Kaiser Chief Simon Rix brings us his latest exclusive column for the YEP on his beloved Leeds United. On a WhatsApp group I’m part of, we’re currently naming Leeds players with two or more Bs in their name- it’s Habib Habibou’s fault, and we’ve currently got to 20. We must be bored. 2021 hasn’t really […]
After a season that has oftentimes resembled a dream, Leeds United were brought crashing back down to reality last weekend in a dismal FA Cup drubbing at the hands of lowly Crawley Town, writes TV presenter and Whites fan Ben Shires.

LUTV presenter Emma Jones brings us her latest exclusive column for the YEP on Leeds United in the Premier League.

The Premier League champions’ 7-2 humiliation at Villa Park shed a new light on our epic opener. It brought a twinge of doubt: should we be sat here on eight points, rather than seven? Were Klopp’s men there for the taking? But any of us would’ve been over the moon with seven points from our […]
In her latest column for the YEP, LUTV presenter Emma Jones doesn’t know how to feel about Leeds becoming everyone’s second favourite team. I mentioned in my last article, written before the season began, that the focus would now have to shift away from promotion and towards how Leeds United pick up points in the […]
In his latest We’re All Leeds Aren’t We column, Kaiser Chief Simon Rix shares the ongoing frustration of all supporters currently missing their second home.
