This false hope is a killer

Meslier added about 8 figures to his value there

downthemiddle

Played Ilan

event

Didnt know Ashley Barnes played with them. Was he playing Sunday? Horrible player

Mushy

A booking for a diving, how rare

downthemiddle

And breathe.

Neewollah

Great to see the form from before the international break return. Hopefully it continues for another game and a half

Seathrun66

Don’t be complacent lads, she’s on the way.

just finished work and looked at the phone. I was going to watch the second half but I don't want to jinx it!

10000maniacs

Rutter, Piroe and Gruev certainly made their point. This is angry Leeds.

Didn't think I'd see it again this season.

Mushy

Should be 4

Time for Coops final game in Elland Rd.

Zaph

Hopefully this will see Cooper getting a final ER run out for the last few minutes.

Mushy

Firpo was great there.

Really need Coops on

GoldFour4

Rodon off for Cooper please.

Actually looks like he’s not going to bring Cooper on - think that’s bad form with a 4-0 lead.

event

He can do one more sub

GoldFour4

ah sorry thought we had done 2 before those 3 for some reason

Mushy

Coming on now at least

event

There he is

downthemiddle

Nice touch

GoldFour4

Its gonna be a long wait til Sunday week

event

That's **** it lads. Start that team in the final.

The Golden Miller

Leeds once again getting our hopes up, only for the big fall at the final hurdle no doubt. They should be winning this play-off final, but nothing is straight forward with the club. Love to see them do it, but its hard to be confident with Leeds no matter how well they're playing.

Read an article earlier but dunno how true it was. Talking about Leeds being back in the top flight being huge for football. Surprised me when they said Leed were the biggest supported team in north England, from people actually from north England. Liverpool and Man U having far bigger support down south, and across the rest of the country generally, and of course internationally. But within just north England, Leeds carry the biggest support, becoming synonymous with and the embodiment of north English culture. Thought it was interesting, dunno how true it is

Could enjoy bruce in lashing rain after halftime. Stress free when not watching.

How did you even get updates? Brutal phone signal in PuC.Eventually got the score at half time, gave up after that and enjoyed the rain. And Bruce.

newhouse87

Checked at 815 and 1 up. And again 830 and halftime. Couple lads whatsapp me aswel. Signal was slow though alright. Made show v enjoyable.

Carcharodon

Great win, was o key able to watch half live then extended highlights, Norwich are not great but it doesn’t matter, great boost before the final, a win like that gets the motivation and confidence back after a disappointing end to season.

Finals are always a toss up but Iam confident this team will go all the way, I think they finally know after today that they are the best team in this playoffs.

I got one in the airport going out…. In the Southampton end! It was an experience and particularly because we were so sh1te on the day and Elland Road was very flat…. Unlike last night yessssss!!!!!!!

Now the question is…. How can I get two Wembley tickets??

Stop getting me excited. We looked great last night. Heads a bit sore in work today. Wasn’t going to have a tipple but I knew I’d need it for the nerves.

Mushy

Southampton it is...we're due one

Carcharodon

Got a feeling it will be a classic final, I can see both teams just going after it, going to a rollercoaster of a game I think

Seathrun66

Damn, the Saints are heading to Wembley in the same form as us. Can’t call this.

Jimmy Two Times

Play like we played on Thursday night and we've a great chance. Only problem is that we won't be facing a team with Shane Duffy, Ashley Barnes and a half fit Josh Sargent in it. We need to figure out how to counteract Smallbone's movement and do a better job on Armstrong than we did at ER.

Afraid to get the hopes up, obviously love to win at Wembley but the prospect of another grim season in the EPL is not that inviting to be honest.

event

They are the only team to do the double over us this year I think. For me, they are favourites due to their goal threat. Bamford wont be fit (and he isnt very good at coming off the bench). I think they have our number this year to be honest.

Ceist_Beag

I wouldn't say for a second that Southampton have our number. They beat us at their place early in the season when we were still trying to find our best eleven. Our back four that day was Shackleton, Struijk, Cooper and Byram! The defeat on the last day was meaningless.

It's a 50-50 game and both teams have enough quality to go out and win it. I said before the playoffs that our defence would be what gets us up if we are to go up. Another clean sheet and we're there as the last game will have given our forwards the confidence they badly needed. Going by what Farke and the players have said, the biggest challenge this weekend will be to channel their emotions positively. It sounds like the occasion got to a few players emotionally in recent weeks, resulting in poorer performances. I trust Farke to have them well prepared on Sunday and I'd be quite happy to start conservatively and be patient in waiting for the right chance to come.

As Jimmy said though, it's a strange one as we would all love to win on Sunday and we would be delighted for the team to have the opportunity to play in the PL but make no mistake, next season in the PL would be a much grimmer prospect for fans than another season in the championship. At some point something needs to be done to address the increasing gap between the two leagues.

Carcharodon

I need to decide whether or not to go to the Leeds supporters bar in San Francisco at 7am, it will be packed but it’s 7am….and win or lose I’ll probably be blacked out by noon…lol

jacool

I looked on BF

To be promoted: 4/5 Leeds 11/10 Soton

90 mins: 7/5 Leeds 5/2 draw 9/4 Soton

I'll be all over over 2.5 goals at 19/20 myself - this will be a roller coaster.

Go, if we win and you don't go you'll regret it.

If we don't win, you'll have a few beers with some fellow fans, be home in your scratcher by lunchtime and up for work on Monday,fresh as a daisy.

I've seen some Twitter posts from LUFC Bay Area , seem like a good bunch.

downthemiddle

We're wearing the white jersey on Sunday.

newhouse87

Praying we go up, you really dont know when we will get chance again. I don't fancy going to a league1 game vs doncaster ever again. Obviously will be tough but cannot pass up this opportunity. I have faith in this board to get things right if we go up, if we meander in championship for few years the 49ers might pull the plug and we could be back to cellino days.

Agreed. We have the funding behind us and the basis for a decent Premier League team with several additions. 5/6 of our players will be fine in the PL, several more will be good squad players and good buys should ensure we’ve enough to survive the first year up. I don’t even want to think about the players we’ll lose if we don’t win on Sunday and the losses on transfer fees for those already out on loan.
