Popular Post The_Steve Posted July 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 27, 2020 Their unsporting conduct aside, and the media love in, I honestly have no problem with Leeds, and it’s good to see that famous old club back in the big league. I think part of the problem is social media, fans and teams trying to create artificial rivalries for the sake of ‘banter’. Same with Lee Johnson‘s irrational hatred of Villa, it bled into their content, and created that bunker mentality. Still haven’t forgotten how tinpot it was when they were celebrating selling Joe Bryan to Fulham on Twitter. I am sure most fans are above it and Twitter is largely just white noise but it’s just lame. We have our rivalries and so do Leeds. Banter is fine when apropos but a lot of it is just fishing for clout and it’s just cringe. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 I have been in bars with Leeds fans who were happy to cheer against Villa this season and we are not even in the same league. Most recent time was the United game a few weeks back they were cheering United Then you tell them your a Villa fan and bang a 20 minute rant about diving overrated Grealish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope they break Derby’s points record and go back down where they’ve spent most of their history. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both of us would have finished in the top 6 regardless who would have won that game. The game had little significance. Leeds fans seem to give a shit. There were a few on this board last season lecturing us about how to play football and how to run their club. Funnily enough they all went quiet after the playoffs. Funny that.

DCJonah Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 I never had an issue with Leeds but their fans were unbearable down there. That game just cemented them as words removed. They still go on about how they let us have a goal back but funnily enough never ever talk about Bamford. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 I've seen plenty of disgusting abuse from their fans towards Villa and particularly Grealish over the last year or so. Reflects bad on the club, apart from that ever really had any opinion abou them I just don't care. And they aren't rivals WTF is that about?!

WakefieldVillan Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Living in Yorkshire and having a lot of Leeds fans on my social media, yesterday was beautiful and I was extremely childish in tagging each and every one of them on my Villa related posts Not sure if they just don't like me or whether they hate our club or probably a mixture of both ha, but the ones I know were gutted we stayed up and now using the "well it's an easy 6 points line" Ridiculously, most of it is coming from that "walk-in goal" - GET OVER IT!

GingerCollins29 Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 I absolutely **** hate them. Not as much as blues or tesco but def more than any other side Dirty, racist thugs who are ansoljtely unbearable. They think their massive when they've won six trophies. Tinpot morons. The newcastle of yorkshire. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwi1890 Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 My brother in law was smug as hell last season, I asked him “how are leeds doing” his answer “bette than villa” how I made him eat those words come end of the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Was going to put this in Delph thread but it's probably better here. They're in for a shock when it comes to Premier League refs and VAR with their high pressing/fouling game. They'll get plenty of early bookings and be unable to make challenges for the rest of the game. You have to be sneaky words removed in this league, we only learned late on. Douglas the wizard of the high up the pitch tactical foul. I will also sadly add I think Bielsa is fantastic and there's no chance they're going down while he's there.

Phillips got 9 yellows in the championship and a red at QPR so he'll be a concern. Mind you McGinn gor 14 yellows but calmed things down once in the prem.

colhint Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 (edited) I know nothing about their squad, other than Phillips and the diving idiot. Are they any good or is it good players on loan? Are they rich? Edited July 31, 2020 by colhint forgot last point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they any good or is it good players on loan? Are they rich? Think their FBs will do alright, Luke Ayling certainly and on other side Allioski has lots of energy and can chip in with goals. Klich in central midfield alongside Phillips is decent aswell. It's a bit like us last season. They have a core but they need a good keeper, CB and striker. Probably another wide player aswell as Helder Costa wasn't really that key for Wolves once they were promoted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope so. Good player with questionable levels of professionalism. Bielsa being the madman he is signed him then just decided he didn't like him. Spent their crucial run in tweeting from a yacht somewhere. Edited August 1, 2020 by Tomaszk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
