When will the two teams in question realise they are in this league for a reason?  off their own backs with players valued at figures most of us could only wish for.

..if you want to have a laugh..go to the Le-ds and Forest sites..
the anguish is almost unbearable(almost!!!)
This is what happens when you hark back to your glory days all the time..
The pain of what is happening today in the "real" world is too much to take..
They still, (yes still) cannot believe who they have to play week in week out and are astounded to have been beaten..
I dont blame the clubs for this just the daft lads who seem to blot out exactly what has happened over the last few years..
wake up boys and smell the 3rd division!!

Realistically they are both Championship clubs. People often say we are such a club. The truth is, we are at the level our town, fanbase and team merits. Obviously having aspirations to play higher is a bit different to whinging that we shouldn't have dropped so low. If we didn't go up last year we would be exactly the same.

Everyone has aspirations to play higher but I think its about time they realised that they're in league 1 like it or not and only them can get themselves into the championship.  If they are unable to do that then they clearly are not at the standard required.

Leeds fans do my head in.  I have a mate who is a Leeds fan and all we ever hear from him is how they are big club and how our FA Cup final is coming up on March 1st blah blah blah, it's all bollocks and quite frankly getting rather boring now!  Your in league one so deal with it!

Rant over.

All I'm saying is that teams always big themselves up. We're as guilty as anyone.

How many of our fans moaned we shouldn't be in league 2? In all honesty it was probably 1 division below where our level is but teams are prone to these odd fluctuations. Look at the odds times we've has success.

The only thing Leeds are really guilty of in my eyes is comlaining they have been robbed of their rightful place. They forget they were relegated before the points deduction and you can't call this season as it is far from over. If they do badly from now on in the 15 points become irrelevant (unless they go down by some minor miracle). Robbed of their status my arse.

The fact that Leeds are currently in form comparable to that of teams at the bottom of the league suggests they deserve to be no higher.
Of course their club is the size of a Championship club, but considering Swansea have scored more points so far this season with or without the 15 point deduction, I don't think they can bee all that high and mighty.

would love to agree with you but people do consider it a big game - look at how far in advance tickets are planned. They are the biggest club in this league and everyone wants to beat them because of it.

Just remind your friend (like I do mine) that being a big club doesn't stop you from being shit

Leeds and Forest are massive clubs,i dont like either so for me i like to see them struggle,Ken Bates has never done Swindon any favours and i didnt see these two clubs jumping up and down and offering support when the Town got demoted.Beds and laying in them come to mind!

[Reeves for King]

English fans always like to see big teams struggle, it's a national trait.
