[Oldgregg86]

Just heard Leeds have spent more time in the championship than any other club.

Long may it continue

All up or PL? Some folk won’t like that.

12 out of 27 seasons in the Premier league . Previous looks more 1st division than 2nd (can't be bothered counting)

Continuously , think it may be Notts Forest by a couple of seasons

 

EDIT Both came up from League 1

Based on current runs in the Championship

 Notts Forest returned for the  2008/09 season (11 seasons inc the one just finished)

Leeds returned for the 2010/11 season (8 seasons inc one just finished)

Ipswich don't count anymore, but they were on 15 seasons

I thought exactly the same, they’re not promoted yet.

Is it time for a montage of cocky CP Company posts we have had to read all season?

[JacknOry]

All those flair players but their keeper makes Raya look like Buffon.

cant blame them. so much tension against Leeds throughout the season. 

Hoping Derby will beat Villa!

At a time when much of the Country is divided on a major political issue, and notwithstanding our different footballing loyalties, it's lovely to be able to post on an issue that brings so many people together, at this difficult time .....

I think this gentleman sums up many of our feelings this evening .....

Play-offs had been missing that magic ingredient this season, until I switched on my phone after arrival last night.....

Had a peruse of a Leeds forum last night.

They weren't surprised they lost due to the 'EFL agenda against them', that includes appointing Manc ref Anthony Taylor

[K-Hod]

EFL agenda against them? Outstanding. 

[Oldgregg86]

Lovely to see Leeds bomb and even better to that we all have someone to support in the final. 

Spurs to beat Liverpool, arsenal to beat Chelsea and England's men and women to bring a trophy each home it's been a fabulous year football ?

[Bigdoggsteel]

Come on, where are those of you who were trying to tell me Bamford was a great player. Come out and take your scolding He is solid useless

Amazing result for Derby, particularly considering we played them off the field a few weeks ago. I hope they beat Villa now, but I had a feeling Leeds might have been the better shout to do that. 

Sky very happy.

Probably, although their players dancing the 'loser dance' while holding pretend 'spy-gate' binoculars, at Leeds' ground was top class....

Hilarious. Worse than the scousers!

Really don't get that mentality. We could be 3 up going into injury time & I'd still half expect us to throw it away, let alone tempting fate with something like that.

As someone working down here and dating someone who’s a Utd STH they don’t give two fecks about Leeds. Never have. ?

[philipl]

I spy with my little eye.. Leeds 2 Derby 4

Have to say there is justice in Leeds getting bombed out at Elland Road.

Felt all season that Leeds were a manager without a football squad to match his talents. Any Prem club sniffing around could do a lot worse than taking him from Leeds.

Like his team he peaked too early. The only downside I can see from their loss is that we will still have to pay a minimum £39 at their ground next season.

Sheffield United owners are in a Court battle this week. It has been disclosed that the club were funded using a £3 million loan from the family of Osama Bin Laden.

Doesn’t mean anything a headline sensation. There’s 74 relatives of bin laden is sixty one kids and they control most construction and engineering and oil in KSA a huge rich family where everyone in the country is somewhat of a relation.

Ive had dealings with the Bin Laden Construction Group buying armoured cable for a site in the UK. I don’t remember the tabloids reporting that or the fact it’s used to supply energy to 25 pc of homes in England

From a Rovers point of view, I'd like to see Derby go up. Something tells me that a defeat for Villa might knock the stuffing out of them for next season more than it would for Derby, and I reckon Derby would be coming back the stronger and more hopeful next season if they were still in the Championship.

It's a pretty crucial match, as I think both are potentially due to incur FFP sanctions should they remain in the Championship next season.
