I managed to acquire a Leeds fan as a colleague which I think is remarkable for the South of England, if they bottle promotion I'm certainly gonna make it difficult for him.

I'm watching the BBC updates, they keep saying Middlesbrough are going for it but they're still yet to register a shot on target.

Hound Classic Fulham - urinating all over Boro but you still think they could concede at any moment

With the quality they have they should be walking this division


Oh do be quiet. Walking this division?


Individually, they have the best squad IMO, especially their midfield/attack

Mitrovic
Kamara
Knockaert
Cavaleiro
Cairney
Reed
Reid
Onomah
Johansen
McDonald
Kebano
Arter

Name me a team with a better “looking” front zone

Apparently Hector looks good already. Could be very important for them.

Possibly but their strike force isn’t the best

Austin - Zohore - Robson Kanu

QPR 1-0 Leeds currently, as things stand Leeds "Promoted at Christmas" United are only 4pts ahead of 3rd. Down to 3pts and inferior goal difference if Brentford beat Huddersfield and down to 2pts if Forest beat Luton tomorrow and us on Wednesday (obviously hoping not though).

Of course Leeds weren't going to bottle it this season, Bielsa was getting them up and according to some, are the best team in the division.

EDIT: And as I was writing this, Leeds missed a penalty.

Leeds are without a doubt one of the best two or three teams in the division. Providing the season lasts less than 30 games.

Just 4 more seasons until it'll be 20 years outside the top flight for them, isn't it?

Massive club.

Had this discussion with a few Forest fans last week. This year marks 20 years since they were in the top flight. Little Reading have achieved far more than both Leeds and Forest combined over the last two decades. Where do we draw the line with this whole sleeping giant thing?

Leeds look pretty poor from what I’ve seen. Bamford is absolute toilet.

Quietly so as not to disturb their slumber and give them nightmares.

Too many pony tails in this game. It’s like the hairdressers derby.

It's weird, the normally very vocal Leeds fan in my 5 a side chat has been strangely quiet the last few weeks.

I expect she'll post up a Yeboah goal again soon though.

No you don’t understand football - they’re the best side in the league by far.
