[Football] Leeds v Derby play off semi

[Superphil]

Ten professional football teams in Yorkshire, one in the Premier League.

Perhaps they should stick to cricket, or rugby league.

 

[Coldeanseagull]

3-0

Er, nope

 

[TheJasperCo]

Leeds can bloody well sod off; they're not even the champions of ****ing Yorkshire.

 

[Eeyore]

Er, nope

I could pass my error off as a simple miss-read of the scores.

Problem is I was watching the game.

Be fair to them. No-one has managed to stay in the Championship as long as Leeds United have.

[lawros left foot]

Is it right that next season dirty Leeds United, will have spent as many years out of the top division as they have spent in it?


Big club, my arse!

 

[Knocky's Nose]

Oh dear. Another Season in the Chumpionship for huge, stupendously colossal Leeds United.

Never mind.

Also, that game was a good example of how not to play in the top division.

They aren't yet in the top division. They pulled off a magnificent result tonight, they have to be given credit for that.

I don't mind Derby as a club, or Fat Frank. But them going up with him as manager would be a MASSIVE bonus for us.

I don't understand where the common perception that Frank is an average Manager comes from, people are too quick to judge. At least give him a chance before writing him off. Seems to me if he was a relative unknown from Germany called Franz Lampdorf he would be afforded a lot more respect. Instead he's 'Fat Frank' the cockney wide boy

Excellent stuff. 2 up, at home and royally ballsed it up. That's got to hurt ...

... With an IQ of around 150, making him extremely intelligent.

I agree, I've got a feeling he'll have a great future ahead of him in management. I like him; really don't understand the negativity around him.

Well its early days. But it was mildly impressive how he swapped Holmes for Marriott before half time with Derby 2 down on aggregate, and was rewarded with 2 goals from him, one with practically his first touch to get them back into it. A bold move when he could've let it drift (there was still plenty of time) but he took action and was rewarded.

I've been wanting Lampard to do well. He could've taken the easy life in a Sky Sports studio, but he's gone out and taken on a tough job. I wouldn't be overly upset to see him here, if Villa turn them over in the Final.

He's got so many contacts in his little black book, plus an extended family with loads of contacts, plus close friends with loads of contacts. He'd be great at bringing in the loan players and gaining influence for signings.

There's no evidence at all that he's crap. I think some just felt with our experienced Chris here, we'd be able to finish above the inexperienced Frank. I mean, having a manager with no top level experience is not ideal is it.

All four lower-finishing teams have gone through in the playoffs so far. Bit like when we finished third and were promptly knocked out before we'd even started the second leg
