Some Leeds United fans on Twitter baffled at Sheffield United's 'obsessed' celebrations

Sheffield United beat Leeds United to promotion in the Championship this season. They, along with Norwich City, lasted the course better than Leeds who will now have to go through the rigmarole of the play-offs.

The Blades deserve their automatic promotion after some sensational form since the turn of the year.

However, some Leeds fans are getting pretty fed up with the way their South Yorkshire counterparts have been celebrating.

Filmed on their bus parade this week by Sky Sports News, some Sheffield United players were seen singing ‘Leeds Are Falling Apart’ to the tune of Joy Division’s seminal classic ‘Love Will Tear Us Apart’.

Acting in the spirit of the game and respecting other teams? #lufc pic.twitter.com/04cb6b4YQ1

Leeds fans were left questioning why on earth, at a promotion party, their league rivals were singing about them and not just enjoying their moment.

On the day Sheffield United won promotion, manager Chris Wilder was filmed calling Adam Forshaw and Patrick Bamford muppets, something which also left Leeds United fans miffed.

The Blades players, again, appear to be heavily lager lubricated, which may explain things slightly.

But Leeds fans on Twitter seem to suggest that teams are simply obsessed with them, rather than just enjoying their own success…

Another team obsessed with us

It’s ok if you have no class. It started with the manager calling our players muppets, it’s only to be expected his players do it. Thank god we have Bielsa, more class in his big toe than Wilder will have had in his lifetime.

LOL. Thought their derby was the other Sheffield team?
Why bother chanting about Leeds.. ?
Pretty sure we wouldn’t be chanting about them on our promotion parade.

Haha, this is what I was getting at the other week. It’s pathetic. More interested in Leeds failing than celebrating their own team/club just because their great great grandad once said they hated Leeds back in the 1800s.

Am I mistaken, but didn’t Billy Sharp once say he would walk to Leeds to play for us ?
