The Peacocks are called The Peacocks because there's a Peacock pub on Elland Road. But why was there a pub called The Peacock on Elland Road — let alone two? Let's investigate.

This wasn't just a new partner for Jimmy Hasselbaink. This was a player from the Ajax academy whose debut goal was set up by Dennis Bergkamp. Derek Lilley had never done that.

The next month at #Leeds pits the strength of strategy against the might of the fixture list.

When the aim is 16th and the team is 16th, does a club back itself, or not?

⭑彡 #LUFC x Trees FT

Not the way to carry on when you've gone 1-0 up

No idea why nobody was talking about picking up GW for 2-1, no idea why Harrison was the pick against Hutchinson

Still liked Nmecha's goal. James looked sharp. All get fit and start again in two weeks?

⭑彡 #LUFC x Trees HT

So happy to take a first half lead at last, so frustrating to give it straight back

Nice, lively goal by Nmecha but otherwise it's a stodgy carvery kind of Sunday afternoon so far

Milan, and Barcelona, and Kim Milton Nielsen, and UEFA, and probably Christos Michas, all stood between #Leeds and six more lucrative group stage games.

I didn't expect much from this game and got much less.

Okafor can beat a full back all day but then what? Brighton can answer that at their end but Leeds can't, the end.

Good of Leeds to crawl out of bed after going a goal down, morning lads, it's later than you think!

Setting them a second half target: try having a shot 👍

As Red Bull's energy football goes out of style, it's leaving frantic, effervescent players like Brenden Aaronson marooned on uncertain, shifting terrain, trying to learn what RB never taught them.

Wood was hard for #LUFC fans to warm to.

Genial enough but lacking some note of charm, he looked like a wanly smiling tree when all fans could see was the murky forest.

My A-Z of #Leeds players since 1992 reaches Chris Wood:

This game almost produced one of the goals of the decade. It's just over twelve years since the last one, and just about the only chance I'll get to compare Brenden Aaronson, favourably, to Rudy Austin.

119 years ago tomorrow:

David 'Soldier' Wilson, Leeds City centre-forward, took to the field for the last time.

He embodied the #LUFC side before self spirit before Leeds United existed.

But who was he?
The death, and life, of David 'Soldier' Wilson
On 27th October, 1906, a young Leeds City footballer died during a match against Burnley. That much was known. But over the years what else was known about him has become mixed up and forgotten. Here is the story of the death of David 'Soldier' Wilson, and the story of his life.

According to UEFA live television coverage was being requested by seventeen countries.

#LUFC were ready to turn the 4-0 scoreline from six weeks ago into motivation for sweeping Barcelona out of Europe.

Seeing Aaronson hit the bar there was like Rudy Austin vs QPR all over again, the greatest goal never scored

Otherwise, grindiest of grinds and the stupidest ending

Have to be better against an actual football team next week!

(Attwell. Fuck off)

⭑彡 #LUFC x West Ham HT, at last

Biggest threat to Leeds in that half was Stuart Attwell punishing our players for being more punchable that he can resist

Otherwise, WH defence look like they hate each other, themselves and football

Hoping for a shorter second half

Whyte's skills had been polished in the States, and he started his #LUFC career by dribbling past two Scarborough players and shimmying around the goalie to score.

More important, though, was his impenetrable consistency alongside Chris Fairclough.

Not taking three points from this relegation rival means those three points will have to be taken from better teams later.

So #LUFC need to become an even better team, soon, if they can.
