From January of 2017/18 — Lasogga didn't need to get in the box, and for a moment Felix Wiedwald was my new Bremner:

If this was the start of something, we'll look back at these twenty minutes as the origin story, the moment when Thomas Christiansen's Leeds finally declared an end to giving in to adversity.

From January of 2019/20 — just after losing to Sheffield Wednesday, Bielsa's Leeds were off to QPR, with Millwall encroaching on our promotion-chasing heels:

The question for Leeds United is, how to exist in hell? To sign the players we want, win the games we want, sing the songs we want? It's what Marching on Together means — a turn inward to ourselves. We can't escape hell, but we can turn our backs on it.

From the start of 2018/19, the match that made what Leeds did to Stoke City actually feel real:

Frank Lampard has perfected the in-game suit, the respectful soundbite, and the pensive touchline stance; as Marcelo Bielsa beamed kindly at him at full-time, like a vet about to do what's best for Lampard's favourite pet, Frank looked shocked.

Another from this time in 2018/19, when Marcelo Bielsa was asked afterwards about heart attacks. "When you change the destiny of the game in the last seconds, you have to take into account (that) hazard." Quite so, Marcelo, quite so.

Back to Christmas 2018, and a day only football can give you. Humans have done a lot of damage to this planet over millennia. But over the last 150 years some humans have kicked a football into a net at just the right moment and made it all feel like a price worth paying.

Written and recorded in 2019, about a game from December 1991 that gives a rare glimpse of Howard Wilkinson's great Leeds United midfield — Gordon Strachan, Gary McAllister, David Batty, Gary Speed — in their title winning form.

From 2017, and possibly still relevant now — an essay I wrote about how neglecting Leeds United's past for so long means there is a lot of catching up to do, and that conversations about the merits of one player or another quickly veer into disbelief that Bobby Collins or Jack Charlton or numerous others weren't publicly acknowledged somewhere at Elland Road already.

It's too easily forgotten, I say, that Jesse Marsch took Leeds United to a cup final. This is from December 2022, when the Festa d'Elx trophy was at stake, and nobody knew if a draw meant penalties, a dance-off, competitive hot dog eating or what.
