VillaChris Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 1 hour ago, bannedfromHandV said: Dirty Leeds living up to their reputation once more with allegations of one of their players racially abusing a Charlton player on the weekend. Appreciate this is an individual action but my word, they just can’t help themselves can they. Think secretly Leeds will be happy for Kiko Casilla to get a ban, massive liability in goal for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Leeds are top but haven’t started as good as they did last year. Wait until:Xmas when the tiredness kicks in again. It’s now or never for Leeds I think as biesla will leave if they don’t go up. what ever happened to PSG owners taking the, over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinker Posted October 5, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted October 5, 2019 Baggies are coming up, watched them against Leeds and they were very unlucky. I'm glad , the more midland teams the better . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 It's too early to say with the Championship even more so than usual, if you look at the table only three points seperate Albion in first place and Queens Park Rangers in nineth place. Glad Leeds aren't running away with it though, although they started the season much better than I expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that's why they are failing, to much pressure to win. I would gamble they are coming up this season but after watching them beat the baggies with a fair bit of luck I would say Leeds will be runners up to Albion.

It's always pressure when you're expecting to become something you're not. Spent more of their history outside the top flight. Spent the entirity of the last 15 years outside the top flight. They're at their level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see the logic in this other than an erational dislike for Leeds, they are the sole representative of the 3rd biggest city in England , they have thousands of fans who follow them home and away. The premier League have Brighton and Bournemouth ......Watford , Burnley Crystal pissing palace . Leeds belong , so do Sunderland and a few other as well. The premier League need these teams to make it great and fight off the threat of a European super League . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have spent more seasons out of the top flight than in the top flight, probably less seasons than Burnley who you mentioned. As for city size thats irrelevant as then Bristol City or Cardiff could then be labelled a big club too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaJ100 Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 (edited) Leeds 3rd biggest city eh? Surely its London Brum then Manchester and Liverpool? Edited October 6, 2019 by VillaJ100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaAlex Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Got to agree, I'd be shocked if West Brom don't get promoted. Seem the best team in the league by a distance so far, even if the point don't reflect that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobzy Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Surprised by the Baggies loving - their defence looks pretty shit even if they have lots going forward. Leeds look better than them IMO and also impressed by Swansea and Forest. Going to be an incredibly tight season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Can see Forest being in top 2. Got a pretty good defensive record and really like their forward options, Joe Lolley, Adomah, Grabban and Sammy Ameobi. Lots of proven championship quality. They seem to shot themselves in the foot by sacking managers at wierd times in previous seasons but Lamouchi has settled in well so need to leave him alone. Would love top 2 to be Preston and Forest, leave Leeds and WBA to their annual scrap in the play offs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
