On a serious note though I fancy Derby to win the division with Fulham runners up.

"It will be a tough season again for sure. Obviously I'm hoping we don't have to put ourselves through the lottery that is the play offs. I think there maybe one or two surprise packages in there as well "Who? | |||

"I think Leeds could get relegated this season." Fingers crossed  | |||
"Jordan Mutch joining Caulker at QPR will affect Cardiff" and Gary Medel (who we played out of posistion). Mutch is a very good attacking midfielder, 7 goals, smacked a few in from distance. Caulker - I think he will flourish next to Rio Ferdinand if given the chance. We will miss Frazer Campbell too, worked his socks off up front, missed a big lad to play off. We have brought a few in Le Fondre excites me the most but we need to sort our defence out. Keeping Marshall (gk) has been a bonus | |||
"I think Leeds could get relegated this season." Who's the manager now? | |||
| |||
"Cumon you wolvessss! :P I reckon we can get a top 3 finish! " 
I cant see you doing a Swansea, Norwich, Man City and going up and then up again.
Who are your star players? | |||

"Im not sure about us being shocked, most of us dont expect to rip right through it. We spent ages trying to get out of it last time so I dont think we are under any illusions. This is what I have picked up chatting to locals and reading message boards. I think the run Derby went on will stand them well but I think its us who have been labelled as Fav's" Yes it Was quite a downer when qpr beat derby At the end of last season but again there,s no point going up if you can,t stay up clough and mc claren had helped to build a team and mc clarens doing a Great job now, it is more about the money Aspect in the premier league but money does take over in the end in lots of ways, I can remember the years 1971/72 when derby won the premiumship at the Baseball ground but the wages are a joke Now compared to those times yes of course it was in the past like eventually everything is but I still prefer thinking that the game was not so pressurized in those days, in the 90,s It all started to change and had changed After 2000 time had caught up with the Game like it or lump it so I do both but being a school boy with my dad
and witnessing those times was a wonderful thing something from being a schoolboy to adult watching your team do
Well is very pleasurable to witness something that never changes and keeps
The spirit of the game alive within you,
there,s more cry baby,s on the field now
Than ever before yes occasionally contact is made and some of the ref,s
Are a joke but I,m sure not to some a
Ref can bugger up a game often which they do tv camera,s or no tv camera,s
Involved, the players of todays game
are not the kind of players I remember
two types of players both skillful and
not frightened to go in for the slightest challenge without getting booked like they usually are today
If you got booked in the past 90%/100%
you deserved it yes it was a hard game
blood guts and tears at times plenty of mud about and fans being escorted off the ground by stewards I even saw on a
Occasions where fans urinated right in front of others the stands were full at the time but going back to the blood and guts part you could still find your skillful
and talented team sometimes injured ones
thou I can,t remember many thou it must
Have taken its toll out of them in later years, with the likes of dave mc kay who
would have been in the game when danny
Blanchflower was, there was even a gentlemanly ethos there that all added
To the mix made the game it was then

"I think Leeds could get relegated this season." well i disagree we lost one class player (easy come easy go) got rid of alot of deadeood fringe layers signed comming thick n fast i know our limits above mid table but not in play offs.. | |||

"I like the way the game has developed though. I like the fact its safer to go now, the quality is better. I remember people saying England will never win the WC until they learn to stay up and tackle, rather than dive in. I cant help but think people get sent off now when they could of remained upright, this would 'possibly' remove the opportunity to dive and cheat the ref. The refs get too much jip, the players dont help them. Back to Derby, they were heading down (in freefall) when Mclaren came in so yes it hurts to lose like you did but you could be in League 1 this season. It hurts like fuck at the time but I think long term its not a bad thing, it makes the players not want it again. | |||

I don't feel that we were "in freefall", but merely that Cloughie had taken us as far as he could and we needed some fresh impetus and ideas. | |||

"Am a rovers fan and agree with that score line!! And we'd have been in the playoffs if Novak hadn't been given the freedom of ewood in the game at xnas last year!!"

Undisclosed he has got a lot of potential lee clarke loved him and had faith in him from seeing him live I wasnt over impressed but he is only young, he is replacing another one of our old boys mutch (who in my opinion is an all round better player) | |||

What posistion were they when he took over, can you remember?" We finished 18th, 14th, 19th, 12th, 10th & 14th in his time here, so I think we were just stagnating as a mid table side. | |||
"Is football back so soon, roll on the end of the season. It can't come quick enough." You've missed the point. You also missed the first post and the last paragraph. But thanks anyway | |||
