Kicked off in South Africa road then covered themselves with glory with chants of “is this Baghdad not London” and “you’re not English anymore” lovely bunch of fellas !!
favourite cheese mature Cheddar. FFS there is no such thing as the EPL
Nothing to do with the violence but I am sure I heard them singing about being European Champions or something similar for several minutes in the second half. Now I lived through that period when Revie’s Leeds were at their peak and I’m sure they never won the European Cup so where the hell do they get this deluded belief from?

because they had a goal disallowed and they reckon that the ref was biased when they lost the final to Bayern in 1975. So even though they lost, they're still apparently Champions of Europe. By that logic, look out for them in the 4th round draw tomorrow evening.

They’ve always sung it.
Think they lost to Bayern with an Italian ref and have always said it was fixed. Bayern had an Italian player who apparently was in the ref’s ear before, during and after. Might have got the nationalities wrong but something like that.
Saw a few law-keepers with moron-slapping equipment heading in that direction down Ellerslie. Hopefully they connected with a few empty skulls.
Yes there were a couple of lovely fellas who were summarily ejected. Brazen pair both wearing Leeds shirts. I don't think they were keeping a low profile which is a pre requisite if your an away fan in a home end. It was lovely to be in X stand when we scored. Became very, very, very, quiet.

Thanks for the info Peter. I knew Bayern had beaten them in the final but I hadn’t realized they’d been whining about it for 40 years. I suppose by the same logic we were First Division Champions in 1976 because it was rigged by Liverpool playing their last game a couple of weeks after us.
Note the tiny admission that with proper reffing Lids should have played 86 minutes with 10 men due to them being dirty b*****ds (who'd have thought it, eh?).
I think there is another European final where there pretty much has been proven match fixing (I think the ref confessed years later) but I forget who the teams were. Possibly Derby?
Considering the 7/7 bombers came from Yorkshire and Bradford has a big Asian community, as do other parts of the county, they have a nerve comparing London with the middle east.

I was at FC Romania vs Uxbridge yesterday with a Leeds supporting mate. My QPR mate asked him about the song. It stems from Leeds winning the Fairs Cup around the time decimalisation was invented. Since then they've claimed 'we are the champions, champions of europe'.
Dare i even try and defend them but it seems to me the whole “Champions of Europe” thing is more about not allowing what they feel they were cheated out of to not be forgotten rather than being deluded.

“A bit thick” comes to mind.
Yeah this was also in that all white paradise of Yorkshire....

Dundee Utd were 2-0 up after home first leg of European Cup semi against Roma in 1984 but there seems to have been an admission recently that the ref was tapped up, both insiders at Roma and the ref have been quoted owning up. They really were a great team at a great time for Scottish football, reaching uefa Cup final too. I believe hey are the only team in world football to have beaten Barcelona every time they have played competitively, 4 times in 2 Cup draws 20 years apart, that's a good record to have!
As somebody who grew up in a place with only white people, i absolutely love the fascinating cultural mix we have in London, it's a big part of the reason why it is the best city on the planet.
If somebody asked me what is the most unpleasant team in English football, i'd say Leeds.
Just to add to the deluded comments, you can’t view any of their forums other than 606 which is dead to read any of their comments unless you are registered.
