Being a muppet, I just spent an hour and half writing an in-depth preview of tonight’s England - Croatia match, including assessments of all Croatia’s players, over on http://england.worldcupblog.org/, so if you want to know just who is Shakhtar Donetsk’s best Croatian player, go check it out. It’s certainly more fun than reading a match [...]
Category: Tonight’s FA Cup Replay: Leeds United vs. Hereford United
By: Matthew | 2 Comments
Apologies for the lack of posts this week - I’ve just taken over England duties on WorldCupBlog.org and I’m still working out how to juggle it with my Leeds commitments. Give me a few days, I’ll be fine.
Alright, crunch time. Prospective giant-killers Hereford United head to Elland Road tonight in the hopes of adding another [...]

And Ridsdale’s in the brown stuff again. I think the headline says it all.
Leeds hit the Playoffs: Leeds 2 - 1 Swindon
By: Matthew | No Comments
15 point penalty? Oh, that thing. I almost forgot about it.
Leeds notched up yet another league win to propel themselves into 4th place in League One and in the running for a playoff place. Two Jermaine Beckford goals - the first from a penalty, the second in an excellent coordinated action with Tresor Kandol - [...]
Another Rant about England
By: Matthew | 4 Comments
When England is barely capable of beating Austria in a friendly, at a time when the team should be at the peak of its form, you know something is seriously wrong. After an embarassing performance, in which only Micah Richards distinguished himself in any small way, England won a meaningless 1-0 victory which contained more [...]

By: Matthew | 9 Comments
I know this isn’t about Leeds, but hell, I’m angry. What planet is Steven Gerrard on? The England captain (in the absence of John Terry) has declared that there are too many foreign players in the Premier League and the only way to make the English national team any good is to impose a quota [...]
Johnstone’s Paint Trophy: Leeds 1 - 2 Bury
By: Matthew | No Comments
God knows why Leeds can’t seem to win cup matches, but they really can’t. Bury, currently residing a league below Leeds, held on for a dramatic victory last night that knocked Leeds out of the running for the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy and dashed Dennis Wise’s hopes of a return to Wembley this season.
Leeds fielded a [...]
Police: Violence is likely at Elland Road
By: Matthew | No Comments
Leeds aren’t exactly renowned for well-behaved fans, so when the Police go out of their way to warn Elland Road that there’s a serious potential for crowd violence, it’s probably a big deal. Playing Huddersfield Town later this month will be a massive local derby, with tiny Huddersfield taking on huge Leeds, and the police [...]
The Guardian scouts Beckford
By: Matthew | No Comments
Every week, The Guardian posts a scout report on a player somewhere in the English leagues by pro-scout Steve Claridge, and today, that player is Leeds’s Jermaine Beckford. Sadly, the assessment (click here) isn’t completely positive. Claridge, though, really hits the nail on the head with his analysis:
“The 23-year-old has had the good fortune to [...]
Team-History Tuesday: Tony Yeboah
By: Matthew | 3 Comments
For the next few weeks, I’m going to take a look at some of the best players ever to don the legendary white jersey. Don’t expect an objective best-ever list - my selection will be determined by YouTube-availability and the fact that I don’t really want to write about players I don’t like - but [...]
