Sort yourselves out After Blackpool beat Liverpool 2-1 in 2011, they were in 8th place having been promoted the previous season. They'd picked up some brilliant results by that point - beating Liverpool twice, Newcastle and Sunderland away and drawn with Everton - and also picked up some heavy beatings (Chelsea 4-0, Arsenal 6-0). They'd scored 29 goals and conceded 33 and were on 28 points after 20 games. After Leeds beat Leicester 3-1 in 2021, they were in 12th place having been promoted the previous season. They'd picked up some brilliant results by that point - beating Villa (lol), Leicester, Everton and drawing with Man City - and also picked up some heavy beatings (Man Utd 6-2, Leicester and Palace 4-1). They'd scored 35 goals and conceded 36 and were on 29 points after 20 games. You're right pal, nothing like Blackpool 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a very simple start, not every club from 14th to 7th was promoted last season. I don't understand why you're offended by the comparison. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because its Leeds United - The most revolutionary and unique side in the world, doing things teams have never even dared to dream about before. That's what Glenn Hoddle told me whilst they were getting spanked by Man United anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Probably better example is Wolves. Won championship comfortably like Leeds, then spent 20m + on a few international players (like Leeds have done with Rodrigo and Llorente) and finished last two seasons in 7th and got to europa QFs. Now hit the wall but they had a good run. More conservative in style but they were still good to watch first season up and parts of last season. Press gave them the odd good write up but I don't remember the mass coverage Leeds are getting for most of last three years bar looking at the Mendes/Portugal link.

Just say you didn't watch them. I know I wasn't keeping on top of the PL when we were in the lower leagues. @VillaChris Wolves played a completely different, more defensive style, with a different formation etc. They were also quite a bit better. The only thing they have in common are the fact that they were promoted and did well. Sheffield United last season is similarly incomparable. Blackpool just played a very similar high risk, exciting style and as @bobzy pointed out, the results by this point were remarkably similar as well.

LondonLax Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 The comparisons to Blackpool are also a subtle way to assert that whilst Leeds have made a good start they could still implode and even be relegated like Blackpool were. I presume that is what the Leeds fans bristle at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on my experience of living in and around Leeds for 20 years, at this time when Blackpool were giving it a go hardly anyone even watched Leeds or football in general. I did meet an awful lot of Leeds Rhino's fans though. Leeds fans only started crawling out of the woodwork the last 3 years or so. Fickle plastic fans and it's not worth giving them the attention they so desperately crave. This thread is far to busy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If all 3 of those teams at the bottom get more than that it would be a miracle indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re a good side and play some lovely attacking football. Just a shame their fans are such precious words removed, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it really that offensive to be told you're not the most amazing promoted club in the history of world football? You didn't even get promoted with a higher points total than Norwich the year before. There is really nothing special about what Leeds have done or are doing.

AndyClarke Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 To be fair they looked very comfortable against a poor Palace side, there are some awful teams in the division. Need to sort that pitch out, awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Looking good for 50 points tbh. Got more points than I thought they would at this stage as thought with some of their defeats in December and early January they'd be around where Newcastle and Brighton are now but bounced back well from those defeats.
