The trials and tribulations of supporting Leeds United
When you are riding high in fifth place and coming off the back of beating Newcastle 4-1 under the lights, it is hard not to expect an emphatic victory against a side digging itself out of an early-season rut like Crystal Palace. But Sunday two o’clock Sky Sports matches are fast becoming our kryptonite, turning into slumber afternoons if this start to the season is anything to go by.
This win against Newcastle showed the whole team in the first half on the same page. The pass and move, the physicality and unpredictability tore Newcastle apart.

This was a nightmare at Stamford Bridge for Leeds United. Whatever good can be taken from the first half, the second half saw Alonso bring on his big guns and tear through the Leeds defence.
Brighton HA 1 Leeds United 1. Leeds carry on with their progress from last year with a well earned point away at Brighton.
Leeds United 1 Brentford 1 - Don't be afraid. After a torrid first half Farke changed the formation and personnel to take the game to Brentford and salvage a point. First home game of the season, Farke showed mettle.
Farke’s face was added to the iconic Guiseley club-manager mural alongside legendary figures like Don Revie, Howard Wilkinson, and Marcelo Bielsa. We were back in the Premier League after 16 years.
Leeds United 1 Brighton AFC 0 - late late show. Elland Road has seen its share of drama this season, but this was something else: daylight robbery in 96th minute.
Leeds survived a nervy thirteen minutes' extra time, almost winning it, with a disciplined performance at Spurs. Leeds absorbed relentless pressure, and left North London with a point earned through sheer resilience.
Leeds delivered a vital win under the Elland Road lights, beating Burnley with a mix of brilliance, chaos, and grit. Stach’s stunning opener set the tone before Okafor and Calvert‑Lewin finished the job. A nervy ending couldn’t spoil a night that pushed Leeds closer to safety.
