Retained list shows lack of clarity on manager situation
With no one outside of the Leeds United circle of confidentiality sure who is actually calling the shots, the way in which the retained player situation was handled (and the subsequent social media frenzy) was rather telling. As it turns out, the retained list was done by someone other than Brian. Jamie Ashdown 'couldn't of […]

Bloodbath expected at Leeds as Massimo tightens the belt
Change is coming to Elland Road; Italian madman Massimo Cellino has been typically vocal about the financial mess he’s bought into at Leeds and fans should not expect him to be splashing the cash. Not yet, at least. Debt, sustainability and gold plates Fuhrer Cellino has to be the bad guy in this instance and […]

Rubbish season ends with stalemate at Derby

It’s the final match of the season against our favourite bogey-boys Derby. On the plus side, we didn’t […]

Luke Murphy brace celebrates 12 months of McD
Paradoxical to a broken clock being correct twice a day, Leeds do occasionally find it within themselves to win a match of football. Today was no exception; the defining factor in this incisive victory? No, it wasn’t Luke Murphy or the much-talked-about contents of his shorts. Blackpool were just worse than us. A victory on […]

Nothing to play for at Watford
With an increasingly busy end of season for me away from Leeds, this was my last match of the season. And what a way to typify a disappointing (even by our standards) season. Bolton, Reading, Burnley, Bournemouth, Doncaster, Charlton and Wigan had comfortably beaten us in the last 8 matches, with only a cheeky (if […]

Comedic defending gifts Derby a 10th win over Leeds
Despite the scorline ending 3-1, the nature of this defeat was so much worse than the numerical representation could ever show. The statistics might show that we had more possession and a comparable amount of shots – what they won’t convey is how utterly hopeless this Leeds team were today. Derby, our old foe We’re […]

Late goal hurts toothless Leeds
How fortuitous; a player I’ve ofted wanted at Leeds once again acting the super-sub to score a soft goal at the death. My first away match of the season ended in disappointment. Not only were we not really “at the races”, in that I can’t recall us ever threatening to take all 3 points, but […]
