Brentford 5-2 Leeds United: Mind the gap
The idiotic waste of energy, with the net result of weakening an area of the squad that was strong, condemns the board more than any accusations of poverty. They've got money. What's lacking is sense.

Leeds United 1-1 Everton: Autumn leaves
Imagine the clammy cold creeping across Kinnear's loins as Rodrigo went staggering off in the first half, sobbing and huffing oxygen to dull the searing pain in his shoulder.
Brighton 1-0 Leeds United: Worst coast
United's whole day was summed up when Struijk watched his clearance rolling towards his corner flag, and the camera caught his eyeroll when the ball clipped the pole and fell corner side, not throw-in. Typical.
Leeds United 3-1 Barnsley: Right Klich

Leeds United 0-1 Aston Villa: We go way back
Somewhere in this uncanny hinterland between kickabout and full league match, someone risks getting hurt, especially a schoolboy trying to work out how things work, where a bitter clogger thinks he can teach him.
Brisbane Roar 1-2 Leeds United: No overthinking
Yes there's a reason I'm just telling you the squad numbers now instead of talking about the football.
Leeds United 4-0 Blackpool: The best day of your summer
The best part of these two goals was Richard Keogh rolling his eyeballs and shouting at all his teammates. He's trying to play like Franz Beckenbauer these days, but, like, like Franz Beckenbauer these days, if you see what I mean.
