I make no apology to Sky Sports for nicking their “Leeds Promoted” image above. They owe us, I feel, for their snide and needless overlay of “Leeds Are Falling Apart Again” during their live lockdown coverage of a recent home game. Ultimately, Sky were wrong about the falling apart thing, as United clinched automatic promotion and the Championship Title, with two games to spare. A more apt motif for this season would be Angus Kinnear’s remark to the effect that we wouldn’t be dicking about with playoffs this season, and so we didn’t. Other teams have that nightmare before them, and they’re welcome to it.
Thanks go to Huddersfield and Stoke, both of which clubs I love very much, for making this weekend a riot of celebration and alcohol-based dissolution. You’ve been as wonderful for my spiritual well-being as you’ve been disastrous for my short term health; on balance, I’m deeply grateful.
All I need to do now is to add “As Championship Champions” to the above image, by dint of some PhotoShop type wizardry which is currently beyond me due to the effects of grain and grape. But I can do all that when I sober up, maybe sometime toward mid-August. In the meantime, I love all of you too, you’re my best mates, honest you are, salt of the earth to the very last Jack & Jill of you. Hic!!

Just when you think it can’t get any better? Hull ( the biggest club in Yorkshire you know ) are in free fall to the 3rd tier. Millwall look likely to miss the play offs, along with Derby. Derby will be applauding our team as they walk out onto the pitch as CHAMPIONS! Is it too much to ask for a Swansea win and a Cardiff battering? or am I getting greedy!

Hi Rob, finished the grape now onto the malt. Huddersfield made my nigh and Stoke made the day perfect. 75 years since my first game, highlights seeing a gawky seventeen year old playing at left back RIP Jack, seeing a great journey in the Sixties start with the Revie era, home and away when possible, then watching from afar during the raising of two more ardent supporters, did manage a few home games to tie he boys perpetually to the cause. Then the last fifteen years with just tho one highlight Jermaine al the Devonian ground. Still what goes round has come to us at last and for my birthday(81) I shall still go be seen jumping up as we score in the prem.
Look after your self and MOT

Hear hear! Rob. Can’t wait to watch the start of tomorrow’s game at Derby as – a. We should be awarded the Championship trophy, and b. Aren’t their players supposed to applaud us with a guard of honour as we come out? If so, I’m feeling bereft at the thought of the lack of Derby fans in attendance with their pretend spyglasses.

Well Rob it is time for me to take my medicine, namely a massive dollop of humble pie due to my woeful doubting of Bielsa’s method’s & absolute genius following our defeat at Forest, unaware that our “blip” had bottomed out and we were about to embark on a fantastic run of results for the remainder of this memorable season
Please have mercy upon my sinful soul Rob, for I did deeply doubt the wonders and miracles of our messiah Marcelo Bielsa. I am now a truly repenting sinner and swear to never again allow temptation to overcome me and cause me to doubt or question Mr Bielsa’s incredible capabilities

I’ve never enjoyed a match so much as I did that one.
The Derby player wanted to impress MB so much he even scored a goal for Leeds.
As for our youngsters they played as though they had been playing in the 1st team all season. I went to a couple of U23’s games this season and I thought then Pascal had a lot going for him but the last couple of games he was great. Shackleton wears his passion on his sleeve and a lovely little mover, must have rockets in those boots. Poveda looks so mild but don’t get in his way because he is a little Popeye and afraid of nothing.
The rest of the lads also gave their all and more there was no way they were out there for a kick about they have done themselves proud as has everyone behind them off the pitch.
If I have to compare it with something……a bottle of Grand Cru Chablis is my choice.
