  • Leeds United 0 Brighton HA 1: Doing a Job on Leeds

    Finally in the 78th minute Leeds United put Brighton under sustained pressure. What is worrying is how the shots on goal have dried up. With opportunities eluding us Brighton’s early goal and solid defending did a job on us.

  • Is populism so evil?

    Traditional party politics in the UK are in transition with conservatism and populism dividing the votes. Both parties have learned the evils of liberalism when under Blair and Cameron.

  • Crawley Town 3 Leeds United 0. Pathetic.

    On tweet summed it up. Pathetic. There is nothing much pretty about these early giant killing matches. Brutal tactics versus free flowing football.
