That, and the fact that Leeds kept on singing their support despite losing heavily again, was probably the only ways the support could be praised.
The Football Association has launched an investigation into an alleged racist incident after Arsenal substitute Rob Holding approached the fourth official in the 33rd minute, saying he had heard racial abuse from a Leeds supporter.
Play was halted as referee Andre Mariner consulted with match officials and one arrest was made.
Leeds condemned the incident in a statement released after the game.
It said: “Racism will not be tolerated at Leeds United and any supporter found to be using racist language will be subject to a lifetime ban for all Leeds United games.”
Leeds have now lost their past three Premier League games and sit just five points above the relegation zone.
As mentioned, Twitter users couldn’t help but react as Leeds fans go viral with their X-rated chant about Boris Johnson…

The Prime Minister has considered calls for a national lockdown beginning as soon as the 27th of December, according to reports.
Boris Johnson has been weighing up a “sliding scale” of new Covid-19 restrictions, The Telegraph reports.
Health Secretary Sajid Javid has warned that ministers may be forced to introduce new measures on the basis of “early and patchy” data, the paper goes on.
The Times state that further restrictions could be ‘introduced between Christmas and the new year’ and that an announcement could be made on Boxing Day, with measures potentially starting on that day.
When asked about a possible tightening of restrictions after Christmas, a Government spokesman said they will “continue to look closely at all data and keep our measures under review”.
Concerns are mounting over a surge in a number of Covid cases as the Omicron variant sweeps across Britain. A further 90,418 lab-confirmed Covid-19 cases have been recorded in the UK as of 9am on Saturday.
Scientific advisers to the Government said hospital admissions with the variant in the UK are “probably around one tenth of the true number” due to a lag in reporting.
However following the video which show Downing Street staff joking in leaked recording about last year’s Christmas party they later denied, there is now a backlash for the public.
Earlier this month, Gary Neville tore into Boris Johnson, declaring there is “no chance” the PM will get away with a potential breach of coronavirus regulations by gathering with “cronies”.
As revealed by the Daily Mirror, Boris gave a speech at a leaving party for a top aide in November, during the United Kingdom’s second lockdown.
He then held a Christmas event in December, when London was under tier three restrictions, which was attended by up to 40 or 50 colleagues as the rest of the capital stayed home to avoid spreading the virus.
Johnson hasn’t denied the parties occurred but he has insisted no rules were broken.
G Nev has hit out, not accepting this claim and expressed his outrage at Johnson’s behaviour at a time of “misery” and loneliness for much of the country, with families and friends prevented from seeing each other at the time.

He wrote on Twitter : “Are we really going to let this Number 10 party go? No chance! Last Xmas was a misery. Listening to him (Johnson) standing up there telling us what we couldn’t do.
“Families not seeing each other, loved ones dying alone. Whilst him and his cronies party in a tax payer funded residence!”
In a second tweet, Neville tagged the Labour Party, Liberal Democrats and Scottish National Party to demand action, writing: “Hi @UKLabour, @LibDems, @theSNP.
“Drop everything you’re doing and concentrate on accountability on this Party and the MPs lying to defend him. Enough!”
EFL chairman Rick Parry says there is no scientific evidence in favour of temporarily halting the 2021-22 season despite rising cases resulting in mass postponements.
In the three divisions below the Premier League, 19 of its 36 games were called off due this weekend.
Only four of the scheduled 10 Premier League games are going ahead with some called off announced just hours before getting underway, causing further inconvenience for travelling fans.
Brentford manager Thomas Frank wants a circuit breaker to allow the infection rate to stabilise and extra precautions at clubs to take effect.
However, Parry said there was no evidence to suggest the situation will improve fast as the UK posts record numbers of positive cases in each of the last three days.
“If we think a circuit breaker will help we will do it but, at the moment, there’s no scientific evidence to suggest that it will help,” Parry told the BBC.
“We’ve got to stick together, stay calm and keep making balanced decisions on the basis of the latest information.”

Full crowds are still allowed at matches that do go ahead in England, but supporters have to show proof of vaccination or a negative test at stadiums with over a 10,000 capacity.
A big rise in the numbers of cases have seen calls for more restrictions to be put in place by the government.
London mayor Sadiq Khan on Saturday declared a “major incident” in the capital due to the tide of infections.
Parry admitted that the decision to stop the campaign may soon be taken out of the football authorities hands however.
Football in England was halted for three months between March and June 2020 when the pandemic first came about.
“There’s talk of the government having a two-week lockdown after Christmas so maybe that will be taken out of our hands,” adds Parry.
“We are getting more information listening to the scientists, they need more data to try to work out exactly where we are going with this new strain. It is too early to tell.
“Next week we might be in a different position.”
