Second worst-case scenario for us but probably the most deserved match-up given the gap between 4th and 5th.
I'm still not sure who I want to win this one ....
Reasons for Soton ....
- Martin has shown one style of play and one only and Kompany has proven this year that you'll get taken apart if you try to play keep ball in the prem
- Two wins against Soton so cleary half-decent matchup vs their style
- Leeds have a much better squad
- Two of our 6 losses vs Leeds so clearly a bad match up vs their style
- Always funny when Leeds bottle it
Reasons for Leeds ...
- Farke has a terrible record in the Prem
- Soton much more likely to be competing with us on transfers
- A few Soton players who might be of interest but will likely stay if they go up (Harwood Bellis, Armstrong, Downes)
- Will be funny to see what excuses Martin comes up with

Not a popular choice, but Leeds. |  | | |

Not too bothered. Probably Southampton if pushed. |  |

Mass brawl and both clubs eliminated. Then West Brom to get promoted by default because they scored a goal in their playoffs. |  |

Dirty Leeds finished third so deleting all other aspects, they deserve it.
Mind you, if they lose I’ll laugh. |  | | |

Can't say I'm fussed to be honest. Probably Saints going up on balance for the reasons you mention, I think they're bottom 4 material whereas Leeds could potentially kick on a bit further. [Post edited 20 May 2024 15:04]

Southampton.
With Leeds supporters acting like they'd won the league already during the season, it'd be far funnier to see them fall apart again. And they'd be a bigger threat in the Prem. |  |

Southampton as I think it would be more amusing to me to see Leeds have to sell their players and put up with a longer stint in the Championship.
I know all fanbases can be annoying, but Leeds I find particularly annoying for some reason. |  |

Leeds so we can nick Harwood-Bellis off the Saints. |  | | |

Southampton, without Martin... |  |

Southampton.
I just don't have much time for Leeds fans generally, especially after their arrogance this last season, and I would like them to not fulfil their sense of self entitlement and to have to cope without parachute money. |  | | |

Leeds so that we can go in for some Southampton players and Russel Martin. Other than that, I can see some positives in Southampton going up. It doesn't make much difference anyway, because we will take care of business either way. | | | |

I live and work in Leeds.
So Southampton.
(With Martin then being poached by Brighton on his never ending falling upwards career trajectory) |  | | |

Who do I want to go up and who do I think will go up. Leeds I think are the better team even though saints beat them twice in the league. |  |

You've summarised it very nicely. Leeds have a few of their better players returning from loan in the summer, which bolsters their squad further. It appears Sinisterra will be bought by Bournemouth for £20M once his loan expires, but five in particular will return to improve the squad and then their revenue is naturally higher than ours.
Farke carries himself much better generally than Martin, but he also claimed unequivocally that his side should have finished in the top two, only denied by refereeing mishaps. One point I'd add to the Southampton pro column is we would be more competitive with them financially next season, as well as on the pitch this season. I see your point about this potentially impacting transfers, but I'd rather more clubs shopping at our level than at a level slightly above. So Southampton for me, once it's all totted up. | | | |

My dream scenario is that Leeds score in the 85th minute, only for Southampton to equalize in the last minute of injury time.
Leeds then go ahead in extra time only for Southampton to score twice in the last few minutes of the match, ideally with Leeds losing to a calamatous own goal scored by Dan James.
Don't care about who we play next season - just want to see Leeds fans think they have got there, twice, only to see it snatched away. |  | | |

Would the final wining goal have an element of controversial VAR decision to it, to further upset them? |  |

Leeds seem to have cheating and dirty play running through their DNA.
For me anybody but Leeds ( except of course that outfit up the road)
I wanted Leeds to stuff them and the get taken apart at Wembley. Half way there. | | | |

I've pondered this, and I think no, as I do not want to the give them a convenient excuse that they can cling to such as a dodgy VAR etc.
It has to be unambiguously soul destroying to reduce even the most hardened fans to tears . . . live on TV. | | | |

So the final seconds goal has to be a Southampton shot that rebounds off the post and looks to have struck a Leeds defender's arm but actually hits Messlier, who is standing next to him, on the shoulder. Nevertheless as the Southampton attackers appeal for a penalty the Leeds players are so intent on protesting their innocence that no one notices the ball coming back down and limply rolling over the line off Dan James right buttock. Cue the majority of the post match analysis dissecting the calamitous chain of events and Don Goodman rendered speechless when asked for his comments. |  |
