Couldn't believe it when I saw him on the touchline yesterday. no doubt the architect of their 6 game defeated run . The biggest chances in football bar none He's like a footballing Jonah, a reverse Midas. Derby’s chief executive, Stephen Pearce, said: “We are delighted to have Steve’s help and support at this critical time. His knowledge, experience, and academic qualifications will be invaluable to us. I am sure he will make a huge contribution.” He made a huge contribution all right .. but was foiled by his journeyman buddy Mick Mccarthy .. I'm sure words will be had

Wow ! Amazing story this. Brightest scholars in survival skills, they’ve shot up the league at 180^ degrees, with fight as strong as an ox ! Hope they post graduate thru the play offs, should they do so they’ll have achieved it in some Manor !

So WBA down and “Big” Sam suffers his first top flight relegation, has he used Karlan Grant at all ? Every time I checked he was always an unused sub, I think he started the season in the side but managed one PL goal to go with the early one that was disallowed, the deal to sell him was arranged so we got drip fed for several years, presumably at our request, but if they now sell him they will have to settle the balance due ? I can’t imagine another PL team will be taking a punt on him so back to the Championship?

Just goes to show you can achieve success with a manager who no one can understand when he opens his mouth 😜

And Burnley. Staying up. Keeping it simple. 4-4-2. No pissing about trying to play clever possession square sideways suicide ball across the back. Know your limits.

Still not sure that the barometer of success is finishing 17th or above is a good thing for the supporters. Always good to avoid relegation in any league, but in the PL that's the goal when you start the season, whereas in the lower leagues you could still end up at either end of the league and supporters always start with blind faith and expectation regardless.

Fulham going down...proverbial rubber balls And Scott Parker still avoiding any criticism from the Media generally despite a woeful last few months eventually going down with a whimper with 3 games to spare? Still dressing like a teenage girl on horseback and looking wistfully into the distance, will no doubt keep his job and live to ride another day.🤔

He’s so earnest, I’m struggling to work out if he’s deeply philosophical and highly intelligent or thick as pig shit. Fascinating. Burnley play better stuff than they’re given credit for.

Agree, Burnley have been a good watch have managed to catch most of their recent games on TV. Scott Parker seems a decent sort but bound to lose some of their better players in what will be a tough Championship to get out of especially if they fail to do it first time. Leeds have the pleasure of a visit to Turf Moor on Saturday and expecting a tough battle in what should be a decent game even for the neutral.

I guess the temptation is there when you have their forwards (incidentally, I think Wood would get more credit at another club - I wish we'd signed some big units like Wood, Barnes and older heads like Westwood rather than taking a punt on young lads from abroad that second season).

That said, I suppose we signed Puncheon and it didn't quite work out!

City 20 mins from the title, as it stands. Perfect shithousery by Utd. Rest players to play against Liverpool whilst also making it harder for Liverpool to get top 4 tonight.

In all fairness, the Championship standard was the poorest I have ever known this season. I don’t know if the lack of crowds played a part but I can’t see it being much different next season. Hull and Peterborough swapping with Rotherham and Wednesday. Norwich and Watford swapping with Sheff Utd and West Brom. Fulham should walk this division, by some distance.

I watched your match with them earlier in the season which you won 1-0, i think it would be fair to say Leeds were happy to hear the final whistle that particular day as Burnley played well and probably deserved something, but its all about scoring and Burnley didnt do that, but they did play well.

If they keep their better players maybe but can see them being cherry picked by better teams and not a lot they can do to stop that especially in a post Covid financial climate.

Yep not our greatest day and from memory was glad to get those 3 points in a rare tight affair from our usual shit or bust style. Be delighted for a repeat this weekend think Burnley are better than their position suggests and are no mugs.
