[Albion] Deluded Leeds (an EFL club) fans

[JBizzle]

Of the three teams likely to go up automatically, I want Sheffield Utd the most by far. Then Leeds, then Burnley. I'd be a bit disappointed if Sheffield United missed out, whereas there are lols to be had otherwise.

Then Coventry via the play offs, or perhaps Sunderland - an away trip to either would be decent.

I want Sheffield United to get promoted for a very different reason. I have a friend who's a Sheffield United fan, who's from Sheffield but lives in Brighton but absolutely hates Brighton. Something he makes clear at every opportunity.

Therefore, watching them get promotion and then get HUMPED every week until their inevitable relegation is something I'd dearly enjoy.

I sadly have a Leeds fan who works for me and he spent half an hour last week explaining (with an absolutely straight face) that Rutter will hand in a transfer request as soon as Leeds’ promotion is confirmed. He also is under the impression that (and I quote) ‘the worry for the Premier league elite now is that we (Leeds) know what to expect. So this time I can see us in the top 4 - our experience now will tell and we’ll be pushing for champions league. Biggest attraction in Europe ‘.

He’s only one I know. But Christ on a seesaw that’s delusional.

Why does he hate Brighton?

Sheff Utd.
Leeds (because I want them to fail badly).

Bristol City or Coventry.

It does feel the gulf between the divisions is growing year on year.

Actually, I take it back, I want them to fail again…..for the reason that they have so many fans like this.

Goodness. Hopefully this will be of some assistance.

Lampard is showing again he's actually a decent manager.

He gets shit, but I think he's done fairly well most places, if not everywhere he's been

Why does he hate Brighton?

Because we've progressively improved over the last 15 years and gained new fans. He doesn't like new fans and firmly believes that any fans that support us in the Amex era are only there because of the PL.

"You only have 3,000 fans in the early 2000's" etc

 

[GT49er]

I still remember a radio phone in thing I listened to when Ben White got them promoted to the prem a few years back. They had Leeds fans, & ex players predicting how they would do. EVERY SINGLE ONE of them said something along the lines of “comfortably stay up first season, and then be in the top 6 from there on”. They all basically predicted European football & challenging for trophies after a couple of seasons back in the Prem. Not even the slightest glimmer of being humble amongst them. It was as if the last 20 years had not happened.

Slightly amended for you, and just to rub it in! Was there a reason they let him go? - I can't seem to remember now; shocking management though!

He won't, because he's too classy, but by Christ if he scores at Elland Road next season and runs away kissing the badge and giving it large to the home fans I will build his statue myself.

Average The Leeds United home crowd in 2003 (Premier League): 39,146

Average The Leeds United home crowd in 2007 (Championship): 21,613

Guess all our supporters must have been hiding in the same place as those missing 17,000 or so The Leeds United fans.

 

[Happy Exile]

I very much enjoyed Crawley beating Leeds on TV a few years ago in the FA Cup. Now that’d feel like a game similar to Palace v Chelsea where it’s borderline impossible for me to choose which one I’d most like to be beaten in the most humiliating fashion possible. Amazing what a difference a few years, clogger players, and grim fans celebrating a serious injury can make.

Maybe point out that in 2000 they had an average attendance of only 13,218. And they had lows under 9000 and had a lovely stadium of their own, in a prime spot (unlike our athletic track). And that considering they are part of the third world, there's nothing else worthwhile doing up there except racing pigeons and whippets.

The chap he was referring to was Sheffield not Leeds.

TBH he sounds a right twat.
Are you his friend out of sympathy?

 

[WhingForPresident]

Just look at any of Georginio's social media post replies to see how deluded they are. 'Come back when we're in the PL, will finish ahead of Brighton, bigger club, Yorkshur' etc.

Twats.

Ah, I see. And the smaller of the two massive Sheffield clubs too.

But at least they've beaten The Massive today, which will cheer him up and distract him from worrying about Albion attendances until they're about to get relegated from the Premier League next season.

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

Hoping Leeeds get promoted because that means a guaranteed six points next season.

 

[brighton_tom]

Leeds are a big’ish club. But not near to the levels their fan base think. So many clubs have overtaken them in the last 25 years, by quite a distance. The football landscape has dramatically changed while they’ve been in the Championship & League One.

Well they were half right, to be fair. They surprised us all and did stay up comfortably in the first season; they couldn't have been more wrong for the subsequent seasons though.
