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. We should have seen it coming; after all the League Two side had Mark Wright, Reality King, waiting to pounce from the bench, all tan and teeth. Much like […]

In his latest column for the YEP, poet and Leeds United fan Matt Abbott says he’ll be raising a glass to the club’s owner on the fourth annniversary of his investment in the club. Don’t get me wrong. That battering at Old Trafford was painful. And I’m not talking 4-1 at Selhurst Park painful. I’m talking Karel Poborský in 1996 levels. When the primary school playground was full of glory-hunting […]

Kaiser Chief and Leeds United fan Simon Rix on how we’ve all learned to speak Bielsa. As we wave bye-bye to 2020 it’s safe to say it’s not a year that anyone will forget anytime soon-particularly not for us Leeds fans. Pablo’s magic at Swansea, the agony of Barnsley, and the celebrations at Derby may already seem like a million years ago- but the scores, the players and the emotions […]

As his teammates congratulate him, Pep Guardiola grimaces and reassesses his tactics. Manchester City’s layers sluggishly lump the ball up-field for the restart. And during the closing period of a blistering encounter,we almost come out on top. The stuff of dreams […]

LUTV presenter Emma Jones brings us her latest exclusive column for the YEP on Leeds United in the Premier League. It’s been tricky to sum up how I feel about the defeat to Leicester City on Monday night. It’s always disappointing to lose any game, but some context helped ease any frustration. The Foxes are clearly a very good side, we missed some key players and we are still in […]

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 opening four fixtures. Particularly when we also faced billionaire outfit Manchester City. And as we’ve […]

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 Premier League. Not many of us could have predicted the start the team have made. […]

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. This week, someone asked me to write about last year’s gig at Elland Road for a book about Leeds United.
