Fulham and Brighton don’t have the history or size that Leeds have, I guess would be the narrative.
Not forgetting this is from a group of people who when arriving at a train station announce the county they are from!

Going back to Feb 2010, Leeds have won two of their last 18 games against us. Yeah, they'll probably sweep us aside...

strong and stable with me, or...
Their remaining home fixtures are:
Brighton
Forest
Palace
Liverpool
Leicester
Newcastle
Spurs
Based on this season any of those are winnable for Leeds. Spurs and Liverpool both lost at Wolves recently, Newcastle could only draw at Palace and Bournemouth.
I think Saturday is a fixture Leeds could turn us over, the debate isn't whether saying that is correct, it's why we're included in winnable games, while Liverpool, Newcastle and Spurs aren't?

This level of confidence bordering on arrogance makes me nervous. Bound to come back and bite us on the bum. Much more relaxed when when we used to go into away games hoping we’d scrape a 0-0 draw! (Wouldn’t change where we are now for the world of course)

not sure it's that, of course there's always the possibility that we could lose, we underform, they play well and they very well could win.
But their winnable picks as others have said, which excludes other big clubs, seems more based on their own delusions of grandeur against perceived smaller clubs than based on current form.
To be fair, most Leeds fans in the replies agree with you and think the poster is deluded.
They've won 5 games out of 25 this season. Not many games have been "winnable" for Leeds this year.

My initial reaction to your post was 'no, it can't be, surely?' but having thought about it, and read the other comments, I'm not sure there is any other logical explanation.

We're Brighton fans, we've had decades where turmoil, turgid dross and mediocrity was a fairly consistent norm.
This brave new world of silky skills, world cup winners, and optimism takes some adjustment for those with a lifetime on the coalface of pessimism!
Its still the hope that kills.

Yes, you're right. It was remiss of me not to mention that.
My excuse is that the narrative of Leeds fans being such thickarses, while not being a universal truth, is so entertaining.
Two things I'd say in Leeds' favour:
1) They may have a lot of bell-ends following the club, but their home crowd is loud and genuinely supportive. Most Premier league stadiums (not just ours!) simply don't have that.
2) If you look at their results, when they've lost, it's normally been by the odd goal - they rarely get thumped. It would be just typical of Albion to create a hatful of chances, not take them, and lose to Patrick Bamford's only shot on target this calendar year.

Sounds like that list was compiled by drawing names out of a flat cap.

Living the dream
By definition any game is 'winable' because they all start 11 v 11
However based on form, squad, etc.. then the odds are well in our favor.
Leeds don't sit back and park the bus and play to our strengths so we have a good chance to win.
