nothing was said about the final league position, very terribles tic tacs that never worked on the field, the fall outs with players, the alleged scrap with ***** ***** and **** ****** after the worthington cup exit,the poor signings of barmby, okon, lucic and bravo, the sales of fowler, bowyer and woodgate during january. None of us leeds fans like to be reminded of these events but there should have been more action shown on the dvd. I dread to think what this seasons will be like!!

Let's pretend it was all just a bad dream....
To say that the 2002/03 season was a disaster for Leeds United would be an understatement, and this end of season review (bizarrely titled "A few wins, a few tales and a season to build on") is more notable for what it doesn't include than for what's actually on it.
The dvd consists mainly of team captain Dominic Matteo being interviewed about the events of the season by John Bradley of Radio Aire, with highlights of some key matches that Leeds actually managed to win. Although the club's highly publicised problems are alluded to throughout, the interview avoids any specific mention of the sacking of David O'Leary; the appointment of Terry Venables; the sales of Rio Ferdinand and Robbie Keane; the acquisition of Nick Barmby, Paul Okon and Teddy Lucic; the new manager's bust ups with David Batty and Olivier Dacourt; Lee Bowyer's refusal to sign a new contract; the club's financial crisis; the "January sale" at Elland Road which saw the departure of Bowyer, Robbie Fowler and Jonathon Woodgate, the loan deal with Roma for Dacourt and the arrival of Raul Bravo; the subsequent sacking of Terry Venables; the appointment of Peter Reid; the resignation of Peter Ridsdale and the arrival of John McKenzie. There's also no mention of Leeds United's league position at any point during the season or the fact that we finished 15th! Weird....
