Whatever mate. You and I both know Leeds have the biggest fanbase in this league, both home and away. But if you want to keep feeding that chip on your shoulder feel free to carry on.

Amazing how many times cup competitions are considered unimportant AFTER a team has been knocked out of them. Didn't seem to stop you putting out a strong side, similar to the one on Saturday....

Erm.....hello???

Has anyone claimed that Leeds do not have the biggest fan base? Of course not, it would be ridiculous, frankly.

The arrogance of some Leeds fans continues to astound me. Leeds and Leicester are the two team with chips on their shoulders. Saying to other teams that playing them equates to a cup final is pathetic.

It might be pathetic but in many cases the facts seem to show that it is i.e. attendance and performance.

I think the fact you are on the Leeds board making your noise rather than the other way around shows where the chip lies......

No, but I have tried t o point out on countless occasions that it isnt as good as their fans keep banging on about.
Sheffield wednesday (when a league 1 side) brought down 4500 to posh they year the beat us 1-0 and Kuqi scored and had 23/4,000 at hillsborough every saturday.

I'm just saying whilst Leeds' support deserves appaluse, the frequency of its mention and and the hype it gets is a little bit OTT.

Leeds fans like to think they can use the excuse that other teams try that much harder against them because it detracts from the fact that their club isn't as good as they think they are...

The reason you all hate leeds is because even though we're a leauge one club we get more attention from the media and from other clubs than any team out of the premiership.

Wouldn't you just love posh to attract the type of players, number of fans and interest that leeds generates without even trying.

Even if (and this won't happen)Peterborough get promoted this season and Leeds stay in leauge one we could still entice away any of your players we wanted. That's not arrogance, it's just the way it is. Fact. You hate us because you want to be us.

and i felt sorry for leeds having ken bates but barry fry...!!!

Some Leeds fans - Jeeeez

We don't hate you. We care not for media attention, and the type of player you get is no better or worse that the type we get (as was aptly demonstrated last weekend).

And to suggest that Championship players would leave an up and coming club to join a bunch of washed up has beens in a lower league is quite frankly ridiculous. Your club is living on past glories, and whilst some of your more intelligent fans accept this and have moved on, some of you clearly don't have the wit to do so.

Oh, and at least Barry Fry did not cost us a total of 25 points. Hmmm. Wonder if you would rather not have lost those points but been stuck with fat Barry for 12 years. I suspect so.

We don't hate you. We pity you.

Tell that to Andy Robinson who got promoted with Swansea and could not get to Elland Road quick enough. Your point is weak
