View from Sunderland

[The Bear]

Sunderland win for me. I've watched the Blades since 1970 and I'm so bored with finishing 2nd or losing in the play-offs. I want to see us win this damn league before I leave this mortal coil.

Absolutely !! I have given up on a FA/League Cup win as it is ingrained in our DNA not to try very hard because the league is always more important ffs.

Yes they kicked anyone who could play football to death whilst playing the victim if their players got fouled. They also invented surrounding and intimidating referees to get every decision in their favour and most of the stuff disliked in the modern game. Don Revie was the subject of unproven rumours of bribery and financial irregularities. A lot said that was the reason he jumped ship from the England job to go to Saudi or wherever it was rather than just the obsession with money. Anything Leeds have ever won has been on the back of bending the rules and downright cheating.

The majority of the country celebrated when Sunderland beat them in the fa cup final in 73. Rarely has an underdog victory been so popular.

Apart from when they are a league rival to us I generally couldn't care less about Leeds. Wednesday are the only team I have a hatred for, we have our little rivalries dependant on what's happening on the pitch e.g. Norwich (take your time), Coventry (tennis ball) and Wrexham (Rattled) but it quickly gets forgotten.

I'm kind of here as well. Leeds might raise a chuckle when they lose.

But when Wednesday lose it's fucking hilarious

My only wish is that we show those arrogant cunts how good we can really be. If we show up to the party and be the pro-active team we saw against Boro…I don’t fear Leeds one iota, as I think they are flat-track bullies.

My hatred of leeds stems from a birthday party when I was 7 and I couldn't say Lorimer properly and everyone mocked me.
Glad I'm not a 7 year old now with the likes of Anel playing.

Not Knaresborough, but The Alex in Harrogate is pretty decent.
