They were absolutely braying at Grealish for diving when that was just about the worst challenge I saw in the league all season. Their (and half the league's) fans obsession with him was crazy. Proper jealousy about not having a player as good as him, though it was amusing watching them trying to convince themselves that 46 year old Pablo Hernandez was better. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 I know football is tribal, but Leeds fans seem to go overboard with it. Zero cognitive dissonance. Same guy on McGinn: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoony Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 I don’t really care much enough about other teams to actually hate them (including SHA and WBA - not a brummie so hard to care) but honestly I’d like Leeds to be liquidated and for Elland Road to burn to the ground (obviously empty; I’m not a monster) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avfc1982am Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 F*** em. Cheating bastards. From their own dirty challenges to the player who gave the handball away pretending he'd been shot in the face, they're embarrassing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Ingram85 Posted July 18, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 18, 2022 (edited) Who gives a single **** what Leeds fans think? Twitter, Leeds sites or on here. Just **** off. Moan, moan, moan, “we are everyone’s 2nd team”, whinge, whinge, whinge, wah, wah, wah!!!!! Can dish it out alright but can’t take it back. Tin pot club, tin pot fans. Hope they go down this season along with Boring Burnley and go back to being irrelevant again for the best part of 2 decades so I never have to hear about or from them again.

That was an awful tackle I actually think Leeds took it more personally than us. I had no issue at all but was in a pub in Berlin 3 weeks after for Villa/WBA and Leeds/Derby and all I got was abuse that Grealish was a nothing diver that was no Pablo Hernandez and they were looking forward to destroy us in the playoff final Leeds needed find a rival since United couldnt care about them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Both sides play victims, sit here saying the other sets of fans are obsessed while also relentlessly bringing the same things up. I don't think there's much playing the victim from us to be honest (I'm obviously biased though). Leeds had a massive chip on their shoulder being in the Championship under Bielsa and thought they were the absolute dogs bollocks. Divine right to get promoted, best side in the league. Hernandez the best player in the league by a mile. Bamford the best striker. And then loads of needle got added with poor sportsmanship - the spygate incident with Derby, Roberts feigning to put the ball out of play against us then Leeds going on to score. Bamford feigning being elbowed in the aftermath (and subsequently doubling down that he got caught, the absolute clearing in the woods ). You also had Leeds fans constantly abusing Tyrone Mings and Jack Grealish - the latter mostly targeted due to diving; particularly hypocritical given that Bamford and Ayling are in their ranks and both were diving all season long. Now the hypocrisy is shown again r.e: the young player who got injured, after he could have injured Buendia. Personally, I wouldn't really call it a rivalry. Just the majority of Leeds fans are awful and so people want to see the club get relegated. I'm in that camp too Edited July 19, 2022 by bobzy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Leeds moaning about a tackle is just mindboggling. They have always been a filthy side, for as long as ive been watching football and I wasnt around in the 70s and 80s. Go look at the red cards they got in the run in last season.

We had 3/4 chances that worked your keeper In my opinion taking into consideration we’re not trying to be a possession team anymore we want to press you to give it away which worked 3/4 times. You might have had more ball but there wasn’t anything between the teams really. With regards to the supposed rivalry. Villa were always a meh team to me growing up big club well supported had no particular feeling one way or another with them. They were just there. Still are really. I don’t think many fans particularly care about villa either other than the midlands teams obviously we are different the whole country seems to have a problem with us. we all hate Leeds scum is sang everywhere and yes that’s at old Trafford as well for those who say it’s a one sided rivalry. I think it’s pretty much us both basically being big clubs well supported on the same trajectory for the last few years meaning we’re comparing ourselves off against each other. As for the tackle I’m not mad about yes, McGinn is a bit of prick wanting to leave one on him but it doesn’t bother me, I prefer feisty games with a bit of edge. but at the same time that’s why I didn’t like grealish or the whinging of him and dean smith and yes villa fans doing the exact same going mad over tackles on grealish that you’re taking the piss out of Leeds fans for now.
