From February of 2022/23 — to celebrate Michael Skubala's promotion with Lincoln City, let's go back to the time he took us to Old Trafford:

At the end of this match at Old Trafford, Leeds' modern players looked exhausted, frustrated and proud. They had let a famous win elude them, but those who have been around Leeds a while know we don't get the nice things easily.

From April of 2018/19 — when there was an attempt to get Elland Road to do one thing, while football got on with making that unnecessary:

There’s no way of scripting Elland Road. Whatever is said beforehand gets lost as soon the ball is kicked. "That's why football is the best sport in the world," Bielsa said this week, "Because before the games you can have one feeling, but after the games the feeling is different with the result."

From November last year — and Bielsa talking about the world the way only Bielsa can:

After a reporter told him watching Uruguay's defeat in the USA was like 'tearing his eyes out', Marcelo Bielsa called the press together to analyse, well, everything.

From March of 2021/22 — a match when manbuns were ascendant and Leeds United still had that frisson of Bielsista chaos:

Some players get a moment like this once in a career. Most right-backs get them never. But Leeds United's return to the top has been punctuated by days of Luke Ayling dragging us there.

From January of 1997/98 — a trip to South London reunited Leeds with a real coulda, shoulda player of our mid-1990s:

Tomas Brolin's third game for Palace, when George Graham's Leeds came to Selhurst Park, was a chance to overturn opinions and prove some points. Instead the Match of the Day cameras caught the end again, first Brolin slumped in the grass again, then a bloody bandage.

From May of 2023/24 — proving that a good night can happen, and that 31 passes sometimes have a point:

Where had all this been? There was so much more of it. Twice in a first half minute first Rutter then Gnonto went Maradona mode, slaloming upfield with the ball at their feet, evading tackles, gathering speed towards the goal(s) of the century(ies).

From February of 2022/23 — given he's been rattling Sam Allardyce's cage this week, let's go back to Jesse Marsch's last game in charge of Leeds United:

Eleven months in, his confident delivery can't mask the substance of what even Jesse Marsch is saying about his own work: this isn't going very well.

A bit of retro Premiership fun and games here — but with a big question about the new 2001/02 season, and why everyone seemed so unhappy:

The fixture was a powder keg filled with fireworks wired up to a detonator in the hands of a toddler. Or Danny Mills, who pushed Ashley Cole over for no reason as he took a throw-in in the fifth minute.
