  Leeds United's Diamonds Should Last Forever

  As a Leeds United fan I often look back - as so many of us do - to the glory days in our football club's history. I don't just mean the Don Revie era - where I first discovered this magical land - but also the Howard Wilkinson and David O'Leary regimes and, not forgetting, that brief time under ...

  Into the Valley

  Looking forward to Leeds United's next match I was thinking today about 'Into the Valley.' This was a song written by Richard Jobson (I don't think he was related to our Richard Jobson of the mid-Nineties) and Stuart Adamson of The Skids. Released in 1979 it was their biggest hit and got to Numb...

  Warnock Counts on GFH

  Neil Warnock can count. He's worked out that Leeds United have nine games left and therefore "There's 27 points left and we're in a lot better situation than we were two months ago." Mathematically he's correct and, when you look at some of the performances from LUFC as a team in the last two mo...

  Blackburn Rovers vs Leeds United Preview

  So Leeds United managed to beat Blackpool at last! Perhaps it was playing on a Wednesday evening instead of a Tuesday that did it? Either way imagine how Paul Ince would have reacted if his new side had beaten us at Elland Road for the second year running. We'd have had to extend the posh entran...

  Leeds 'United' but Warnock Pays the Penalty

  There was a perceptible trepidation about messages and comments on the various football forums before Leeds United's home game with Cardiff City yesterday. We lost of course. As with the likes of Millwall and Derby away there seems to be some kind of hidden asterisk against these fixtures. If we...

  No Comment, No Leeds United

  I'm sure you'll all remember the famous FT ad campaign "No FT, no comment." The implication is that you couldn't do without the FT and I feel much the same about Leeds United as I have done for the last forty five years: I cannot do without the club. However, it's hard to comment much beyond tha...

  Leeds United Ask Why, Warnock?

  Just before Simon Grayson got sacked, an online poll suggested that 70% of LUFC supporters wanted him to remain as manager of Leeds United. Over the weekend another poll was run and support for Neil Warnock to remain was apparently no more than 13% Now, running a poll immediately after an especi...

  It's grim in Barnsley

  It's hard to say the word Barnsley in an upbeat kind of way isn't it? Even for those people trained to smile when they speak on the telephone, it's almost impossible to say it without invoking thoughts of grim scenes on the South Yorkshire coalfield of old. It's a bit like Goole. You try saying ...

  When I was just a little boy

  When I was just a little boy Peter Lorimer scored a late goal for Leeds United against Chelsea in the FA Cup which was disallowed. I was seven years' old and I have never forgotten it. To my young, developing mind, the injustice of that day was beyond reason. Kenneth Wolstenholme still voices in...

  We had joy, we had fun, we had Ipswich on the run

  In the spring of 1975 I travelled to France by coach with a group of other schoolchildren. It was billed as a 'French Exchange' but we felt like the prisoners, deep in the muddy darkness of Saint Maritime and the town of Aumale - our final destination. To keep us going we sang songs - as you do ...

  Leeds United meet up with the Clough family once again

  So here we are then - Leeds United have won three games in a row, apparently secured new investment in the club and have a home game against Chelsea coming up: almost like old times. This weekend we visit Derby County, managed by Nigel, son of Brian. The life of Brian was controversial and, of c...

  Via Leeds Road to Huddersfield

  Like all Leeds United fans up and down the country and across the world, I am really looking forward to tomorrow's game between Huddersfield Town and Leeds. As it's a 12.30 kick-off I'll also hopefully be able to enjoy Sky's Gillette Soccer Special on the TV in the afternoon all the more. It's n...

  Too late again for Leeds United

  Like so many Leeds United fans I was hugely disappointed with our defeat at Burnley last night. Every LUFC loss puts me off my food and replaces it with drink, but late defeats ruin my sleep as well so I am not in the best of moods this morning. Nor, I suspect, is Neil Warnock who put out a side...

  Leeds United edging beyond Birmingham City

  Last season Leeds United lost narrowly away to Birmingham and much less narrowly at home; in fact our entire defence seemed to be no match for the height and power of Nikola Zigic that night. Tomorrow we get the chance to have our revenge - at least partially - at Elland Road. The display agains...

  I'm really looking forward to tonight's game.

I always think back to previous encounters when big derby games like this come along, especially...

  League Championship: why it will be so tough for Leeds

  I have been lucky enough to have seen Leeds United crowned league champions three times since I started supporting them about forty five years ago. I say lucky because many football supporters will never experience this. Triumphs for their clubs may lie well back in the last century or even the ...

  LUFC on the international stage

  It was fantastic to see Leeds  United's Aidy White captaining the Republic of Ireland under-21s in Italy last night and Tom Lees making his debut for England under-21s. While White's side beat the Italians with nine men, they had already failed to qualify for the finals, whereas Lees helped Engl...

  Some of you may remember Reg Varney as his most well-known character, Stan Butler, in 'On the Buses.' Reg was loyal and hard working but never had much luck or ever looked like being more than what he was. I have read reports on yesterday's Leeds United away match at Peterborough United from Tho...

  Posh have pedigree

  I'll be going to Leeds United's away game with Peterborough United today. I actually grew up in Peterborough so it's something of a home game for me in a strange kind of way. Growing up in the 'Seventies I couldn't afford to travel to Elland Road often but often went to watch Posh who had an exc...

  Hard to beat

  I first started supporting Leeds United in 1969 when I was nine years' old. That team were tough and uncompromising but they had a defensive platform that was the envy of every other club. From there, the midfield and attack could conjure, create and shape moves that took us to the top of the le...

  Robert Snodgrass goes cuckoo

  By Mark Rasdall Norwich City may have the nickname of Canaries but they're cuckoos really. They have built a nest in the eaves of the once mighty Elland Road stadium and displaced two of our best players of recent times: Jonny Howson and now Robert Snodgrass. Norwich will hope to nurture t...

  Money talks while players walk #lufc #mot

  I was looking at the Leeds United site today (Friday 18th May 2012) as I do most days - and several times a day - like so many LUFC fans. I don't see this, by any means, as the only source of news about our club but certainly it is the official site: the communications backstop. Over the last fe...

  Jonny'd be good #lufc #mot

  All Leeds United fans know in their hearts that our season effectively ended when Jonny Howson got injured. He was one of the few players in the squad who could raise the whole tempo of the team and, of course, make a brilliant individual difference in any game. His understanding with Clayton in...
