Yeah, it looks like Liverpool is the big candidate. But then again, the odds were against Spurs both in quarterfinals against Manchester City and in semis agains Ajax and they somehow found away to win the series (both times with a bit of luck I must say). Horacewimp , I was sorry to see Leeds got knocked out of the promotion playoffs. A pity, they had a 2 goal advantage at one point. Will Bielsa continue next season? Also, dillwyn : at least Cardiff went down beating Man U 2-0 at Old Trafford. LFC will be favourites but it's what happens on the day that counts. I must admit that I wasn't expecting a win last week against Barca (a win on the night but not over two legs maybe) but if we apply the same work ethic against Spurs then we should win.At the start of the season I predicted Norwich and Leeds to go up but Leeds have got into the habit of blowing it at the end,so whether Bielsa stays now is up for debate as he doesn't normally hang around long. Cardiff beating the mancs was funny even though I wasn't in a good mood after City won the league....

I wanted Derby to win today,I hate the racist Terry with a passion...... Sorry, I'm not too acquainted with England's second division. Is that Terry you are talking about John Terry, the ex Chelsea central defender?

It certainly is,he was clearly seen on TV to be saying something racist towards an opponent but he got away with it....

Well, that's his longest tenure at a club in a while! Hopefully this time he gets the promotion for Leeds.

Wow, that's a very passionate letter. I'm glad he decided to stay and please the fans.
The guy is undoubtedly charismatic, with a very sui generis charisma (because he's a weirdo really). His players always speak well of him and he has captivated fans in most places he has been, even in those places where results have not been on his side. For example, he led the Argentine national team to what's considered the biggest failures in World Cups in the last 40 years, and still not even a single player on that roster had anything negative to say about him. And in Chile he is heralded as the greatest coach they ever had. I think he's quite crazy, I'm not that sold on his tactics and I find his approach towards physical form along the season to be suspect at best, but his charisma and leadership are beyond any doubt.
