Curtis Weston today terminated his contract with Leeds United.

The midfielder is part-way through a 28 day loan to Gillingham FC. However, Gary McAllister had made it clear that he was not part of this season’s plans, a fact confirmed by his squad number of 40.

Earlier this week McAllister had said that he needed to move people out of Elland Road before he can bring in another player. Yesterday Robert Bayly left and today Curtis acknowledged the the truth that his Elland Road days were over.

Weston is expected to sign a two-year deal with the Kent club this week. We wish him all the best in his future career.

Last season Leeds United took all three points at Huish Park on a Friday night to get themselves into the play-offs. However this Saturday they had to make do with a share of the points after Lloyd Owusu’s penalty cancelled out Luciano Becchio’s first-minute goal.

Becchio scored his first goal in a Leeds shirt with a low shot past keeper Asmir Begovic in the first minute of the game.

The referee said Paul Warne was fouled by Paul Huntington and Owusu’s equalised from the penalty spot despite Casper Ankergren saving the initial shot.

In a match that was heated at times both sides had further chances to score with the better ones falling to Yeovil.

Leeds United manager Gary McAllister ended the game disappointed. Last year Leeds started with seven wins on the trot, so far this season they have had a win, a draw and a loss in the league. They seem to have saved their best form for the Carling Cup where they beat lesser opposition Chester City 5-2 in the first round. Leeds face a tougher challenge against Crystal Palace in round two this coming Tuesday and this game was far from ideal preparation for it.

Lively Oldham Athletic winger Chris Taylor scored twice in the second half to give Oldham Athletic their second successive league victory at Elland Road.

Taylor scored with a close-range shot after Lee Hughes’ header came back off the bar.

The Gefusspo have moved quickly to spoil the start of the season for Leeds United fans.

Their first game of the season - away at Scunthorpe United’s Glanford Park, will now kick-off at noon. So while everyone else gets to enjoy a beer and relish the anticipation of the long-awaited start to the new season Leeds fans get to suffer an equivalent case of premature ejaculation.

So the Gefusspo have spoilt the Scunthorpe United and Peterborough United matches - which will be the next little police force to raise its trembling hand and say, “please sir, may we be excused too; we can’t cope with Leeds fans either..”
