You think Leeds will stick with the manager for their return to the premier league?Quote:

Deficit of £61m, football today, unbelievable 🙄Quote:

Its a brutal league now, but nice to see Leeds where they deserve, even if it probably means I will never get another ticket to see them in it.Quote:

Even this season when you see who the clubs are just outside the relegation zone are in West Ham , Spurs , Everton and Man U who I think will all improve in the summer and then you have clubs like Bournemouth, Brighton etc that’s build good squads over the last few years it really is like mission impossible for any promoted club …Quote:

Watched leeds again last night and some of the football they play is incredible. I don't think I would change it that much going into the premier league maybe just add better quality/experience throughout the team.
Feels like a lose lose for promoted teams at the moment. Stick to your principals/park the bus, either way you're probably going down unless you catch a wolves, west ham, Brentford after tough summer for them.
They’ll need a new keeper. Meslier looked a great prospect a few years ago but he’s been very poor this season. They’ll also need a striker. Piroe won’t be good enough at EPL.Quote:

The game tonight on paper looks a cracker and certainly looks like one there will be goals in…
That’s it jinxed now probably 😂
Yeah it's very concerning if they go another season of the same 3 going straight back down. Completely agree about Messlier, they might not have went up if they hadn't dropped him. Strikers who can score 15/20 to give them a chance are hard to come by.Quote:

I’m not sure if the 2023 tv money includes a parachute payment or not
Quite scary how they totally rely on TV money to survive
Arsenal PSG will be interesting.
1-0 PSG Dembele
3 minutes 1-0 PSG. Oh dear.
Arsenal look very tentative tonight
He’s no scored for weeks!Quote:

The pass from deep to beat the Arsenal press was superb and 2 passes later, goal.
Amazon's coverage is miles ahead of TNT. No morons like McCoist and Ferdinand ruining games with their commentary and screaming down the mic.

Timber not dealing with the Georgian well at all. They are moaning about decisions but theyve all been fouls.
Yup. McCoist is embarrassing whenever he's on, decades old patterQuote:
