In an ideal world...

Completely agree it doesn't cushion the blow at all if we achieve nothing.

I would like to second that as well. Never understood this mentality of taking compensatory satisfaction from the failings of rival clubs.

Whisper it, but part of our hatred of Leeds is because they're a bigger and more successful club who are closely geographically tied to us. We envy them, but that feeling isn't reciprocated.

Not if you're a certain age.

It stems (and I'm talking a nationwide hatred here, not just us) from the late sixties and early seventies when both team and support were the biggest set of scumbags to walk the earth (the supporters have changed very little in the intervening 35 years).

As a team, they cheated, bribed and generally mis-behaved in a way no team has done before or since. They had not one single redeeming feature (well OK, they had Jonesy) and were despised by the nation. We are closer to them and so get to see the media bias that they attract in this area as well, but we are not alone.

If I knew where they were buried, I would happily dance on the graves of Revie, Bremner and Cocker.

we'd be coasting the league serenading the championship with Mexican waves.

But seeing as though promotion looks unlikely at best, which of the following

would add a tinge of gloss to a drab and forgettable season:

• Wednesday relegated
  
• West Ham relegated
  
• Leeds throw it away for another season in League One

What is your order of preference?

1. Blades to win at S6 to send Wendy down
2. Leeds to lose on penalties in the PO semi (don't want to see Look Leeds on the wembley trail)
3. Tevez scores a last minute winner that TV later shows to be blatently offside to send WHU down on goal difference..........by one goal.

I work near Leeds with a bunch of Leeds fans and they really aren't bothered about us, just as I'm not (or "I aren't"??? as the locals say!) about them. They don't look out for our results or take pleasure in us getting beat like a lot of our fans seem to about them.

Anyone that lived through them "stealing" Mick Jones, TC and to a degree Sabella will always have a healthy dislike for Leeds.
Still we did get our own back by taking Killgallon and Rob Hulse, who remain two of our best, most talented players..oh.

I also think there's a strong chance that Cardiff will go into administration, leaving us in pole position for the final play-off spot. Blades up, Wednesday down, Hammers extinct. This could still turn out to be the perfect season!

No Way!!
Cardiff belong to a poor, impoverished, downtrodden, province and will be saved by government intervention.
It is only right that Cardiff should delay paying their creditors so that they can hold onto their key assets, thus preserving their premiership aspirations.
The Welsh capital needs a Premier League team, the British government knows this and the PL would benefit from increased exposure to the cymru market and the revenue generated from local welsh supporters and all other the sheep-chasers that long since emigrated.

It's my Dad's dream to one day spit on that statue of Billy Bremner.
