Man mountain Marshall keeps Leeds at bay

It’s becoming a frustratingly familiar story with Leeds in recent weeks; playing well without killing off teams and dropping points as a result. With Cardiff in town, whom we still haven’t beaten in a run stretching back over 25 years, Leeds lined up with no changes from the side which narrowly lost to Birmingham in … Continue reading →

Shocking news: Ref ruins game. Leeds lose.

Scuse the dust.. Well, it’s back. Properly. Championship football at Elland Road has kicked off with the same promise and expecta.. Oh ok, the same depressingly familiar sinking feeling; seeing only the development of the East Stand boxes instead of the progress of the team. Pre-match saw the ‘minority’/’dissidents’/’morons’ (select as appropriate) come together in … Continue reading →

Objective achieved. Misson success. Feelings? Well, what might have been.

This sort of end-of-season review is a week early, but owing to work commitments, I can’t make the last match of the season and I obviously have nothing better to do at the moment so I’ve hammered out over 3,000 words about our season… It could’ve been a whole lot more.

I didn’t expect us to get anything from today; I know I live for being … Continue reading →

Tale of two halves (and one decision) as Leeds overcome Forest

Leeds overcome defensive frailties to put Donny to the sword

After the bitterly disappointing result at Swansea, Leeds finally got the play-off push back on track, beating Doncaster Rovers in a match which served mostly to highlight the utter lack of defensive abilities of both teams. Bradley Johnson came back into the side after his suspension cost Leeds dear at Swansea, while Leigh Bromby replaced … Continue reading →

How to shoot ones-self in ones foot. By Leeds United.

Much like a broken record, Leeds’ pitiful defensive record is becoming extremely irksome, one which continued in spectacular fashion against Barnsley at Elland Road. After the humiliating 5-2 reverse at Oakwell, it was time for revenge. Except Barnsley hadn’t read the script and soon pooped on the party; less than two minutes were on the … Continue reading →
