's not like Leeds are in the ramshackle state of Sheff United, against whom this result would be far less of a shock. It's probably (as noted above) connected to Bielsa's "win 5-0 or bust" tactics.

Cardiff Blues have been playing there until recently in addition to the Dragons and County while the Arms Park is out of action due to the Millennium being used as a hospital.
Although it usually accommodates three teams with it being the home ground of Newport RFC too.

Originally posted by diggedy derek View PostABS, oh, were there that many people watching outside the stadium then? I stand corrected, then. I was just trying to express my general malaise of turning on the radio and finding yet another game with an ersatz atmos.

It's still worth answering - in 1899 Stockport County of the Lancashire League beat top flight Glossop 3-0 in a replay, just four days after coming away from North Road with a creditable 2-2 draw.
That aside Spurs beat WBA 4-0 in the cup semi final on their way to trophy win 1901.

I know Barney Ronay is not everyone's favourite here, though I think he's great. For those who enjoy him his report on Marine Tottenham today is wonderful. Also I love the picture at the beginning of the report https://www.theguardian.com/football...ttenham-fa-cup
The word from Spurs’ inner sanctum was that Mourinho would be “preparing normally with massive respect” – which, to be fair, doesn’t sound that normal. Snipe, snark, underhand tactics – now that really would be the ultimate respect. So we looked forward to Mourinho’s provocative shushing gestures over the back garden fences. Would he poke a schoolteacher in the eye? Jostle an NHS nurse? Gesture about his trophy haul to a dozing pensioner?

Obviously, under normal circumstances, all presenters/guests would go into make-up etc before the show, but I don't know what the deal is in the present climate.
