jamtartan74 Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Great match that. Wanting Derby promoted, purely for my nephew who stuck a tenner on at the start of the season for them to get promoted, he’s needing Sunderland to get promoted Bayern to win the league and Chelsea to win europa league, all his others have won like Barca Celtic n one or two others to win the leagues, £8.500 roughly if it comes up ??

It should have been ten Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 11 hours ago, Lovecraft said: Good article here about how the away goal rule is outdated and actually anti-football. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/45460290 The rule's critics argue that things have now tipped too far in the away side's favour, forcing home teams to adopt increasingly defensive tactics out of fear of conceding. Former Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has been banging this drum for a decade. "I believe the tactical weight of the away goal has become too important," he told a conference in 2008. "Teams get a 0-0 draw at home and they're happy. Instead of having a positive effect it has been pushed too far tactically in the modern game. It has the opposite effect than it was supposed to have. It favours defending well when you play at home." Teams are certainly scoring less at home now than they have in any previous decade of European club competition... Good article indeed. Hard to disagree with Arsene Wenger here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantastic effort on limited resources, exacerbated by horrific injury problems, that made Hearts season look like a wee scratch. 13th to 3rd, playing a terrific brand of football, live by the sword die by it. I could handle losing like that, it was exciting, the season was an absolute blast, if Bielsa stays I'm sure it will be more fun than scrapping it out with Brighton for 16th place. Great group of youngsters, but Leeds realistically need a good bit of investment to be ready for the Prem. Who knows, maybe next year, maybe not, but its a cracking club to follow the fortunes. I'm a Hearts supporter, but a very big soft spot for Leeds United, no matter what people may think of them from the outside, inside its a very special proper football club.

Yeah but that's a load of bollocks. You're right in that they don't have the money of recently relegated sides but apart from that its the biggest budget in the league. The coach gets paid more than the England coach. The football had been good this season but is marred by spygate (****ing joke) and repeated acts of cheating (Patrick Bamford obviously the most high profile). The fans have been a ****ing disgrace and Leeds treatment of away clubs and supporters is shocking. I really struggle to find anything to say about them that is positive.
