Leeds United today completed the signing of former star Fabian Delph on an initial loan deal until February 25, but the move will do little to ease tensions between the club and the fans.

Lady Luck shone on Leeds United again yesterday as Ipswich Town imploded in the last 20 minutes of their game at Elland Road.

Leeds United brought the curtain down on a frustrating year with yet another dreadful display at Oakwell.

Leeds United started 2012 with a bang after coming from behind to beat 10-man Burnley 2-1 at Elland Road.
After two predictable results on the spin for Leeds at Derby and Barnsley, it was Burnley's turn to endure their very own deja vu. We seem to have more bogey sides than anybody else in the Football [...]

As Leeds United fans left Oakwell on New Year's Eve, the discontent was palpable. Many supporters felt Simon Grayson had one game to save his job. Andy Lonergan today revealed the players themselves held an inquest into the embarrassing defeat to our noisy neighbours.

The FA Cup third round tie at Arsenal tomorrow night is a welcome distraction from the rigours of Championship football, but Leeds United boss Simon Grayson will be hoping it is not the start of an energy-sapping cup run.

Leeds United all but admitted defeat in the Championship promotion race today when they announced club captain and longest-serving player Jonny Howson was on his way to Norwich City.
