You have to ask yourself why Warrington were down to 11 men. They weren't down to 11 men because they were attacking on Hull KR's line or in the ascendency in the game for example.

That’s the funny thing about fans from other clubs getting giddy about Leeds’ current situation....the reality is Leeds will still be back reaching and winning finals before at least half of the teams in SL manage to do so, whether that takes 5 years or 10.

Not much of a boast for one of, if not the biggest clubs in British RL.
Can you imagine if Liverpool or Man United were bottom or, next to bottom in the Premier League.
Fans of other clubs would, quite rightly be enjoying their pain.
Sorry, Printer, you just have to suck it up for a while
The bottom line is that Leeds, with all of their resources, should NEVER be in their current position and you know it.

We shouldn’t be right at the bottom no but poor comparison to the likes of Liverpool or Man Utd given the salary cap in RL and the MASSIVE gap in money in football in the Premiership table. Those teams haven’t had a SC that didn’t increase for over a decade because smaller clubs couldn’t keep up and the bigger clubs were dragged down to their level and hurt the quality of the competition as a result.
Quite fine “sucking it up”, because like I said Leeds will be back in finals before most of the league.

True, yet they continue to support the club, unlike some Leeds fans who have, all of a sudden, fallen out of love with the game.

Just reading this thread from the start. WireWireWire- really funny/spot on. Your parody of as108 is brilliant- it's really accurate as well. It's definitely more than a bang average parody.

If anyone despises another club or their supporters then they really need to re-assess their priorities in life.

I take it then that your friend prefers arrogant/ignorant fans. If that's the case, I'm guessing he's a Saints fan?
You'll find that, most of the time, it's actually the arrogance and lack of respect given by certain saints posters towards other clubs that leads to all the dick measuring nonsense on here.
Also as108, you're about as funny as floorboards, so I won't be seeking your help for any advice on humour- thanks anyway.

Warrington aren’t despised, they get mocked for the “it’s our year” thing but that’s about it. Teams that are probably most despised are Wigan and Leeds and that’s just childish jealously because of their success.

No that'd be the arrogance and sense of entitlement of their supporters

Leeds and Wigan fans could act like the most humblest people on earth and fans of certain teams would still hate those clubs out of jealously. The “it’s because of their fans” is just a weak see-through excuse they try to throw out to make it look like it’s not because of success jealousy (you know...because they convince themselves following a team isn’t about success because their team has had none). Also the other thing is Leeds and Wigan fans act absolutely ZERO differently to what other clubs fans would IF they EVER had our success to celebrate so pointing the finger at the fans is again a pathetic see-through excuse.
Certain fans will try to counter this point and say they aren’t jealous and blame their neighbour, or me or other fans they’ve read online....it’s BS, the reason they hate the likes of Leeds & Wigan is just pure jealousy but they aren’t man enough to admit that weakness so they convince themselves it’s something more and they have good reason by being provoked by their clubs fans.

Good rant and yes I would love my club to have had the same success as Leeds and Wigan. But the reason I don't like either of them is because of the reasons stated.

| I usually find Wigan fans fine. Can't like the club because well it's Wigan. Even with 30 years of no success and no fans saints would take great pleasure in thumping Wigan.
Leeds is fine stood in the south side with a saints shirt on, no issues.
Warrington is the only place I've been to so far were its a more football type atmosphere and having stood with Warrington fans had to move as they couldn't cope with being decent.
Its probably not everyone but it's the only place we have had to move for our own safety and this was as a family group not a bunch of drunken lads.

Unlike you, I don't perceive the entire fan base of any club as being a hive mind, who think, act and behave in exactly the same way; so you're wrongheaded rant falls at the first hurdle.
I dislike *certain* fans of *certain* clubs; primarily, ones like you. Thankfully however, you're not representative of the vast majority of Leeds fans - a fact which I suspect is as welcome to them as it is to me.
