I hate 'em mate, always have, always will.
If you get rid of the enmity in football, you've lost it completely. Noones condoning any violence, I've certainly never been involved in any, but everyone loves the aways where you come out and there's police escorting you or you can't speak to your mates for fear of your accents giving you away - awesome. There was a good deal of fisticuffs after Bramall Lane - me and my friends ducked into the showroom to watch it all unfold whilst drinking franziskaner. That's literally the only actual violence I've ever seen watching Leeds. I just love the songs, the bravado, the identity and the culture of it all me.
