LFD 0 Posted February 16, 2011 Another Leeds fan here (don''t worry, we''re not all flocking to your boards ahead of the game, I actually live in Norwich).I was actually quite embarrassed by that article, particularly being a resident of Norwich. There was no reason to bad-mouth the city or team.I could understand to some extent if it was an article about Man U, but as far as I''m concerned our 2 teams are not rivals and have no more of a dislike towards each other than any other 2 teams.

paul moy 235 Posted February 16, 2011 I and my friends had our Norwich scarfs stolen by Leeds fans at Carrow Road when I was about 11 so their attitude to other fans may be the reason. I''ll be reappraising them when I enter their social club as a guest on Saturday...... [:D] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
6088m canary 0 Posted February 16, 2011 Brilliant. Another ridiculous amount of posts about our new "rivals" Leeds.Leeds mean nothing to us, and im sure we mean less than that to them.Ask any football fan nationwide (maybe not Ipswich) for one phrase to describe us....."they play football the right way"Ask any football fan nationwide (even in Leeds apparently) to describe them and theyd say:"dirty players, dirty fans"Lets just leave it at that shall we?And before we have any wannabe stone island wearing chavs coming on here bigging themselevs up,lets not kid ourselves....If Leeds neanderthals and whatever Norwich managed to conjure up square off then thered only be one winner. We are a decent footballing,family club. They however are not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EssexWhite 0 Posted February 16, 2011 I''m not a sensitive little bumpkin, so the swearing doesn''t bother me so much.But I didn''t realise I had 200 posts :-/ do you even have 500 posters? I think the hospitality has made me more welcome to post :-) Used to post a bit in the second half of last years campaign, before the majority got a little too big for thier boots when you won the title. It seems this has continued. Having said that you''ve done a cracking job this year, as we have, and I''m not surprised you''re up there, thought you would be around us this year. To the lad who said something about the bitterness, What you on about? I don''t think there is any, theres barely any bad feeling towards Norwich at all in fact. Let''s face it, we went up the more exciting way, and got more media attention for it, much to the frustration of you as a fanbase and Paul "Chip on my shoulder" Lambert. Besides, the League 1 title fits your honours list alot better than ours ;-) I actually came on to post our team on the "Leeds starting 11 thread" only to find you were actually talking about the Norwich starting 11 :-(At least the bloke who regularly updates you on the Leeds score in your match threads can have the week off this week. Enjoy the game, should be a cracking atmosphere ;-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You sir, are fooling no-one.Have the nerve to attack our sense of humour, yet an indirect quote from Lambert that fairly states nothing other than fact on the back of having won the title could be construed to mean so many other things, apparently has the whole of Leeds up in arms, calling him a "t0sser" and what not as the elected public enemy no. 1 in Yorkshire.Tetchy much.

You lot are a bunch of idiots and you know it. Your club is a TOTAL laughing stock. You''re not hated, you''re THE JOKE of football. Leeds United are just 1 big joke, to everyone.... Literally, EVERYONE. We all take the piss out of you non-stop. You seem to think we''re giving you attention and you get all happy.. We''re mocking you. You think that Leeds United are a massive team and champions of europe.. [:|] You can''t doubt Leeds support, only away though. You''ve got the best away attendances in the league, and will always sell out your whole allocation no matter what the game, at home though, a bit to be desired? I remember you had 20k vs us last season (including our fans). You have a large amount of glory supporters. Piss off back to Waccoe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ODonoughoe 0 Posted February 17, 2011 I think we, as a club are mocked just as much as Leeds. Norwich City = ''Delia''s little Norwich'' or ''Little family club''. To be honest I''m sick of this clean cut reputation. We''re turning into Rugby fans. Soon the River End are gonna want to sit in with away fans, clapping simultaneously whilst singing Swing Low, Sweet Chariot.Leeds are hated because they are over passionate. Fact.Some will call them chavs, some hooligans. If we had 26 thousand over passionate fans are FCR, I wouldn''t be complaining. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
6088m canary 0 Posted February 17, 2011 Jesus mate. I hope you brought a tin hat!That kind of comment on here will onyl bring about "i pay my money i have every right to sit and not contribute in any way shape or form to the atmosphere" or "how dare you call yourself a better fan than me" blah blah.Ive said it before and ill say it again it really is a shame that Carrow Road only has one section that makes any noise. Having watched games in South America i dream of the day we can fill our ground with 20,000people jumping up and down, lighting flares and generally enjoying one of the best feelings in the world....communal love of a football club.I would say that the English in general are a bit too reserved to really get fervent but especially people from Norfolk.Wouldnt it be wonderful if we actually did have a stadium of noise as opposed to some relentless media trained spin from managers or staff.

The River end is always going to be quieter, its a family area, or do you want anyone over the age of five to be wearing a burbery hat and screaming "You facking c**t" every few minutes?Leeds fans are predominately chavs and hooligans and all come with an over inflated opinion of their own self importance (well, they are champions of Europe after all)I bet Leeds wish they had 26,000 passionate supporters too. Their away support is (as is ours) but they have a massive glory hunting section of support that are rarely seen.Any other points to make? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
