I am super excited for Leeds United for gaining promotion to the EPL. As a child, I watched the last EPL match they played 16 years ago, and after that match, a child about my age back then in the stadium that day after Leeds got relegated, held up a placard with the inscription 'LEEDS TILL I DIE'... When ever I recount that glorious moment I can't but feel happy for my darling club Leeds United for gaining promotion to the EPL. Congratulations lads!... LEEDS TILL I DIE.

More excited about the fact that another marquee name is coming to grace Premiership dugouts. Bielsa will surely colour next season with intriguing tactical 'chessmanship'. My dream of having all premiership clubs managed by the very best of the world is coming through. The drama goes on.

[s]You forgot to mention how the Glaziers family's money bag bought Howard Webb for your darling Man Utd...

You think it's coincidence that Man Utd premier league trophy triumph stopped just about the same time Howard Webb retired..

Don't you also wonder that despite Ferguson 26 years as a Man Utd coach he could only win 2 champions league??.. I guess he couldn't influence UEFA board like he did Webb and English FA[/s]..

They used to qualify for champions league in the 90s and early 2000s. In fact the season they got relegated, they made it to the knockout stage of UCL

I hope they don't go back for another 10 years after next season.


We really have fathers in football. I wasn't following their performance in EPL then.

Congrats to them. Season after season they keep qualifying for promition playoffs but always fail to make it to the premiership. They used to be a very strong team in the PL and play in champion's league before the moneybags Chelsea and Man City.
Wishing them a successful campaign in the top flight


While welcoming Leeds back to the premier league because they are actually a big team however the sad fact is they could go back down immediately without a tremendous injection of cash to buy premier league standard players.
The premier league is a harsh terrain where a mistake is punished in a second if the team lacks the experience. You only need to look at all the promoted teams for the last ten seasons and where they ended up at the end of their first season back in the Premier league.
The sad statistics do not favour promoted clubs.

Your knowledge of football is just as empty as your skull. Before glaizer came to Man utd in 2005, has Alex Ferguson class of 92 not won it all with 8 premier league? And to attribute Fergie united achievement to Webb. When did Howard Webb join premier league officiating? 2005 for you empty skull

And you talk about 2 champions league as though as some kind of little achievement? After English club were ban from playing in Europe in between 1985- 1990, no premier league club won the championship league for over a decade. Man united was the first club to deliver the champions league in modern era in 1999. That earned Ferguson the knighthood.

And to even think Man united isn't one of the most consistent team in Europe under Ferguson shows how inexperienced you are. When united lost in champions league second round to Mourinho FC Porto in 2004, it was said that was the first time Man united fail to make the quarter final in 13 years.

You think winning 2 champions league in a lifetime is a child play, tell me when last Juventus won it. Barcelona despite their history only had 1 champions league till 2006.

If you don't notice man united consistency in champions league, you are probably blind. For a team that made 3 final in four season, you must be a clown.

Burnley no bad actually.

Unfortunately, you can't defend your way to trophies...

That club needs new owners, new coach, better players, better tactics if they will ever grow above mediocrity.

Burnley doesn't play good football... Honestly, Burnley doesn't even play football!

What a Grace to Grass story. They bit more than they can chew. Borrowing money up and down. I hope they've changed cos they played like thugs in the late 90s and early 2000s. Three teams I hated so much then, O'leary Leeds, Big Sam Bolton and Mark Hughes Blackburn. They won't let you play, they play like thugs and ready to break legs.
I always remember that small Leeds boy that cried bitterly when they got relegated after losing to Okocha's team on the final day. DSTV used him for their highlights advert in the early 2000s. Life sha, all these events happened just like yesterday. I don dey old small small sha

I remember when, before ending his career at Manchester United, Frenchman Eric Cantona in 1992 and later on Ghanaian Anthony Yeboah, in 1995 used to play for them
