Gary McAllister's appointment as Leeds manager has me in a strange mood. If Leeds were England, I'd feel patriotic. They're not, though, so here's a (late) Team History Tuesday on one of the greatest terrace anthems in football: Marching on Together.
Few football teams can boast an original song as their anthem; fewer still can boast a song originally recorded by the team's players; and I'm pretty sure only one team can boast an anthem written by the guy who wrote "It's Not Unusual" for Tom Jones. That team is Leeds.

Wise goes to Newcastle; is Steve McClaren the next Leeds manager?

So, he's off. After 15 months as manager of Leeds United, Dennis Wise has become Director of Football at Newcastle United.

It's hard to know how to react to this news. Dennis Wise was never popular with the hardcore of Leeds fans, thanks to his time spent as a player at Chelsea. Chelsea, of course, is ...

Luton Town 1 - 1 Leeds United

Frustration? You bet. Leeds led 1-0 (courtesy of a Paul Huntington header from a Peter Sweeney free-kick) until the dying seconds of the match, when Luton Town's Sam Parkin tapped in a cross from Dean Morgan. This came after both Jermaine Beckford and Tresor Kandol couldn't get a pair of easy shots on target.

It's frustrating, ...

Forget about Leeds: a teacher, a taxi driver, and a janitor take on Liverpool

Nothing to do with Leeds, but frankly, theirs isn't the biggest game tomorrow: it's non-league Havant and Waterlooville's FA Cup match against Premier League Liverpool. The BBC just posted Havant and Waterlooville's first-choice team and it makes fascinating reading. It also makes it even more ludicrous (not to mention offensive, blinkered, shameful, and against the ...
