Tough one as a lot of the Leeds guys on here are pretty sound so I don’t mean this in a nasty way but it is pretty hilarious to see them on the way to bottling another promotion.
Obviously there’s the Leeds/United rivalry is that in itself is worthy of a nice bit of wumming but I was in Bournemouth in 1990 when the riot happened and Leeds smashed up the town which for me is something that will always spur me to laugh when Leeds fail.
I am half joking here and wouldn’t mind seeing Leeds come up as Elland Road is one of those amazingly atmospheric stadiums and the games are more appealing than say, Brighton vs United but is anyone else struggling to contain a smirk at the bottle job (part 2)?
(By doing this article, you’ll probably go beat Brentford tonight now 😂)

I was at that game at Bournemouth, we all had to hide in the changing rooms while the Leeds fans decided to destroy everything because they just won the league.
My Leeds mate said Bielsa teams do the same thing every season.

They're second. I wouldn't say they're on their way to bottling anything. The Championship is an extremely difficult league where margins between teams are extremely tight. Naturally most teams will suffer a blip.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
But this is very much like what happened last season. Do Bielsa sides run out of steam? Is this a pattern?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Not really. Last season they lost 3 and drew 1 of their last four games. They only needed to win two of those.
This season they've hit a blip much earlier losing 4 and drawing 3 of their last 9 games. Yet they're still second. They have loads of time, it is only February.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
They only lost 3 times in the first 24, then lost 10 of 22 to blow promotion. Also losing 3 and drawing 1 of last 4 is bottling it, especially when you consider they lost against Wigan, Brentford and Ipswich.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes. That's what I said. Different situations as it was bottled right at the end, when they only needed to win two of the last four. This time they have hit bad form but still have plenty of time and they're still in second.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Turn 2 of them last 3 defeats into wins and we'd have still been behind Sheff Utd on goal difference. Sheff Utd also drew their last game at Stoke and had been celebrating all week leading up to that game.
Wigan was pathetic though no denying it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I thought you ended up five points behind?

Yeah when we finished with the third highest points total of all time and City finished with the second of all time, winning the league by one point having gained 57 points out of the last 60 available. That time, Clog Head?

They played well last night and deserved to win on the balance of the game. A good draw regardless.
