Instead we're sending Harry Wilson out there, mouldy from years of vol-au-vents on the breeze at Craven Cottage, to feel a full Wearside tornado whipping #LUFC history up into the air and down on top of him like he's the Wicked Witch of the East.

James Trafford also got a boot in his nethers, and for a long while the most interesting question of the match was about whose testicles would bear the most bruises. The answer would be easy — Luke O'Nien — if only Dominic Calvert-Lewin could have caught up with him in a secluded location #LUFC

Sunderland away, three times, as the 1980s became the 1990s. "I've done it your way," 'said Howard Wilkinson, "now I'm doing it my way, and I know which I prefer. Let's discuss it again next May, shall we?" #LUFC

leedsista.comUp at the end of the eighties: three trips to Roker ParkHoward Wilkinson was never afraid that his way might be wrong — you could only do what you believed in and take your result. But if the result was that he was right, well, he absolutely loved that.

God, he's really good, isn't he? The physical likeness to Davide Somma was spotted immediately; now we have that other element of Sommaness, a sparky, inventive striker that doesn't fit in the team. — me, today in 2016, a bit too excited about Marcus Antonsson at #LUFC

leedsista.comDerby County 1-0 Leeds United: Some MotionThe right changes in the right places have transformed Leeds United this season, putting diamond formations in the past and diamond players in key positions. Pontus Jansson we know about; Kyle Bartley we've heard of. We're hearing more now about Eunan O'Kane, too. At first he looked

On Radio Leeds Norman Hunter was shivering, pleading. "Somebody, just run about and kick somebody!" Robbie Keane's idea was different. Scissor-kick the ball over your own head to win the game, then you can run about. Robbie Keane, Coventry City, 2001 ⭑ Great #LUFC goals

Robbie Keane's idea was different. Scissor-kick the ball over your own head to win the game, then you can run about.

Two minutes later, Pablo, our theoretical Strachan, was on his haunches, staring at the grass, still replaying the penalty he'd missed. Stuart Dallas ran 20 yds to lift him to his feet, tell him to get over it and get on with the game. Today in 2017, #LUFC vs Reading:

leedsista.comLeeds United 0-1 Reading: Evolution of NervesAnyone who expected the removal of the tippy-tappy softie from nets to instantly transform Leeds into 4-4-2 thunder was sadly disillusioned, and that disillusion was soon audible.

Leeds might be more fun if they weren't so good, but being so good has put us on what Arteta would undoubtedly call a journey to respecting the best selves within as manifested by high-performance navel-gazing and playing fetch with Win the dog. About #LUFC at Arsenal

Of course it was Marcelo Bielsa's #LUFC that took on Sham City and drew and won. And of course it was Bielsa who proposed wage cuts to mend football. And of course it was also Bielsa who took a Leeds team to City's ground in December 2021 that lost 7-0. Replay?

I'm of the kind who thinks City's (offline, non-deranged) fans should still feel whatever they want to feel about things like the Agüero moment We all should, because the footage — from Sunderland of Alex Ferguson, Phil Jones and the away end dumbfounded — belongs to football fans everywhere #LUFC

If the Premier League are smart, and want to keep re-running the 2010s on Sky, they should lean into this and get all the alleged manipulators to go on camera talking about bending the product to their will. Like interviewing the producers and editors about old series of Big Brother. #LUFC

Ahead of Arsenal vs #LUFC tomorrow, our trip there in 2001: 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.

Tmrw is Carl Shutt's birthday — one of my #LUFC faves There were always players who earned more than Shutty, played more often than Shutty, had more fame than Shutty, who perhaps looked at him leaving the pitch in pain and asked themselves why he was always working so hard

Gordon Strachan had his name on the if-you-know-Lee-you-know-Lee list. He believed in what big Lee Chapman was doing in Derby County's penalty area, and believed in how it could pay off for him. Gordon Strachan, Derby County, 1990 ⭑ Great #LUFC goals

"Do you think I should be happy?" Pontus Jansson bellowed at the hapless reporter. For a moment, asked about impending fatherhood, I thought Pontus was going to deck the fellow for talking about his wife. Today in 2018, it was #LUFC 1-1 Brentford

leedsista.comLeeds United 1-1 Brentford: Looking UpWinning promotion to the Premier League with Leeds United is Pontus Jansson's dream. This season dreams might come true, and Jansson is recognising, after the World Cup made him a latecomer to Marcelo Bielsa's revolution, that the more serious he is, the more true that dream could be.
