Leeds

why are people getting excited by the prospect of leeds avoiding relegation? we were meant to be chasing promotion look where we are....its bullsh#t. dennis wise is not the saviour he was meant to be and some of this years signings have disappointed. I think if we achieve safety....that should not be classed as a success....but a huge failure...why are we in this position? if we fail to achieve safety....well f*** knows...
good luck to em and safety is looking likely....but it shouldnt be celebrated but more a relief.
after this season....big changes need to happen because as long as leeds are in the championship they are nobodies....and this great club aint nobody.

i disagree mate, the problems we have had on and off the field this season (which started last season) have been huge, leaving us in this horrible position. financially we are still a mess, and blackwell left a horrible club off the field, with players forming little groups amongst themselves, we were certainly not a team. the players were unfit and playing a shocking brand of football.
i think if you go back and look at our results of the season you will see that wise has done a good job. when he came in we were a shambles, conceding goals at an alarming rate. he and gus have made us a lot harder to beat. we were only 10 minutes away from beating colchester and 3-4 minutes away from drawing, meaning we would have gone 6 games unbeaten. the CCC is so hard because anyone can beat anyone, look at last nights results i would have put my house on birmingham beating barnsley, but barnsley got up.
i honestly believe if we avoid the drop (with many of the former players that we are still paying, coming off the wage bill) we will be a force in this league next season. wise will be able to have a proper pre season, get rid of a bit more of the dead wood and make some good signings of his own.

crap! i wanted them to beat colchester
how many rounds left now?

[marinerbhoy]

i got to disagree. if any team avoids the drop after 'certain' relegation then their is some success there. the reason for the scums improvement is their clever ability in gaining loan players. i think lufc will stay up due to this. next season may be a bit of a problem again, but a few of the loans will stay on you would think.

and how about pne. talk about useless f***ers who couldnt give a shit!

[greenpoleffc]

Now hoping they stay up so we get to go to Elland Road next season...................not looking good dudes

1-0 win over burnely!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
survival is a possibility
if we win our last home game agaisnt ipswich and get a point or more away to derby or southampton we will be ok!!

[marinerbhoy]

leeds will need 3 points against the tractor boys one would think. two very tought final games. they will be great though, leeds fighting for survival, while soton and derby fighting to promo

[timmyv]

im not a Leeds fan but do have a soft spot for them. I really do hope they manage to stay up in the championship.

[LeedsMariner#4]

3 games to go
its never boring being a leeds fan!!
got a good feeling we are going to be ok!!!!

[LeedsMariner#4]

Luton are down after losing to derby overnight
1 down 2 to go

[omni]

Dad will be shattered!

[LeedsMariner#4]

1-0 loss to southampton
thompson sent off in the 34th minute, we held on until the 84th minute when bradley wright phillips scored.

[marinerbhoy]

leeds will stay up. pains me to say.

[omni]

I'm not sure. But Blackwell will go down in history if they don't, getting two teams relegated from the same division in the same year has to be a first (shame both teams are supported in my family)

[northernspirit]

lol thats not something to tell the grandkids

[omni]

Well I hate to say it but come on Cardiff! If Hull win it really is all over, at least Jamie Mac might get a run in a League One side.

I can't help but feel incredibly sorry for Luton, they're Dad's team so I do have a soft spot for them and they just imploded this year with that insane player 'recruitment' policy.

[marinerbhoy]

dont give it to blackwell. he told the leeds board at the beggining of the season that unless they recuit better players, then relegation will be upon you. they didn't listen and sacked him. and last time i checked leeds recent form improvment is due to them recuiting nearly every player available on the loan market in the football league.

now only if your board listened to blackwell at the start of the year. get shitty at leeds inept board, not blackwell

[omni]

As a Leeds fan I'm always shitty at Leeds inept board, who just seem to creep closer and closer to an assylum every year.

If Leeds stay up they'll hopefully be able to keep some loan players and then look for off contract players, I'd like to think they'd already started that but who knows if Wise will be around next year.

[marinerbhoy]

if leeds just listened to KB at the start of the season they would be in relative comfort, who know they might have done more with a good start and confidence. they just never learn
