BBC commentator shares what Leeds United fans were singing in 3-0 win v Cardiff City
Leeds United fans were making fun of the Cardiff fans for losing their “Cup Final” while they crushed them 3-0 at the Cardiff City Stadium, according to BBC pundit Adam Pope.
In South Wales, Leeds were dominating. Goals were scored by Patrick Bamford, Daniel James, and Georginio Rutter, and there was a chance for many more as James struck the crossbar and Crysencio Summerville missed a penalty.
The victory would have been especially sweet for Joe Rodon and James, the former Swansea players who endured taunts from their opponents during the entire match while Leeds supporters celebrated in the stands.
“Three nil in your Cup Final,” the Leeds supporters sing, according to Pope, who was speaking live on BBC Radio Leeds on January 13 at 16:57.
“And since there are more than 3000 of them here, the noise level is very high. That will do just fine—a thrashing of Cardiff on their home field—but there could have been much more given the missing one-on-one, penalty, and crossbar.
Leeds fans can be relentless
Daniel Farke’s team had an ideal day, winning the league by a score of 3-0 for the second time in a row while making it appear simple despite a few lost opportunities. The players and supporters in Cardiff were able to appreciate a commanding performance.
Supported by a traditionally robust away crowd, those players gave it everything they had, just as the spectators did, to help them secure all three points—not that they needed much convincing, considering the amount of skill and confidence on display in South Wales.
It must have been a nice experience for the opposition, players or fans alike, to have 3000 Leeds supporters singing in the away end. They waited long after the final whistle, taunting their opponents by going through their list of music.
For the Yorkshire club, who made a strong comeback to league play with this decisive win, it was a fantastic day all around. They will now aim to continue moving forward for many more days like this one.

Daniel Farke reveals secret Leeds United squad issue which makes Cardiff City win more impressive
After disclosing the challenging preparation that went into his Leeds United team’s 3-0 victory over Cardiff City, Daniel Farke lavished praise on his team. The Leeds game in South Wales was dubbed the “most mature performance of the season” by Farke, and nobody who witnessed it could contest that. The Leeds United manager was overjoyed with his team’s 3-0 victory over Cardiff City.
The Whites had a terrific afternoon, made even better by a late goal from Georginio Rutter two minutes from time. Patrick Bamford and Dan James had put the team up two goals at the half. Farke revealed that the team had practiced with just 16 players in the days before the game because of a mix of departures and injuries, so the performance disguised what was a disturbed build-up to the game.
This may have been the case, but the team that was chosen made a convincing case for being included, making the usually unflappable manager smile.
“For me it was our most mature performance of the season. We’ve had electrifying performances at home but Cardiff is a difficult place to come so to be so in control, overall I’m pretty happy. We kept them totally quiet,” said Farke.
“The win was never in doubt and I was especially pleased with the control. Sometimes when you’re 2-0 in the lead you feel too comfortable but we stayed with our foot on the gas.
“Outgoings and some injuries make this hardly not unbelievable completion for places at the moment. We trained all week with 16 players. Some players were out of position. Ampadu was outstanding out of position at centre back.
