Good Morning Everyone,

Huddersfield Town have accused Leeds fans of giving them the 'Hitler salute.

Ok, the Town Manager is German, but that is where the similarities stop.

On closer inspection, the Leeds fans were giving the Leeds salute.

<doh>





In recent weeks, our away kit has changed from:-

Does anyone know why?


Has Jansson been put in charge of kit selection?


Are we seeing the first influence from Radrizzani?


Who prefers the yellow and blue?


What was the worst Leeds kit?


Did you buy it?
 
Morning all.

Regarding the alleged Hitler salute. Are they that stupid? Wow.
Apparently pre 1940 the Leeds salute was done with the left arm but after the Nazis started using their version of the salute Leeds switched to their right arm.
I added apparently at the start as I'm sure I remember reading that somewhere and hope I haven't just made it up.

This accusation stinks of clutching at straws. Everything that happened Sunday has shown them to be a classless club. From a Turkish flag to that cupid stunt of a manager they are pathetic to the core.
They are just trying to deflect some of the criticism away from themselves.
