The Spiteful Nine

I know this goes against the grain, but I don't mind Leeds or their fans.

That is the 2020 Leeds fans, their counterparts in the 1960s and 1970s were something else. I really used to hate Leeds supporters back then.

The dialogue from Red Dwarf summed it up:

AR medieval King: Good Knight, bring me this knaves head on a silver platter
Lister (of Smeg): hey, steady!
AR medieval King: Then disembowel him and feed his innards to the crows
crowd cheers
Lister (of Smeg): This is worse than playing away at Leeds.​

However, Leeds fans back then are not Leeds today. They were at the Etihad a few years back in the FA Cup and there were no problems. I worked with a couple of Leeds fans and they both hated United and neither had a problem with City. They didn't ahve that much time for Liverpool but nothing like their animosity to United.
 
that's because they used to get their heads kicked in at Maine road.
Now that I can believe.
One of the late great City Managers Joe Mercer told his players " If you are going to retaliate make sure you do it first".
Seems the City fans took the same advice.
