Well, where do we start? That’s been some week even by Leeds United’s standards. We lose 4-0 at home to Tottenham, Marcelo departs, a new
Well, where do we start? That’s been some week even by Leeds United’s standards. We lose 4-0 at home to Tottenham, Marcelo departs, a new
Okay, the alarm bells are starting to ring. I’ve long been of the opinion that Leeds would head towards the end of the season in

A midweek one for you for tomorrow? I’ll do a preview as well for Friday… This is the one we’ve all waited for. Let’s be
Don’t let me make any predictions again in the future. The last thing I saw coming at Everton on Saturday was a tame 3-0 defeat.
It’s back to it this weekend at a ground which holds mixed memories for me. After playing at Villa Park on Wednesday, we’re at Goodison
Just when you thought things were starting to come together, up steps Jonjo Shelvey to score with a shocker of a free-kick, and we are
That was more like it. It was like turning the clock back 12 months on Sunday watching the West Ham game. For the first time
That was harsh on Leeds at the weekend. The FA Cup might not be the top of everyone’s priority list, but I thought we were
What a way to start the new year that was! We all knew Burnley was a huge game, but to go and beat them in
After beating Palace in midweek, we’ve got another great opportunity coming up on Sunday now. A month or so ago, Brentford at Elland Road wouldn’t
If seasons are defined by single moments, then they don’t come much bigger than that one on Tuesday. When VAR intervened over the penalty shout
The gaping holes in the squad that has served us so well over the past few years showed themselves again in all their glory at
Well, that suddenly changed the picture a bit. To say we were sitting comfortably 48 hours ago would be an overstatement, but it’s fair to
A home point against Leicester City was a good way for Leeds to sign off for the international break, but there was something even bigger
I’ve been one of his biggest critics, but Rodrigo may well have struck the most important goal of our season on Sunday. Okay, it was
We keep saying it, but tomorrow is a huge game for Leeds United. Win and we could open some real daylight between us and the
I said we’d nothing to lose on Tuesday at Arsenal, but what did we gain? Well, the big thing was that Kalvin Phillips demonstrated his
As far as I see it, we have a free hit at Arsenal tonight. We go there with nothing to lose but have plenty to

It’s back to business tomorrow for Leeds United. The trip to Southampton offers up a real opportunity for us to build on the win against
So, it’s back to square one again after Saturday. After finally gaining that first win against Watford before the international break you hoped we could

Get in! That was just what we needed on Saturday. It wasn’t pretty and it wasn’t convincing, but that doesn’t matter. We needed a win
As sucker punches go, you can’t say that the one Michail Antonio landed on Saturday didn’t hurt. I thought we perhaps saw the best and
Right, we’ve got two huge games coming up at Elland Road now and we all have a part to play. We need to get that
It’s Fulham tonight and it’ll be interesting to see how we approach the game. With two huge home games coming up against West Ham and

For the first time in a long time, you could feel the sense of disappointment at Elland Road on Sunday after the Liverpool defeat. Losing
It’s back to it on Sunday with the visit of Liverpool, otherwise known as the ‘Matteo derby’ in our house. My love of Liverpool is
There’s not been too many players over the years who have crossed the great divide across the Pennines, but Daniel James joined an elite club
That’s another point in the bag, but boy did we have to fight for it. I won’t say the game panned out exactly how I’d
It’s Burnley, and what we’d all give for a repeat of last season’s result at Turf Moor. We were 4-0 winners here of course in
The Damned United Damned if you do, damned if you don’t. That was the dilemma for Marcelo on Tuesday and it was almost a case
What great news that was today about Patrick Bamford getting called up for England. It’s a call he’s fully deserved and I bet he’s absolutely
The fact Elland Road is practically sold out for tonight says more than words ever could about this great club of ours. No disrespect to
We’re off and running! And how good was it to be back? I said after the opening day hiding in Stretford, it was important we
The scene is well and truly set for the weekend. Everton started out with a win against Southampton and we, ahem, were on the wrong
It’s fair to say emotions will be running high before the game on Saturday after the club announced there would be a special tribute to
Right, let’s just take a step back, a deep breath, and grab a stiff drink. Yes that result hurt, but let’s put a sense of
So, that was that then. Tottenham were the last of the so-called ‘Big Six’ to come to Elland Road and they joined their mates in
So, it wasn’t the game we’d hoped for at Elland Road on Sunday, but if ever there was an indicator of how far we’ve come
Let’s get something straight. This matters. During our time away from the Premier League, and even now we’re back, I get sick and tired of
That’s two of the big guns down now and one to go! I think we all felt that the run of games against Man City,
What can you say about that? We’ve spent the season riding a roller coaster of emotions, purring with joy at a style of football that
When Liam Cooper was sent off at Man City last Saturday he became the first Leeds player to be red carded in a Premier League
So, could the events of the past week finally make Pat Bamford go green? When he came off injured against Chelsea in our last home
It was sad to learn of the passing of Peter Lorimer over the weekend. Peter is obviously a true Leeds United legend and his loss
Friday’s win at Fulham was a great way for Leeds to sign off before the final international break of the season. There’s eight games left
Lee Bowyer has been back in the news this week after being appointed as the new manager of Birmingham City. Like a lot of Leeds
After back-to-back defeats, I don’t think I’m alone in thinking Saturday was a good point against Chelsea. It was a good performance against a team
It’s been a tough period in terms of results recently, but you could maybe argue that we haven’t had what we deserved either. The 3-0
I’m sure I wasn’t the only one who felt that we were a little hard done by to come away from Wolves without anything the
Arsenal away. Two words I used to love. I’d retired before the Emirates Stadium became Arsenal’s home, but when they were at Highbury, it was
It’s that time again folks, it’s my three-monthly scan tomorrow and although it might sound daft I’m looking forward to it because I know that
After two wins on the bounce, I thought we were unfortunate not to take anything from the Everton game in midweek. Everton did have the
Well, that’s been another great week and I think the two games have been a real sign of how far this Leeds side have come
Well, that was another disappointing result in a game that we should be winning or certainly doing better. Brighton worked us out pretty quickly and

Well, after everything that we’ve said and seen, I thought that was the best performance of the season so far at West Brom. We made
What a great three points that was today against Burnley! It wasn’t the greatest performance with the ball – but defensively we were absolutely outstanding.
I suppose it says it all when the only happy memory I have of Leeds playing at Old Trafford involves me sitting on the sofa
It’s a quick turnaround this week with the game against Newcastle come just a few days before the trip across the Pennines to take on
It’s pretty rare to see a team outclass Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds United but that’s what happened at Chelsea on Saturday. There’s no disgrace at all
Stamford Bridge was never a happy hunting ground for me as a Leeds player, but on a personal note, it was the place where the
Well, that put me back in place at Everton on Saturday. I’d questioned the resistance to keep goals out and with two back-to-back clean sheets,
The toughies just keep on coming don’t they? After Arsenal last weekend, it’s a trip to Everton on Saturday. Goodison Park doesn’t hold too many
Go on then…who had their money on 0-0? If you did, do me a favour and send me this week’s lottery numbers will you? 0-0
The focus has been on my speech and language this week. I’m trying to make progress and get better at it, and it’s not easy.
It’s back to it on Saturday when we take on the mighty Arsenal at Elland Road. It goes without saying that my over-riding memory of
It’s a year ago this week that my life was turned on its head. I woke up in intensive care at the LGI to be
The easiest way to look back on the Palace game would be to paste and copy pretty much what we said after the Leicester defeat
Crystal Palace 1 – Leeds 2 – February 2003 Palace are a team I never actually faced in a Leeds shirt, but we did have
Well, if the goals aren’t going in at one end, they’re going in at the other. We keep saying how Leeds are the best team
Leicester 3 – Leeds 1 – November 2000 If ever a club made a statement of intent, we all felt the signing of Rio Ferdinand at
You could sum up the Aston Villa game in two words. Hat-trick Bamford. Ok, that might be three words for the grammar police, but you
It’s been a real case of good news and bad news for me and my family this week. First the great news. The result came
Villa 0 – Leeds 1 – April 2002 Villa away is a special game for me. I used to love playing there and it took
There were a few lessons learned at Elland Road the other night against a Wolves side who I think are a great model for us
Leeds 4, Wolves 1 – Feb 10 2004 I’ll never forget the Yorkshire Evening Post headline on the night – “Will the loser please turn the
International weeks are always a strange time for me as someone who represented both England and Scotland, and not many people can say that! How did
Hey up It’s been a quiet week for me with it being internationals. I don’t like them coming so early in the season when everything
Is anyone else sat pinching themselves a bit here after watching yet another unbelievable game and performance? This might be sound a bold statement, but
Nowadays bagging a man of the match award against Man City would be a real claim to fame, and I have to admit I’m proud
Well, the main thing on the agenda this week was my three-monthly scan on Thursday, but thankfully I had plenty of work on before that
We’re all going on a European tour? Okay, it’s maybe a bit early for all that, but to look at the table today and see
It’s Yorkshire derby day on Sunday, and in contrast to life in the Championship, it’s the only Yorkshire derby on the fixture list this season.
So, this week I wanted to introduce to some of the people that have become familiar and trusted faces in my life on the recovery
Three Premier League points! It’s a long time since we’ve been able to say that. Sixteen years in fact. But we’re able to say it
Last night was bitterly disappointing for us all. I was hoping to see more than I did from Leeds, especially at Elland Road for the
