Yeah guys, plenty of time to join the Sportsbet pool. I promise, the discussion there is of very high quality, as is the competition...
Champions League? Really? I'm a Leeds fan but I think just staying out of the relegation zone is going to be a massive achievement. This isn't the glory days where we grew up with them in the PL and challenging for things back in the early days. All Leeds is is a name right now and to an entire generation they're just an an average Championship team as they've been out of the PL for 15 years. They need to earn their status back which isn't going to be easy. Bizarrely though they're seventh favourite to win the league:

Yeah, that's definitely the bookies seeing a lot of interest from Nostalgia gamblers -- I'll put my hands up and admit I'm one. My heart of hearts, I don't seriously think of them as CL material just yet, but they could pull of what Leicester did IF they can survive the shock of Prem League in their first season back. Even so, staying 2 or 3 seasons up doesn't mean a thing every reboot as Watford and Bournemouth proved, who both lasted five amazing seasons but eventually just ran out of ideas last one.
Season before last Leeds were flying for most of the start but couldn't maintain their stamina in the final bit of the season, and we only need to look at Norwich to see what a jarring shock it can be to enter the Premier League after a time away...
You are wearing their signature
. I put some small bets nothing too crazy, just for the sake of fun and not printing money though
Why thank you! I look at Sportsbet specials a LOT, but didn't see this in futures immediately. I always put a few beer money bets like this and then end of season I either get a lot, or forget I even had anything;)
