    Reading the posts on here are a mirror of the ones on the Southampton forum before they played us at home in September - all doom, gloom and full of trepidation. Saints were on a poor run, fans were calling for the managers blood and expecting to be turned over any way you could cut it. The result? A 3-1 home win. We have improved and settled as the season has progressed but the damned International Break always carries a risk of putting a spanner in the works. 

    Should be a good contest

    Looks to me as if Leeds will suffer the same fate as Sheff Utd next season. One good season and then not able to follow it up. 

    You can hope for that Bud. I suppose you can only see the scene from your own horizons?  What did Norwich gather in their last Premier League visits? 34 points and then a laughable 19!! 🤣 You'll need to do better than that!  Have no worries, Leeds will be likely to be doing much better than your Team next season. Unlike your last two efforts in the Premier League we stayed up and made a good fist of our  first season after promotion and are in much better stead than the Blunts ever have been. 

    Let's see what happens eh?

    There has been a complete transformation at Leeds since 2017 both on and off the pitch but that a lot of that has gone unnoticed with most of the focus being on the appointment of Bielsa, the club is now structurally and financially sound and no longer needs to sell players to make ends meet. The owners are also fully aware that Bielsa will be gone soon so have a plan in place for the future but thanks for your concern. 😉

    Who knows what will happen in the future. it all has to be conjecture but one thing is for sure is that life goes on. As has been said, there are some very solid foundations being laid and a youth team structure which is also coming on nicely. We have had a 2 or 3 consecutive very enjoyable seasons for us Leeds United fans and it seems a lot of neutrals have enjoyed watching our games. Next season? A few new faces and more of the same would do me fine. 

    Congratulations to you Canaries on gaining promotion. The trick now is going to be to get set and ready for next season. Looks to me like you need to invest wisely and reasonably well otherwise there is a risk that you will sink back again.

    Don't get me wrong, you seem like a nice guy, but don't you think you should be looking forward to your first season in the premier league in an age, rather than posting stuff like this on forums of clubs not even in the same league as you? 

    I think you are absolutely right. I don't know what I was thinking! 

    Best Wishes and Adios! 👋

    Try to ignore the more rabid posters on here Phoenix. Im always happy to discuss football as a whole with fans from other clubs. Im an ex-Leeds season ticket holder too so happy to chew the cud

    Happy always to talk football, rabid or otherwise. All it is is a bit of fun, a bit of friendly needling etc.

    This looks like a site where people might have a go and object to views but it is all about opinions. It takes all sorts but I really don't get some of these forum sites that allow all the effing and jeffing with very little in the way of coherent thought. Haven't had that yet! 😆

    You have to enjoy it Phoenix, I know some fans will always want to fret, moan and whinge etc, that is their right but it changes nothing. All the very best for this season..............

    I always find it amusing that a couple of games into the new season some fans will be calling for the managers head and will be in the depths of despair. Not so long ago I remember travelling on a long journey somewhere and had Five Live's 606 (before that thicko Robbie Savage was let loose on the airwaves) and a whole load of Liverpool fans were calling for Jurgen Klopp's head after some dodgy results. 

    I hope you you guys have a good season too.

    Surely this post is only a bit of friendly banter

    Indeed. If this is Leeds falling apart again then long may it continue. If we are getting tonked left, right and centre as well as looking a shambles by end November I'll start worrying. In the meantime I intend to enjoy the ride. It's been more than a long while

    That's every season in the Championship, not just last. Which of course demonstrates why it took you so long to get out of it... 

    No argument about how competitiveness of the Championship. As for us we were a cut above the last two seasons but before that we were ordinary for years and didnt pull up any trees nor looked likely to. Be interesting to see how the relegated teams fare. I think all three will find it a tough fight

    Still, we turned the corner and I am hopeful that we can continue on the current path.

    Who are the decent teams in your opinion PU? I think I speak for most of us when I say it looks easier to do well in the coming season than the one when we were champions.

    If we were still in the Championship I'd be thinking about the competition that would get in the way of at least making the play-offs. Last season it was dog eat dog; anyone could beat anyone but somehow West Brom and ourselves broke away a bit.  Brentford and Fulham made it a close run thing. Phew! 

    For you this season there is IMHO - Brentford, Derby, Bournemouth, Watford, Forest, Cardiff and Milwall. These will provide stiff opposition and you may not enjoy the same kind of ride that you had the season you went up when you did look pretty darned good. Then there is the Wendies, Blackburn, Stoke, Bristol etc. With whom you just don't know what you are going to get. It will be another cracking season in the Championship

    We all say this before the season starts, but the grim reality is that it is almost impossible to "kick on" in the second season. The analysts will have worked you out, the players won't be quite so motivated and the teams who have been in the Prem for longer than you are nearly all stronger and focused on grinding out results.

    It really is a sad state of affairs. The powers that be have allowed the Premiership to become a stale product and very unbalanced. Us "old timers" must sound like a scratched record, but it really was more interesting when the gap in quality between all the clubs was less.

    I accept that I am now a paid up member of the Old Codgers Club and agree that for a few seasons now the Championship is a much more competitive league than the Premiership. It's the same as the FA Cup falling foul of the filthy lucre.  Still happy to to be where we are a hoping we can make it stick. 

    I think I might enjoy the Championship this season instead of going through it like a basket case. Your team faces a very tough challenge as there are a lot of decent teams all around you. I'll be watching with interest

    Perhaps you should be more concerned in starting the PL campaign without a manager under contract. It would ironic, and slightly amusing if Bielsa walked away at such a momentous time for LUFC. 

    A plague on your houses is it mate? 🤨

    If you finished above two of the other three United’s would you happy Pheonix? 

    I'd be happy duking it out with West Ham, Necastle and Sheffield and finishing above them but that is easy to say and hard to achieve in this season. I do think also that besting Manure is a pipe dream to be realistic in this season. 

    Sheffield did very well last season and a run like theirs would be a dream

    The new season is almost upon us. Hard to know what to make of these strange circumstances but as ever I am looking forward to the new season getting underway. LUFC have opened up the coffers and have brought in some new faces. Don't matter who you are these steps are always a gamble so it will be a case of wait and see. I think we will be OK and have a steady season. I would be happy with  a mid-table finish and then hopefully kick on next season. 

    I might well visit here on occasion hopefully to chew the fat and have some good natured banter. Anyho, good luck for the new season. it is going to be a heck of a scrap in the Championship and I reckon there will be around a dozen teams in the mix. 🤯

    I remember you losing that although you lot claim yourselves champions. How many years ban did you get after those riots?

    This made me smile! The 70s was an appalling period for fan behaviour and every other club had its hooligan element.

    The records will show that Leeds never won the European Cup. But what are we saying? That Leeds don't deserve a level playing field because of the hooliganism that occurred? Are we also saying that England should similarly suffer for all the mayhem its supporters perpetrated around the World?

    In the end it is all the controversy that makes football the emotional subject that it is. I wouldn't swap it

    you are so giddy to be promoted but its taken you so long to achieve it. You'll get bummed by refs and stay up from refs and VAR. You'll be like man United.

    Please! Like Manure? That is the ultimate insult! 

    Happy to be up and if you look back we have been done over time and again by dodgy refs. To this day I believe we lost a European Cup final (to Bayern Munich) and First Division Championship in the Revie era. I don't expect things to be any different

    Well, when we were actually promoted I was in the stadium. In the days and weeks afterwards I was on here.

    My information is that almost all Leeds United  fans were looking for a hole to open up and swallow them. Failing that, they all went and hid under the covers until the new season kicked off. No chance of going anywhere and being social.

    Anyway belated congratulations on winning the Championship last summer. Hope it all turns out well for you guys............🤭
