I want them up.
They are a massive club. Hopefully West Brom implode and Brentford sneak up auto.

Never understood this Leeds being a big club talk. They’ve spent more of their time outside the top flight than in it, have only won 7 major honours in their entire history and despite being in the biggest city in the UK with only 1 club in it they have never, ever managed to average over 40k in a season before.
The perception of LUFC as a big club comes not surprisingly from their 5 European finals and 4 semi-finals. They were the first English club to reach the final of all 3 European competitions and only the second club after Barcelona to achieve this. Leeds would have been ECWC winners in 1973 if not for the dodgy referee who was later banned form football for bribery. Again in 1975 Leeds would have been only the second English club to lift the European Cup if not for a a highly questionable referee.I think much of the perception is that Leeds heyday of the mid 60s to mid 70s is still relatively recent compared to those other clubs and they did win the title again in the early ‘90s, but I do wonder why someone like Derby, who won the same number of titles as Leeds during those glory years, aren’t thought of similarly.
I hate Leeds but cannot disagree with this. Would love to see a more traditional top division with the likes of Sunderland, Derby, Leeds, Wednesday and Forest up with the likes of Watford, Norwich, Brighton and Bournemouth down. I know that sounds weird.
Nobody said they were close to us but they are a proper football club with proper fansNothing against Leeds but their fans thinking their bigger than us pisses me off.
Nowhere even close to us
Their current Stadium capacity is 37,890 and their the last team to win the Old English 1st Division 91/92 with an English Manager Howard Wilkinson
They’ve won very little in their history and have spent more time outslde the top league than in it. Also Elland Road hasn't always had a sub 40k capacity. It held over 40k for Decades but Leeds have never, ever managed to average over 40k. Also despite Elland Road only holding 37k these days they went 9 years without filling it and in fact had to mothball a large part of it.

I don’t mind Leeds but what’s all this “ they are a proper club “ stuff ? What does that mean ? What’s an improper club (apart from the east end bheast ) ? Doesn’t make any sense .
Plenty on line think they are best supporters in uk. Seen it loads a timesNobody said they were close to us but they are a proper football club with proper fans
Rangers and Leeds for me.I’ve got a love of 3 clubs
Rangers
Liverpool
Leeds
one has had the resurrection, the other 2 are on their way
Swansea 0 Leeds 1
Pablo Hernandez
Doubt it, my mates are ST holders at Elland Road and say if they go up they are being bought over by a middle eastern consortium.Think there’s a chance they’ll bid for any of our players mate?
I’d much rather see Alfie go to a big club like that than a Palace or the likes.
First win in Wales for about 7 years..massive result today MUThat's a big, big result.
3 points from the hardest game left.
Well done Leeds, at long last, surely?

4 more pointsDefinitely mate.
Well chuffed.
Why?With the best will in the world the likes of Bournemouth as a club probably shouldn’t be in the EPL.
Leeds are a club that should imho.
Watched the documentary on Bielsa they won’t spend millions if he’s still the boss. Not his game I’ve watched a few of their games on SKY and they are some football team and their fitness levels are astonishing.I'm hoping to see both them and Brentford go up. Leeds are too big a club to have been out the premier league this long and Brentford play some brilliant football.
Hopefully they don't follow Aston Villa's lead and spend millions upon millions on utter dross.
Watched the game when they played arsenal in the fa cup and they didn’t look out of placeWatched the documentary on Bielsa they won’t spend millions if he’s still the boss. Not his game I’ve watched a few of their games on SKY and they are some football team and their fitness levels are astonishing.
Whether you like them or not, they are a proper club.
Other than Rangers it’s looking like a perfect year for me.
Leeds champions (?)
Liverpool champions
