Norwich City fan Jake Humphrey tweeted Leeds United supporter Chris Moyles a picture of the Championship table after the Whites lost 1-0 to Sheffield United.
The BT Sport presenter circled the top-three teams and simply tweeted via his personal Twitter account at Moyles: “I see we have new neighbours.”
This prompted the Radio X host to issue a cheeky response to claimed that Sheffield United were merely “renting” second spot after knocking Leeds into third by defeating them.

OPINION
Moyles’ reacted like any Leeds United supporter should as just because Sheffield United won the battle against Leeds on Saturday, it doesn’t mean they have won the war. While Norwich still sit pretty at the top and look formidable, that could still all change as there is plenty of Championship action left. Who knows Norwich could end up in third much to Humphrey’s despair with Leeds and Sheffield United taking the automatic promotion spots instead of them. However that said, even if Leeds end up in the play-offs, they still could win promotion. Everyone clearly wants to avoid the play-offs if possible as they’re a glorified lottery but there does seem an odd feeling among some supporters, that if Leeds end up in the play-offs success won’t follow. Yet Marcelo Bielsa’s squad is filled with potential match-winners and a lot of players at Elland Road have proven this season that they can flourish under pressure.
