History is there to be re-written. The similarities are uncanny, but where Leeds failed, we will triumph!

Couldn't this have waited till the finals.

Indeed, it's startling to say the least. The most concerning part of it is the similar club circumstances, and the psychological aspects, which transcends mere superstition.

Never compare Chelsea to Leeds. Ever.

I appreciate the similarities and the circumstances, but never compare Chelsea to Leeds. Ever.

On the positive, Munich is the 'underdogs final' (Nottingham Forest 79', Marseille 93', Dortmund 96').

The Leeds/Munich final was in Paris.

Didn't Clough take Leeds to Mallorca, same place where AVB did?

E: quick wikipedia says it was Peter Taylor who did that to Derby, nevermind

No, that was only with Nottingham Forest..

Besides, he wasn't at leeds long enough to do that (44 days).

Interesting. I don't believe in superstition and whatnot, but it's interesting.

The Damned United was a pretty good movie.

Okay,not one of the most reliable sources but I'm glad Chelsea are interested in him.He's only 24 years old and has scored many goals so far and is definitely a sheer class striker.35m may be too much but I am sure they can negotiate the price down.

The Damned United was a pretty good movie.

There was a sublime documentary which aired in the weeks before the movie release. Great storytelling from the interviewees, well crafted, a must see.

FYI, part 1 is part 2, for some reason.

He's good but can be wasteful in front of goal at times and can go missing in big games

Yeah should be a plan B buy.Cavani needs be our top priority.

Talk about not paying any attention to the above comment.....

Ooops, sorry. Came into the thread and just posted it without reading anything. Apologies.

[GodZola 630]

Going by these stats then there will be more controversy as I seem to remember Leeds got some shocking decisions given against them? Might be wrong as I've only seen the highlights but the game I saw, Leeds definitely got a raw deal.

The Damned United was a pretty good movie.

Yeah but it was changed a lot from the original book. The book came under heavy scrutiny because it portrayed such a negative imagine of Clough, his entire family and friends didn't appreciate what was said because it was quite far from the truth. Thankfully when the movie was being made, the director personally sought out input from his wife to make sure they could improve it from the book.
