Brighton or Leeds - gobby fan at work

[Dawn Korus]

There is a Leeds fan at work who I've had various discussions this week, he says he would rather be a Leeds fan than Brighton at this point in time because:

- they have more history than us
- they're a bigger club than us
- they're ground is massive and ours is a concrete shit hole
- we are a small town club with no fans

As I've pointed out, we have bigger home average attendances, elland rd is a dump and their history didn't get them any points this season.

Anyone else have to deal with blinkered, deluded idiots like this?

 

[Dave the OAP]

I have three Leeds fans just like this at work.

Being from Huddersfield, we have a lot of banter anyway, but they are deluded

 

[algie]

They are bigger than us

 

[Dawn Korus]

They are bigger than us

I don't dispute that, but where has it got them?

Just tell him that Leeds played like relegation candidates this afternoon and couldn't match our super silky footballing style. Brighton winning 2-1 at Elland Road for the 2nd season in succession

They are bigger than us

So are Glasgow Rangers and they want to be in the Conference!

He is a cock who appears to have size issues. Ignore the little Penis

Dunno but there trophy cabinet is pretty impressive.

Is this him?

 

[Mr Bridger]

Their fans have shit teeth I noticed today....

Yes. We are not a big club, but the enlightened among us know that football isn't about supporting a big club. If it is to him, he'd be better off supporting Man U (that'll piss him off).

Changing of the guard.

History is great, but, well, we'll have a club museum for that soon

 

[genre b. good]

Leeds fan would rather be a Leeds fan, Brighton fan would rather be a Brighton one. What do you expect?

 

[El Turi]

Who cares about history. Leeds are a club on the decline and we are on the up. We have a better team, a better stadium, bigger crowds and a better manager. I know who I'd rather support.

 

[Lovecake]

Sounds like a pretty schoolboy argument to me. He's never going to admit that he'd rather be a fan of a rival team whatever the circumstances is he!
His reasons are ridiculous but are exactly what you'd expect from any rival club fans, especially ones who are probably quite envious of our new-found 'glory'. I'd have been more surprised if he'd openly admitted he's prefer to support Brighton because we've for a better team, in a better position, with better prospects, from a better place with a nicer stadium!

 

[Soulman]

I shall have great pleasure in collecting my fiver from a Leeds fan at work.

 

[trueblue]

Huddersfield were a bigger club than Arsenal once. Things change. With the way football is now, we'll probably never have the chance to match Leeds' trophy cabinet but it's pretty obvious at the moment which club is on the up and which appears to be in steady decline.

 

[Leighgull]

Just tell him to look at the table and **** off.

 

[Premiership Dream]

They are bigger than us

they were bigger than us.....

That first point is wrong. We were formed in 1901, they were formed in 1919, consequently we have more 'history' than them. Point out that 'history' isn't about winning trophies (where admittedly they have the edge), our history and events such as Hereford mean as much to us as winning the FA Cup in 1972 meant to them.
