I feel sorry for Leeds fans.

I hold no bad feelings for them, I am a bit too young to have anything historical to dislike them for and always it's better to let things go like that anyway.

I see Leeds as a club with HUGE potential and it is damn shame that it is being asset stripped they way it is and it must make the fans feel totally embarassed and humiliated the way the club is going.

From my memory Leeds has always been a very proud club with a proud set of fans. Some of the reason you get these stupid comments is just a masnifestation of the pure frustration and anger the fans are feeling after years of miss-management and profiteering.

I for one used to always enjoy our games with Leeds and hope that they can get it together and we can play in the prem again or god forbid in the championship again.
 
I don't care about figures. Arrests can be anything from being a little bit drunk to smashing a bottle over someone's head so that doesn't prove anything

This just isn't true. I can understand that other fans may think us leeds fans are arrogant but that is only because we do like to recap the past of better glories but most violent is just incorrect to say the least

The thing is I grew up in the 70's and have witnessed first hand hooliganism of the worst kind perpetuated by Leeds 'fans' and have the scars to prove it. As a young boy I used to SUPPORT Leeds, they were my 'second' team. There is an article somewhere in the archives of not606 were I tell of this. Unfortunately after getting set upon as a youngster by grown men I fell out of love with Leeds PDQ. I know there are many true football fans that follow Leeds and you appear to be one Josh, but there are a hell of a lot more who still just want to cause trouble if you ask me <ok>

P.S. I remember once talking to a shopfitter who had come down from Leeds. I asked him if he supported Leeds and his response was "Yep, We are Leeds and I ****ing hate everyone else", nice chap

That quote drips from Leeds fans. In line with the time there was an away fan sitting in the Leeds area and people were taking turns to hit him. This story always ends with "it was quality". NICE
 
I know that you can't tar all Leeds supporters with the same brush but two seasons ago, when me and my son, a few friends and their kids came out of the Jarrold stand, a Leeds 'fan' actually spat in the direction of my mate's 8 year old (and no, it wasn't aimed at us adults). Scumbags

I must say I don't understand this dislike or even hatred of other clubs and their supporters. We have a pop at Ipswich and there have been the odd handbags at 40 paces over the years, but there is no hatred just a bit of rivalry. Lets face it, they are approaching 50 miles away from Norwich so its not a local derby at all. They are in another county!
But it is only football. And I don't think we ought to be glad that Leeds are in the ****. Or Pompey. Or Rangers. Despite the many knobheads who purport to support them, there will be many more who are just like us.

This :)

Everyone has a certain percentage of idiots supporting them
 
I think like or dislike of opposing fans is all based on personal experience of a few. I can't stand forest fans having had a few bad experiences with them, but in all honesty the bulk of them are probbaly perfectly likeable. I suspect the same is true of leeds. Kisnorbo is right every team in the land will have a bunch of knobs supporting them, but that's no reason to wish them ill and the problems that Leeds are experiencing nobody deserves...

On a separate point, just wondering who is likely to be the next Leeds captain, just so we can get an early heads up on who is next on the list to join us...
<whistle>

Not sure whos going to be captain to be honest, but we know once they do they are pretty much signing for Norwich when they do haha

Jason Pearce is who i'd like to take the armband but could be David Norris or Rodolph Austin I'll let you know :)

I agree with this, its just Leeds percentage is much higher and much nastier than anyone elses I can think of. Everyone I've come across just excrete bitterness and aggressive moronic behaviour.

"WE ARE LEEDS!!" they cry

thankfully you are, and situated about 180 miles away from Norwich

If I remember correctly you averaged around a hundred or so more fans at home than us in 2011/12. You had 101 arrests at home that season, we had 5!

edit- in fact you had more arrests at home than the next four clubs on the list put together! (Middlesborough, Burnley, Bristol City and Millwall)
 
I think there is enough evidence in the public domain to back our claims.

I shouldn't bother trying to cover it up or explain it away Kisnorbo. Its not a few fans going around swearing a bit.

I remember the home game, front of the crowd a group of kids (armed with their shell suits) no older than 14 sticking there middle fingers up whilst there dirty uncle laughed with pride. They are a horrible bunch.
