Old Man Andrews Remember when you all told me that WBA were far superior to Leeds? They are currently losing 1-0 to Huddersfield and if it stays like that Leeds are up.

I am a football aficionado, you need to understand that. I know exactly what I am talking about.


I was gonna say the same.....people saying cancel league and let WBA and Leeds go up because they are clearly the best 2 sides. I'm loving West Brom imploding, good luck to Brentford.

I can't be bothered with WBA going up and struggling to a 20th place finish, seen it all before. Hope Brentford pip them.

The ref for the Huddersfield v WBA game is an over officious little Hitler.

To be fair I actually agreed with you aswell and I always have about Leeds. Looks like great minds think alike. We are both the most knowledge people about football on this site.

Brentford have been incredible this season. Very well run club. I use to work with somebody who now works there as head of their IT department doing stuff for their new stadium. Nice guy. A vegan :evil: but nice guy and very good project guy.

He said the whole vibe around there has been massive and positive and their manager really goes out of his way to make himself known to everybody around the club and make them feel apart of the whole thing

We are due a West brom and a Norwich annual swap.

It's the same as Barnsley and Rotherham who every year just swap leagues.

Pretty sure no one said anyone was far superior to Leeds, well other than morally and intellectually of course.

Intellectually they probably have one of the best coaches in Europe.

If you are talking about fans.....

I doubt anyone doubts Leeds quality, it's just funny when they fail.

Hence why I want West Brom to get a winner, I would also like Huddersfield to get relegated so 2 birds with 1 stone.

Upside, they won't be charging us £40 to go to Elland Road.

When I came on here a couple of seasons ago and spoke about Brentford and their potential to be promoted, some bloke (County Royal or something to that effect) said that he'd never seen such a ridiculous post in his life........obviously a conniseur of the game :lol:

What a shame they didn’t get to witness it :lol:

Still...glad to see the back of that self-entitled bunch & also glad they will no longer be the “biggest” club in their division! Also glad we won’t be ripped off £39 for an away ticket next season

As much as we like to hate them, if the neutral is honest about it, we’d all prefer to watch them than a Bournemouth or a Watford on MOTD

I believe it’s the first time anyone has managed it since last season.
Fairly ordinary achievement really, fancy not even getting close to 100 points !
Only 16 attempts as well, we’ve won the league twice since they were last a Premiership side.....

A lot has happened since Leeds last went up.

Blackpool went up. And down.

Yeovil went up as far as Leeds. And they went all the way back down.

Pompey, Sunderland And Coventry went... Well down.

Leeds fans gathering outside bellend Road to celebrate like Liverpool fans. Good on them, although it is breaking the guidelines they are entitled to do so.
