You must either be from Leeds or studied there, can't imagine why anyone not from Leeds would support TWS.

My grandad lived in Leeds for about 30 years then moved to London, my dad obviously supports Leeds because my grandad does and now I support them. You would be surprised. There are many Leeds fans spread out across the country and I know quite a few in London.
An amzing final day to the season. I'm dissapointed by the result,but it did win me a bit of money. I hope next season is as exciting... 2 goals in injury... insane finish.
OMG!!!
What a match!!
Incredible!!

Thats as good a reason to support a team as any tbh, once a team gets you you're hooked or in your case fooked.

Man U paid 60m for two players years ago (ferdinand and Rooney)... probably about 80m in todays money. Utd bought the title many times spent big money on many players, as did Chelsea, as did Blackburn, as did many other teams. |
My take on the whole "big-money" debate is this...
David Beckham, Paul Scholes, Ryan Giggs, Gary Neville, Phil Neville, Nicky Butt... These players cemented Manchester United's dominance of the Premier League in the 90s. They were not the product of money, they were the product of good management and one of the most nurturing youth systems ever. Sure they've spent big in recent years, but that is only possible due to their earlier, self-made success.
Manchester city are missing that. Outside of Joe Hart, I can't think of one player still at Man City who has risen through the ranks.'They even gave away their home-grown star Stephen Ireland, once voted 'player of the year', just so they could spend £24m on another player. I think something valuable has been lost from the club when that happens.
Chelsea did exactly the same thing. The only remaining product of the pre-Abramovich era are John Terry and Frank Lampard. Surely the real feeling of victory is missing from a club like that. It's like cheating in a video game; you'll win, but it wont feel the same.

Ye definitely. No matter how bad Leeds have been in recent years I have never stopped supporting them, infact my support has probably gone up since their decline. True fans support a team through the worst times. I've watched Leeds play in the champions league in my lifetime, and watched them away at gillingham in the league. What i dont understand is how people can defect and support another team.

in four years, southhampton or so will be champion if sheik xyz from dubai wants to. horrible, what has football come to... same with chelsea, nobody on the planet did care about them...from one to the next year popular around the world just because they had hundred millions to throw away. those guys who only start to be fan of a club because of money are the biggest joke.
how great would it be to have a system where clubs only can spend a part of their revenue (of merchandise, spectators, price-money from championsleague and things like that) for players and not more than the whole revenue is lol...without that, some like the english league are only a joke.
Consider it on loan, we'll have it back next season lol.
