With all the shit going on with us I've even found it hard to get any enjoyment about them drawing with leeds, I feel like I couldn't give 2 fucks about any footballing match result atm.

I agree. But still it was nice to find out a few minutes ago that they only drew at home last night.

I went to bed last night with Leeds 2 up and knowing that the scum would get it back. However, for some reason, I thought it was the FA Cup, and I was wishing it was the league because I thought 2 points dropped against manageress Leeds was still good. When I heard it was actually the league I was very happy. Just need Leeds to turn up again on Sunday now.

I also don't get the hatred for Leeds from City fans... I've always had a soft spot for them even since they beat united to the last First Division title in 91/92.

I like Leeds as well my second team

Rag fans getting giddy.

Not only are the new owners going to invest in the squad, they are investing in the players and investing in the stadium and the surrounding area near the stadium.

Not sure how they are going to do the last one seeing the area next to the swamp is a retail park and Europe's biggest industrial estate Trafford Park

I was there when the scummy f*ckers tore up the Platt Lane end and witnessed grown men picking on kids on the way out of the ground. Horrible set of fans.

Talk about polishing a turd. BBC saying what a great comeback after being 2 nil down, at home, against the bottom club. Well done raggies, wonderful effort, don't know how you managed it. Nothing to do with not getting 2 well deserved red cards then.

Compare and contrast to City being dead and buried against Spurs at half time the other week and then walloped them in the second. They were that gutted they had to focus on the fact the team got booed off at half time rather than the turnaround. Could you imagine the knives being drawn if we’d got that result against Leeds?

Me neither, I'm a fan of any team that takes a point or three off the Rags. I was in Cannabis Canyon, aka Hebden Bridge, a week or so back, and a fellah noticed my City badge and said he was a Leeds fan from the 70's. I go a bit further back than that, I said, mid-fifties and told him the first game I watched at Maine Road had Don Revie scoring. Oh, he said, I loved Don Revie. And I suppose he's as revered in Leeds as much as Bremner, Charlton, 'n Hunter! They gave the Dippers 'n Rags as good as they got, and a bit more, too!
