2024-25 | Issue 08

This is the eighth issue of TSB’s 35th season and Leeds United’s 2024/25 title-winning campaign.

Well, we only went and bloody did it! And Rob Palmer’s excellent cover artwork of Ethan Ampadu sums up that feeling of relief pretty bloody well.

Inside the mag, you’ll find from your favourite regular contributors:

• Rob Conlon on the day we got what we all wanted and a night we got to party
• Chris O’Connor tells Chris McMenamy about his new play, Through It All Together, set against the backdrop of the “golden years” of Leeds’ last promotion under Marcelo Bielsa
• Miles Reucroft on how his son’s first game at Elland Road has potentially set the standard for excitement a little too high
• Our agony aunt — AKA Problem Chimp, AKA Michael Normanton — on how to get rid of stress piles and whether drinking your own bodyweight in beer is a good idea
• Plus finding inner peace with Ao Tanaka, Jermaine Beckford’s blue tongue, crying at ‘Play All The Way’, laughing at Scum, and loads more
