This Leeds vs Leicester is no defining game,if Leeds prefer that word or bragging rights,let them have it.. They should enjoy today ,make Monday morning write ups,interesting for all fans. About time Leeds this season shown they do have THAT squad & Farke keep telling the world about.. If they make & earn it fair dues… I prefer Maresca’s approach,stay balanced and collective,our potential our mission is based on a different perspective & club seeing itself starting from ground zero. Leeds believed it WAS too good to go down, we believed we had the players with the skills to prevent it,but not mental aptitude to force our stature,which in the end was self delusion. This could be Leeds singular high,let see if their strengths are in that alround distribution and a quality that delivers consistency.. I believe we have discovered ourselves,and Enzo being canny, believes it’s ON, but rightly knows we have to earn it… Farke does not have that resilience within him ..yet.!! He might find winding into Febuary,his squad & himself can embrace it.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just love this… Anon: Let's keep some perspective despite an excellent Leeds performance - it says something that a team with a huge wage bill, parachute payments etc are so thrilled to beat newly promoted, hugely financially inferior Ipswich to cut the gap to *seven* points. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we get back to the Prem I don't really give a shit if it's first or second. Look at Ipswich and Plymouth this year. Having a team stay with us for most of the year is probably good for us and character building for the squad. I'd rather that team be Ipswich than have dirty Leeds catch up. Plus they could be 16 points below us at the end of the day and that's almost certainly too much for them to recover unless we show relegation form. We've got quickfire games against Ipswich also to make our own gap there and I think we're much better equipped to beat them than Leeds. I mean a draw is fine. Leeds winning is fine. We're fine any which way. But I'd rather an Ipswich win. Too sensible and pragmatic. I'm here for winning the league with record points and an embarrassing gulf to the 2nd place dogfight. You always talk sense. Edited 23 December 2023 by Bourbon Fox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dahnsouff Posted 23 December 2023 Share Posted 23 December 2023 10 minutes ago, murphy said: Its relative I think. It is definitely a tier down from the EPL title and FA Cup and I don't think that anyone is arguing that it isn't, but you can still consider it a major honour below those. Lets be honest, the prem title is not realistically repeatable and we may have to wait another hundred years for an FA Cup, so for us, an eighth second tier title should be considered a major honour. I get it, I do, what you say is true, and when is winning a trophy ever unwanted? The fact something is no longer unlikely should not denigrate past achievements in the face of more achievable contemporary ones, but maybe that is just me, everyone sees it different I guess and perhaps after a troubling period, it maybe just what we need.

This is not intended as a dig, but I'm not sure that you do get it. No one is denigrating our PL title and FA Cup by saying that The Championship title is the same thing. I think that you have come to the conclusion that people are saying that by yourself. It isn't remotely the same, but I choose to still call it a major honour, below those, particularly as it would be a record eighth, but then I choose to think that the Community Shield is a major honour too. Look at it this way, I'd consider an OBE to be a major honour but it is levels below a Victoria Cross for instance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do you think they are all comparable? Also major trophies? Some have more heritage or prestige, but winning any league is still a major achievement.

That was my assumed meaning behind these comments, and I just struggle to see the same description appointed to the Championship Trophy, applied to other past honours we have won, but as stated, the fact I cannot view them as comparable, it's just a personal take.
