What a cracking game. Genuinely enjoyed it for the football as well taking £50 off a Leeds mate. A wager made in January when he was giving it the big un about going up. Funny thing is when they went one up I thought they might do it but when they went two up and the crowd was going twirly-scarf crazy I knew they'd fcuk it up. The keeper was priceless.
And so many echoes of a very early non-Rs football memory. This classic from '75
No time for Derby, particularly with Cole and Lampard there, found the 35 minute on pitch celebrations a bit OTT, and that ground buy back trick is an absolute con, but guys, guys, come on, it's Leeds. That was absolutely fcking hilarious last night.
Leeds and this ongoing bullsht narrative about how massive they are and how they're really a "Premier League club in waiting" or a "Premier League club in all but name" whatever the fck either of those mean. They haven't been in the Premier League for 16 years. Elland Road is an absolute sht hole on three sides, the only Premier League thing about it is they charge you £42 to sit behind a post in that disgusting, filthy away end. 37,000 there last night, oooh we're so massive, look that proves it - we were there not even three years ago, big swathes of the ground was closed and the gate was 17,000 - literally 20,000 have crawled out of the woodwork this season because they've landed Bielsa, and they all turned up last night to give it the big 'un, and they absolutely fcked it.
Leeds and this "oh the Premier League would be better with Leeds in it", "the Premier League needs Leeds" media horseshit. No it doesn't. No it wouldn't. All nice and easy to say from your comfortable, safe television studio - you try walking in and out of that away end, you try having them come to your ground, you try having your players bottled twice this season and the league do nothing about it. And best of all is they all thought they'd done it, they all thought they were there, they turned up for a coronation last night. I've never seen a ground go so quiet so quickly when they realised Derby might actually play a bit. Thought they were so clever with their viral Oasis chant at the first leg, "you'll beat us someday" - yeh, Wednesday night lads. This is what their top journo said the previous night about Villa getting through, as if it was inevitable that Leeds would be there to meet them...
Not a game which puts the fear of god into you, it has to be said.
You've got fcking violin boy up front last night, fresh from a ban for diving, first thing he does is dive again to get the centre half booked. Second thing he does is dive a second time trying to get a penalty out of Keogh. Malone stops Hernandez taking a quick throw in - immediately collapses to the ground clutching his face. Pontus fcking Janson, who's been an absolute gobshite all season, putting in horrendous tackles, abusing referees, still on the pitch an hour after the game in tears - hook that to my veins lads, hook that to my veins, I could watch that shithouse's world fall apart all night. All night. Kalvin Phillips, oh isn't he wonderful, isn't he brilliant, local boy, youth team, shirt two sizes too small for him, look at his muscles, what a boy, what a story - ahem, am I the only one remembers him, after the whistle had gone, two footing Geoff Cameron, putting him out for the best part of four months, torpedoing our season? Fck him as well. Fck him right in the arse. Alioski, diving and cheating all season, dressed in a bit of old carpet last night.
If you can't get on board with the goalkeeper they've banged on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on about having three Champions League winners medals going full and repeated Bankole on them, while they're all twirling their scarves around and singing about being champions of Europe (40 years ago, and they lost) then I'm sorry but you're in the wrong sport. It's the funniest thing I've seen for months.
And what makes it even better is they'll never have a better chance. They'll never have a better manager than that guy. That squad they've got will never be able to reach this level again, Bielsa himself has said it. Rumours around how sound the chairman's business is. This was it. This was their moment. Top two for 42 out of 46 weeks of the season, crowing literally from the middle of August about how it was their year, giving it all the "over to you" "how will they cope with the pressure" to Sheff Utd, who lost once in the whole second half of the season while Leeds have now been beaten eight times.
And they blew it. 1-0 up against ten man Wigan at home and blew it. Lost to fcking Ipswich. Only team ever to win away in the first leg then fck it up at home.
I'm sorry lads, I'm tired, I've been unable to sleep all night for the uncontrollable laughter.
watching the leeds fans celebrate their equaliser was really electric stuff. its sad to think that we're at least 2 years away minimum before we can compete for the playoffs and have a moment like that

The best chance we've got of being in the play-offs in two years is if we get relegated next season. Personally I don't think it's worth the gamble.

Although ultimately it was a pointless moment followed quite quickly by a disappointing one.
Derby win - Grealish in tears, talking about how much Villa mean to him, paying tribute to whichever distant uncle has died this week, before very quickly fcking off to Palace for £30m; John Terry loses at Wembley again, walking round consoling the players, all the time looking for a spot in the manager's back to plant his knife; Dean Smith, no doubt bitching and moaning about some free kick they definitely should have had six minutes before the crucial goal was scored, how they've been the best team in the league for the second half of the season and that somehow means they should be promoted by rights; FFP wolf ever closer to the door.
Villa win - Lampard narrative punctured; 35 minutes of on field celebrations at the end of the SEMI final made to look absolutely ridiculous; all the precious loans that have propped their season up head back to their sheltered academy lives and another loan somewhere else next season; Ashley Cole, grouchy after being made to go 90 minutes without a cigarrette, beaten in his final game as a pro; FFP wolf even closer to the door than Villa's because, after all, you can't sell the ground twice lads.
So, either way, it's...
'What do we want? We don't know! When do we want it? Now!'

"You can't sell the ground to yourself twice".
Nope, but what is stopping their owner selling it back to them for £1 then buying it back for another £80m? Also, that £40m will probably buy them at least next season and probably the one after that for FFP.
Unless the Incompetent Football League (IFL) punish them for flagrantly cheating the intent of the rules in the first place, they can do nothing to stop continuous buy - sell - buy - sell.
As I said in the other thread, the only possible reason to want Villa to win is the fact that we do not want another team coming back into our cess pit with the parachute money that skews the financial playing field hugely in the favour in those teams who have eaten crumbs from one season in the Prem.

The only problem with all that is we are gonna have to put up with their fans causing aggro again next year and have them on sky every sodding weekend
And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot
That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles

Amazing how Derby have made it to the final. Inspirational stuff.
Love those posts Clive . Agree with every word. Seeing Leeds self combust is a great joy / schadenfreude Fugk em and everything about them . Lots to dislike about FLDC ( not least the FL part) but Villa are a league above in terms of reasons to hate them (BRJ clearly #1 by a distance but that whingebag Smith is another) . And am I alone in feeling Keogh deserves his moment of glory? He takes a lot of stick but seems a decent bloke and he needs to exorcise the OBZ moment.
I absolutely cannot stand Fat Frank's loanee army and their tendency to fall over when the wind changes. they celebrated longer than Manchester City celebrated the Premier League title. also didn' really get the whole taking the piss out of Spygate thing, in case they didn't notice it was their bulging manager who'd lied about wirecutters and made a huge incident around it, result in a huge fine despite no actual breach of any rules.
I mean, it's hugely difficult to prefer a result in the playoff final now what with John Terry's plucky FFP smashers and his assistant manager Dean somethings being the opponent, bar a meteor obliterating Wembley, but really I hope Derby stay in the Championship for the rest of their club's existence. Cuuuuunts
