1. Yeah, Leeds loitering in the lower divisions has been a particular highlight for me these past few years, long may it continue.
2. As for the rivalry I have a story when I was at Uni (Leicester) we went to Leeds for the weekend with some mates. After we came out of a club we started walking to get kebab (as you do) and in a side street we saw a group of people shouting and gesticulating. When we went nearer we saw a group of about 10 people in a threatening circle around two poor guys. One was wearing a red t-shirt and they were screaming at him that he's ******* manu and the like and him and his mate were pleading with them trying to explain that they were not UTD supporters/from Manchester. We beat a hasty retreat and rang the police but it was shocking ...
3. But Leeds are not and never have been our rivals. Despite what you may think.
4. Personally I hate LFC more than almost anything ...
He isn't God. And I wouldnt have him anywhere near the club. And pretty sure the players had a big hand in this too.
Lol, northerners are silly.
Hmm. Might disagree with you on that one.

I'd really disagree Leeds/Man U rivalry is intense on both sides I've seen with my own eyes when I've been to old Trafford and know many fans from both teams. Also it goes back way older than football when the house of York and the house of Lancaster warred for the English throne so I would despite what you may think the Leeds/Man U rivalry is one. Why do you think there was such an outcry from Leeds fans when we sold you cantona? You may personally hate Liverpool more but it is certainly a rivalry. It may have tempered somewhat since our demise but believe you and me the day we are back in the premiership the rivalry will be reignited as mike said it's written in the blood
Every team has a hated rival along with a geographical one. For example, Palace have Brighton as a hated rival and Millwall as a geographical one (though it's kinda impossible not to hate Millwall anyway).
United has City as a geographical rival, Leeds as a hated one, and Liverpool as a mixture of both.

You must be about 12 to think this haha.
Didn't even play that badly! Just got beaten by the better team. We got Yaya'd.
well a few teames have had that done to them this season
Indeed you might. I mean I know the (non football) history, but in football mate we are and mostly have been for some time now on a different planet (tho those cup defeats were annoying I grant you that)
And its this hatred I wanted to show with that story I mentioned ...

Leeds United A.F.C.?€“Manchester United F.C. rivalry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
never have been? the 70's say different. Leeds and Man United were massive rivals, always have been, just because divisions now keep you apart the rivalry doesnt stop.

Not yet, but Pardew has a nice long contract...
Obviously calling him 'god' goes too far but if he is the first one to be criticized whenever Chelsea screw up then it's only logical that he should be the first one to be praised when Chelsea win
Erm, how would I know - profuse apologies ...
