    Perhaps a cheeky bet from a lucky Southampton fan might swing it for you! Anything is worth a go! <laugh>

    And our records in the play offs are terrible! Come to think about it 20/1 isnt really a fair bet they should be offering that alone for us to finish top 6 let alone negotiate the play offs as well!

    Collymore said the other day he thinks Saints,Reading & Leeds to go up. Cant argue with the first two but the play offs is anyones.

    Cardiff have shown they can grind out results & had a great cup run
    Birmingham have been strong all season & also featured in Europe
    Blackpool good squad & Holloway has seen it all before
    Reading should take Autos IMO along with Saints
    Hull should make the top 6, dont think they score enough to trouble a team over two legs
    Brighton could be the team to drop out bus Gus has them orgainsed
    Brough having a bit of a blip now, another team that could possibly drop out
    West Ham probably the strongest there and will be gutted if they dont make autos. Not great at home though & the pressure could cause them to crack

    We need them all to stop winning along with us picking up 3 points every game. We got some 6 pointers to come though & and tough away trips to Reading Blackpool & Cardiff.

    I just cant see us making it accross the finishing line to be honest mate <ok>

    "What is it about Leeds United that means that teams and players continually under-perform other than for short periods?"

    Andy Keogh prime example - 2 goals in 22 for Leeds, 5 in 10 for the Lions <cheers>

    Players struggle playing for a big club and are comfortable playing for a club with no expectations :)

    and also must be less pressure when you got 2 buss loads of away fans following you rather than 32 :)

    I don't believe I said we have one of the best teams in the division. I said we outplayed 3 out of the 4 best teams in the division. If your gonna criticise every post I make at least read em <doh>

    The only reason people are interested in your poxy club is because you being in the Premier League is almost as big a shock as Blackpool being there. The expectation level at Leeds United is still far above any other club in the league because of the fans, who are not as naive as you to think we're anything but a massive club that's too big for the second tier. Like has already been said, if there was "no interest" in us because we're "not a big club" then you wouldn't be here trying your hardest to make fun out of us. In fact, the only reason you are able to laugh at us is because such a massive club is struggling in the second tier when everyone knows full well we're better suited to fighting to get a place in Europe.

    Being out of the top tier does not mean you suddenly lose your fan base and become "small", the fact we have a million fans in the UK alone means we have more interest surrounding us than your poxy little sheep shagging club ever will. The fact we've been on TV more times this season than any other club in the Championship despite not challenging for promotion means we're still the most interesting club in the second tier to the most people. We are still a big club. Watching each season to see if the sleeping giant that is Leeds United makes it back to the Premier League is more interesting to people than watching Swansea make up the numbers and languish in mid table. The only time Swansea are on TV is if there are no other fixtures or if you're playing one of the top 6. So unless you have something decent to contribute, **** off away from our board.
