Thread of some of the absolute horror shows I’ve witnessed since we last played in the Premier League #LUFC #WeAreBack
Gillingham 2-1 Leeds 10/8/04

A first away trip post relegation. 2-0 down to a club with scaffolding for a stand.

35 year old Steve Guppy was thrown on in a desperate attempt to snatch a point.
Leeds 0-4 Sheffield United 5/5/05

Simon Walton hauled off after 39 minutes to be replaced by Sean Gregan.

It didn’t help, ex Leeds youngster Andy Gray scores twice in the 2nd half to complete the rout.

Oh, and Paul Butler swallowed his tongue and nearly died.
Leeds 0-3 Watford 21/5/06

90 minutes away from a Premiership return after just 2 years away.

So naturally, we absolutely bottled it.

An embarrassment in the pissing rain.
Leeds 0-4 Stoke 14/10/06

Part of that disastrous run under John Carver’s caretaker spell.

35 year old Alan Wright’s only appearance for the club.
Leeds 1-1 Ipswich 28/4/07

A match that effectively condemned us to 3rd tier football for the first time in our history.

The final minute of injury time was delayed by 20 minutes due these “fans” invading the pitch...
Leeds 1-3 Oldham 1/1/08

The point the -15 point season began to fall apart.

Top for a short period on Christmas Day, New Year’s Day saw us 3-0 down by half time to a John Sheridan managed side.

At least Leon Constantine bagged his only ever goal for us 🙄
Leeds 0-1 Doncaster 25/5/08

5 years since these clubs had been separated by 4 divisions, a Wembley no show saw Leeds consigned to a season playing a division below the mighty Dons.
Histon 1-0 Leeds 30/11/08

A village with a population barely big enough to fill the East Stand.

The winning goal was scored by a fucking postman.
Leeds 0-3 Swindon 3/4/10

A 4th defeat in a row saw us drop to 4th, having looked certainties to win the league just a few weeks earlier.

This guy scored twice - might be worth looking at signing him?
Barnsley 5-2 Leeds 14/9/10

Leeds were ripped a new one by Adam Hammill that day.

I think we’ve been linked with him in every transfer window since.
Leeds 4-6 Preston 28/9/10

4-1 up after 39 minutes - easy?

Oh no wait, Jon fucking Parkin destroyed us with a hattrick
Leeds 3-7 Forest 20/3/12

Say what you want about Neil Warnock’s sides, but they are notoriously hard to beat.

Well, unless you let Gareth McCleary waltz through to score 4 goals
Leeds 1-6 Watford 10/11/12

Desperately waiting for our “saviours” GFH to complete their takeover, Leeds were a goal and a man down at half time.

Warnock made 3 subs, Austin broke his leg and the 9 men left on the pitch shipped 5 in the 2nd half.
Wednesday 6-0 Leeds 11/1/14

An absolute comedy of errors, with Brian McDermott apparently close to the sack at half time.

Matt Smith’s red card, Zaliukas’s drunken defending, and Jason Pearce wearing a shirt from the club shop were the 2nd half highlights.
Leeds 1-5 Bolton 8/3/14

While we awaited approval for our next “saviour” to complete his buyout, relegation threatened Bolton ran amok at Elland Road.

Cellino said afterwards that he’d like to “kick the arses of the players one
by one”

Only time I ever agreed with him
Leeds 1-4 Huddersfield 19/3/16

Surprisingly, the big hidings dried up a bit under Cellino.

Huddersfield made a special exception for us though.

Of course Nahki Wells scored.
Leeds 1-4 Cardiff 3/2/18

Thomas Christiansen’s spell had started with such promise. 6 months later, this is how it ended.

2-0 down at half time and with Berardi sent off, I walked out, sick of the sight of that smug gremlin Neil Warnock.
Leeds 1-2 Wigan 19/4/20

How? Just how did we lose this?

Wigan hadn’t won away all year. Leeds hadn’t failed to win having taken the lead all year.

1-0 up, Wigan down to 10, it was surely just a case of “how many”, wasn’t it?
Leeds 2-4 Derby

1-0 up from the 1st leg, Dallas scores early on to surely make Wembley inevitable.

I remember thinking when Klich hit the post “ah, it would be boring if we did it too easily”. Fucking idiot.
My god we deserve this moment, don’t we? #LUFC #WeAreBack
