 Ahead of the anticipated release of Bielsa Rhapsody, Micky P Kerr spoke with our Keith Ingham about his support of Leeds United and how the song came to fruition.
I started to follow Leeds whilst I was at Primary school, my first season supporting Leeds was 91/92, it was a pretty good season for us that. Shame I was too young to appreciate it properly cause it probably won’t happen again in my lifetime! One game that stands out is 1-0 win over Liverpool, Yeboahs volley, was sat in the East stand, incredible. There have been so many moments and games over the years though, it’s my team. I was there for a lot of games in league 1 too, I was also there in the champions league. I started a podcast about football chants (although it’s not REALLY about footy chants if I’m honest, it’s just 5 lads talking footy and being daft) as me n me pals like to make up our own. I remember being in bed one morning and Bielsa Rhapsody came to me, I’d thought of the title initially and then I just lay there as my weird brain did the rest. Then I printed the words out and gave em to the lads.

Pawel Cibicki, who returned from his loan spell at Norwegian club Molde is expected to move permanently in January, at least one MLS has expressed an interest in the striker. It was expected that he would be given an opportunity to impress Marcelo Bielsa after scoring three goals in thirteen appearances for the Norwegian side managed by Ole Gunnar Solksjaer. It now seems to be that Leeds are keen to move the striker on as he has still eighteen months on his contract to go. Leeds drawn away to QPR in the 3rd round of the FA Cup.

Tuesday 4/12 Marcelo Bielsa on Aapo Halme: “He had a balanced game and was not impressed by the importance of the game. He played at a good level when he had to play aerial balls and recover the ball. Regarding the use of the ball, he had the same inconvenience as the other players of the line of three”. “We took this game as a possibility to compare it with the game against West Bromwich (Albion)and we had special interest in not making a mistake."  As we head into the busy Christmas period and enjoy not only all the football ahead, but also the shopping and meals; we must remember that some are less fortunate than ourselves.
Working with Lufc, the Leeds United Supporters Trust are asking fans to donate what they can to support two of Leeds’ biggest food banks. The drive will take place tomorrow Saturday 8th December and will be held outside the East Stand prior to the game. Supported by both Leeds United’s CEO Angus Kinnear and the players that many fans will see on Saturday, the need for support has never been bigger as several families prepare for what could be the hardest winter in years. Last year the two food banks had provided food for a total of 18,563 people, which also included 6,901 children. The Leeds United Supporters Trust has given this list of items; Dilute Juice Tins of fish/tomatoes/potatoes/veg Mash/Smash Custard Rice Pudding Cereal Pasta Sauce Long life fruit juice Coffee Toiletries Supporters can also pledge cash donations if they can’t make the game online here: https://bit.ly/2DZSSzw. At work, we’re working on providing the biggest donation we can collect for the hungry and we are sure that most of the people that read this are doing the same. However, any support that can be done for Saturday would not only be appreciated by the club and the Trust, but also families who really need it this year.

Elland Road, Leeds 10:30am to 1:30pm - Free Entry Sunday, 9th December The fair will not only be accompanied by Billy’s Bar being open to all, but there’s the potential for stocking fillers at both the fair and the club shop. Future fair updates; Sunday 14th April 2019 Giant Yorkshire Annual Collectors Fair Saturday 25th May 2019; Pudsey Civic Hall 11-2pm  Leeds have bin hit with another injury crisis in what seems like a season the medical staff will earn a heavy Christmas Bonus. Injuries to both Liam Cooper and Stuart Dallas in Leeds’ 1-0 win over Sheffield United are set to keep the pair out until after the new year. Cooper, who seemed to have suffered a bad knee injury has been flown to Rome in order to receive surgery and is expected to miss the next four to six weeks while recovering.  Although the centre back will be a huge miss for the Whites, the emergence and impressive play of Aapo Halme should ease any fears of Leeds struggling to make a strong side for key clashes against Aston Villa, Hull and Nottingham Forest.
Whereas as the loss of Dallas, the sides only remaining full back fill-in should be a bitter pill to swallow. Although his performances have been suspect, he had been Bielsa’s only option and had began to fulfil the role successfully over the past couple of matches. Dallas is set to miss the next four to six weeks with a fractured foot, adding to the woes is the fact both Luke Ayling and Gaetano Berardi are set to be out for the new year. This leaves Tom Pearce and Barry Douglas as the only viable options at full back.  Thursday 29/11 The Rise and Rise of Bailey Peacock-Farrell: From nowhere to hero in just twelve months. Many Thanks to the YEP’s excellent journalist Phil Hay. Ex-Leeds United Robbie Keane striker announces his retirement from football. The Irish striker played forty six games from 2001-02 and scored thirteen goals for Leeds. We wish him well.   Here’s our half time interview with a Rival and this time it’s a Mr and Mrs Sheffield United version! How long have you both supported Sheffield United? Nicola Winters: I got my first season ticket at the age of 4, so 26 years Lee Mohindra: I've supported The Blades for 30 years What’s your favourite moment as a ‘Blades’ fan. Season, game or anything other occasion. Nicola Winters: For me, it was the play off semi final back in 2004 against Notts Forest. It was the second leg at the Lane and it ended 4-3. Late goals in extra time and a great time to be a Blade. Warnock was in charge, we'd had a fantastic cup run that season, and it really felt like our year....didn't turn out that way though! I have to say, shutting the Wednesday fans up with Duffy's goal during the Sheffield Derby at Hillsborough last year was also a highlight! Lee Mohindra: Winning 5-2 at Leicester City on the last day of the season back in 1990. Funnily enough, Leeds and Sheff United were promoted to the top flight and Sheffield Wednesday were relegated! All in all, great memories. Tell us about a player that you were proud to have on the back of a shirt, if you didn’t is there one you wished you would have. Nicola Winters: Tough one that! Ndlovu is definitely up there; he was an exciting player, and we could do with someone similar this season to give us the edge! Micheal Brown and Jagielka too. And not forgetting a golden oldie, Dane Whitehouse (a childhood hero!). But if I had to pick I would go with Harry Maguire; such a brilliant attitude, reliable centre-back, came through the ranks at the club, and I always thought he showed great maturity in the way he played. Lee Mohindra: Brian Dean. All day long. Absolute legend and my hero growing up.  You wouldn’t be remised to see both a Brown or Deane shirt worn by both Blades and Leeds fans.  Monday 19/11 On this day in 2005; 70 minutes: Southampton 3 Leeds 0 86 minutes: Southampton 3 Leeds 4  Liam Miller celebrates the winner. |
