A lot of Leeds United fans are delighted with Liam Cooper’s quotes on supporting Leeds – especially because it has annoyed a lot of Hull City fans.
The 28-year-old was born in Hull but chose to support Leeds as a kid, and now he is their captain.
Speaking to the website about Leeds’ centenary, Cooper claimed that he had a choice of supporting Hull or Leeds and decided to choose the Whites.
This has gone down brilliantly with a lot of Leeds fans, but many Tigers supporters are not happy, and they are heavily abusing Cooper.
However, this is a fanbase that sings, “You’re getting mauled by the Tigers” complete with actions – so I think Cooper made the right choice picking Leeds.
Certainly, these Whites fans are happy with Cooper’s decision.

Loving the Hull fans being salty. Cooper had more sense. What’s the point of supporting a club that will always be in our shadow. ????

Obviously bitter about being a City reject and the club getting rid of him.

There are, however, quite a few Hull fans who have not taken too kindly to the 28-year-old’s quotes
