Leeds have been flying high in the Championship this season under the guidance of Marcelo Bielsa and the signs at Elland Road have been promising.
Sat second in the standings and boasting a five-point buffer over Sheffield United, the Peacocks have given themselves a solid platform to build upon over the course of the busy festive season and the coming months.
After picking up three points in a hard-fought encounter against QPR at the weekend, a tweet emerged detailing a bizarre chat that someone has been trying to establish at Elland Road – chanting Jamie Shackleton’s name to the tune of ‘Baby Shark’.
It remains to be seen whether the amusing chant will catch on in the stands and amongst Leeds supporters but the assessment on Twitter was varied, with some loving it and others believing it could even drive Shackleton out of the club!
We have gathered some of the responses below.
That’s not acceptable

Please no, if that catches on we’ll be a laughing stock to the rest of the league.

A lad in front of me sang it to my 5 year old son “yeah cheers mate it’s all I’ve heard for the last 24 hours”
