This is the fifth issue of The Square Ball’s 36th season and Leeds United’s 2025/26 definitely-not-ending-in-relegation campaign.
After issue four was devoted to the iconic 1992 title-winning midfield, we’ve got a lot to catch up on in the current world of Leeds United. Comebacks against Man City, wins against Chelsea, points against Liverpool and Scum, a fancy new formation and the same old manager — who we now like so much again that he’s our cover star, as illustrated by the excellent Emily Tartanella.

As always since 1989, barring pandemics and badly timed World Cups, The Square Ball magazine will be on sale outside Elland Road, for the match against Fulham on Saturday 17th January 2025. Just look out for our windswept but friendly sellers by the Lowfields tunnel, Billy’s Statue, the Kop gates, and anywhere else someone is holding a fanzine in the air, until about fifteen minutes before kick-off.
TSB+ members can read the magazine online now here.
Our now twelve times-nominated and two-times FSF Award winning fanzine, plus one for the podcast and as of 2022 one for ‘Fan Media’, includes lots of pages of articles and artwork about what used to be the pain but now is the glory which still involves pain of being a Leeds United supporter, for more than 100 long, long years.

Also free to read from this issue is Kirsty Kenyon on travelling to Toronto to see Mat Klich play for DC United, and getting to meet the man himself. Read that for free here.
