Buying time | Last day 1961/62

Don Revie had an inkling, but few others knew what was at stake. At Newcastle in 1962, writes Rob Conlon, Leeds faced the most important final day in their history.

Sick everywhere

Proposal: Don’t let Brighton sign James Milner

Brighton are proof it’s possible to be a sustainable Premier League club and still have fun. Give ‘em a biscuit. But please don’t give them James Milner.

Better than champions

Missing automatic promotion might be the best thing that could have happened to Leeds Under-21s
Joel Robles has been photographed not looking particularly calm, having a big old shout with his arms spread, but Rasmus has just scored so it's fine
A bit daft, a bit mad

Pass the valium

It says a lot about Leeds right now that the goalkeeper practising pull-ups on the crossbar before facing a penalty is the one asking for calm.

Proposal: Release the bulls

After a bull was accidentally let loose at a rugby league match, I'm wondering if that's the best way to make Premier League games more fun.
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

What’s that smell?

If the appointment of Sam Allardyce feels a bit Mike Bassett, that's because they've both worked with Bradley Walsh as their assistant.

An awful lot of fun

That’s the Leeds United I fell in love with

Jesse Marsch spent a year thinking he could change Leeds’ habit of doing things the hard way. Twelve months on he was consumed by stress and unemployed. I’m not sure if that reflects worse on Marsch, or us.

Stay away

Run to the hills

I picked a good time to leave Leeds for a holiday. Unfortunately, I picked a terrible time to come home.

Mr Nice in Dirty Leeds

Where does someone with 43 aliases go to be himself? Leeds, as Rob Conlon explains.

No Fenomeno

PSV didn’t have Ronaldo, Leeds did have Yeboah. And there were goals, writes Rob Conlon.

We’re only here to spoil your party

Watford needed a win. Leeds didn’t need anything. The rest was predictable, at least to Rob Conlon.
