Farke's star the brightest, his stock at its highest

Rarely do the the stars align perfectly at Leeds United.

On Monday night they did just that to reveal a Farke phenomenon which could be seen inside Elland Road and heard in the skies above.

Old school colours of yellow scarves, bucket hats, smiley badges and shirts adorned the grand old stadium.

And the noise was something else. Old school too with bellowing choruses of club anthems, welcomes to jungles and predictions of riots.

"No Piroe, no party" was one of the many chants during a full-on celebration in front of a raucous packed house which was always going to pump it up, with or without a goal from their top scorer.

What a display from the stars on show too. In-keeping with so much of the season.

A galaxy away from their opponents, play-off hopefuls Bristol City, United put in a sparkling performance which illuminated every one of the 30 points which form the gap between the sides in the Championship.

Oh what a party, oh what a show, Leeds United had gone to town.

The players performed magnificently as if a constellation, like they were champions already, to forever sear a special moment into the memories of those fortunate to be in its presence.

As for Farke, his stock is at its highest with the supporters and his own star now burns its brightest in their firmament.
