Most Leeds United fans were enjoying victory over Ipswich Town yesterday evening, but Derby County also took victory over West Bromwich Albion and someone on the clubs’ social media team was in a particularly cheeky mood and got into a little spat with former One Directioner Niall Horan over his Derby praise.
Apparently, he has a solo career – I’m assuming I have better taste in music.
The story goes a fan asked him about his thoughts on Leeds and not for the first time, he gave those thoughts but he probably wasn’t expecting what followed.
No one likes your solo career #BringBack1D https://t.co/PLu0p216pl

Matters then seemed to take on a life of their own as various fans, not just members of the Elland Road faithful got involved. If you’ve got the time to follow the lot, and I haven’t, you’ll see some cracking comments.
This is a MASSIVE W right there

Who is Niall Horan? @NiallOfficial

By originated, you mean manufactured? Leeds on the other hand, evolved and will be around when Niall has long gone.
