    Anyway, my team has Hull at home on the opening day, next Saturday, what a one to start. Will have to stick my tenner in I-Follow to see that.

    Reckon they've had certainly been top 6/7 If it weren't for lockdown, though I suppose that doesn't really matter now. Be interesting to see how they do this season.


    Heard you won in the cup today. Draw tomorrow, who do you want?

    Will be interesting. Leeds are hard running from what I have seen. Wonder how that goes when up against better footballing sides and teams setup To do a Leeds, press and be better?

    Happy memories from L1.

    Proper football and proper fans as well ...all miles away from the TV glare and razzmatazz of the PL <ok>

    No argument there. I said before a ball was kicked that they’d sieve too many goals to survive in the PL.

    Sheffield U were brilliantly drilled and organised and did great until lockdown. I think you lot will come and have a go though, stand toe to toe with sides and see what happens. I’m intrigued tbh.

    Yeah nice result for us, apart from Ryan Jackson getting sent off, dickhead! That means he will miss the opening game I assume.

    Don't the big boys come in the 2nd round of this....not sure who I fancy, because if it's a 'big' team, they would probably only send their kids down. Maybe someone like Palace or even Spurs, if Mourinho made the trip over.

    All bar those in Europe, so top 6 & Arsenal aren't in it but everyone else is.

    Think there's still a North/South split in round two though they're also drawing the third round tomorrow I think.

    It's a huge leap from the Championship to the Prem ... Sheff United and Wolves both did brilliantly in their first season but for most it's really tough ... we pissed the Championship but looked doomed until the 'great escape' the next season ... and we had Esteban Cambiasso ...

    Wow, you had Cambiasso and still struggled in the Prem. Hard to believe isn't it <whistle>

    When you see the names in L1 this season, it should be a tough league.

    Sunderland, Hull, Wigan, Ipswich, with the added bonus for us of Charlton

    Then the Swine (Swindon) H&S and the old bill will be crawling all over that one.

    Along with the likes of Pompey and one of my personal favourite fixtures Wimbledon, apart from going to there place, fook that, pain in the arse.

    I think it’s fairly safe to say we’ll all be wishing Leeds all the best for next Saturday though :)

    I’d happily take them crowing about it and claiming they were in the mix for the title, if they go there and get a result on the opening day lol.

    Been a few big-ish clubs in that league over the past decade or so mate. Was an interesting league the two years we were there.
