How Leeds didn't get up last season is funny. They'd be up with Sheffield Utd if they'd gone up ahead of us.

Automatic promotion over IMO. Leeds and WBA will grind it out. Brentford best of the rest but play-offs can throw up any old result.

They've made arsenal look very ordinary. Play some quality stuff.

Can't judge how Leeds would have done this season in the premier league based on one game against Arsenal in the FA Cup, Norwich were much better than them last season and they're bottom of the table now, we took more points than Leeds last season since Smith came in and we're struggling also just because Sheffield United are doing well doesn't mean to say Leeds would have done the same if they'd have come up, it's not even if they very unlucky in missing out, they were rubbish after the new year, and Derby beat them fairly. Also worth noting that Leeds have only won one of the last six in the league, so think tonight is just an off game for Arsenal as much as anything else.

Forest potentially only 6 points behind with their game in hand, and this is before the new year collapse don't forget. Hoping for the burnout again, Bielsa off and these shithouses staying down where they belong for the foreseeable future.

Leeds style would be good in premier league. Ultimately thought they lack a ruthless edge. In the championship again this season half their games they haven't scored more than one goal despite their dominance v most teams.

That'll happen with Patrick Bamford up top.

I'd love it, don't get me wrong. Increases chance of going back in for Phillips.

Not this time though, they're too good I think.

Watched first half of Brentford today, they are just a joy to watch. Remind me of Bournemouth when they were rising up the leagues, quick and play through the thirds so quickly.

Can see them getting top 2, another poor result for Leeds today so pressure starting to build now.

Every win is a disappointment as Benrahma is the one I really want.

In the week seems almost everyone was drooling over Leeds during their game against Arsenal, and talking about how they'd be in Sheffield United's position if they'd have been promoted, they've now won just once in the last eight games, seven of those in the league, over that period they've thrown away thirteen point cushion between themselves and third place, but they've got three games coming up against teams near the bottom of the table, two of those at home as well, so Brentford are going to have to keep going if they want to stay in touch. Forest missed a big opportunity to cut the gap today, if they'd have beat Reading they'd be just six points off Leeds and with a game in hand.

Leeds can't throw this away. Surely? They're far too good for the league.

Very funny stuff.

They can certainly mess up top 2.

Played 26 and only scored more than one goal in 12 of them so play too many tight matches and you'll draw and lose a few.

West Brom have only won once in six themselves but they have more clinical players in the final third so think they'll start to win again soon.

The plot twist is I think Leeds will win the play offs this time.

Would be hilarious if they didn't go up though. No way would Bielsa spend a third season and feels like the squad would also break up so they could go into a negative cycle again at championship level and not do much for a few season. Think everyone at Elland Road knows that aswell.

Thought the sale of ground was ok’d by the EFL in the end. Theyve gone back on original ruling? Be interesting to see what happens there. By all accounts they will get a points deduction. FFP is bleak, they really need to revise the losses allowed at 2nd tier level.

Well let's not be too hasty wait for blues to go bust 1st

Fulham only 4 points off Leeds now pending tomorrow's game at QPR. They're going to blow it again.😀
