But we don't care. Sad that other fans find us a bigger club than what they are. I love it.....Must be awful supporting a tin pot club....so I do understand their need to Covet what they see at Leeds Utd.

No doubt they will have to look up the word Covet.

After listening to a few video reactions the main complaint from the fans or the most consistent was the Wembley atmosphere was rubbish.

The Southampton fans had one song which they sang all the time, whereas the Leeds fans were singing three different songs in different parts of the stadium, and it was all disjointed, much like the team. There was no unity both in the singing and the playing.

I could well imagine the confusion the players felt hearing different songs depending where they were on the pitch... confusion and chaos... and it was reflected in their game. I think Heidi even mentioned it on her blog.

I had the thought from the Silmarillion that the Gods sang the worlds into existence, that something beautiful was created through song... but the evil one wanted to have his own song, so there was a battle of song in heaven... the disjointed cacophony of song from the Leeds fans, in some way contributed to the defeat.

The lack of unity in the singing was a metaphor for what happened on the pitch.

And that is the metaphysical reason for our defeat.

I am also reminded of the Duel in the Swamp where singing is used to achieve victory over an opponent.

The Kalevala, an epic poem from Finland, tells the story of Väinämöinen, a legendary singer and musician, who is known for his magical singing abilities.

In one famous episode, Väinämöinen engages in a singing duel with Joukahainen, a young and arrogant singer.

The duel takes place in a swamp, where Väinämöinen
uses his singing to transform the swamp into a treacherous and deadly environment for Joukahainen.

I am afraid Southampton sang Leeds into a swamp.

I felt the players hurt & sad emotions as they stood in a line facing the Leeds fans, minutes after the final whistle.

I couldn't believe how many of our fans turned their backs on our players & left the stadium like a sinking ship.

I think at 12 bore shot gun would be most effective.

As a neutral, if you had played like you did against Norwich, you would have won by a Country mile. See you again at Home Park next season. Good Luck

You are the definition of a tin pot club. Most delusional fans. Your support is w**k for the size and population of your city. Your team has been w**k most of the 40 years I've been alive and even the few good years you had it was from overspending and fucked you hard when it went tits up. Leeds are a nothing club. Been to elland road a few times it's like the Liverpool. Shite no atmosphere and speakers turned on because you've got proper hardcore plastic supporters. 🖕 f**k off and rot away. You really are shite

Steve Cooper would also be an option, but I expect they will stick with Farke.

Especially as they gave him a five year deal and won't want to add a pay off sum to our debts.

Cheers Kev 😀

As Farke keeps reminding us we won the trophy 🏆 for getting 90 points and not being promoted.

Hell of an achievement 🙌

Giving him that length of contract was ridiculous and proudly saying "he interviewed us" showed how wrong our recruitment process was.

He was a manager living off success 3 years prior who in 6 seasons as a manager has had 2 good ones, could have been or was sacked in the other 4.

Tinpot mentality and symptomatic of an inexperienced and ill prepared ownership.

He should have got a 2 year one with an option for a 3rd at most.

Now stuck with him in all liklihood

Can't be Leicester as they create no atmosphere whatsoever going from the several times I've attended the King Power Stadium, they weren't that good at Filbert Street.

Apparently he's into welding.
