Man seeing Leeds lose the first leg against Carlisle brought back bad memories of Forest doing so well only to lose in the playoffs last year.  Thank the gods we got automatic promotion this time around!

Leeds really should get through, I mean they'd be standout winners of the league were it not for that 10(?) point penalty at the start of the season.  Twould be a shame for them to lose at the crunch time and have to go another year in League 1.

They have a significant number of objectionable twats involved at the club over the years, in the playing staff, management and fan base.  They get no sympathy from me.

Plus Frankie Mac lives there.  Forza League One Leeds !

How's my driving? - Whine here

It was a 15 point penalty. They would have come 2nd I think without it.

Yeah. I'd rather see them in League 2 aswell.

Three for me, and two for them.

I still have nightmares about that 4-3 against us.  Even so, a club like that probably belongs in the Premiership.  Agree with HN though, some thoroughly detestable people have been involved with them over the years.

and they won, so they're into the final.

More late goals.

Correct me if I'm wrong but the play off winners get a trophy and medals whereas the team that gets second in the league gets nothing. (apart from automatic promotion)
Seems strange considering the play off winner could have finished 6th at the end of the regular season.

Automatic promotion, trust me it's enough.  I would have been a wreck if the drama  had carried on for much longer

yeh, corkster i was going to pm you about that - time is doing some funny things at the moment, it seems like only a few days ago that i was following us v Ipswich and you v leicester on the web, and only a few hours since we qualified for the final, but the rest of my life seems to be standing still or happening to someone else - i exaggerate slightly but i think you get the picture

maybe i should stop and soak up the idea of us going to wembley but i just want it to be resolved!

I'm happy but increasingly stressed!!!

Actually, I think you'll find they've only been relegated from the EPL once.

Am resorting to internet streaming to watch the PO final. Come on Leeds...
