Sunderland FC 2 Leeds United 2 – Missing the Ball. A winning performance. One howler. Two dropped points. More frustration for the fans.

Helen Andrews' Boomers: The Men and Women Who Promised Freedom and Delivered Disaster. The decline of Western Society but is it the boomers’ fault?

Norwich City 1 Leeds United 1 – a Championship affair. Scrappy, end to end stuff with little style and a lot of referee meddling.

The ritual of the Leeds United football fan - what it means to me. From the moment I win Leeds tickets for my son and myself in the ballot the rituals begin. We do the same thing every match - because we are tribalist about the team that chose us and football is an unpredictable game.

Squash is a subject I am passionate about. A labour of love for many years.

Leeds United 0 Burnley FC 1 – slipping away. Leeds United spurned a chance to keep their show on the road. There are serious questions about Farke’s tactics with an underwhelming performance.

"Politics on the Edge" by Rory Stewart - flawed genius. He writes with sharp clarity about the failures of the political establishment with selecting MPs.

Leeds United 2 Hull City 0 - Welcome to the new boys. New players: Solomon started, Tanaka and Ramazani subbed on, and Schmidt warmed up.
