Leeds United 2016/17 thread

I don't know how many times I've had this argument with people about why is X in the Premier League, when Y has great support. Simple, really. A club's league position is defined mainly by performances on the pitch (although Rangers and Leeds have had their wrists slapped for financial improprieties). It's up to each individual team to take care of business on the pitch. Having big support (though there always seems to be plenty of empty seats at Elland Road whenever they're on the box) does not earn you a place in the Premier League. Why should the players at, say, Hull be punished for the apathy of their fans? They earned their place in the PL due to their results last season; nothing more, nothing less. When Leeds manage to finish in the top 2, or win the playoff, then they'll be in the PL. It's not that difficult a concept to grasp.

My favourite chant to away supporters was to dirty Leeds' fans at Maine Road - probably their last season in the top flight - "Small Town in Bradford! You're just a Small Town in Bradford!"

I suppose nothing will change that, but I can tell you that the Leeds fans don't have much in common with the idiots from those dark days - they've moved on as well. In fact, I would say that Leeds is among the best-supported sides in the country - and for that reason alone, should be playing in the top league.

Garbage.

They may have improved but their support is still one of the worst behaved and most stuck in the past.

We have our fair share of idiots and have a lot of arrests but compared to these dick heads. Our fan base is much better behaved.

Leicester struggled to get 32,000 before last year, when we had similar attendances in the 3rd division, at a time when less people went to football. Does that mean we deserved to win the league more than them? Does it fuck.
 
The problem with their style of play in the late 60s and 70s is that Revie had fantastic players but insisted on gamesmanship, cheating and the dark arts at every opportunity. Unlike Wimbledon who could only play like a shower of thugs.
As for their attendances: Consider who gets the highest crowds in the country and then think how fucking stupid you look suggesting promotion or any other form of success should be based on the number of disease carrying vermin you get through the turnstiles.
