    <laugh> I'm like you Shaks just trying to not get too carried away


    I remember saying around this time last year "this seems more than just yet another false dawn" <doh>


    But this season so far it actually does seem more than just another false dawn :biggrin: <whistle>

    Someone on the Hull City forum said those exact same words, if you didn't read it on there then you must have read the same article as they did

    Stoke, Swansea, WBA should all have more firepower and cash than any team who doesnt get £20m per year extra in parachute payments which will be on top of the £110m the bottom club got paid for last season. Midelsboro will also be close plus about another 4 teams with good squads, parachute payments and ambition. To hit the top 6 a club without parachute payments or a mega rich owner needs a top manager and luck.

    Oh and by the way Cibicki is scoring goals again and his team mate young Haaland is the leagues top scorer.

    Without exaggeration I think Leeds have played the best football in the 2 top divisions.

    I think i said when we appointed Bielsa it's gonna be one hell of a ride,and boy have we got off to a fast start, like Doc said it's one thing knowing Man city style of play & quite another stopping them.Also last seasons start as good as we were,i think we would all agree,it was nothing like we are now,we are a total footballing side in the style of city/barca etc,yes i agree we might not have the 25m-100m players,but all the same they appear brilliant at playing this style of football,Other managers might think you know what we will try that,but they will fail,after all only city & Liverpool in the PL can do it,& to a certain extent Chelsea,the rest just admire.So imo carry on playing like this and all championship sides bar none will have a job stopping us.

    And good coaching / management.

    You always need fortune (or perhaps lack of bad fortune) but what you really need is a good team, playing together.


    Just like Howard Wilkinson created in 1988/89.

    Marseille started with 10 wins out of 12 but faded away to finish 4th because the players were worn out halfway through the season

    Not this season, way I’m feeling now, 4th would be a disappointment

    Actually 2nd would be too, but I’m slightly mad of course
