Derby in the final... fuck you leeds

super sub marriott from lamps... glorious 4-2 away win. Derby lost 3 times to Leeds yet bested them in the end

[Magic Lamps 11,653]

on a side note when Izzy brown came in for bamford... our academy graduates populate the championship....

60 years 2nd division for leeds lol

I know a lot of people wont agree, but Lamps looked tactically inferior today, I know he won but that was more to do with Leeds incompetence than Derby. At this point in time I dont think Lamps is a good enough coach for Chelsea yet. Give him time to refine his ideas then we can talk about him taking over. 

[Laylabelle 9,349]

Rooting more for Derby I think. Mainly cause Franks manager manager. 

Play offs can be so cruel though. Must be gutting to get that far and then back to square one

Think you might have misheard it's 16 years. Horrible club Leeds I've always hated them especially their fans who were stupid enough to smash up our scoreboard in 1984. The SPG were sent in who were like the police's version of the SAS they battered the bejesus out of the Leeds fans it was brilliant especially as we were on the pitch celebrating promotion.

At least he does better half-time talks than Sarri by the looks of it^^ 

But yeah. he needs more time obviously.  But i donÄt even think he needs that many. like 5 years consistent improvement will probably do. His 4-3-3 with 4-1-2-1-2 thrown with medium to low block and lots of classic English wingplay is most similar to Carlo and Mourinho's systems but a bit more offensive.

City's first wave of bans is getting closer....

There are reports that if City gets banned from CL for next season, Arsenal would take their place if they lose the EL final. Otherwise, United will take the spot if Arsenal win it.

They must burn them lot.....have utterly cheated their way in with gross dealings all over the place. And if the ban is only 1 season, then fuck off UEFA. It must be harsher.

Judging on City's responses to the allegations, I trust UEFA that it's going to be worse.

And let's not forget The FA are also looking in to this, so City may also suffer points deduction in the league.

The audacity of these cunts ha. They know damn well what thay have done, yet act like a puppy and all innocent. The proves are staring you in the face you silly cows.

A retrospective points deduction would be crossing the rubicon. I see the temptation for the FA cos this might hand their darling Liverpool the title on the green table but it would hurt the purity of the PL which is one of its USPs. At least to the outside the PL presents itself as clean, competitive and unlike corrupted banana republic leagues like La Liga and Serie A. That is why IMO even if City get a point deduction there should be no premiership title rewarded at all. Imagine both liverpool and city would get deducted like 30 points and we end up champions after one of the performance-wise shittiest ever seasons, that would crack me up but honestly i would not even want that. 

I dont think that City have done worse than PSG who also were let of the hook after maing a "donation". It is more that UEFA is looking for excuses to break the English dominance before it really begins, like last time when they paid Övröbö to rob us vs Barca to prevent a retake of the 2008 final. One could also make a case for the 2005 garcia ghost goal, even though that backfired and for sure those torrid decisions in the 2012 semifinal vs Barca which also failed. So now because manipulating refs failed more often than not they are targeting not even letting English teams enter the competition.
