Why is it that in football that every time you need a team to beat another to help yours out, they don’t? Newcastle, battling hard week in, week out for a Champions League spot. Go to play Manchester City who are in a massive relegation fight with Leeds. Newcastle, the obvious favourites to win. Newcastle put out a dire performance, lose 1-0 and City become 6 points clear of Leeds with a far superior goal difference!!
Of course mathematically Leeds cans till beat the drop, but that would require getting wins against Bolton and Charlton as well as a point or three from Chelsea, with Man City losing all their remaining fixtures (or maybe drawing 1). Looks like Leeds are set to go down to division 1 with Wolves and Leicester who were both relegated today.
Still, Leeds may have had a poor couple of years. The team may be bad, but the club is still fantastic. Leeds United are the best CLUB in the world (even though the team may not be at the moment!), ‘IF’ they go down, they’ll be back, maybe in 1 year, maybe more, but they will be back and fighting for silver wear.
Good luck Leeds against Bolton – there’s still a chance!
