Leeds is actually a lovely city, I spend quite a bit of time there.

This.

I quite like Leeds as a city…..

The football club and its fans………..

I wonder if their fans kicked up a fuss in season 2007/8 with the Red Kite logo.

I wonder if their fans kicked up a fuss in season 2007/8 with the Red Kite logo.

The guardian article suggests that objections to the colour red may be a recent development. I'm not so sure though. I remember being petty back when I was first married almost 30 years ago, my wife bought me a top with a eagle design on it, not Lyle and Scott, and the look on her face when I explained I could never wear it. Football fans have always been delightfully petty.

Refusing a gift of clothing because it has an eagle on it is perfectly acceptable and not in the least bit petty.

Keep up the good work.

Being sponsored by Red Bull, wtf did they expect?! The clue is literally in the name.

I'm sure they'll be quiet enough about any money Red Bull give them.

If I were in charge of these things at Red Bull, I'd pay them with £50 notes just to wind them up.

"Du vill vear dee red Red Bull symbol und du vill like et!!!!!!"

He was invited to some traditional native dancing apparently. Eight men of considerable girth took off white shirts to display their illustrated bodies. The leader then picked up his shirt twirled it around his head and his cohorts followed suit chanting in tongues proclaiming “We are Leeds! We are Leeds!” and other chants about “Yuksher”.

Nadiem Amiri left soon after in a state of flux and caught the first flight back to Germany.

Before overturning a police car !

There is precedence.

Portsmouth's Spinnaker tower was due to be painted red for Emirates sponsor's colour. Fans objected and it was painted blue instead.

With a loss to the council of thousands of pounds for the 100 litres of red paint they had bought and subsequently gave away.

 

[A1X]

Can we start calling them “Red Bull Leeds” now then?

Set to exit the Carabao Cup in the first round, down 3-0 to Boro with 20 minutes left on the clock.

Which is also good as makes pompeys result there not as good as it seemed

Red Bull doesn't seem to have given them wings.

 

[Change at Barnham]

I'm hoping that Middlebrough and Burnley are as good as they have looked in their opening games.
Would another defeat in the play-offs be too much to wish for?

I hope we don't lend Leeds any players to improve them.
