It took Bielsa to get them up last time and that at the second attempt, I'm sure if it happens they'll be fully expecting an immediate return but might (hopefully) be sadly mistaken! Remember they'd been out of the prem for about sixteen years when Bielsa took over, this time they'd have the parachute payments, but of course that dosnt necessarily mean owt.

Could be Kane’s last ever game for Spurs. I can feel a hat trick coming on! But can Spurs's 'defence' stop Leeds scoring six?

In addition to all of this, I’ve heard today that behind the scenes, the club is in absolute turmoil. All good stuff.

Some of those parachute payments will be “lost” paying for the players that don’t play (apologies, can’t remember any names cos they’re all forgettable).

The original poll is a moot point now.
Come on Everton, Leicester and Spuds!

I’m already exited about Sunday. Don’t care how nice it is outside - I’m in front of the TV watching the drama unfold. Waiting to see the footage of a devastated Luke Ayling at the final whistle.

We’re in Tenerife and we’ve found a bar that should be showing the game. Few halves of 8.5% Tripel and watching the scum being relegated should be the perfect Sunday afternoon

But I don't think I could take it if they manage to fluke it while I'm watching with dad and sis, both chestwankers. Mam's weird, supports L***s AND Town, probably because she's stuck between Town (her brothers, sisters, her dad and me) and L***s (sis, dad and dad's family). I can just see it: L***s down til the last kick of the game, score a goal that keeps them up and dad and sis turn with smug grins

You get the impression that they agreed to the purchase clause fully intending to welch on it if he didn't turn out to be very good.

If they have to pay for his contract, does that mean they also get to sell him?

It must be a Women thing? And before any one starts. I'm not dissing Women. How can I? My Mum's one!

I would like to see Leeds come back down but I am not gloating yet. They still have a chance to stay up and Tottenham have been all over the place lately. If anyone one of the three teams involved sneaks a win they have a really good chance of staying up. All playing teams who may or may not show up to play makes it almost impossible to predict.

They should have gone last season really. If the Brentford manager didn't come across as being very straight I'd swear money had changed hands. It was a totally out of character performance from Brentford bordering on unprofessional to hand Leeds safety.

Adding to that. In ’93, ’97, ’06, ’09, and ’15, two teams that went down back up.
There has never been a year when all 3 teams relegated from the PL managed promotion immediately.

Forest seem to have spent an awful lot of money to possibly get the same points total in their first premier season as we got???🤔

It was a totally out of character performance from Brentford bordering on unprofessional to hand Leeds safety. Much like Spurs might put in on Sunday?? Can hope that Bournemouth and west ham go the same way. Might be good to see Leeds win by a couple and it be pointless?

In a perfect world results will be going for them untill the 88th minute and then it all goes pear shaped in the last few minutes.

I get the appeal of Beeston being safe until a last minute goal somewhere, but I honestly think I'd get far more satisfaction from watching them get completely and utterly bummed in the gob.
