Will it be the most celebrated relegation ever?

No, Citeh's was far better.

Knowing full well how much relegation hurts you'd think that fans of both Bolton and Sunderland would be sympathetic towards Leeds should they go down.

You'd think wouldn't you?

At least milk isn't fizzy. I swigged a soft drink at an altitude of 12,000 feet last summer, and I think it came out of my ears.

A Word to the Wise

couldn't happen to a nicer club. Particularly like the line about what sort of punishment is it to be threatened with you'll never play for Leeds again

Good stuff, although I disagree with first line

The continuing demise of Leeds United is not funny.

It's making me giggle.

Living in Leeds its a funny old state of affairs

The shirts have dissapeared off the streets, the fans from the stands (last night incidentally they charge £15 and got 30k)

I never really minded Leeds that much - they had a healthy hatred for the scum, and threatened to break the pool/arse/scum (pre chelski c*nt$ days anyway) monopoly....

I wasn't alive when it was dirty leeds days in the 70's I guess

They have the potential for such a large fanbase - If Bolton could pull in half of the areas who consider themselves to be Leeds based we would have no proble selling, certainly wouldn't need to drop prices...

I dunno, it could be us someday again

So lets laugh at someone else now....

Comes close to the jeering West Ham could get for going down

No, ManU getting relegated in 74ish when their old player Denis Law sent them down with a back-heel while playing for Citeh in the last game of the season.

ABSOLUTELY CHUFFING HILARIOUS

If it was Bolton in that position no one would have any sympathy so why should Leeds get any. How are the mighty fallen, just shows that good houskeeping is needed in running a football club, just like it is needed in all businesses.

I was in Leeds at Uni a distressingly long time ago. It was in that era when we finally got into the top division after 2 years of shooting ourselves in the foot.

In our eventual promotion season I was pretty excited about the team with Reid, Whatmore, Paul & Gary Jones, Morgan, Dunne etc., etc. We then signed Frank Worthington.

I was relating the exploits of the mighty Wanderers to some mates & one, actually from Leeds ... a good guy who I'm still in touch with (but he replies to me less often these days ... I wonder why ?) ... said words I'll never forget ; - " ... I don't really know much about Division 2, you find you don't bother looking down the leagues when your a top club ...".

Another line when I was saying Reid was v v good & would play for England one day, was ; - " ... he can't be THAT good, or what's he doing playing in that Division ?".

He had no idea how arrogant that was. It was typical "big club-itis".

So, when I see them down there I don't pine, I don't feel sorry, I see it as a long time coming.

Still can't work out why he doesn't call me as much !!!

I remember them beating us 3-0 on Boxing day at the 'Bok a few years ago when Fowler scored all three and Gerbil Diaorreah was given the runaround their fans were singing "We're going to Europe, you're going to Rotherham"

What goes around comes around

Still think West Ham was funnier because it was us that slammed the coffin lid shut.

I'm from Leeds and, this time last season, I had respect for my hometown club.

Nowadays I just laugh at them.

I like the Leeds United Ladies though... MUCH better than the men and not managed by Dennis Wise, haha!

One of the greatest cases ever of "How are the mighty fallen": And they were mighty once. Just goes to show; never take things for granted. Even the mighty Scousers had a spell down there in the lower leagues once.

Indeed, before I emigrated in 1963, Liverpool were in the Second Division along with the likes of Chelsea. I think they werre finally promoted in 1962. So, throughout my formative years, I always thought of them as Everton's poor cousins and basically second raters.

So did the Evertonions.

If Leeds are relegated, will they search out that little boy who cried at the Reebok when Youri destroyed their premiership careers all those years ago....

He's probably about 28 now (the little kid, not Youri)
