The Leeds United rumour mill is gearing up as January gets ever closer, and the first name to be linked is Ipswich Town midfielder Sammy Moore. The 20 year old has been impressing whilst out on loan to League Two side Brentford, fueling speculation that Leeds will make a move for him in January. Meanwhile, David Prutton has been rewarded for his fine form so far this season with a new contract

Whilst still very disappointed at our JPT exit, Saturday did bring back the smiles as Beckford's brace saw off Wise's old team, Swindon. The dream of Wembley may have been short lived, but the reality of Leeds United winning the title with a 15 point deduction grows more realistic by the week. Now into 4th, and just two points off the top spot, it's becoming increasingly harder for anyone to

Not quite the Champions League quarter final as it was only a few year ago. For a start it's taken just one game to get this far and two relegations to qualify, as opposed to a top four Premiership finish, qualifying rounds and a group stage. Tomorrows opponents won't be some elite European team such as AC Milan or Barcelona either; instead, it'll be Bury. I could go over old ground here, and

Whilst reading NME (weekly music magazine) today, I rather bizarrely came across a football fans blog that really interested me. It has nothing to do with Leeds United really, but the concept of it really intrigued me. Basically, a Norwich fan has become slightly disillusioned with life as a below-par Championship club and decided that for one season, he'll support a top four Premier League

Due to the potentional for violence when Huddersfield Town visit Elland Road early next month the match has been moved to an earlier kickoff time of 12:15pm.Leeds United and the West Yorkshire Police have also recommended that Huddersfields ticket allocation be slashed to 1,710, which will allow the Elland Road stewards and police to seperate the fans easier. Huddersfield have however appealed

Bournemouth 1-3 Leeds UnitedAfter Saturdays dismal display which saw us throw away a 1-0 lead against Carlisle, to lose 3-1, Dennis Wise was demanding a strong response from his side, and within 3 minutes of kickoff, Tresor Kandol was on hand to open the scoring. Tresor slipped by the Bournemouth defence, firing a shot straight at the opposition keeper which fortuitously deflected back into

It took 13 games, but the inevitable first defeat has now come. 3-1 away to league leaders Carlisle probably doesn't sound too bad, but the result more than flattered Carlisle and Leeds will regret many missed chances.In recent weeks Leeds have failed to capitalise on their superior possession and chances, but uptil now we've been somewhat lucky and managed to leave games with at least a point.

It's been revealed that Dave Bassett will succeed Gus Poyet as the new Leeds number two, at least until the end of the season. Personally, i aren't Bassett's biggest fan and would have preferred someone a hell of alot younger, but he's done a decent job in managing lower league clubs and will bring a little humour to the Elland Road press conferences if nothing else. Bassett originally signed

If any other football club lost their assistant manager, and then had the manager banned by the league, all in the space of 3 days, it would seem rather unfortunate. But, this is Leeds United, and after everything we've had to overcome in the last six years, it's just another day at the office.Yes, Gus Poyet's move to Tottenham as Ramos' translator... I mean, assistant manager has been agreed and

A dominant display by Leeds United saw us make it 13 games unbeaten and move up into 6th place in the league, despite a late comeback from the Millwall club.Prutton got Leeds ahead before halftime, before Beckford punished an error by the Millwall keeper and stand in captain Jonathan Douglas fired home twice in the space of just a few minutes. Game over, 4-0. It probably should have been easier,

As I predicted only two days ago, Martin Jol has now parted company with struggling Tottenham Hotspur after seemingly losing the dressing room, and guiding the London club into the dark depths of the relegation zone.Jol spent millions on new players during his spell at Tottenham, and has gone from fans hero to villain almost overnight. Tottenham are set to replace Jol with Sevilla coach, Juande

It's not looking good at present for the "mighty" Tottenham Hotspur. Having spent tens of millions on new players in a bid to challenge the Premiership elite, it seems things at White Hart Lane aren't as rosey as they'd like it to be. Currently sitting in the Premierships relegation zone, following just 7 points from a possible 30, Spurs are on dangerous ground, and nowhere near where their

Apparently, League Ones most prolific strike-force - our very own Tresor Kandol and Jermaine Beckford - are lazy, leaving defenders with 'nothing to mark' as they 'just walk around a bit'Yes, these are the accusations from none other than... Wait for it... Tommy Elphick! "Who?" I hear you cry. Well, he's only Brighton and Hove Albions centre-back, and he's been taking time out to give an

Another win, still undefeated and moving upwards rapidly.If anyone had told me at the start of the season that our first twelve games would see us undefeated, with a record of 10 wins and 2 draws, and we'd be just 6 points off the top by mid October, I'd have been rolling about on the floor in laughter. However, that's exactly how it stands, and had it not been for the 15 point deduction, we'd
