I agree with you about everything apart from Leeds, I would prefer a last day relegation with tears from the crowdI remember being at a Leinster vs Clermont Auvergne semi-final in Dublin in the Heineken Cup in the mid 2000's. The Clermont fans were incredibly noisy and colourful. Absolutely no sense of fear, intimidation just a great atmosphere. Compared to us dull as ditch water Leinster fans these people were a joy to mingle with. Football fans are just a different breed. My one and only attendance at a Blackburn v Leeds game in the championship was kinda scary particularly outside the ground. I have seen enough footage on TV and Youtube to ensure I would give attending a soccer game in the UK a miss. Foaming at the mouth fifty plus men are not a pretty sight. The venom and aggression is alien to me. Like a different planet.
For Leeds this year I just hope they manage to stay well clear of a relegation fight. It seems to be a lottery in terms of buying in players hoping that they gel enough to propel you up the league to new dizzy heights. From afar it is fairly obvious that there are two leagues within the premiership. Leeds a firmly in the also rans section. Without some magic money that can't change.
