I hate Leeds United as much as the next person, but this really is a joke of a badge and embarrassing even to their neanderthal fans. When I think back on their history it makes you wonder wtf is going on.

As someone who grew up watching the premier league without Leeds in it, can someone please explain why they're so hated as I've never understood it all

They had a very dirty physical side in the 60's/70's with Don Revie and were known as "Dirty Leeds". They had a big hooligan problem too. There's also the whole Lancashire/Yorkshire thing of course and they've had some proper ****s play for them.

If I were to list every hateable thing about Leeds this post would have a word count matching War and Peace. Basically, they are dirty fuckers on the pitch, always have been (I would recommend watching the Damned Utd) and their knuckle dragging fans would rather kick seven shades of shit out of you than watch a football match. As for the delusion fucking hell. Leeds fans seem to think the rest of us go to bed crying because we don't get to see our team play 'Super Leeds' (so super they keep getting relegated). They're the West Ham of the north.

Words cannot describe how happy I was when we took Keane, Robbo, and Lennon off them while they sunk into the lower leagues.

MIllwall of the North. They had a successful team under Don Revie, built on a selection of hard bastards like Jack Charlton, Norman Hunter, Billy Bremner and Joe Jordan. Their hooligan contingent was notorious, and they still have that scumbag element. This was the team that got Brian Clough fired after 44 days.

My dad followed Leeds through the 60s and 70s and has some mental stories.

Think I might go watch the Damned United again, that's a great film. If anyone hasn't seen it, Michael Sheen plays a bang on Cloughie, it's fantastic.

For anyone who wants a taster of Dirty Leeds, the infamous 1974 Charity Shield match against Liverpool.



Few crunchers on the way through, but skip to ~5.15 for the shenanigans to kick off

When footballers were men. I'd like to go back in time and put Jesse Lingard in that match.

This has the makings of a great game. What first 11 would you like to see hacked to pieces by the 70s Leeds team?

Mine would be:

Szczesny
*
Alonso
Terry
Jones (Campbell is too obvious)
Walker (too soon? Just kidding, Moses, because he dives)
*
Noble
Fabregas
Herrera
Wilshere
*
Diego Costa x2, because he deserves double treatment

No room for El Hadj Djiouf? He was a really unlikeble bastard.

I'd also throw Vieira on the bench, because i'm curious how he'd do if you sent out someone who bites back, and bites really fuckin' hard. He might be Woolwich, but he was terrifying.
