Utter nonsense you just have to have a read of some posts on here to realise theres as equal an amount. Every club has a fair share of deluded blinkered and totally biased fans that can't see any bad within their team or club even if its plain to see

Leeds fans are one of the worst at it, Liverpool too
The only legitimate way to tell would be to conduct a survey of both sets of supporters with a large enough sample size to have a valid standard deviation, and have some applicable metric
 
I think it goes deeper than delusion mate. This lad in question is a sound lad, known him since college. (Why he came to Bede College from Newcastle is beyond me). He's just got his history degree and wants to teach. Its just when we talk about footy this magic deluded superiority complex veil comes over and he starts spouting all kinds of shite. Apparently were certs for struggling cos we havent spent 60million like they did.

He reckons:
-Yedlin/Richie combo is gonna rip the Prem up
-Laselles and mbemba gonna be a rock CB partnership
-Shelvey needs a helper then they gonna have a mint CM
-Gayle and Mitovitch gonna score boat loads.
-Perez now he has ref protection is gonna kick on

I did try and point out that Mitroshit and mbemba didnt play much last season. Apparently cos they're too good for the Championship and they didnt want the championship to bring them down.

Sounds like football isn't his strong point

Im sorry like but thats shite. You CAN NOT gauge fans delusion off message boards. You need to measure real life events and conversations. Which your club has certainly shown that it has its fair share of numpties.

Not saying Leeds or Liverpool dont have them too. But with them at least you can maybe understand a little of their delusions of grandeur taking in their recent history.

I don't think it is either. He goes on like he's the oracle. I'm even contemplating leaving our football whatsapp thread because of him, but don't want to give him the pleasure.

What is this recent leeds history? 13 years outside the top flight, will be 14 by the end of the season.
 
Judging on the mags I've known personally through work or mates I'd say they are an extreme bunch. A few are quite balanced and reasonable but then the majority genuinely believe that because they get big attendances that they are a massive club who "deserve" to be top 6 at the least.

Look mate. I have not come across any deluded Leeds fans. Sorry. I tried to argue why you think sets of those clubs are deluded. I am not going to try and debate why you think Leeds fans are worse than youse. They are clearly not. Stop trying to justify the loons at your own club.

I can't justify them. They are ridiculous. Spoiled by the flirtations we had with success between 92 and 05. I genuinely think some of them are mentally ill, and watch no football other than Newcastle. They lack any perspective. Social media has only exacerbated the problem.

Dogshit club, more recently in League One than the PL and their broke arsed local rivals managed to make it into the PL before they got back into it

They'll be in the championship forever, unless they go bust again. I hope that they do

At least your man enough to type that.

Leeds have had 13 years without being in the top flight and counting. What's our worst spell? 7 years?

There's plenty of level headed good lads, plenty of pessimistic ones who would find something to moan about even if we won the league and then the champions league.
But the divvies on twitter and Facebook, honestly, it's horrendous. The type that come out wth nonsense like well why not have a cheeky bid for Ronaldo, he's worked with Rafa before. You end up thinking just keep quiet man. This is The Chronicle's target audience. The type who lap up every single transfer rumour.
 
Their first game of the season tonight. Bet their fans are looking forward to seeing how the new lads get on.

@paulfraserecho: #NUFC team to face Hearts: Elliot, Clark, Lascelles, Mbemba, Haidara, Aarons, Shelvey, Diame, Atsu, De Jong, Gayle.

Haway now they signed Atsu, at least they made him permanent from a loan anyway :)

The PL teams are shitting themselves.

From the Chronicle, after a friendly .........

“Dwight Gayle will be worth watching this season!”

“Gayle scores when he wants!”

“Gayle is the real deal. 15 Premier League goals incoming.”
