This is why players shouldn't be to extravagant when scoring tries, look he's gone for the big Swan dive and dropped the ball and they were only leading by a drop goal with 18 mins to go.

What I noticed most about this is the coaches getting in on the act, trying to get the refs attention and pointing and screaming at the individual who committed this murderous tap on the head. This is clearly coached into players to do this.

Football is just cheating from minute one to minute 90 . They kick the ball out and  shout for a throw in

Come on Huddersfield!

[Derwent]

Leeds United back in the big time. Get in there.

[DavidM]

Well done  Leeds , should be a premier league club . And a great tribute to Big Jack, Trevor Cherry and Norman Hunter 

[silverback]

Well done to leeds,wifes well suited as we used to go years ago,i used to deliver milk to some leeds players who lived at back a monastry in mirfield 55 years ago. i got a good tip at christmas too.

Well done Leeds, been too long out of the top flight.

Massive club. Remarkable it’s been so long. 

Bielsa is the difference in finally getting them back up. He’s a complete one off. Must say the break also worked wonders as it gave all his players a much needed rest. Because he runs his players into the ground they often fade as the season closes as they run out of gas (almost all his previous teams have done), so to get a second wind with the break was huge.

Lionel Messi unrest at Barcelona rumours,  Bielsa is Argentine,  is it possible? Or even thinkable, Messi to Leeds!!!!

Could Messi handle living anywhere near Leeds?

Leeds back to being a middling club in the Premier League flirting with relegation and missing out on Europe every year.

You love to see it.

[GUBRATS]

Be funny as when they go back down next year

[JohnM]

That is..if any Leeds fans survive the grossly irresponsible behaviour of those brainless fans who gathered at the ground yesterday with no thought whatsoever of catching or spreading Covid 19.

Congratulations to Leeds. I'm pleased that they're back in the Premier League.

[Trojan]

Congratulations to Leeds, hope it doesn't adversely affect the crowds at Headingley (should there ever be crowds again)    Obviously despite 15 years of Leeds in a lower league, the needle between them an Man U hasn't disappeared.

The Macdonalds on Elland Road is the only one in the country (in the world?) with no red in its signage.  There used to be an advertising hoarding opposite the ground, and one of the sports shoe manufacturers was running a campaign to the effect "1966 was a great year for English sport - it was the year Eric was born!"    This obviously didn't go down well with some Leeds supporters, for there appeared there the graffiti "####" in large black letters.  The advert was quickly pasted over, with plain white. But that didn't stop the graffiti.  "Where's Eric?  ####!"  In even bigger black letters then appeared.  No love lost between Leeds and Man U.

It's nice to see that, in these times of change, some things can be relied on to stay constant, your love for the 'Targers' being one of them.

Hope you are keeping well, OF. Take care.

Hi Tony, only just spotted this as my visits to TRL during lockdown are fairly infrequent. I'm doing fine thanks, hope you and yours are too.

Good to see the Bluddy Targers are really putting up a fight against the drop...

I recall attending a match against Leeds at Old Trafford late 70 s , a coach was driving round to the away parking area , two of the windows had been smashed , a skinhead type Leeds fan was hanging out of one of them shouting abuse at us as it went by , wearing doc martens , braces and a hard hat , she had a decent pair of #### as well

The McDonald's on the Headington roundabout in Oxford doesn't. Loads of them if they're in listed buildings don't.
