    Lonergan - Good enough for Premiership
    Connolly - good enough to get us to premiership
    Lees - Good enough for premiership (but agreed Grayson got lucky in that Lees shouldnt have been replied on)
    Kissa,Obrien,Odea - can get us to the prem but this position needs sorting
    White - his only mistake wasnt really his fault just **** refereeing he has been brilliant otherwise
    Snodgrass - Good enough for Prem
    Clayton - good enough for prem
    Howson - good enough to get us to prem
    Pugh - Position needs looking at but that could be just because of how good gradel was.
    Keogh - good enough for prem
    Becchio - good enough for prem
    McCormack - good enough for prem

    We need a Gradel replacement as 2 proper wingers isn't enough, but Pugh is very versatile and has proved with Stoke that he is good enough to hold his own in the PL. Howson is being played out of position but is still performing well IMO, it's very easy to be outshone when playing alongside Clayton in CM. Kissa has looked more like his old self in the last couple of games but agree he probably isn't good enough for the PL.

    YNBK - Honestly mate, out of the starting 11 you think we are 3 players short of good enough for Premiership football? I wish I shared your enthusiasm, if that were the case and we were just 3 players short we would be walking this division by now. The divide between Premiership and Championship football is far greater than that.

    Wolves
    Wigan
    Norwich
    Bolton
    Blackburn
    Sunderland

    I reckon 4 players would need replacing to stay in the premiership

    1CB
    1RB
    1CM
    1LW

    But Personally I dont want to go up to the premiership unless we will be competing for the top half! I cant see Bates investing enough to make us a top half Squad

    Our first team is good enough to be able to walk the league, it's inconsistency and individual mistakes that hold us back. As Ken actually noted in his interview we're very rarely beaten by the other team, we lose the games ourselves.

    How comes Norwich went up instead of you if you're better?

    So your team that is 7th in the Championship is better than the Norwich team that is sitting in a comfortable 9th spot in the Prem? How can you expect to beat teams in the Prem when you're not setting the Championship alive? There is absolutely no truth or logic in what you're saying.

    Ruddy - Better than Lonegran
    Pilkington Bennet and Hoolahan - Better than Howson Clayton and Snodgrass
    Moro, Holt - Better than Becchio and McCormack.

    Even you cant be that ****ing bias.

    U have to take off your Leeds colour glasses when driving?

    Some of you guys really do Howson a disservice.

    I totally agree. Howson is a Leeds legend in the making. A couple of weeks ago everyone on the Leeds forum was on Snoddy's back, saying he wasn't good enough for the Prem and how he was a 1 season wonder. Now they are bumming him again.

    And Cunning

    Snoddy is better than Pilkington (if he was in the Prem he'd easily be doing as good if not better but he's loyal unlike Pilkington who jumps into bed with Norwich as soon as Huddesfield saw a bit of cash).
    Clayton is better than Bennet (bennet wouldn't even touch our starting 11, been in the Premier League dosen't make him a better player than Clayton, look at some of his goals like Bristol City and Leicester, world class finishing that the media would cum all over if it was David Villa or Rooney).
    Howson scored 11 goals last season, Hoolahan scored 10. And Howson is like a decade younger.
    And Ruddy can't even touch Lonergan...the Everton reject.

    Strange then how Norwich only went after Pilkington when they couldn't get Snoddy. Also Becchio scored 4 more goals than Morison last season and played nowhere near as many games as Holt and only scored 2 fewer. Even comparing Clayton to those players does Clayton a huge disservice.

    Well then it sounds like Leeds should win this division <ok>

    If by chance this doesn't occur I look forward to your excuses, I mean explanation as to why this hasn't occurred <whistle>

    Shut your eyes. Put your fingers in your ears and sing marching on together. Your deluded fantasies might come true if you do it for long enough. Your level of ignorance/arrogance, astounds and upsets me. Deluded ****s
