2024/25 Issue 06: Editor’s Note

One great 7-0 win has Michael Normanton remembering seven goal thrillers from years gone by. Unfortunately, they're all losses.
A collage of classic Leeds deadline days and transfer windows — Dan James holding the shirt before his failed move from Swansea, Harry Winks — our never-ending midfield option under Victor Orta even though nobody wants, and Cody Gakpo, the striker we almost signed and would have almost certainly broken

We tried FC

Try harder

Leeds United and transfer windows just don’t get along, do they? Ever since its introduction in 2002, the biannual deadline day has often passed with either inaction or misery as the main theme.

Pass the Whiskey

You can roll a turd in glitter, writes Dean Smith. But it’s still a fucking turd.

Another Damned United

44 Days

Did we just become best friends?!

Brothers in arms

F sharp at inside left

Richard Finn has been trying to figure out how to play Marching On Together on the guitar for years, but he’s never quite cracked it. Until now.
Harry Clarke - who? - stands behind Scott Parker, who's giving a thumbs up to the camera like the used mattress salesman he was always destined to be.

Fuck Harry Clarke

Holding an irrational hatred of some Champo nobody is half the fun of being a football fan, writes Zac Connolly.

Hook, line and sinker

A sign from Cod
