Leeds v Swansea last night...

Post by Marney&Mee » Thu Feb 14, 2019 5:19 pm

Went to the game last night. First time at Elland Road...impressive atmosphere. Can't see Leeds finishing outside the top 2 now.

Couple of things stay in the memory. The way they incessantly sing 'we are the champions, champions of Europe'. they've never won the Champions League but still feel aggrieved about a disallowed goal in one final and a dodgy ref in another. I'm not sure if they were doing it ironically. Bizarre to see and hear

Got chatting to a Leeds fan (about 50 years old). As soon as I said I'm a Burnley fan he lost the plot. 'you've ruined my night. Why aren't you watching Burnley tonight' 'you've never filled the away end, we always fill it at Turf Moor' 'we'll always be a bigger club than you'. He was spitting feathers.

Bizarre characters !

Perhaps he knew Burnley Ladies were at Padiham last night playing Bolton Ladies.... lost 1-0 but still top of league......

Have been to Elland road a few times and have never heard them singing "We are Champions, Champions of Europe" ??? "Hating Man Utd" and "Marching on together" but not that :lol:

There was one sat next to be in the Bob Lord corporate, he was a disgrace!

Spent 120 minutes telling everyone how Burnley were Sh!te and wouldn’t get 10 points all season (we finished 7th) and how we’d be swopping league places! After they won on penalty’s he took off his jacket and started banging his Leeds shirt shouting ‘Leeds, Leeds, Leeds’ I was close to getting myself a ban that night and can only hope somebody gave him a clip when he left the ground.

Burnley fans can’t wear football shirts in the corporate areas, which is completely understandable, yet I’ve seen at least 4-5 away fans wearing them

Josh Warrington is an unreal boxer and a pleasure to watch, but I couldnt face another night surrounded by ****** up Leeds fans singing Leeds songs for 3 hours

I do like the fact that their club shops sells loads of buckets. Same as the ones Bielsa-bun keeps sitting on in front of the dugout!

It's hard to talk to Leeds fans about football. They just want to talk away followings and singing songs.
