Leedsista Libre

Another from this time in 2018/19, when Marcelo Bielsa was asked afterwards about heart attacks. "When you change the destiny of the game in the last seconds, you have to take into account (that) hazard." Quite so, Marcelo, quite so.  Leedsista Libre is a free podcast by Daniel Chapman, aka Moxco/Moscowhite for stupid internet reasons. I'm a writer, of the book 100 Years of Leeds United, the film Do You Want to Win?, and of loads of things at The Square Ball, where I was also editing the magazine for yonks and talking on the TSB Podcast for years.    Since 2017 I've been reading my writing out loud for people to hear on the internet, and on Leedsista Libre I'm sharing highlights — or lowlights, this is Leeds United after all — from those years of writing.    New writing about our consistently daft Super Leeds football club can be found by visiting Leedsista.com.

Back to Christmas 2018, and a day only football can give you. Humans have done a lot of damage to this planet over millennia. But over the last 150 years some humans have kicked a football into a net at just the right moment and made it all feel like a price worth paying.  Leedsista Libre is a free podcast by Daniel Chapman, aka Moxco/Moscowhite for stupid internet reasons.

Written and recorded in 2019, about a game from December 1991 that gives a rare glimpse of Howard Wilkinson's great Leeds United midfield — Gordon Strachan, Gary McAllister, David Batty, Gary Speed — in their title winning form.  Leedsista Libre is a free podcast by Daniel Chapman, aka Moxco/Moscowhite for stupid internet reasons.

From 2017, and possibly still relevant now — an essay I wrote about how neglecting Leeds United's past for so long means there is a lot of catching up to do, and that conversations about the merits of one player or another quickly veer into disbelief that Bobby Collins or Jack Charlton or numerous others weren't publicly acknowledged somewhere at Elland Road already.  Leedsista Libre is a free podcast by Daniel Chapman, aka Moxco/Moscowhite for stupid internet reasons.

It's too easily forgotten, I say, that Jesse Marsch took Leeds United to a cup final. This is from December 2022, when the Festa d'Elx trophy was at stake, and nobody knew if a draw meant penalties, a dance-off, competitive hot dog eating or what.  Leedsista Libre is a free podcast by Daniel Chapman, aka Moxco/Moscowhite for stupid internet reasons.
