Fans of Leeds United have been reacting to a post on Twitter, which highlights a conversation between TalkSPORT’s Alan Brazil and Ally McCoist, who claim that Leeds are becoming football fans’ ‘second team’.
In the audio clip, which was posted by the TalkSPORT Twitter account, Brazil and McCoist rave about Leeds’ performance against Manchester City, before Brazil goes on to state that “a lot of people have Leeds, now, as their second team.”
In reaction to this claim, fans of Leeds have flocked to Twitter to have their say on the matter, with many suggesting that Brazil’s comments are nonsense.
No they are my 1st team, my only team #Lufc https://t.co/uz8yl03rMC

I find the idea of a '2nd team' ridiculous in the first place, but the idea of non-Leeds fans leering over us even worse.
We have been hated for so long that it's part of being Leeds. It's one of the most enjoyable things about being a Leeds fan. #LUFC https://t.co/FPmXCW76Qz

While some of these Leeds fans appear to be against the idea of people liking their club, it is not difficult to see why Brazil and McCoist have suggested that Marcelo Bielsa’s club are indeed likeable.
So far this season, the club have participated in some thrilling fixtures, including a 4-3 loss to Premier League champions Liverpool in their opening game of the season, a 4-3 victory against Fulham and an entertaining 1-1 draw with Manchester City.
Do you still think that everyone hates Leeds?
Yes
No
However, it would appear that many more Leeds fans are against the idea of people choosing their club as their “second team”, with a great deal more taking to Twitter to air their displeasure at Brazil’s remarks.
Ha ha its OK… Phew! Everyone still hates us. Check out this thread my #LeedsUnited family. They talk whether they love us or hate us but they can't seem to keep our fab clubs name outta their mouths. LOL! #lufc #MOT https://t.co/75xhzchIFi

Dear everyone but Leeds fans. We don’t want to be your second team. Please hate us. Thanks x https://t.co/DMMWtRlhTR

All in all, it would appear that these Leeds fans are very much against the idea of people liking their side, as they seem to enjoy the element of other clubs hating them.
