Losing by some dreary margin to Nottingham Forest is not fun, writes Moxco. You know what is fun, though? David Batty in a funny hat.

Leeds' character

All Together | Kate Schultze

"For me that’s about the connection between the city and football," says Kate Schultze. "It’s like a part of Leeds’ character."

Blackburn Rovers 0-2 Leeds United: Waiting

Blackburn and Leeds played like enforcing parents, attempting to entertain with the idea not that good things come to those who wait, but that waiting is not the enemy of fun.

Easy, easy

Leeds United 4-1 Huddersfield Town: Sport for all

If I've ever seen a full-back being so deliberately dismantled they were probably playing for Leeds between 2003 and 2018 and I'd rather not think about it.
