It's not getting any better for them...

Quite. One of the 5Live pundits on the final weekend of the season remarked how they'd become everyone's second team. Really?

An utterly turgid side still largely made up of Championship-level players who have stunk out the Premier League with their particular brand of can't-defend-for-shit football. They're returning to where they belong and no-one is going to miss them,

It's bizarre, isn't it? Listening to 5Live earlier (I can't remember who was on), someone said that under Bielsa became everyone's second club. What a load of utter bollocks. Pretty much everyone disliked Leeds, and continued to do so. Their "exciting brand of football" was built on a...

It's just lazy... Big club (+Newcastle) = unwinnable Small club = winnable

I didn't watch the Leeds game but I was listening to it, with great glee, whilst out for a run. I was delighted to hear Sunday's game described as a "Cup Final" for Leeds, as well as being their biggest game since being promoted. So, have YOU got your jester hat ready, or is it just your...

I'm not sure what your post is intended to say, beyond what mine already said: Ben White was part of a defence that was better than the one he left behind. (We actually conceded 46.)

Leeds had a worse defensive record than Fulham, whilst Ben White was part of a defensive unit that was better than the likes of Leicester and West Ham (and, of course, Leeds). Not sure that's indicative of a regression.

2004.... - The year Facebook was invented. When Leeds were getting relegated from the Premier League, you could only join Facebook if you were studying at a handful of US top-tier universities. - The iPhone wasn't even a glint in Steve Jobs' eye - the first one was still three years away. -...

What I don't get about the Leeds five-year-plan is why it only started in 2018 when Bielsa was appointed. Radrizzani bought a 50% stake in Leeds in December 2016 before buying the remainder in May 2017. Why did he/they go through the following managerial appointments and dismissals before...

I really don't think it is. Whilst I would never take issue with the fantastic history Leeds have and the incredible support the club enjoys (although a lot of that went missing in the Championship years until promotion became a possibility again), I've seen nothing to suggest anyone outside...

Now, where have I seen that model before? Andrea Radrizzani: “As a model, I look at clubs like Brighton & Hove Albion and the success they’ve achieved gradually on a sustainable budget. I want to take a similar approach." Ah yes, thanks Andrea. Can't wait for you to loan out one of those top...

Sun? In Yorkshire? Nonsense.

You say that, but you weren't punched in the face by a Leeds fan outside The Old Fish Market pub in Bristol after the dramatic Friday night 3-3 draw in 2011. Leeds went 2 up, we then went 3-2 ahead before Ross McCormack got a stoppage time equaliser. Now, it may have been the case that I'd...

A decent contribution - thanks! (I'm largely replying because your post has only just appeared as it was stuck in our moderating queue, because I'd not checked for a while - sorry)
