Thirsty Lizard 3,163 Posted January 28, 2020 Fair does to Leeds for turning it round v Millwall (sounds like a certain title winning team in the The Championship last season). I'm totally ambivalent about the prospect of Leeds being promoted. If they fail to get promoted this time half of me will be laughing my head off at their ridiculous, gobby,Β Β over the top and massively over-entitled fans. The other half will be a bit sorry, because like us last season they are basically trying to do things the right way. They haven't spent loads of money they don't have and are using a number of players that they have brought through from their academy.Β Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To be fair to them, Millwall got a penalty about 5 seconds after their winger had run the ball clearly out of play - It was a full yard off the pitch and he ran with it out of play for a good 3 or 4 yards before bringing it back onto the pitch - VAR would have had a field day.

Rob Whites 12 Posted January 29, 2020 To be fair Leeds won and now we are only one place behind you (well we are top of the championship and you are firmly rooted to the bottom of the prem and will more than likely get relegated).Β Yes i'm back when the going is good (and will disappear when things don't go well) so happy new year an all that!!Β I think it's odds on that we won't play you next season but if we don't then can we have Pukki? You can take Bamford in a swap deal. We might take Pukki anyway :-).Β Well here is to the rest of the season, and no i'm not confident in Leeds going up but it's a much weaker league this year so who knows.Β Β Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think I flatter Pukki at all, Bournemouth, Palace, West Ham, Everton etc - All of those teams would be happy to have him - like I said considerably bigger and better teams than Leeds will want him. Better calibre than 11 goals and 3 assists in 23 appearances in the PL? Yeah, OK, good luck. Edited January 29, 2020 by kick it off Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He was like Bambi at Carrow Rd. Still misses plenty of chances though and you're right that Leeds need to have better than him. If you do manage go up there's no way he'll be good enough for the Premier League. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sonyc 5,517 Posted January 29, 2020 I think Leeds will go up (at last) and whilst I am anything but a fan (have seen so much over the past three decades of the behaviour of away fans....hence the dislike) I should mention the playing style of the team which is attractive to watch. Had we not have played so well last year then Leeds would/should have gone up in the automatics. Even against Sheff U, Leeds were the better team. So I reckon a deserved promotion under Bielsa. I would be amazed beyond belief for Leeds to fail again like last year. As for us, i wouldn't bet on us not going down. We have continued to play good stuff but have our failings. Glad Rob we remain your second team π 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

East Rider 549 Posted January 29, 2020 Leeds will in all probability go up and so they should. They play attractive progressive football and have a top manager.Β However, the unfortunate aspect of that club is that they have a number of morons following them and it must be an embarrassment to the decent fans of what is a traditional big club. Hence the delight and complete lack of sympathy each year when they annually mess up another promotion push. They are a club you could actually like, a one City club such as ourselves with a good sized support despite the lack of recent success. But it wouldn't really bother me if they were relegated to L1, never to return. Ho hum.Β Β Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
