OPINION
Leeds owner Andrea Radrizzani let rip with an extraordinary broadside against Bristol City after his side’s 1-0 win at Ashton Gate on Saturday, and many Leeds fans were right behind him. Bad blood has been brewing after Bristol City owner Steve Lansdown called for a points deduction for Leeds after the spygate scandal – something that left the Leeds’ fans fuming. In the end, the matter was settled with a £200,000 fine.
Radrizzani sent a furious Twitter message berating Bristol City on two counts – firstly for ejecting a family from the stadium as the two children were wearing Leeds socks in the home end, and secondly for refusing access to the Leeds camera crew who are filming for a documentary.
Radrizzani sent a tweet on Sunday saying the actions of Bristol City were “Unacceptable” and said “What can you expect from a club whom request points deductions for no reasons”. He rounded off the angry message by saying “Focus on Reading now.”
This is unacceptable and we will invite the family at Elland Road as guests. what can you expect from a club whom request points deductions for no reasons and didn’t accept our documentary crew to access at the ground and follow our team. Focus on Reading now #mot ?? https://t.co/ajOZaVDYZ6

It is totally unacceptable. In the end this about jealousy and envy. These clubs love to knock us as they have achieved very little. #lufc #MOT
