I made a €100 bet with a Leeds fan in work about 12 years ago that Liverpool would win the league before Leeds would ever get back into it. Who would have thought they would both do it in the same season. Congratulations everybody!

Well, you won by a few weeks! 😀

Makes ye smile looking at a page about the Premier League and seeing Leed's name there once again beside all the big teams, like its the most natural thing in the world ha

Move over Villa, there's a new Sheriff in town. If Jack Grealish is keen to stay in the Premier League, we have a vacancy for a water boy

Congrats on the promotion been a long time coming delighted to have ye back.

As a united fan Love the leeds rivalry, its a proper old skool hatred and not built on temporary success because of a sugar daddy.

Ps. If ye have any more Eric Cantona's laying about we could do with one now

Wow..... Just wow, I didn't know how I'd react, I've cried all night, had messages from lads I've havent heard from in years, even the posts on this thread from supporters of other clubs, it's amazing.... Lads we've been through so much **** over the years... Derby last season had me heartbroken but I wouldn't change a thing.

Thank you Marcelo

I think a huge number of "Football" fans can't wait to see how Bielsa measures up against the other Prem managers

Up since 5:40am reading all the articles and watching all the reaction on twitter etc

A mix of smiles, shivers, laughs and tears

I'm not sure he will stay. He came, he saw, he conquered. That might be enough for him

Guardiola is a poor man's Bielsa, not the other way around. Bielse is already one of the best managers in the world, if not the best. Nothing to prove

"The Leeds scum are back, but this time you might like us a bit more. Not that we care what you think anyway. When fans are allowed back, a full Elland Road, now full of pride rather than shame, might be a shock to newer fans of other teams. The Football League is a great motivator, but we aren’t going back to the mockery and the mediocrity of it. After 16 years, we are back to change the Premier League."

Great article, really sums up how I feel. I would be of the same vintage as the author. I would hate to be a west brom fan right now but we've had plenty of those seasons ourselves.

Stoke are winning!!!

Brentford feeling the pressure ?

After weeks of giving out about playing last every week I completely forgot this was an early kick off!

Same pressure we've had for weeks. First sample of it and they're struggling. Guard of honour for the champions at Derby tomorrow would be a dream!!!

Isn't everything associated with this tho? Finding out last night with everywhere closed/limited was far from ideal but this is still our time and we'll take it any way we get it after all the pain. Radz talking about being allowed 14000 fans at a game whilst distancing. Would make it extra hard for tickets but at least there'd be atmosphere again.

This is true, 1st real opportunity for them to grasp hold of an automatic place - and it is a different dynamic walking out knowing that - they will probably turn it around 2nd half - but all things being equal (and in sport they very rarely are) .. I'd like to see WBA come up in 2nd

Yeow!

Guard of honour at Derby, by christ they should walk out wearing binoculars

West Brom gave us the cake then Brentford provided the Icing and going to Derby as Champions will be the cherry

Having watched that, I find it all the more inconceivable that Marcelo won't be there next season. Why would he walk away now?

is_that_so

Mad, all the blood, sweat and tears and it's a stroll across the finishing line without kicking a ball in the end. Funny ole game indeed! :D:D

davedanon

You know what I'm looking forward to? Watching the play-offs as four teams go through agonies, while we float above, blissfully disinterested, and thinking.....play-offs. Oh yes, I remember them...like Gandalf the White, struggling to remember who he was previously.

Oh and...

CHAMPIONS!

What an amazing 24 hours - we've been promoted and now we're Champions.

The wait is over - we will be playing in the Premier League after a 16 year absence. All the pain and disappointment is forgotten.

I'll openly admit I fell out of love with Leeds during the bad times. I just couldn't bear to look at how bad things got after starting to follow them the year they were last promoted. Going from CL semi-finalists to League 1 laughing stock was a hard cross to bear.

But the genius of Bielsa has turned this team around in way, at times, I thought would never happen.

We've endured so much as Leeds fans.

Forget about takeovers and new players, will the manager stay or go, will we sign White, will we survive in the PL. Forget about crazy owners and terrible managers. Forget about the disappointment, relegation's, failed promotion bids and the massive kick in the teeth the end to last season was.

Because the wait is over - we're promoted, as Champions !!! Premier League bound.

Viva El Loco.... Viva Leeds...

Knew Brentford wouldn't keep it up. They could be like us now and mess up the playoffs. I reckon forest will come up

The positive vibes, articles everything. It's overwhelming.

Keep pinching myself.

Champions.

Read that as from 2010 firstly

2-4 & 5-7 spots in play for the last game - could be an interesting evening on Wednesday for a lot of teams plus last relegation spot between Charlton, Luton and Wigan with their 12 point deduction coming.

It "could" be over by Friday.
If Leeds win tonight and go to 87 points and the Baggies draw on Friday night, they go to 83 with only one game left.

I'll be sending out the Lottery numbers later if anyone is interested!

If Iam being honest, I think I will miss a lot of the rawness and honesty of the championship, don’t get me wrong this is amazing and all that but the memories of the past few seasons will probably be some of the best/worst of being a Leeds fan.
The journey is always better than the destination and what a journey it was.

I’m sat watching Arsenal vs Man City and not sure if I’m supposed to hate either team. Need to get the rivalry back for Premiership. I know I hate Derby, Millwall and Cardiff and quite like Wigan, Charlton and WBA. Haven’t been into Premiership football in ages. Need a two week reintroduction course to get back into the groove!
