[Football] Meanwhile, over at Enormous Leeds….

[Guinness Boy]

Presumably thought it was a shithole

 

[BBassic]

That is actually hilarious.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

I love that. Who on Earth thought it was a good idea to give him a tour of the city?

 

[Frankworthington]

Made my day. Superb!

Must be something in the water!

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Can't stand the football club or their fans so could understand if that or Elland Road put him off but Leeds is a good city in fairness.

Maybe he thought it was in London!

 

[Cheshire Cat]

But are they more HUGE than MASSIVE?

Or just enormous?

 

[Greg Bobkin]

I've only been to Leeds once, but I thought it was shi... alright, actually

Mind you, that was about 25 years ago!

 

[Chicken Run]

I loved this on MOTogether

 

[Chicken Run]

Unlike them obviously

 

[ConfusedGloryHunter]

Maybe he met some of their fans?

 

[Colonel Mustard]

Lived in Leeds for a while. Like most places, it has some great and some grotty bits, and is surrounded by some lovely countryside. You could live a very nice life there if you chose the right area.

I think I visited the University in Leeds. Didn't end up going there though.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

I’m waiting for @Live by the sea ‘s definitive and final judgment on Leeds.

Leeds is a great city. My experience of away games over the years has been that the more the town/city is a provincial shithole - Burnley, Stoke etc. - the more the fans are ignorant racist homophobes. Leeds is the exception.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

The training ground is at Wetherby, which is nice.

 

[Mr Bridger]

Also meanwhile, still living in Chelsea fans heads.

You haven't really caught on to the general vibe here have you

 

[el punal]

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.

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

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

Yeah, I was surprised at this: Leeds is a pretty decent place to visit (and live in). Didn't this happen earlier in the season when someone was signing for Villa and did a runner when they saw Birmingham? To be fair, that is more understandable.

But yes, I reckon a lot of foreign players must think all our clubs are in London, or just outside.
