With the craze for pitch invasions and stupid actions by fans I can see Leeds fans getting in trouble regardless of the result

I feared the worse when I saw Coutinho and Ings on the bench. I think Burnley will lose on Sunday as Newcastle form is very good so a point could do it.

I hope you are right but I think Newcastle are on the beach now.
After they beat Arsenal they were carrying on like they had won the league, hugging Staveley etc.

We need to win and pray. I think the former is unlikely and I don’t do the latter.

This is the trouble isn't it when it's out of our hands.. you can't rely on other results. You're right re Newcastle celebrating, it felt like it was their cup final that... we'll probably need to win.. Thought Burnley were very very lucky last night.

Pope and Pickford have kept their team in it and shows with a good quality keeper what a difference it makes.
I`m not having a go at Messlier but those 2 are head and shoulders better.
Think we might get a draw but so might Burnley.
Agree with Trebor that Burnley were lucky but we have to thank Mings for preventing them from winning it at the end.

We should have never been in this mess though, this is what hurts the most. If the worst does happen on Sunday i want a sound statement from the owners on how they plan to bounce back up very quickly. They'll need to get the fans onside.

Didn’t watch last Night and won’t on Sunday, watching football on TV is agony for me

No they wont - soccer supporters will forego virtually anything to watch soccer every week - it most value it more than anything - Leeds will still get 30k+ in the Championship.

They need a change of ownership and manager quickly or they will be in the championship for many years - perhaps that is really where the club should be - 2 year in the PL has been a blip rather than the norm
