Leeds jealousy


Don't usually get involved in the tit for tat, stereotyping a fanbase thing but I think Leeds have a generation of fans who grew up being fed stories of how big they once were while they spent 16 years as a bang average Championship / League One side, they crave that validation from others and can't see people talking positively about others ('Leeds would have taken more' etc). When we were both in the Championship they seemed to get very offended if people said we were a bigger club. Now it seems to kill them that we've had a better season and people are taking about us over them.

Remember those spenks who came on here before we played them at home with the patronising 'we were just wondering how you've managed to do so well, we've come to the conclusion it's probably Farke holding us back and we'll still finish above you but well done anyway' shit. We were 8 points ahead of them at the time and finished 7 points ahead

I just think it’s reflective of people from Leeds. Quite a large proportion of them seem to have an inflated idea of themselves and the city. Not a clue why.

They've done amazingly considering how poor their recruitment was. The DCL gamble was huge, take him out of that side and they'd probably have been in the relegation scrap.

Shame they missed out on Sadiki - big dogs eat first

Tbf they were in the relegation shake up of sorts....they have done well imo....i didnt think Farke would make that step up but i think he deserves a lot of credit cos he changed things mid season and it worked

It’s worked out delightfully for this board going into the summer tbh. The humourless, strangely arrogant Leeds fans didn’t half make the place untidy with their constant drivel about club size, supporters groups etc.

Thankfully, they all seem to have f***ed off back to Flamingo Land and gone into hiding. I’d like to think they can strike up some kind of rivalry with Coventry next season and annoy their supporters on their forum instead.

Having worked down there i think its because they are ( far and away ) the biggest club in Yorkshire which also is the largest county in England. That and the fact they had one of the greatest sides in history under Revie ( who we beat btw ) and their Title win under Wilkinson.
They have that entitled thing that other successful clubs have ( and less successful ones have too eg the Mags )

The population of Leeds is greater than Sunderland and Newcastle combined and they're very isolated - the nearest clubs of any note are 30+ miles away.
