Leeds United 2-2 Brighton: The initiative

The source of Elland Road's anger was not in how this game was played, but in how this game came to be played this way.

Eat up

The Yorkshire roar

The FA wanted to make football a success in the north. Leeds, writes Moxco, was a problem.

Central League Fever

Suddenly, everyone in Leeds wanted to watch association football. So, writes Moxco, the club found a way for people to do just that.

Everton 1-0 Leeds United: The hope we had

Am I deluded for imagining Junior Firpo can inspire Leeds to surge up the table? Maybe. But that's all the hope on offer.
Angus Kinnear and Andrea Radrizzani looking worried back in May 2019. This was actually taken at the first leg of the play-off semi-finals, away to Derby, when we won, so I don't know why they looked so worried
