.....actually just basking in the pride and love for our team that were supposedly just mid Championship 'also rans' until the Main Man walked through the door.
And also very proud of you lot as you've stuck with our Team through thick and thin - true true supporters and the reward is what we've experienced over the best part of 3 years.
Would not change a thing if I'm honest.
"It doesn’t feel right to be having a pressure free season"
Does that mean next season is going to be very boring?..
I found last season winning the championship was a bit of an anticlimax.
Getting promoted was such a release of stress after so many years that it was almost like "oh, we won the championship... thats nice"
I miss the excitement a bit, but being in the prem is way better. Need to keep cups alive next season as this season has been over since February, not that it's a bad thing, just I like to be competitive at everything.
To be fair I’ve been looking over my shoulder all season, so it hasn’t been stress free. I’m worried how Ill cope though with these next 10 games or so of meaningless mid-table obscurity
Does everyone feel like we're already safe?
Daren't allow myself to think we are. So that's added
stress to the season for me. And I'm stressed about
other clubs sniffing around Raph. But, that's it.
Do you think all that will change when you and the family take your seats at ER Wakey? I suggest it is more you are missing feeling part of the match.
There is a lot of stress and anxiety at the wrong end of the table, do you think supporters of Sheffield Utd and WBA are enjoying their season more?
still get the stress for each game but the disappoint with a loss doesn't last as long.
i think next year the pressure will be on to better this years performance. as long as we keep bielsa and make a minimum of 2 good buys in the summer i think it's doable.

Massively missing it.
Just think, we’ve all been used to been sh@t for so long, it’s just weird been good and safe.
And yes I do prefer it now but even the bad times was good, in sadistic strange way, if you get me

Absolutely, I think you mean masochistic, unless you derive from pleasure from seeing other's suffer when Leeds lose, but yes I get that.
Because I live so far from ER, I used to cherry pick games, picked Leeds vs Birmingham in 2012 a game we lost 4-1. Enjoyed the journey there and the game despite the scoreline, not the journey home.
Sometimes it is about just being there.
This season is like a reward for all the cr@p we have been through. Win or lose, we can enjoy our football, and there is always something to get excited about. This week, will we get to see Rodrigo and KP play?
The quality of the football is better and isn’t it wonderful to see our boys holding their own at this level? The pressure of having to win all the time affected my enjoyment of the games, and some of the losses were humiliating. This week, we are up against a very good team, and all I want to see is what Bielsa can come up with.It’s great to have this time to relax and enjoy our football. The players look like they are loving it too.
Considering we’d currently be 4th based on our points from last season and essentially 5th given that Swansea would have 2 games in hand...then no I’m not missing the Championship and loving how we are doing this season. All said though, the Championship is the best league out there.
Agree with Montleeds, the sh!t feeling when we lose isn't as intense now and subsides quicker. With nothing to play for (being safe an' all) I'm not such a nervous wreck before and during games. The Championship is special but I wouldn't go back.
still not safe for me and if you look at our next few fixtures i am struggling to see a win. Away in london to west sham, a revitalised fulham, chelsea with a proper manager and not forgetting city, sucm and bindippers. think southampton in there as well and they are struggling but at this time of the year teams at the bottom fight for everything so no im still stressed. Teams below us keep dropping points and we get a win anywhere i will relax more and enjoy the rest of the season
nothing like a bit of positivity aye ldl
its a leeds thing. i still wake up wondering if i was dreaming last few years only to find we have both bates and cellino in charge together and gfh are our financial advisors. then i awake for real lol
I will be happy once we are mathmaticly safe
I still get nervous when we play but it's getting better, the safer we get.
I'm now looking forward to the day we are mathematically safe and hope Bielsa plays a few of the up and coming youngsters. Lets see how good they are.
We aren't safe by a long way!
We lose three in a row and Fulham win three and they are breathing down our necks! Then the pressure can get to the players.
Fulham are playing far better than their position shows. A bit of good fortune and they will win a few games yet.
Hopefully though the other teams, like Newcastle, Southampton and Palace, won't all get better at the same time.
I think we could be safe but I wouldn't put my house on it yet.
Newcastle look to be in real danger with 3 of their top players out for at least a month, and Fulham playing well.
We've got players coming back so should get stronger!..
Have to try and see how many of the so called top 6 we can put in place, it seems the top 6 ain't going to finish top 6!..
Would be nice to finish in the top 10 this season.
Puts into perspective that Crystal Palace have finished no higher than 10th in their time in the Premier League and we're looking around the same level in our first season back. They have had plenty of income over that time to build their club. Hopefully we'll be spending our money wisely.
I think it's all about the ambitions of our club - they are happy to sit around the middle or just survive. While that's sustainable, I think Leeds fans will have higher expectations. I know I have.
Spare a thought for West Brom and Fulham fans who might not even get to see their teams in the flesh this season having gained promotion and could well be back in the Championship when things get back to normal!
