LEEDS, England -- Elland Road had waited 19 years for a Premier League clash between Leeds United and Manchester United in front of supporters...

This game showed the good, the bad and the ugly of this bitter rivalry...

And there were also unsavoury scenes off the pitch, with objects thrown at various Man United goal scorers -- Anthony Elanga was hit on the head...

There were instances of Leeds supporters singing about the Munich disaster, a 1958 plane crash in which eight Man United players were killed, and waving arms to mimic an aeroplane. [United] supporters responded with songs about two Leeds fans who were stabbed to death in Istanbul prior to a fixture against Galatasaray in 2000.

Can you believe that shit?

 This, sadly, is the reality of a Leeds-Man United rivalry that was in cold storage for so long....

 ...[This] Elland Road meeting with fans saw 900 police on duty, a record number for a Premier League fixture. It has become the norm that Man United are subjected to more hostility when they visit Leeds than at Liverpool or Manchester City.

There is a historical regional rivalry dating back to the 15th century Wars of the Roses between Yorkshire and Lancashire... 

They're fighting the 15th century War of the Roses!

In football terms, the enmity stems more from Leeds supporters' long-standing grievance that their great team of the 1960s and 1970s never received the acclaim they perceive to have been showered on more glamorous Man United sides.

Well, you did got bankrupt. That could be one reason.

Leeds have never forgiven Eric Cantona for moving to Old Trafford in 1992. ...

Or for the '60's and '70's or for the 15th century. Leeds, United, you can just suck my fucking dick you brain-dead cretins.
