Will UFS be there then? 

 

I just was wondering the reason for being so affirmative but there's definitely been an upturn since Sheffield Wednesday away 

They will yes.

 

Im not sure really guess it could be a mix of; It couldnt get much worse than Wednesday away, Manager talking about the importance of good support plus maybe the fanbase taking a load of stick online.

Anyone on about our atmosphere needs to look at how quiet a whole stadium stood up with a hundred years of having their "singing sections" sorted were tonight. Laughably quiet until they scored. 

Leeds fans are overrated man. People bang on about them for some strange reason just because they go mental. 
 

Quiet for large parts of the game, they were at our place too earlier in the season.

Least you missed the Leeds love-in on TV. Not seen anything like that coverage for a team on Sky. It's really not a conspiracy to say we aren't liked by pundits. Was noticeable in the title winning season too and not really picked up on as much as it should be.

So two things.  One, you took a fairly early lead.  Name me a ground anywhere that is reliably bouncing when their team is losing?  Two, I knew it would be quiet anyway.  Nerves.  Whenever there is a huge amount riding on it, ER can often decend into a nervy and quiet mess.  

 

When it erupts it erupts louder than any ground in the country.  You won't see or hear anything like that last 15 minutes anywhere else in English football and that's why we have that reputation. 

 

No English ground is a wall of noise now.  Those days were over years ago.

Thanks for coming on here with your excuses.The conclusions are you’re not the great fan base you lot boast about,and “fortress ER “ couldn’t lift your  team for a big game when it needed it for the first 80 minutes. 
Blimey, the middle class Tory support flask carriers that we beat ourselves up about, managed to be heard above you on Sky for most of the game.

Whats this about nerves making you quiet!? What happened to that stoical, defiant Yorkshire spirit?

I thought at times we had quite a noisy end. Never clicked up a gear frustratingly and still a very big proportion of our ends just will not open their mouths to sing anything.

 

Leeds pretty disappointing till they scored, but blimey once they did. To a man all stands stood going barmy.

What id do for that kind of passion and buy in.

Don't take any offence mate. It just wrangles because the media overegg Elland Road's atmosphere. A bit like how pundits all wank over Liverpool's Kop when it's silent as soon as YNWA ends. Like you say, all English grounds are mostly quiet nowadays. 

 

Sky last night were raving about the role the atmosphere played in the Leeds comeback. I couldn't disagree more. I think your team, having been outplayed for 80 minutes, dragged themselves back into it. They didn't have any encouragement from the fans at 0-1 down. The players shifted the momentum on their own.

 

The scenes at FT were impressive though. Our stadium would have cheered then filed out politely (those that didn't leave on 80 minutes that is).

You summed that up perfectly.

 

I didn't go last night, but the number of away games I've been to where it's been "ok-ish" ... but could've been brilliant if everyone would just open their mouths, and make some noise.

 

And as you say, there are a few grounds (not many) when with a late goal and a following wind it goes absolutely mental.  Over the last couple of decades I would put Leeds, Villa, Birmingham, Stoke and Millwall in that category.   But I can't think of too many others.   Newcastle might do the same, but they've been shite for over 50 years.

Thought they were really quiet as well until they scored. That south stand is ****ing nuts though.

Media love Leeds for some bizarre reason. Won fvck all for the last thirty years and spent a good two or three seasons in the third tier. Nowhere near the club the media pretend they are. Pretty sure they’ve only won one more trophy than us.

 

Plus they sing about a European Cup they never even won.

Leeds lost to Bayern Munich by corrupt referee had a clear goal ruled out

The song We Are the Champions of Europe was sung in the 70s as a rallying chant and still continues to today
