Sure - they are still at least mostly wrong about Ben White though - our defence has been comfortably better than theirs this season, and plenty of indicators suggesting our league position is likely to improve further next season.
Similar CV to say, Roy Hodgson - just looked them both up and actually very similar in terms of honours.
So yes, a bit of a coup for a Championship side, tbf.
Watching all of this unfold over twitter, the amount of narrative that Leeds fans have created in their head and then applied to the situation with Leeds, Brighton and White, is genuinely stunning.
I tell you what it reminds me of, the sort of situation you might see in a film;
Person A has...
Watching that video above, the amount of bringing the ball out of defence will be insane with White and Webster in the team. Dunk is going to have to sweep!
I'm assuming he'll be banned from WACCOE (still genuinely can't believe what that stands for, so funny) and denounced from the cult of LeedsLeedsLeeds?
In that case, why did you lose 9 times when the title wasn't yet won? If it wasn't for a lack of effort, it must've been a lack of quality.
Obviously not that great a side, certainly no better than ours when we were promoted.
And the standout player for you last season has come back to his...
I haven't seen a single Brighton fan "laughing or poking fun at them having a chance of getting White".
It's been the ludicrous levels of arrogance and frustration at being our feeder club that we've found funny. Because it is funny.
Really? We'd come away with a fat wedge of cash for a player we've never needed to use in the PL previously. I think we'd be pretty happy to be honest.
It really is win-win for us whatever happens, that's what's so amusing about Leeds fans' impotent fury at being our feeder club.
Cases in point from this season just finished, a season where they by their own standards were brilliant;
Leeds 0 - 1 Swansea
Charlton 1 - 0 Leeds
Millwall 2 - 1 Leeds
Fulham 2 - 1 Leeds
Leeds 0 - 2 Sheff Weds :lol:
QPR 1 - 0 Leeds
Leeds 0 - 1 Wigan
Nottm Forest 2 - 0 Leeds
Cardiff 2 - 0 Leeds...
Absolutely this - couldn't be less aerated (good word) if I tried.
Lightly amused is probably the best term for it, it's genuinely enjoyable watching Leeds fans heads' explode at the thought of being little ol' Brighton's feeder club.
We can accept it - we have pretty thick skins here. But if people see a view that they feel is unsubstantiated bollocks, they should be able to debate it. As should you. Shame if you flounce off, hope you stick around.
Because he's been behind Lewis Dunk (who is ****ing brilliant, but you probably know that) and Adam Webster (stunning potential, starting to show it second half of the season).
Nothing more sinister than that. White might go on to be as good as them, or even one day surpass them.
Well we got 6 points off Arsenal this season so sounds like you've got a way to go to be at our level :wink:
Nah, I'm not saying I think you'll go down - I have no idea to be honest, anywhere between 12th and 18th would be my guess for you guys.
But what I think is likely is that Bielsa will...
But this comparison bears no resemblance to the likely upcoming reality, so isn't really relevant IMO.
A more apt comparison would be - "playing great football in the Champ, winning every week" to "being dry humped every other week by ludicrously rich clubs". Which of those "feels better"...
Possibly - however I think some Leeds fans should temper expectations a little. You might do Wolves or a Sheff Utd, but there's probably a better chance you won't.
Over the past few years - Fulham, Norwich, Huddersfield fans all came up crowing about how they were going to be absolutely fine...
