If you look at the experience of Millwall, Huddersfield and Barnsley after their Cup Final exertions, it would seem wise to put a few quid on a losing run for the Wendies now. It’ll be interesting to see how they go.

Not only do I have to contend with Huddersfield Town thugs in my family, my elder brother is a Wednesday fan.
Suffice to say, I shall not be living Saturday’s result down until the next ice age.
Pretty sure he will have a pallet of these mugs coming this week.
Woe is me, but I am Leeds, we will bounce back and mock them when they get relegated.

As a leeds fan it does concern me that the more we accept derby day defeats with the old, “we dont care about you” mentality, the more they seem to happen, why don’t we see them as cup finals, are we too good for that ? League table suggests not.

I don’t think you choose a complex – more like it chooses you. There’s a state of mind between Leeds and the smaller Yorkshire clubs; it’s just the way things are. What United DO have to do is learn to deal with it.
This has been the point of the various “Cup Final Syndrome” pieces I’ve written. I’ve not just been aiming to take the mick. It’s a real issue for Leeds and a big negative effect on our performance over a season.

I think it may be more to do with us having more away fans than anyone else in the Crapship. They all want to beat us, not just the Barnsleys and Wendies.

We beat ourselves Mick – the final table will tell which is the better of us and the Wendies. Meanwhile, I’ll continue to poke fun at the obsessive behaviour of such classless clubs and their desperate fans.

Regardless of whether “we beat ourselves” Rob,the result was 6-0 and we’re not in a position to poke fun at them. You “can do” and “have done” much better blogs than this,don’t spoil it by being spiteful. I’m not suggesting this blog should be as dull as the “Clarke one nil” site and its offshoots but lets all just man up and accept we got well beaten and hope for change.

I contend that we’re ALWAYS in a position to poke fun at the Wendies, and anyone who hates us so much without getting any hatred back. I honestly find it funny. Just indulge me here, sometimes I write to amuse myself – it’s not compulsory to read it 🙂

Although SW played ok, we made them look good with our complete lack of cohesion, no idea of how to play while in possession, no fire in the belly, LCFC is looming God help us as this squad certainly can’t. Bet RM wished he’d moved on when he had the chance ( wouldn’t blamed him if he manufactures a move ) and poor old BM must be wandering what the hell he’s got himself into

Small club syndrome, lads. Let them milk it while they can.
Let’s hope we can get sorted for Leicester and get thiings on track. If I remember correctly, we got spanked by Burnley in the 1974 League title-winning season.
Main thing is to sort things and get over it, traumatic as last Saturday wasa.

Wednesday are a little club with ideas above their station. They were eclipsed by us decades ago. They should try building a decent team.
The fans of these clubs only care about beating us in particular because we have more fans than anyone else and the air of one of England’s top ten clubs about us.
The Wendies only real rivals are those also-rans at Sheffield Utd, our occasional feeder club, unless you count the rag-tag of minor league Yorkshire clubs or those Johnny-Come-Lately over-subsidised Tiggers. Leeds are in a one club major city and thus have no rivals other than the ones acquired during the years of success – Scum, Chelscum, Liverpool and Arsenal, basically, as far as I’m concerned (2 of whom I hate and 2 of whom I like – a bit).
Wendy Fans = Trolls = Ignore with disdain.

I feel I should put another viewpoint forward on this Rob. I own, and still wear from time to time, a beautifully designed black t-shirt commemorating our wonderful victory on the 3rd of January, 2010 over those little red devils over the hills which also included on the reverse that favoured little ditty, ” we’re not famous anymore”.
Now having read this, I feel that this may too have been born out of similar emotions that have overrun our South Yorkshire neighbours.But frankly I don’t care. I will continue to enjoy wearing this as and when the notion grabs me, and on the same basis feel it hard to contradict the wendies for the ability to now enjoy the odd (or more likely EVERY) cuppa on the same basis.

I’ve got one of those, too! Happily, I’ve seen us beat the scum a good few times, but this is the only occasion I bought a commemorative t-shirt or, indeed, saw one offered for sale. It was to mark the occasion when, as a third division team, we went to the home of the champions and won, booting Taggart out of the cup at the first time of asking as nobody had done before.
That occasion, and the Wendies winning a Yorkshire derby game that we never turned up to, have about as much in common as Don Revie and Neil Warnock.

This CUP final syndrome is increasingly becoming tiresome, it’s about time Leeds players developed the ‘Bloody minded Bastards’ attitude that saw both Don Revies team and Ray Illingworths Yorkshire cricket team never ever outfought
It is acceptable to be out played by the occasional better side but not acceptable to be continually outfought by clubs whose league status demonstrates their inferiority. To my mind, the mental strength of our players is in question and is an issue to be considered when BMcD is recruiting.
