When Leeds Utd Looked Like The Premier Leagueâs Future The 1999/00 Premier League season reaches⌠When Leeds Utd Looked Like The Premier Leagueâs Future The 1999/00 Premier League season reaches the winter of the millennium, and the title race briefly looks alive. Leeds United are top at Christmas, playing a young, fast, aggressive brand of football that Sky can sell as the Premier Leagueâs future. Harry Kewell looks like a star, Michael Bridges is flying, and David OâLearyâs side feel like the young challengers to Manchester Unitedâs empire. But United know how to survive winter better than anyone. In this episode, we look back at Leedsâ rise, Wimbledon spoiling the party, Arsenalâs discipline problems, Thierry Henry beginning to click, Chelsea fielding a starting XI with no English players, George Weah arriving at Stamford Bridge, Glenn Hoddle taking over at Southampton, Scotland v England in the Euro 2000 play-off, Roy Keaneâs huge new contract, Manchester Unitedâs Intercontinental Cup win, the FA Cup withdrawal controversy, the Club World Championship in Brazil, the Andy DâUrso penalty incident, and the huge title-race game at Elland Road. Was Leedsâ brand of football genuinely new? Did Arsenal lose the title race through mess and Europe? Were Chelsea already a modern club before Abramovich? And did Manchester Unitedâs 1-0 win at Leeds effectively end the title race before spring?
