Have I missed anything over the last 15 -20 odd years?
We had 7 seasons in the Premier League....what were they doing in that time?
The term "sleeping giants" is pathetic.

Because Leeds like Swansea are playing excellent football with two very good managers/coaches in charge with both clubs sitting at the top of the championship. Leeds just missed out last season in Bielsa' first season at the club.
Leeds have also spent 35 of the last 60 years in the top division winning it three times in our history to go along with the FA Cup, League Cup & Inter-Cities Fairs Cup trophies we've won plus they missed out on two European Cup Finals
If Man City, Man Ure, Spurs, Chelsea Or the Scousers were in the championship people & the media would build those clubs up too! |  | | |

History means nothing, a club is only as good as it's last game.Cliques yes, but they are not some superteam that cannot be beaten | | | |

That’s a bit childish isn’t it when you consider their past.
They are indeed a sleeping giant. I remember supporting them during the 1970s. And went to the FA Cup Final in 1973. A great team they were. People still talk fondly about that team.
But they do have more than their fair share of “supporters” who let the club and football down and are up there with Millwall and Cardiff in that respect sadly. | |

"Because Leeds like Swansea are playing excellent football."
When clubs come to the Liberty, the press doesn't talk to their manager like they are lucky to be allowed on the same pitch with God's gift to the Championship.

Good points & I'm sure helps justify their current strong favourites tag for today's match & to go up - they probably will too as don't see, maybe Fulham, other strong contenders - outside of those two there are 8/9 teams in the mix & we look like we could be one of those.
I'd need to see us through another 6/8 games to truly believe that - particularly to see how we can bounce back from a few poor results/decisions. | | | |

Good OP Dick.
Leeds are one of those clubs like Newcastle and C*****f who have an overblown sense of entitlement. They haven’t achieved anything in a couple of generations and are living off past glories.
They’re a horrible little club run by crooks and supported by classless w@nkers who think that because they spent £100m of someone else’s money to get to a Champions League semi final that they deserve to be at the top table.
Every year it’s peddled that it their time, but they always blow up because they’re just a billy big boIIocks. Should have gone the same way as Bury. |  |

Great post.
Can't believe some fans on here think they are a sleeping giant.
Didn't we finish 16 points above them in league one back in 2008?
LEAGUE ONE FFS!!!!!! [Post edited 31 Aug 2019 12:09]

This is a very cringeworthy thread Dicky. While they were winning the league and cups we were applying for re-election ffs!
They’ve got massive history but we are where we are today - going there on an equal footing. Let’s laud our reinvention rather than pick holes which don’t really exist. |  |

Depends what you consider to be a giant.
If you consider a giant to be any club capable of sustaining 35,000 + crowds then they are. If you change it to sustaining 45,000 crowds then they aren’t ( based on current ground capacity).
Certainly can’t argue that they have been sleeping. | | | |

Ah well, this is good. If it is Marcelo Bielsa's second season in charge. Leeds are up and running and in a continuation of what they started last season.
For Swansea I think we will get better and there are more improvements to come from us. Once everything clicks into place, our players have gelled in and know exactly what Cooper wants, we may smash teams like Leeds. That may not happen today, but you never know. |  |

Media went nuts over some of our idiot fan chanting "Istanbul" at Leeds fans.
Media didn't mention, funnily enough, that was triggered by some of their scum chanting "Aberfan" a minute before. | | | |
