    Leeds- deserved champions ?

    Well that?s it, it?s all over. But do Leeds deserve to be champions ? Goal difference was crucial in the end, with under- fire Farke?s team scoring 26 goals more than us. Having said that ,they conceded almost twice as many as us. The only consolation as I see it ,was that they couldn?t beat us, or better still, they couldn?t even score against us. Along with our hugely impressive unbeaten run, that was why SP got the top award last week. Congratulations to Leeds for their bold approach, also well done to SP for realising a remarkable achievement ,over the past 8 months.

    No-one on here likes Leeds. That is a given but over the season as a whole they have just deserved to go up as Championship winners. We really did push them all the way and it went down to a goal in injury time in the season finale. Scott Parker though-and not Daniel Farke- rightly took the Championship Manager’s award and if there was any justice Brownhill as well as Piroe of Leeds would have been in the Championship team of the year.

    Leeds deserved it because they have been in the top 2 all season, but we gave them a right old run for their money.

    To rack up 100 pts and not win the league must be a record and we have set them this season. 33 games undefeated. 16 goals conceded, and never conceding more than 1 goal in any game

    We must be the most successful championship side in history

    Honestly I'm not bothered in the least but if I run across the clown who denied Anthony's goal at West Brom he's getting a very firm but fair headbutt. I'm hoping to run across him next week in Fuerteventura.

    Phuck them. I've never forgiven Norman Hunter.

    Best Footballing side in the division and would have wrapped it up a while back had Farke dropped Meslier sooner , that clanger alone cost us around 14 pts.

    Bumley without a doubt toughest side to beat in the division and fully deserve promotion.

    See ya in the Prem.

    Viva Hate.

    Over the whole season probably-we missed too many sitters.They missed many sitters also but created a lot more so yes probably deserved it.

    Alf came on our site and was very gracious.

    Whist I?m glad we were Champions, either side would have been worthy of the title. So congrats on a stellar season as both teams deserved the title.

    Hope we both go well next season and stay up but think it will take a lot of money and a bit of luck along the way.

    Cheers

    If the season had have run on another month or 5 matches we would have definitely have won it. We didn't come out of 2nd gear until the New Year
