Er..... yes that IS disrespectful. Blade on Deedar FM tonight, but our fans do it too. It's really cringey. Almost as bad as getting all superior about crowds, away followings etc.
Depends why they're saying it surely. If they mean because historically another team was in a lower division then its disrespectful. If they mean it for reasons relating to that season then isn't it just fact?
Blades fan on Deedar was talking about Fleetwood. He even said, "I know they've been playing well this season". So basically, it's because they're "little Fleetwood". Totally condescending.
