Honestly can’t recall in all my years of watching football (38) a more contemptuous set of fans as Leeds have. And their spew is not just reserved for us either - the entitlement is there with every other team too.
It’s why (despite the PR campaign orchestrated frequently by Sky pundits) they will never be liked, respected or loved.

This one had me scratching my head.

She obviously hasn't seen Potter in his interviews.

And why is this completely imaginary scenario "the worst part"? ???

Generally complimentary about us...and IW not giving Leeds the get out of a bad day..but saying it was because of how well we played...only down side was the nutter who did the match commentary who kept on referring to Leeds sustained pressure :facepalm:

That was a joke. I think it was the comment just after Welbeck has scored, something about us being very relieved by surviving relentless Leeds pressure or similar BS. They didn’t have a clear chance to score all match FFS, just a few half chances. What planet was that commentator from???

It’s been quite funny this season watching the media trying to push this Leeds love and them being everyone’s second favourite team thing etc, when fans of ALL other clubs are quite clear on their strong dislike for them still!

Perhaps she’s missed it but Potter has tactically outsmarted Bielsa. Twice.

Indeed, on both occasions Bielsa has looked if anything totally bereft of ideas against us. His CV is not that outstanding for a Head Coach of his,experience. His trophy haul, such as it is, is put in the shade by so many managers just in this country. I give him one more season after this

Leeds Live: Leeds United have had the last laugh despite Ben White pain of last summer.
https://www.leeds-live.co.uk/sport/leeds-united/leeds-united-ben-white-pain-20507108

Pfft! Really?

I know they’ve had a strong season and will finish above us. That could be said to be the “last laugh”. However, the article’s core premise seems to be that they found a stronger central defensive option after having failed to secure White, as demonstrated by this pile of pants...

“If it were not for the Brighton chief executive’s resolve in resisting Andrea Radrizzani’s money, United may never have come to establish one of the most powerful centre-back departments in the league.”

Most powerful in the league? This from a club that has shipped 13 more goals than us. The Leeds goal is hardly bloody Fort Knox.

Good to see the delusion even extends to their local press.

I struggle to understand why he’s so lauded. He has a plan A which can work well, but doesn’t seem to have any plan b when it doesn’t. What’s so “tactical genius” about that? A lack of alternatives is surely the exact opposite?

OMG, I found a decent one
"Brighton have a hold over us this season.
They have grafted incredibly hard over both games and stopped us from playing our normal game.
Yes, we’ve been poor but most of it is down to them.
The hardest team to beat we’ve faced all season.
I realise this won’t be popular but it’s true".

A Leeds fan has just told me that we didn’t dominate yesterday and quoted shot stats and possession numbers. Ignores the point their shots were from miles out whereas we created loads of great chances. Most of their passing was messing about in defence.

I reckon we have equally dominated a further 8-10 games and not won any of them and lost about half. We could so easily have another 15-20 points. It is remarkable really.

Two year ban incoming for that Leeds Fan. Failing to follow the cult of Leeds to the letter is a serious offence, they don’t like a reasoned argument in that part of Yorkshire.

The fact we started with, what was essentially 5 cbs, in defence, and yet Dirty Leeds just kept crossing high balls into the box, tells you all you need to know. The way most teams who do well against us is let us have the ball, pack their box, and snatch a goal on the break. The teams we have done well against are the teams who try to out play us.
You’d think a ‘tactical genius’ would have seen that.

He was incredibly wrong if he quoted shot stats to back up supposed dominance:
