    After 16 years out of the top league... Could we be looking at a similar time of exile from the Premiership?

    It's not looking promising is it? Nowhere near being sold atm.

    I have precious few good memories of the PL tbh ...

    ... the best are in the lower leagues.

    Enjoy what's in front of you, with the great people around, and you'll be fine.

    Don't like Leeds, never have. But their fans have suffered enough, I suppose.

    Their support has been good mate, home and away.

    When you see the likes of Arsenal whinging you have to give Leeds some credit.

    We murdered them at The Little Bistro <laugh>

    I used to know one of the coach drivers, now dead, who had a window put out.

    He reversed 200 yards and told the lads he was going nowhere until they sorted out the culprits.

    He never lost his job <laugh>

    Good luck to them. They play great footie under Bielsa and deserve to go up on that basis.

    Shame Moysey & the Dildo brothers wont be going the other way, but if Bournemouth and/or Watford drop out... meh

    I’ll say this.

    Delighted to see them back. Good for the league. Best away fans we ever get here and that’s without question.

    Us, them and we have to say it the Toon, most loyal, most committed fans in England.

    Hope they get re-established. Proper, proper club.

    My best pal is Leeds, and I’ve kicked every ball with him last few weeks. It’s been like watching one of us and I’m over the moon for him and for them.

    Leeds have real loyal supporters. IMO they are a Premiership Club.

    They have risen again. Good luck to them

    I sincerely hope that SAFC can emulate this ( but in lesser time!)

    I live in hope

    Looking at Leeds' last 16 years it seems that they got out of League 1 the 3rd time of asking. You never know.......

    Their fans are certainly right behind the club and create an intimidating atmosphere at home games.

    Good luck to them, yes they suffered enough and yes at the moment it looks like it will take Sunderland at least that amount of time to get back.

    Remember Leeds from the 70’s and hated them with a passion. However, wish them all the best next season. Hopefully one day we can join them in the EPL. Always cracking games when we play each other.
