Charlie48   10 #13 Posted February 11, 2017 We met a family from Leeds on holiday a couple of years ago and all were Leeds fans All were very well behaved and didn't behave like thugs  Both husband and wife worked in the NHS and both the boys (teens) had very good manners and never once tried to smash up any of the local bars while they were on holiday  ;)Think they are the only family who are allowed out of Leeds and that only after years of therapy.  Leeds is different. People are colder and don't seem to have a great sense of humour. Maybe because it has a big service/financial sector. Sheffield city of makers...more creative?  Great book (and film) about Brian Clough's 44 days as Leeds Utd manager - called Damned United. Work of genius by David Peace.  And of course the Great Alan Bennet comes from Leeds - but soon got out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

taxman   12 #18 Posted February 15, 2017 In it appears FC United of Manchester are a bit half hearted and in Cardiff it's just one bloke. But still, the sentiment is the same. BTW the Man U original goes on for about 11 minutes throughout halftime. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

blackydog   40 #20 Posted February 22, 2017 Do you mean they played dirty? Fowling opponents constantly When will they be forgiven if it goes back to the 1970s?  Bit like Scunthorpe did Saturday but worse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
