I find these 'which club is bigger' debates tedious in the extreme, but I will add this, after nearly 7 years of living in Leeds I'm well fed up with the place. A dull, grey metropolis with little in the way of culture. Unfortunately I'm here for another 2 years at least.

should have wiped the prints and torched the car

Thanks. It's a different image to the one I had. This one always sticks in my head:



All pictures are indeed welcome.

Leeds screwed up English football for a generation with their cheating, thuggish tactics

and what was worse was they never needed to do it  - they were good enough to play brilliant football without kicking people to death ... but they didn't

That Leeds team did play brilliant football. They were also as hard as any team around but every one of them was a very good player.

When you look at other teams in that era, its difficult to single out Leeds players when you think of the likes of McGrath and McNamee, Tommy Smith, Chopper Harris, Maurice Setters, Storey,Simpson and Mclintoch...three fucking thugs at arsenal...Dave Mackay, Pat Crerand, Charlie Hurley to name but a few. Leeds players were just as hard or dirty however you look at it but also a hell of a team. I'd say all those players'd have a good laugh at the puffs playing the game these days.

I saw them play the most sublime half of football I've ever seen in a Yuorpean game at Elland Road - but they were all professional thugs.  the hard men you name were pretty much mainly that - the hard men in a team which would have skilfull and decent players as well

Revie turned everyone of his players into a sneaking, cheating, fouling monster

Thing is, they'd probably have won more if they weren't so hated. Nobody ever lay down for them. Good, because I fucking hate them.

Same here, they deserved the name "Dirty Leeds" and deserved to miss out on the number of trophies they shouldhave won because they were an awful, dirty bunch of bastards with a complete cunt for a manager. They could play great football so there was no need for the entire team to be the way they were which meant any admiritation you had for their football went out the indow because they were such a disgrace. Cloughy had them right and of course made a point of tellimg them all when he took over as boss, which they didn't like!  

Other teams would have their hard man/hard men (or thugs, depending on your view) and their footballers, Revie and Leeds decided to have a team full of pricks and deserve any stick they get.

Put it this way, Clough got football 'right', Revie got it wrong imo.

Exactly, and its why Cloughie is remembered as a legend and Revie isn't outside of Leeds. Its one of the many reasons Keegan and his team deserved a trophy here for playing lovely football, no nastiness or cheating, no bothering refs and players who weren't arseholes.

Cloughie got football right? That's why he had the nastiest, dirtiest player in his day playing for him. A right cunt that cost us one of the best players we've ever produced.

But don't let the facts get in the way of a good story.

His sides played the right way though. Everyone had hard men back in those days as has been mentioned. His side would have been walked all over without the likes of Kenny Burns. Doesn't mean he didn't have the right ethos about the way the game should be played. Tbh though, you'd argue shite was sugar.

Im not going to sniffers for tea

Getting him to agree with you has hardly been the achievement of the fucking century though is it? You might as well put "the pope is catholic" as your opening argument tbh
