Yeah wow, I put the mozza on big time.

They've righted the ship somewhat though.

This page goes back to 2014!

7 goals over a couple of championship powerhouses, playing out from the back, another promising start to the season.

That lid had better be firmly on. It has been an enjoyable first 6 weeks though

Quoting myself here, except it’s only two weeks this time :/

How big is the squad? Players under Bielsa tend to run out of energy after a while and I don't think he's ever managed a team in a league with that many matches in a season.

And how good are his interviews?

8 changes for the cup game this morning, including a bunch of debuts, and some quality in there.

Wait and see I guess.

Aaah crap

 

[HolyRioli]

As disappointing as it is, and that we clearly ran out of gas late in the season, it's still comfortably our best show of it in years.

Hopefully Bielsa stays on, can shape the squad he wants in the transfer market (we've got a lot of deadwood to trim) and we can give it another go next season

Reported in paper today that same Qatari group that owns PSG is in talks to gain controlling interest in Leeds. Group says it has been looking to get into English football and identified Leeds. Fingers crossed

VALE Jackie Charlton

Over 12 months since the last post in here!?

7 points required - I can't take playoffs.

Think he's good enough to lead the line in a prem side?

I actually don’t know who he is if you can educate me would be good - I started following Leeds just before they were relegated and haven’t kept track of who’s who since

 

[Fossie 32]

Liam Cooper?

It's Patrick Bamford - much derided by our supporters for his profligacy in front of goal. Can produce occasional moments of brilliance also.

Was involved in a rather embarrassing simulation incident towards the end of last season which got an opposition player red carded.

[Holden Hillbilly]

Supporters of other PL clubs looking forward to seeing Leeds again.

So close now friends..

Hopefully this is the weekend all our pain and suffering ends.

I remember going to the Charles Dickens Tavern and bawling my eyes out when we lost the league one playoff final to Doncaster Rovers..

Remember pining my hopes on battlers like Habib Habibou, fun guy as he was.

Not gonna lie, gonna bawl my eyes out when the magic moment happens DirtyLeeds .

WE'VE BEEN THROUGH IT ALL TOGETHER
AND WE'VE HAD OUR UPS AND DOWNS (UPS AND DOWNS !!!)

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

WE'RE BACK !!!!

 

[DirtyLeeds]

WE'RE BACK !!!!

Oh Yeah, and of all the teams to do the big favour, another Yorkshire team, love the symmetry. For me it's every bit as good as Philly winning the Super Bowl a couple of years ago. 16 years, 15 managers, 5 owners, three divisions and finally we get a go at those complete w***ers Man U, City, Chelsea and the worst of the lot Arsenal.....

As a Patriots fan, I am still bitter about that Super bowl

For me, this only ranks a (very close) second to the Boston Red Sox breaking the Curse of the Bambino and winning the World Series in 2004.

One of My very best friends (Alex) died tragically at the age of 21 a couple of weeks before and that amazing Red Sox Triumph (first in 86 years) helped me start the healing process (Still miss my friend a lot and think about him often, he was such a bright spark.

Get frustrated when family members, friends and people in general tell me that Sports doesn't matter/important.

My teams (esp all my Boston teams) have got me through some grim times over the past 20 years, and now, in the bleakest year in our lifetime, and the Centenary of Leeds United (est 1919), and losing two of the greatest club legends in Jack Charlton and Norman Hunter, our promotion has taken on a really profound and significant impact for me personally.

Congratulations Leeds. Back where you belong.
