Horrible club and fans but delighted Leeds are back, both games against them next season will be great atmospheres.

Leeds belong in the PL, the more bigger clubs the better.

And maybe they will take the monkey (Kalvin) off our backs!

No arse kissing - my distaste of Leeds started when as a lad we lived in Poole on the South Coast and used to go to watch AFC Bournemouth in the old 2nd division.

Final match of the season was one where Bournemouth could get relegated and Leeds promoted and Leeds fans went on the rampage, trashed the car park and ran amok through the city centre and the beach, smashing up shops and harassing people. They even had 'Bournemouth Invasion' Tshirts printed.

So nothing to do with the mods and everything to do with witnessing 1st hand what a bunch of feral shitheads their fans are.

I agree. Anyone who knows, knows. I can’t stand the feral twats either.
 
Two teams yo-yoing between the championship and the PL just like Leicester and Southampton. Come up show no ambition, bank the money and go straight back down. It’s a sad situation what ffp has led to not much jeopardy for the established teams in the premier league as the teams that come up are only looking at the balance sheet rather than the sporting merits of competing.

There’s a reason the likes of Brighton suck up to their red team overlords in the PL as it keeps them where they are too. In other seasons the rags would have been relegated or in a scrap now to stay up, here’s where we are with the PL in its current form. The American owners now have their mechanism of non relegation in place, as the three teams that come up are so bad they go straight back down.

TM seems like such a decent man & I was desperate for him to succeed at my club, as was every other Baggie I know, but he has just not been able get the team performing, at all.
He inherited a competitive & pretty solid top 6 team and the club certainly backed him in the transfer market with signings & transfer fee's I had not seen at the club for many years.
However, the results since he took over have been awful & the performances have been getting much, much worse.
If his performance & results were over the whole season, then we would be in the bottom 3. That's the level of the drop off & I guess why the club have decided to sack him.
Decisions in professional football, at every level, are often brutal.
I sincerely wish him nothing but the best for his future.
 
Norwich City bin off their manager and rebrand themselves as Jack Wheelchair’s Norwich.

See that one ending better for his bank balance than for the football club.
 
Who the hell do they replace?

The worse teams in the league all got a lot better. Crystal Palace normally down there, are strong.. Brentford strong, Bournemouth strong.. Forest strong.
 
Boss at work thrilled his beloved Whites are back in the Premiership (League). Lives near a place he calls Bratford

Tbh I used to kind quite a few from Leeds and I was down Bournemouth that weekend and it did go crazy in that car park but the lasting memory I had was that guy who used to walk out with big daddy at the wrestling cans walking though he he Leeds lot while they were bang at it with dibble .
 
Strange last two games for Sheff Utd as they mean nothing to them. Can't move from 3rd place. All about the play offs now. Going to be a job to keep them motivated - Stoke need the win tonight.

It’s often why the 3rd place team don’t win the playoffs. These couple of games, their mindset will be to not get injured, not to win.

It’s a tough mindset to reverse.

Bournemouth fans still sing anti-Leeds songs. They certainly haven't forgotten that weekend in 1990.
