🆕❗️Good morning Leeds fans ☀️ I spent far too many hours watching Paixão’s YouTube compilations last summer. And in the end, he chose the South of France. But I’m ready to be hurt all over again! Would love if you gave this a read 🩵 #LUFC #Leeds #MOT worldafterthebell.com/2026/08/04/l...

Leeds United, Igor Paixão, and Getting Hurt Again

This is the third time I’ve chosen to re-write this Igor Paixão article. When I originally approached the idea back in May, it came off of the back of the news that Freiburg were interested in Will…

Good afternoon Leeds fans 👋🏼☀️ ICYMI, I “sat down” with Graham Smyth before he departs the YEP. Or rather, I nervously sent him a message online late at night and hoped he’d reply. Bielsa. Promotion. Premier League. Relegation. A takeover. Wembley. Promotion. Survival. #LUFC #Leeds #MOT

🆕 This one is a little different. It’s not about who Leeds should sign, but about the man who spent seven years telling us who they actually would sign. Thank you Graham Smyth for your honesty, kindness and generosity with your time. #LUFC #Leeds worldafterthebell.wordpress.com/2026/07/30/l...

Really looking forward to seeing how Baturina does tonight against this England side. I was going to have a look at him, and then saw Como wanted €60m. That put an end to that 😂 #LUFC #England  #Croatia  #Como #Leeds #LeedsUnited

Just waiting for Joe Cole, Karen Carney and Duncan Ferguson to rub their 3 brain cells together and question Martinez’s managerial ability. - Squandered Belgium’s “golden generation”. - Has a world class Portugal team playing boring, tepid football. Or do we only do Bielsa slander? #LUFC

I’ve been really impressed with a lot of the African teams so far in the World Cup. Morocco obviously. Ivory Coast were very exciting against Ecuador. Egypt very competitive last night against Belgium. Senegal should be ahead against France.

Nothing new from me until Friday ☹️ And that one could draw some ire from the Leeds fans. Trust me, I know. In the meantime, why not have a read of this one on Georgi? Everything is free to read on my blog 😊 Just writing for my own head. #LUFC worldafterthebell.wordpress.com/2026/05/29/b...
