Starring Michael Sheen as Clough, the film opens in select U.S. theaters today (it already ran in the U.K. and Ireland). It tells the story of Brian Clough's tumultuous 44 days in charge of Leeds United in 1974.

THE SITTER – How Missed Chances Can Destroy a Nation

KICK THE BALLS 19 September @ 06:40 PM EST

It's called a sitter. The ball is right in front of the goal, it's easier to score, harder to miss, but somehow the ball refuses to go home to the net. The player's face is agape in disbelief. He has missed a sitter. And he will be remembered for it. It might be the only thing he is remembered for.

Leeds United v Liverpool; Two English Giants Reunite in Carling Cup

EPL Talk 17 September @ 05:29 PM EST

Leeds United v Man United, 1968-69: Video Flashback

EPL Talk 07 September @ 06:42 AM EST

Today's video flashback is from the late 1960s when two quality teams, Leeds United and Manchester United, faced each other at Elland Road.

The video footage is interesting for several different seasons. It's in black and white. Plus you get to watch the opening of the show for a program that's simply titled "Football" with its title music that sounds like it's going to be the Match Of The Day theme but quickly transpires into a different song.

Ken Bates: Hate Me More

Pitch Invasion 30 July @ 11:45 AM EST
From the man who wanted to bring in electric fences to Stamford Bridge in the 1980s come these words of moderation, conciliation, and fan friendly compromise to Leeds protesters: What a few fans are trying to do is cause trouble. They wouldn't give a s**t if Vladimir Putin bought the club as long as it was [...] Click to continue reading...
