Yep, it’s nice to read something positive. Sometimes you need to take a step back from the internet doom and gloom, the bickering about transfer targets, scape-goating of young players and moaning about injuries.

We’re Leeds United, and we’re top of the league.

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola reckons a return for Leeds United would benefit the Premier League.

The West Yorkshire club lead the Championship by four points with more than half of the season gone after a 1-0 victory over Derby that was surrounded by a row over a Leeds official caught spying on Derby's training.

Given they finished 13th last season, it has been a remarkable turnaround engineered by the arrival of eccentric coach Marcelo Bielsa in the summer.

Bielsa, who Benjamin Mendy credits for 'waking him up' literally and metaphorically during their time together at Marseille, has been regularly championed by Guardiola throughout his management career as the best coach in the world.

Without going into too much detail about the changes this season at Elland Road, the City coach spoke about why he is backing Bielsa's Leeds for the Premier League.

"I should have been training with him to know exactly what he's like as a manager. I don't want to make a mistake with my opinion," he said.

"I love him as a human being, he trained me when I was young in a incredible way, I feel his success like my success. I'm not involved in any way but I like the people I like doing well.

"I think he's the best because always I try to listen to what the players say about their manager because it's the real truth. The other depends on the results, and for the guys in charge of the big clubs it's easier than the other ones.

"We win because we are in the big clubs with the big players. But everyone who works with him is a better player and the teams are better. That's why he is a special manager and special person. I'm a supporter of Leeds and hopefully next season they can be in the Premier League, it would be good for the Premier League.

"I admire him for being the Argentina manger and being at big clubs and having the humility to go in the Championship going to a historic team like Leeds [to try to] put them on top and back to the Premier League. I wish him all the best."

We're also on the cover of the new WSC but it's so new that they haven't updated their website yet.
