So you are saying Leeds fans ARE arrogant and cocky?
At least you admit it.

But it's time to let it go Printer.

Yes when we were winning things, just like Wigan, just like Cas in 2017, just like Saints in 2018 and this season, just like Wakey are now.

ALL fans get cocky when their team is doing well no matter how hard you might want to pretend it’s something exclusive to Leeds fans.

Don’t think Wakey fans are cocky at all, just because we are laughing at the Leeds position, we are just enjoying the moment, if we were winning trophy after trophy then yes, like your lot were cocky, hence the joy of seeing you fail and finding it amusing

Fans generally don’t every really see it in themselves, note Cas and Saints didn’t think they were being cocky the last 2 years yet plenty other fans thought they were.

Apparently Wakey were whipping boys that are too poor to be in SL, according to your forum a couple of years ago. %90 of posters didn’t argue against it. So you must allow our time in the sun. It just goes to show how good management and shrewd signings can transform a skint whipping boy outfit.

Maybe Leeds could follow our lead and not throw money at overseas deadbeats. Just a thought.

LOL. We are not cocky.
But you need to accept you reap what you sow. If you accept you were arrogant when on top, you'll understand why all the other teams were backing Bradford yesterday.
You could have been humble but you chose cocky.

As for Wakefield I'm never even convinced we are clear of relegation until its mathematically impossible.

A couple of years ago it was questionable whether you were good enough to still be in SL, that’s not wishing “ill will” just an opinion. As for “whipping boys” I know which poster used that term and he was a troll who would use that term against a number of clubs and would try wind up and insult Leeds just as much as any. 90% of poster would ignore him, that why they wouldn’t be disagreeing with him.

Like I said, people don’t see it when it’s themselves doing it. Trying to make out that you ‘only do it because we got it from you’ just highlights that. Just trying to make excuses and trying to justify it so as not to appear cocky or that you aren’t just exactly the same as any other set of fans when their team is being successful.

Perhaps if your club hadn't been so arrogant over the years, snatched up other club's up and coming stars, twisted the RFL round your grubby little fingers, and lorded it over all other clubs as though no one else in Super League existed, we might be a little more sympathetic with your current plight. Printer. I recall in the Sixties or early Seventies That for some reason or other Leeds were precluded from the Yorkshire Cup, and lo and behold the following season Leeds played and won the YC final ON THEIR OWN GROUND, (against us unfortunately). That's why the rest of the Rugby League's fans hate your lot so much. We're all just waiting to see how they change the relegation rules should Leeds finish bottom.

You don’t like us because of the success we’ve had over the years, simple as. Sports fans hate teams that pick up silverware because they’re jealous it’s not their club.

You were good now your crap, we were crap now we are fairly decent, is that so hard to accept. If knowing the above makes us ‘cocky’ then I can only apologise for us Wakey plebs not knowing our place

Personally, I think you're wrong here.
Any team that wins anything does so - 99% of the time - on merit. I think your problem is that as supporters of a said winning team, you couldn't help youurselves giving it large to us at Wakey - and other fans.
You do reap what you sow, so you have to accept a bit of stick coming your way now.
You are only as good as your [inext[/i game.
If you turn up with the attitude and play like you did yesterday, that game - and subsequent ones are going to be difficult.

LOL. I think you misunderstand. We are not cocky. We are just happy to ridicule a team's fans that has perennially looked down on us, sometimes unfairly. You won't find many if any threads on here where we think we'll easily beat any team.

Fun as this banter is, it isn't really what the thread is about so I think it's time to finish.

Not so, personally speaking, Printer. I didn't like Leeds RLFC back in the 50s, er when you were "whipping boys".

Is that why the "other" Leeds team are so hated?

RL & football, the rest of the country dislike Leeds. As a football fan & Wakefield watcher I've always thought that Leeds supporters of both sports are unbearably arrogant.

I'm told that it's a very nice city, but I've no desire to ever visit due to my perception of Leeds fans!

Funny that because Leeds United’s fans come from all over West Yorkshire/Yorkshire especially the Wakefield and Castleford areas which is always funny to see fans say the hate Leeds on a Friday night but then are supporting Leeds on a Saturday afternoon.

got naff all to do with your success, you haven't a fecking clue what its like to be a wakey fan but as usual your just guessing, I'm going to leave at that as I can see your heading for another melt down, take a week off as I will be, basking in the lovely sunshine knowing were through to the next round and your not

Leeds fans crying on Wakefield forum wanting attention. Giving them grief because we're jealous? No. Giving you grief because some snide, arrogant merchant bankers have been knocked off their perch and and can't handle it? Absolutely.

Give over pretending as if being a Wakefield fan is some sort of unique experience in sport. Only have to look at the constant dramas, struggles and kicks in the teeth Leeds United have had to see how silly that argument is. Every team sport where one or two teams dominate for a while you get rival fans who love it when they stop....rugby league is zero different in that regard.

A very pointless and increasingly silly and unpleasant debate going on here. I'm a Wakefield Trinity and Leeds United supporter. Am I arrogant and overbearing or nice and well adjusted depending on who I'm supporting that day?As a club Trinity are developing links with Leeds United that may be very helpful. There are a lot of Trinity fans who support Leeds United, so you are on a sticky wicket here.
I have or have had a number of issues with Leeds RL but don't hate them and do wish them well. Said issues; using the Leeds United song, their wretched drum and trumpet band and, more so the past, nicking or trying to nick our best players. And as a Leeds United fan, I can assure you, mine and most Leeds fans have had their expectations well adjusted over the last 15 years. The hatred you spout is just a convenient outlet to spout prejudice.

Its the same with Leeds United fans.
Giving it billy big you know whats with every other teams' fans in Yorkshire - proclaiming to be the "biggest team" and yet havent won anything [ior [/ibeen in the Prem for years.
And dont say that "this is their year" as they aren't there yet.
It boils down to - It must be a Leeds thing......

Personally I think mods should close this down now. It's a rugby league forum.

Printer on one again with his view of 'sets of fans' as a homogenous hive mind who all share the same brain? He's been at this for years - and it's just as boring (and false) now as it always has been.

I was supporting Bradford this weekend because of the underdog tag, and the JK cup magic narrative; in the end though, Bradford won it because they thoroughly deserved to - they showed more skill, fitness, heart and determination than an embarrassingly awful Leeds side, who stank the place out. Did I enjoy it a bit more because it was Leeds? For sure - largely because of the history of Leeds fans like Printer winding us up for many years.

I'm getting bored now.
Bradford won. We all enjoyed it. We don't have to explain why.
The Leeds fan didn't. He just has to live with it or let it go.
Nothing more to say.
