Come on Leeds

I know, I don't like them either, but I thought today I'd be more understanding of them and wish them the very best in their game.

can't agree with that Tony...will send you a bar of soap in the post!

the sleeping giants will always be below our East Lancs neighbours in my book!

0-0 will do me.

Anyone got a link for Venkys/Leeds?
Struggling here.

Leeds fans at work have been banging on about them taking 7,000 to Ewood today. Surely they should get some bonus points or something for that.

Having said that, I am hoping for an away win.

They should concentrate on filling their ground at home. Not like they share a city and support with anyone else is it?

**** club, **** fans, but hope they win today.

It's a bit like Man Utd. fans watching the Liverpool v City game a couple of weeks ago. 0-0 is about as good as it can get but the added bonus of a missed penalty in the last minute by either side would be worth seeing.

Listening to Burnley fans bang on about Leeds is like listening to how Stockport fans used to bang on about Burnley

1-0 Rovers after 2 minutes

I have lived in Leeds for nearly 20 years and as such it feels like a local derby. If I didn't I doubt I'd give much of a toss about them.

I do find the one-sided rivalry from Burnley fans who don't have to live amongst Leeds fans a bit odd.

It wasnt aimed at any individual or even just this thread but its a constant stream which like you I find a bit odd. Ive lived in Leeds for nearly 20 years and all the lads I know who support them just love their football and club no different to any fans of other clubs I know including us.

I Leeds supporting mate nearly orgasmed when he heard both sets of supporters singing “we all hate Leeds..****” at the Man Utd game recently. They thrive on it!

All they are is another has been big city club out of the top division for almost a generation now.

FactualFrank · Post by **FactualFrank** » Sat Oct 20, 2018 12:23 pm

Leeds fans on about sh*t support.
Rovers fans singing about Jimmy Saville.

I'd like Rovers to win this. If you're from Skipton, Leeds are the main enemy. Skipton Leeds fans think the same about Burnley.

FactualFrank · Post by **FactualFrank** » Sat Oct 20, 2018 12:59 pm

1-1 would be fine. Both teams drop points.

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Sat Oct 20, 2018 1:00 pm

7,717 Leeds fans.

You're a Burnley fan from the Burnley area, I take it.

Rovers or Leeds? I have sleepless nights sometimes, wrestling with the thought of which do I dislike more.

Gotta say it is probably Leeds. So here's to a win for the rovers and neither making the play offs

mkmel · Post by **mkmel** » Sat Oct 20, 2018 1:56 pm

Dislike it or even hate it but Rovers as a club seem to have stabilised and Tony Mowbray has done a good job there

piston broke · Post by **piston broke** » Sat Oct 20, 2018 1:58 pm

Leeds look a small side to me. They might struggle over a 46 game season, I hope.

Absolutely same.

While I dont want Rovers to do anything, depending on circumstances its hard to say who i would want to lose more. Today it was Leeds, as I dont want them winning the league!

Hopefully though both tail off. That said mowbrays doing well!

Just over 1% of the population of Leeds

Equates to Burnley taking 800 to an away game

Hopefully it'll just be early season enthusiasm. Alex Neil did the same at PNE.

ClaretFelix · Post by **ClaretFelix** » Sat Oct 20, 2018 5:12 pm

Terrible game today from what I saw. To say they had 7,600 fans on, Leeds were very quiet apart from the occasional "marching on together".
Having said that, the 11,000 rovers fans were pretty much silent all game, even when they scored!

FactualFrank · Post by **FactualFrank** » Sat Oct 20, 2018 5:13 pm

I watched the Blackburn game earlier, and for me, they're not one of the top 6 sides. I don't think they deserved the win, to be fair.

Do Leeds look a top 6 side Frank ?

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Sat Oct 20, 2018 5:32 pm

Leeds have been really good this season, deffo a top six team. They may have been poor today, don't know, but when I've seen em on the box, they've been great.

Rileybobs · Post by **Rileybobs** » Sat Oct 20, 2018 5:40 pm

Leeds look good, play some decent stuff and seem to be able to stick the ball in the back of the net. That's just one win in five now though so hopefully they have peaked!

Even worse is if they both go up. The Champ is very tight this season though and there's the likes of Derby who look to be in the mixer as well.

Aclaret · Post by **Aclaret** » Sat Oct 20, 2018 5:53 pm

You're right, I've just had a glance at the Champ table and it could be anyone's this season. Surprised to see Stoke and Swansea down near the bottom.
