    Is it worse?

    Honestly no idea. Two shambles of a club. Both with decent potential that has/maybe slipped away.

    He's the perfect guy for that horrible little club <laugh>

    I thought he was banned by the football league from being involved in the daily running of the club?

    Without the bias Tel that horrible little club was not to little for a while. Infact did rather well for a time. A time when Man U werent exactly world beaters.

    The term. Dirty ****ing Leeds lives on for a reason. It brought them sucess. Well until they met the mighty undercats in 73.

    Huddersfield and Wolves have been Champions as well mate, Leeds are that stature for me, where they belong.

    They pretend they're some sort of Juggernaut of a club, a sleeping giant, they're not.

    Can't say I'm too distraught by the plight of Leeds. Always thought they were not as clever as the fans thought they were, had a few nasty moments with their fans when they were bigging themselves up, just hope we don't slide into the same abyss they find themselves in now.

    Very vague mate. Did they not have the right to gloat?

    Done a lot. At the time far more dominant tnan man u or city. Or most others.

    They certainly were, especially in the Revie days.

    Horrible antics on the pitch but a very good team nonetheless.

    Gone a long way backwards. Shows how easily it can happen.

    Far more dominant that United? Are you kidding me? We won the PL title 13 times in 21 seasons and stuck a couple of European cups in there for good measure, not to mention the domestic cups.

    Leeds have 3 to their name, ever.

    They've never 'dominated' the game, they've never even won back to back league titles.

    Unless you've worded that wrong or I've mistaken what you meant?

    It's his only regret, not winning more. We had our chances in the late 00's but Barca were just too strong for us, we couldn't beat them. The one time we managed to get past them we won it.

    Won two, lost two.

    He'd have the third if it wasn't for Frank Ribery getting Rafael sent off and Rooney being injured in 2010. We'd have wiped the floor with Lyon and Inter.

    People wax lyrical about the barca in this era. But I'd say man u were probably better in that there was better competition. I don't buy that barca have been soo so much better

    They were unstoppable where we were concerned, that's all that mattered to me!

    I assume you mean they were bigger than us at that point.

    In no way did they dominate the English game to the extent we did. Not even close.
