EFL Championship 19/20 - Bielsa Strikes back

Wigan 7-0 up vs Hull at halftime.

They're in strong form but the pending 12 point deduction is gonna hurt them a lot.

30 - Leeds' fourth goal against Stoke - scored by Pablo Hernández - finished a move of 30 consecutive passes; the most in the build-up to a goal scored in the Championship this season. Loco. pic.twitter.com/4vem4DQYXS

#Leeds finest sequence today.
Showcasing their defending, pressing, and playing out under very heavy pressure.
Quite a few Bielsa orchestrated patterns on display.#LUFC pic.twitter.com/iParleuaIu

#Leeds Costa's goal.
Movements, combinations, orchestrated patterns & timed run.
Hernandez bounce pass was a deadly piece of mis-direction.#lufcscfc #PlayTheWayYouFace pic.twitter.com/kedEsWzGjs

Bielsa better seal the promotion

Their 2 home games are against relegated Barnsley and Charlton so it should be more or less done

LEEDS PROMOTED

GET INNN

Seems i spoke too soon

Still 1 point away or the other top 3 losing a point ain't too bad a place to be in

WBA lost to Huddersfield which means Leeds are promoted.

Brentford can move into the automatic spots with a win.

Leeds back in the PL is massive ffs

Happy about it. They were one of the most recognizable names in PL. And Bielsa in PL will be banter. Can't wait for Mou vs Bielsa.

Watching those Leeds plays and thinking about how effective that could be with players like Lo Celso, Kane, Son, and Moussa Sissoko

Congrats to Leeds and I can't wait to see El Loco back in the EPL again

Roses derby next season.

Whats the history between Mou and Bielsa? I only know Bielsa supposedly having affected many managers who learnt stuff from him but not Mou?

Welcome back Leeds, last i heard of this club was when Ian Harte was playing ... what a player he was!
and Well done to Bielsa, i guess ditching Lazio 3 days after just signing hopefully was a worthwhile for him - Wish Leeds a great success this team had too much of a tragedy.

Time to take a stroll on Loco Lane

Mou had no beef with Bielsa, their careers haven't really crossed paths yet

Final day of the Championship delivering as usual.

West Brom are up after Brentford lost and Fulham drew.

Swansea take the final play off place after a six goal swing between them and Forest. Forest lost 4-1 at home to Stoke in a classic bottle job.

Play offs will be Brentford, Cardiff, Fulham and Swansea.

Barnsley stay up thanks to their late winner at Brentford.

Wigan are down after drawing 1-1 with Fulham because of their pending 12 point deduction.

Hull are down to League 1.

Want Swansea to win the playoffs after that insane finish lol.

Hope brentford gets promoted. Welsh clubs have no business being in the PL but Swansea would be better than Fulham

seems like Brentford are cucking it up a bit heading into the stretch now hey, boo for them.

I go with Fulham. The more London derbies the merrier.

Brentford are a London club.

Would be a brand new derby to look forward to.

Really interesting club, too. They have no academy and sign players on stats.

Their owner is a pro gambler as well I believe.

Love him already

Also need Benrahma in the PL

Absolute crazy scenes here. Bilic had sent Bartley forward as an emergency striker, then news filtered through of Barnsley's goal and the entire bench and half the Albion team started leaping around to get him back! #WBA

Didn't know Bilic is managing West Brom. They are welcome in the PL imo

Bielsa resigns.

Unfortunate but understandable given the results. A wild adventure from start to finish.

Yeah it was good while it lasted.
