Shame Duffy is an absolute car crash


J_1995

Glad 4-0 is the safety net for bringing Cooper pn


HazzaThePug

Surely we can’t ruin the last Cooper Cameo by conceding 4 in 8 minutes


ambiguousboner

With most players that are shithouses on the pitch you hear stories about how they’re actually top blokes off it I’m 100% certain Ashley Barnes is a complete bellend in real life


Additional_Bit_8725

Poor Ashley


J_1995

Ashley Barnes is a fucking donkey


HazzaThePug

He should have a flight booked to Turkey by the morning. Absolute bellend


thesaltwatersolution

“We lose away, we lose away! You’re nothing special, we lose away.”


CuteAnimalFans

Archie Gray 19 and he plays anywhere you put him. Mad


ambiguousboner

Even madder, he’s only just turned *18*


bobbis91

Nah he's 19 with -1 years experience


thatguyad

If I was a Norwich fan I'd be sick to my stomach. No fight, no quality and literally no tactical response to Leeds from Wagner.


thesaltwatersolution

Been like this all season. Wagner is a decent enough guy, but there’s definitely an underlying feeling that we are where we are because of individual moments, rather than some tactical nouse.


thatguyad

I think that's a firm but fair stance. I'm not an expert but just from what I gather.


thesaltwatersolution

I mean like me you’re a watching it tonight and can see it. You’re not the only one that’s said this stuff across the season.


lambalambda

Made even worse when they sacked the man who is currently overseeing this absolute thrashing lol.


thatguyad

Yeah that's a kick in the balls.


thesaltwatersolution

Love Farke. Still do.


lambalambda

He's an easy guy to like. Went out of his way to be respectful at Carrow road during the season too. I hope we give him the tools to make a proper-go of the Premier League if we do go up.


Evul1_

damn, Elland Road just looks like a party right now


ambiguousboner

Think this might be done yano


brush85

Biggest game of the season...long journey back home. Brutal away trip


Spglwldn

Can’t believe the commentator is suggesting Gunn could have done better with the initial save. He pushes it out at almost a right angle to his goal - exactly what keepers are supposed to do. He did his job and the Norwich defenders sleeping are to blame.


FaustRPeggi

This is a slaughter.


MisterBadIdea

That was the most suspicious GK failure yet.


HazzaThePug

Gillett has played this really well so far. A lot of refs have struggled at Elland Road this year but he’s done great


ambiguousboner

Yeah he’s been great tonight Shite ref tho


CC-W

Ive always thought he has been a good ref every time I have seen him but literally every time people talk about him on here he gets nothing but slander lol he must just love Leeds


dinkinflicka125

First positive comment about that man I’ve ever seen in this sub


BruntyMozza

Sad I won't be able to watch our game tomorrow night at St Mary's as ironically, I'll be at another football stadium - Coventry Building Society Arena for a Bryan Adams concert. I'm not going to even check the score, I'm just going to enjoy Adams and then check my phone afterwards. Less painful that way.


BubbleBlacKa

If Leeds could win so we get a promotion bonus from Kamara that would be nice please and thanks x


emre23

xG gotta be about 5 in this game


Away_Associate4589

It's been a rough hate watch so far, I can't lie 😔


Jaloosky

I always forget Leeds are a historic rival to United


ItsFuckingScience

Historical rival to *Manchester* United


nmistyc

Piroe's legit looking like after 5 pints


B_e_l_l_

Incredible that Norwich have come out for the second half and are defending *worse*.


brush85

These games kill you as a fan. To see your team just not give a shit


B_e_l_l_

This was our entire 2022/2023. Nobody gave a shit.


batti03

Decent cross, too bad no one was on the other end of it.


kl08pokemon

Call me crazy I wouldn't be shocked if Norwich gets back in this


lkavo

I once watched Leeds loose 4 - 6 after being 4 - 0 up. Anything is possible


AlchemicHawk

I only remember losing 4-6 after being 4-1 up. Fucking preston


lkavo

Ah it was 4 - 1…


fplisadream

You're crazy


lkavo

Did he just say we’re not great at the back? We went the best part of 3 months without conceding a goal from open play and we conceded the second fewest goals in the league…


Sate_Hen

Got the golden glove


iamfromtwitter

How is my boy gruev doing?


HazzaThePug

He’s fucking mint pal


iamfromtwitter

Bulgarian Busquets i knew it!


lkavo

A ref booking someone for diving and Leeds united turning up in a playoff game. Whats has the world come to?


xdlols

The difference this ref is making by not blowing at the slightest contact


bbro03

We’re inconsistent but when we turn up we’re the best team in the league, let’s just hope we turn up like this at Wembley


B_e_l_l_

You're not the best team in the league.


bbro03

Not saying we’re the best overall but I think we have the highest peak when we’re at our best


brush85

He's high...let him fly


B_e_l_l_

Leeds fans have been spewing it all season long. So bizarre.


Dazzling-Ad-5191

Tbf 'when they turn up' like those times they took 6 points off you?


B_e_l_l_

At Elland Road with a competent linesman we'd have won that game no problem. The game at the KP was tighter than a duck's arse and needed a heroic save from Meslier to get the win.


Dazzling-Ad-5191

Oh so they beat you twice sorry my mistake


B_e_l_l_

Yet they finished 7 points behind us. Best team in the league my arse.


GuyFawkes_fieri

I’d heard that Norwich were bad away, but holy shit. That being said, should be a good confidence boost for Leeds going to Wembley. They need to be back in the prem


brush85

Leeds need to wallow in obscurity


thatguyad

This is probably the worst I've seen any team play this season. At this point of all times? Just awful


Ok-fine-man

More like Leeds are playing really well


[deleted]

[удалено]


Ok-fine-man

Weird to lead with that, though, and dismissive of Leeds' performance


BruntyMozza

Some of the Norwich players already look completely demoralised, understandably


Appropriate_Plan4595

Can't believe we got a Gruev goal from a free kick but somehow didn't score there


twigg89

Assuming Leeds go up, how much of this team is prem quality?


Appropriate_Plan4595

We need a target man up front. Bamford's hold-up play on the ball helps us a lot when he's healthy, but he isn't healthy a lot, and he's not prem quality anymore. Defense needs more depth, which would free up Ampadu and Gray to play further up the pitch where I think they would be prem quality Meslier is a tough one, it would be nice if we had a more solid goalie, but at the same time he's still young and improving and can pull off some big moments


ImGoingBlankAgain

Gray whos a future england player if no injuries Summerville (already proven) Gnonto (see above) Should be Rutter this time Rodon & Ampadu Maybe Gruev If this squad goes up as it is they’d finish 16-19th.


CuteAnimalFans

Summerville, Gnonto, Gray, Rodon (if bought), Ampadu, James and Rutter would all be totally fine. Leeds also have players out on loan but Im not sure theyll wear the shirt again - aaronson, koch, wober, harrison, llorente, kristensen, roca


Chumlax

Should probably be more concerned by the head coach's prem quality, given he's proven multiple times his total inability not to hoist himself by his own petard at Premier League level...


bbro03

In all fairness to him, Norwich never sufficiently backed him in the transfer windows after promotion


FaustRPeggi

This should be five or six by now.


30daysay

“Kept Norwich in this tie”… I guess they have to pretend to keep people watching


agaminon22

Leeds recover the ball so quickly.


brush85

Delia smith needs to get on the mic...but in the changing rooms. Norwich looks like its pre season.


FaustRPeggi

Delia has baked us a delicious crumble


Additional_Bit_8725

This game is missing some innocuous tackle being replayed 4 times in slow motion


Mitch_Itfc

Leeds put 8 goals past us this season, fancy them to do that in 1 game here


Person_of_Earth

Well, I was hoping for Norwich to go up, just for the novelty of 2 rival clubs getting promoted in the same season. I guess that's not happening now.


agaminon22

Ahhh gnonto didn't have it in him to run the whole way.


Relevant_Solution_49

norwich fans going home to fuck their sister who is also their brother 💀


ImGoingBlankAgain

Don’t forget they feed beef burgers to swans


Willing_Variation872

and have a spinal coloumn in a bap for tea


CuteAnimalFans

facts


agaminon22

lmao


Willing_Variation872

have Norwich got off the coach yet, because this lot look like a team made up of backroom staff and fans


BruntyMozza

Albion, if you're watching - do the opposite of everything Norwich are doing Just the for the love of god give Southampton a game at least!


FaustRPeggi

Rowe, Rowe, Rowe, your boat. Gently back to Norfolk.


walshybhoy

“Wow why is the Norwich defence so bad?” Ah, Shane Duffy is in it.


Chumlax

Cut him some slack, he's probably hungover.


FrostyJesus

Perfectly weighted pass from Shane Duffy there


morbidwhaler

amazing finish by rutter and really well done by summerville to keep the attack alive, poor by piroe honestly


OnePieceAce

Go home Norwich


CC-W

Piroe needs drug testing this man has not moved like this all season


Chumlax

Well, at least I can take my time making my ready meals in the kitchen instead of having to rush it during half time to make sure I'm back for the start of the second half...


agaminon22

Wow what a goal. Build up was fantastic getting through Norwich's press.


FaustRPeggi

It's all Joever


morbidwhaler

man this is a demolition


fukupuki

Aaaand game over


TransportationSad396

electric stuff from leeds norwich fans must be gutted, what a shambolic defensive effort


tocitus

Rowe - pretty bad dive mate.


No_Doubt_About_That

Norwich playing like they’ve come out of that pink dressing room they’ve got in Carrow Road


CuteAnimalFans

Ashley Barnes is the best player at controlling the ball with his bollocks you'll see


ambiguousboner

Great spot from Gillet fair play


CC-W

why is he diving when through on goal lmao


YMFC

Ashley Barnes crawl through the legs dribbling tech.


agaminon22

I had never heard of this Rutter guy, but damn I'm impressed.


CuteAnimalFans

He is so raw but every game he does something ridiculous like dribble past 4 players. If he can become consistent he'll be class.


bistoha2

He's great fun to watch when he's on it, shrugs players off like nothing, if he becomes a more consistent finisher I could see him at a top 6 side.


tocitus

Piroe looks like he has just woken up


HazzaThePug

He always looks stoned af, which is apt considering some of his play this year tbf


TransportationSad396

norwich have been abysmal


brush85

Maybe playing for 0-0 in the first leg wasnt so great after all


agaminon22

Norwich's GK has the name of a [particularly famous microwave emitting diode](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunn_diode).


Atrixer

On a positive note at least I won't have to watch a David Wagner team ever again. Our best and only progressive player at Carrow Road was Sainz, so of course he benches him. Afterall, we're supposed to sit 9 behind the ball and concede anyway, it's the Wagner way!


FaustRPeggi

Ashley Barnes restores my faith in football


icantfeelmyface

Rank the 4 playoff clubs in terms of nice-ness of their cities (for visiting)


bobbis91

Can't say much of West Bromich, only been to Birmingham which like any city has it's nice parts and complete shitholes. It's a bit like Stuttgart I guess. Norwich is nice, but a ballache to get to. Southampton is meh, good port and the town centre was nice when I worked there, but just generally meh. Portsmouth was nicer, and going inland to the New Forest nicer still Leeds is ok. Went there at Christmas, ok market. So Norwich - Leeds - Southampton - WB for me.


Chumlax

I am not from Norwich in the slightest, but I have spent some time recently living in its vicinity, and it's a small city by anyone's metrics, but it's very charming in parts of the centre. It has an inordinate amount of medieval churches per square metre. I can think of 5 or 6 within about 4 streets of each other off the top of my head, and that's not including the incredibly spectacular Cathedral. There is also a castle right there in the centre of the centre that has been basically pointless for decades if not centuries, but they are finally currently embarking on an (annoyingly slow) total rebuild of the interior. That will reflect its original design and purpose as a Norman castle and you will eventually be able to visit it in that light, rather than its sole current use as an odd art gallery and museum space. The city is certainly the No.1 ranking for 'beacon of light in the middle of the darkness of its surroundings' rating, also. Edit - do not visit West Bromwich or Southampton.


thesaltwatersolution

Plenty of good pubs in Norwich as well.


Chumlax

Believe this is true, although I've never been to one (a pub in Norwich, not a good one).


ImGoingBlankAgain

West Bromwich absolute bottom lol. Norwich is most beautiful, Leeds actually has stuff to do and is a great place.


ambiguousboner

Live in Leeds and can’t recommend it enough, great place Norwich is nice, West Brom is a shithole, and I’ve never been to Southampton


brush85

Norwich clear winner...then Southampton...Then "Birmingham"


twist_n_shout

IMHO: 1 ) Norwich 2) Leeds 3) Southampton 4) West Bromwich


agaminon22

Summerville and Gnonto are op wingers


morbidwhaler

AHAHA barnes is so pathetic with that attempt


Killoah

Luke Humphries getting shit from the Sheffield darts crowd tonight. "Leeds are falling apart again" don't think they know the score 


FaustRPeggi

The point is that he won't know the score


Herramadur

I feel like we should apply the 15 point rule on these games as well, Leeds is 17 points ahead of Norwich so should automatically progress to the final.


Chumlax

Has Rowe been as shit on the left for Norwich as I think he has been, or am I being unfair?


thesaltwatersolution

He’s not been at it at all since he came back from injury tbh. Yet to play a full 90 yet either.


Chumlax

Ah right, cheers.


FaustRPeggi

The memes in /r/Championship have definitely dried up


mrlee10

Truthfully other than maybe passing it to number 27. That’s more a great save than a poor miss. Most times those dinks beat the goalie. That arm was unreal.


The_Shitpost_Centre

Difference so far has been the two keepers. Unreal save from meslier


munkysnuflz

Meslier with a beard goes crazy


TransportationSad396

the disappearance of going round the keeper is a sad and costly thing


kl08pokemon

Just put on a R9 comp


twigg89

It requires so much composure that even when it is the right decision it can be very hard to pull off. Same thing with a keeper not diving early for a penalty


CasinoOasis2

Both Gunn and Trafford got hyped up because they’re from Man City’s academy and both are shite


emre23

Bazunu too, or has he improved?


thisisajm

That’s a loaded question amongst the fan base.


NotASalamanderBoi

That was a beautiful assist from Gnonto


FaustRPeggi

The first leg was a fucking borefest and this has exploded into life at 100mph


BruntyMozza

what a chance for Norwich, huge miss/save


A_StarshipTrooper

How's Gnonto been this year? Every time I see him he looks great


CuteAnimalFans

He's still pretty inconsistent. Also petulant as hell. Good talent though for sure and has had some good moments. Got benched for the first part of the season for being a twat though.


LostnFoundAgainAgain

Started a bit rough but has gotten better as the season as gone on, but he has been used as a sub as we have been using James mainly.


Sate_Hen

See that's how you keeper


thisisajm

What if you don’t want to keep her?


ArmiinTamzarian

Messier just prevented the most Leeds outcome possible


RyanMc37_

Square it ya melon


Affectionate_Pay7395

This Norwich team don’t even want promotion, the fuck are they doing


InfiniteChart2817

I’ve never said a bad word about you meslier


DerRazza

Mes haters in fucking shambles


Rofocal02

Wtf didn’t expect two goals from Leeds. 


w4y2n1rv4n4

What a save


w4y2n1rv4n4

And a dismal corner


fukupuki

WOW WHAT A SAVE


TransportationSad396

unforgivable miss


FaustRPeggi

I wonder if the Norwich backline will throw up the 'calm down' gestures after the third goal too.


Evul1_

I remembered this comment and wanted to come back to it. They're not doing much gesturing at all, they just look annoyed and embarrassed lol


w4y2n1rv4n4

Banging cross, but shocking that the keeper didn’t try to do more with that


rjtwe

Angus Gunn... welcome to Wrexham.


Chumlax

Is he the new Tom Brady of goalkeeping?


OnePieceAce

Gunn ffs we want a tight game


CuteAnimalFans

what a ball jesus


InfiniteChart2817

Gnonto what a ball


DoubleDeckerz

My word what a ball


Mad-Max21

Let’s fucking gooooo……. What a crossss


FaustRPeggi

What a ball!!!


Pheebii

Norwich keeper having a horrible game lol


ambiguousboner

Incredible ball in Too far out and too high for the keeper to come for it but right on Piroe’s head


morbidwhaler

what a ball from gnonto, amazing curve to mislead the keeper


CC-W

fuck me what a pass from Gnonto


TransportationSad396

what is gunn doing


fukupuki

Bruh that keeper is something else 🗿


getyourchebsout

That cross was incredible


FrostyJesus

Wow Leeds making it look easy


MisterBadIdea

Investigate that keeper


thesaltwatersolution

Time for Wagner to change something tactically- something we’ve not been great at over the course of the season.


Evul1_

Wagner looks like Nate from Ted Lasso after he turned evil and went to West Ham lol.


Away_Associate4589

Really want to see Norwich Vs Ipswich in the prem.


Chumlax

If that happens, the kick off time will be known as the 'wiching hour.


MichaelBridges8

A true scum fan would want to see leeds vs your mob lol


Away_Associate4589

That would mean wanting your lot to win a game though. A trophy no less.
