Brian Reade in today's Mirror cites why Leeds should be in the Prem. The reasons could

apply to some of our fans too.

His comments are made having watched the Leeds v Arsenal game midweek....

"Anyone watching the Arsenal FA Cup tie must surely conclude that a club of its history & size has been away for too long.

Proof of that comes with listening to the fans. I'm not talking about the noise they unleashed throughout the game but the quality of it.

"1-0 and you still don't sing" they chanted at the Arsenal fans who had admirably filled away end, followed by "your support is ******* s**t" and the constant "you're s**t aaaaaaagh" when the keeper took goal kicks.

Evidence that Leeds have been out of the big time so long that their fans have caught Lower League-itis. The debilitating condition that cripples the imagination and leaves fans singing the kind of banal dirges belted out by a mini bus full of Carlisle fans en route to Bristol.

Hurry back soon Leeds before you're heard chanting "I'm Leeds until I die, I'm leeds until I die, I know I am, I'm sure I am, I'm Leeds until I die"

At which point you'd be better off dead"
