He's a lovely bloke and I wish him the best but the non stop obbsesstions with him is a tad odd. He's gone. Never coming back. I suspect Leeds will have a better squad than Norwich did (arguably better already) so we shall see. Watching those scenes inside Elland Rd remind me of what we through away. Still, a win for us tomorrow and we're still in the hunt for the play-offs, but it has to be a win. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Keith Scott 245 Posted February 23 Leicester and Southampton to go up automatically. Leeds and Ipswich lose in play offs. And Norwich fan wanting anything other than that is a proper oddball.

Totally take the point, but it was very far from the majority, I would say. The last thing he did as City coach was celebrate a win with the away fans at Brentford Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To be fair, you binners were never going to come second, so surely best for you that Leeds go up auto as they clearly have it over you and would destroy you in the playoffs 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So he achieved miracles with a team of players who weren’t on the face of it good enough, but when he had a team in the PL who weren’t good enough and he failed, that was someone else’s fault?

Capt. Pants 4,277 Posted February 23 It's not inconceivable Leicester could totally bottle this and Leeds and Ipswich get the autos. That really blow the play-offs wide open as Southampton and Leicester would be totally broken. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can partly blame Webber of course but he was gash for us in the top flight. Broke records and was our worst ever top flight manager. He's a lovely bloke and I wish him the best but the non stop obsession with him by some is a tad odd. He's gone. Never coming back. I expect we will see what he can do next year at a real club.

Yellow Fever 3,832 Posted February 23 (edited) Strange, unexpected set of result tonight as was Tuesday's. Overall good for us. Win tomorrow and were 6th. No ifs or buts unless Hull win. In our hands now as the games in hand of others have gone! Edited February 24 by Yellow Fever Or Hull draw. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ 1,227 Posted February 23 I'm pleased for Farke, he did not deserve the ending he had here and I'm not surprised to see him doing well again of course. But I'm also pleased because it's another deficit for our friends down the road to overcome 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

canarybubbles 1,941 Posted February 24 (edited) OMG - just watched the highlights. How lucky were Leeds? Leicester goal disallowed for offside, Leicester wasted chances, deflections for two of the Leeds goals. It reminded me of our first promotion under Farke. Going for it when behind and fortune favouring the brave. If Leeds go up, it will be fascinating to see whether Farke can do it at PL level when he has a club which will be willing and able to spend money. EDIT: And perhaps spend it more wisely than we did after the second promotion. Edited February 24 by canarybubbles 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sufyellow 223 Posted February 25 My point is why do any fans think that a mid championship run club should be anywhere near competing at the bottom of the prem. They should realise the manager did brilliant to get us there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And the subsequent windows haven’t been much better. Change shouldn’t have started with Farke. Loyalty was shown to the wrong man. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
