[Football] Championship Tuck Up

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

I don't really mind any of them.
I can recall the Blunts being excessively bus-parky so it would probably have to be them.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

Burnley the worst away day, so them.

This!

and Leeds, because it would be funny.
Sunderland and Coventry instead, please.

I can't believe a consumer affairs magazine's team is in the second tier of English football. Them in the premier league would be awful so I vote them.

Failing that, Leeds for the lols.

If I still went to away games I would want Leeds up as I like the city and could go for a couple of beers in Whitelock' Ale House. But I don't so as Is It PotG writes, "Leeds, because it would be funny'.

I was in that drinking establishment only this week. A very pleasant place to spend an evening. Actually my visit changed my entire view of Leeds generally, at least as a city, and I do know a few Leeds fans from the area who are thoroughly pleasant people. And yet. There's still something horribly funny about the idea of LUFC missing out, partly because it infuriates them that teams like Brighton and Bournemouth are doing so well.

I was at University there in the early 90s and loved the City (not least that pub). Couldn't stand Elland Road though, went twice and they were singing songs about the Munich Air Crash.

The fans I met were fine though, a lot of them wanted us to join them in the top flight as they wanted to do an away game as part of a drug fuelled clubbing weekender.

This. The others could live with not going up, they know they're going down again anyway. Leeds fans actually think they "belong" in the Premier League.

You’re beginning to sound like a Brighton fan at last.

Burnley. I like Leeds in the Premier League. They add something to it, and are also shit, which helps. Sheff Utd are just shit without adding anything. There are no upsides to Burnley being in it.

we hear this a lot- Leeds add to the Premier League, the league is better with Leeds in it- but no one says WHY that is so. I simply don't understand the reasoning behind it. So what do you think it is that Leeds add, that Sheffield, Burnley, or any other team for that matter, don't?

I changed my vote from Leeds to Burnley for one of the reasons @Commander stated [bit shit], it would be an easier awayday, as MsBC is at University in Sheffield, and because of Scott Parker.

Leeds would be funnier though

 

[Oh_aye]

Leeds to choke. Because their fans are unbearable ballbags.

Sheffield united to come up as its an exceptional underrated city to visit and fairly benign decent fans.

They add a load of pissed up, aggro, neanderthals.

Don't ever go on the Sunderland forum. They still absolutely hate Coventry after an even worse stitch-up in 1977, involving some very dubious behaviour from Jimmy Hill.

Like instructing the scoreboard operator to put the Sunderland full time score up

That was a real stitch up. The feeling about the Southampton v Spurs match was that they eased off at the end as, had Southampton won, they may not have got off the pitch alive with all those baying animals in the away end. It's not something that ever bothered me, especially as Albion did it even more blatantly against Rochdale in 1972
