I suspect you are right. The grievance from 1975 was justified originally, but then became a "jokey", ironic chant. Of course we are aware we were never "Champions of Europe", but we certainly think we should have been in that particular year. I think that most people who saw the game back then, or who have seen footage later, would agree. Personally, think the "chant" is well-past it's use-by date and should have been consigned to the rubbish bin of history many years ago. Which is why I never chant it.

Wonderful, the comment "but we certainly think we should have been" sums you inbreds up to a tee. Always thinking you actually better than you are. When we played you at Bellend Road this season, I actually heard Leeds fans saying that you would walk away with this league this season. Time to get real, you are in the second tier of English football and not very good in that.

Have you watched the game? Nothing to do with "being better". Refereeing decisions. And the influence of a certain Mr Franz Beckenbauer. "Inbreds". "Bellend Road". My God, you're stupid.

I've already seen an example of your "banter", Joan. Or should I call you Mrs. "Holier Than Thou" as one of your fellow PNE supporters described you?

Ah but what you don’t know is, that poster likes to sing “we are superior” to other teams, so it’s a bit rich in a double standards kind of way, don’t you think? Moral is if you don’t want us to believe everything we see or read about you lot, practice what you preach.

Whatever you do Verloc, never ever, listen to, engage with, or tolerate anything to do with that character.
 
I was quite impressed with Leeds on Tuesday night despite their injury crisis. They were far better than the team that played us earlier at Elland Road. No 45 looked a real talent and overall Leeds passed the ball better than us. A soft penalty and a couple of good saves from Rudd swung the match in our favour imo. I will put a bet on them making at least the playoffs next season.

You are quite right, Verloc. Fans of a certain age will recall that Leeds were denied a certain penalty in the first half and in the second half a goal, which to this day, nobody really knows the reason as to why it was disallowed. Leeds were undoubtedly cheated out of the 1975 European Cup Final as they were cheated out of the 1973 European Cup Winners' Cup against AC Milan. They were maybe hated in the late 60s and the early to mid 70s but they were a class outfit full of wonderful players. However as you state, it is time to move on with the aforementioned chant.

I don’t think they were anywhere near the worst team at Deepdale this season but, I thought the penalty was stonewall as did their management, and we deserved the win overall in my view.

I really don't understand why some supporters take such exception to us singing that fun song. Is it also wrong to sing "And it's Preston North End FC... by far the greatest team, the world has ever seen"?

Must say that on the highlights, from the (not very helpful) camera angle, I thought Bodin went down very easily - but there was not the remotest sign of protest from the defender who committed the foul, nor his team mates. So you must be right.

You miss the point totally about the song. Whilst I personally dislike it, I was trying to show a double standard but hey never mind.

As for the penalty I listened to their manager who thought it was a correct decision and, so far as I can see the only ones claiming it was soft are our fans on here! Oh well, I respect your opinion.

...an opinion formed from an "unhelpful" camera angle, and quickly rejected when I saw the reaction of the Leeds players.

I always regarded that song as reserved for when we play Burnley and refers to life in general rather than football
