If any club can snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, it's Leeds United.
It doesn't matter how big the gap is or how well we are playing. Any other club in this position would just win promotion at a canter, but we will make it difficult.

I think Leeds and Liverpool should swap bank accounts!..
Or could we just change places?..

People consistently comparing us to Liverpool or City
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Both teams considerably out in front and both sides notoriously known for bottling titles. Both have hectic schedules and yet Liverpool have shown there common sense and have a new player lined to start early Jan.
We are humming and harring about signing players at all. They'll win there league, will we get promoted though?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
They are 1/7 to win their league. We are 1/10 to get promoted. Of course we bloody will!

2010/11 - dropped from automatic promotion at xmas to finish 7th.
2016/17 - after being in playoffs majority of season we dropped to 7th.
2018/19 - after being in the automatic places more than any other club we dropped to third.

We should be used to it by now! Why are our teams always made up of bottlers? We are the “nearly” team.

Small time players playing under the pressures of a big clubs expectations?
Look at where some of the current players have come from.....
Cooper - chesterfield
Ayling - bristol city
Dallas - brentford
Add in some foreign players from smaller clubs and kids and we dont have a lot of experience.

1 star for this garbage, and for bringing the misery guts out from under their rocks. We got beaten by a sturdy Fulham team, an injury to a key player (who was perfect for this match), and a woeful referee. We have had some luck in our unbeaten run - yesterday, it ran out. Up next, we have a game against Preston, who we battered at Deepdale. Three points and we are back on course. And the misery guts can crawl back to where they came from. Believe. This is our time. MOT.
