Norwich City

Hopefully this pause will help you recharge your batteries and come back stronger after such an emotionally draining end to the regular season, but the truth is they struggled a fair bit themselves during the final stretch.

Norwich fans spent the entire run in forecasting a playoff tie in which they'd easily dispose of Ipswich, so please give the overconfident loudmouths the almighty stuffing they deserve.

Would like an east Anglian derby in the Prem next year - I like both grounds and both sides have a Prem retro feel about them.

The 6 Finger Showdown?

posted 3 weeks, 3 days ago

Originally after missing out on automatic promotion I fell into the usual defeatist low Leeds United expectation trap and along with being heavily critical of Farke, I pretty much wrote off our chances.

However I've had a few days now to take stock and genuinely believe with a slight tweak to the first 11 Leeds are going to not only get past Norwich but also triumph at Wembley against Southampton or WBA and I even think our most divisive player Patrick Bamford will play a key role in winning the most lucrative game in world football.

No real rhyme or reason to being so optimistic about our chances considering our recent form but I just think it's almost like everyone expects Leeds to fall apart and have had the Michael extracted good and proper by rival fans that the Leeds players and Farke will be fully aware of and I think that will be the extra motivation that sees Leeds fans experience most have never experienced before... Play off and Wembley success.

Yeah, none of the top teams really finished the season in particularly good form, so it's hard to pick out a favourite. I'd lean a bit more towards So'ton because of that result on the last day, but they've blown more cold than hot since they lost that record streak of theirs.

Macca, you sound like the guy who jumps out of the plane with the parachute, only to discover it's a rucksack.

Agree. Saints are the favourite IMO.

Saints look like a team that have accepted that they weren't deserving of a top 2 spot, and thus the disappointment has worn off on them. They smell a Wembley win.

Really???? je ne comprends pas Farkness me old China.

I've had an Epiphany, I've changed my opinion I now see things in a far more positive light while others and that used to include myself too are not on the same optimistic page and expect Leeds to either lose to Norwich or lose in the final.

If all Leeds fans want Leeds to triumph at Wembley then try and visualise it actually happening even Bamford scoring the winner. Believe it my friend, give it a go,
what is there to lose and we may all just experience the most glorious way for any club to get promoted back up to the Premier league....MOT.
