Leeds United 2-1 Wolves: Space, grass, ball
United's philosophy was opposite. Not space, but ball. Ball ball ball. Wherever the ball went they rushed to it, competed for it, they were obsessed with it, not the having of it, but the getting it.

Leeds United 0-1 Aston Villa: We go way back
Somewhere in this uncanny hinterland between kickabout and full league match, someone risks getting hurt, especially a schoolboy trying to work out how things work, where a bitter clogger thinks he can teach him.
Brisbane Roar 1-2 Leeds United: No overthinking
Yes there's a reason I'm just telling you the squad numbers now instead of talking about the football.
Leeds United 4-0 Blackpool: The best day of your summer

Manchester United 5-1 Leeds United: What Are We Doing?
What was simple was promotion and staying up and annoying people. Those ambitions generated their own momentum and gave Leeds ample opportunity to piss people off. But what are we even doing now?
Manchester City 1-2 Leeds United: A Madman Has A Team
I know Bielsa will always love Newell's the most, and one football fan to another I respect that he'll never change. But dear me Leeds must run them close.
