What a man! Had the absolute joy of spending time with Eddie and 250 Leeds fans at Guiseley Theatre in Leeds.

He had us laughing, told some brilliant stories and shared some really lovely memories.

And to top it all off, we raised £3,500 for Guiseley Theatre!

Eddie, you're a legend. Thank you for such a special night

Hi guys I normally don't do this kind of thing but I'm a 33 year lad from preston who's a lifelong leeds fan and was wondering if there's anyone that plays fc27 clubs that I could join? I'm not the best player but I'm decent. None of my mates play fc27 and I actually don't have any friends that are leeds fans besides my dad. I know its sad but I'm hoping to make my daughter a leeds fan. Being a prestonian means growing up with scum, Liverpool or arsenal fans so I was just hoping to join a group who I could have a laugh with and talk some football with also if possible. I play on ps5 but don't mind cross play. With work and family I try and play in the evenings and weekends. Not looking for something super competitive just a bit of a laugh.

City is going to be relegated

He will leave…

We are his childhood club…

Prob 27 though

Middling ratings for most. Highest rating for DCL just beating Muharemovic. Lowest rating for Okafor followed by Stach.

Reposting because I left Gudmundsson off like a clown. You don’t have to do it again if you’ve already done it

Take a look at Leeds all-time record against Man Utd (from the 1st game in 1923 to the most recent), and see if you can guess all 36 players who’ve played for both clubs in that time, here:

On this day last year we lost 2-0 to Burnley, so let’s hope for better today! See every recorded Leeds match played on 18 October: leedsinsandouts.com/on-this-day

What If… Erling Haaland Signed For Leeds United? Part 2: The Bielsa Revolution 🤍💙💛

I’ve been writing an alternative Leeds United history exploring what might have happened if we’d signed Erling Haaland from Molde in 2017.

Part 1 explored how the transfer might have happened. Part 2 takes us to the summer of 2018, when Marcelo Bielsa arrives at Elland Road.

And this is where things start getting really interesting.
We all know what Bielsa managed to achieve with a squad that had finished 13th in the Championship. Phillips, Klich, Dallas and so many others became almost unrecognisable under his management.
But imagine adding a 17-year-old Haaland to that dressing room.

What would Bielsa have made of him? How would the Norwegian have coped with Murderball? And how different might the club’s future have looked?

The more I researched the circumstances surrounding Bielsa’s arrival and the decisions Leeds made that summer, the more I realised that Haaland’s presence could have had some pretty extraordinary consequences.

And not necessarily the ones you’d immediately expect.
I’ve explored those possibilities in Part 2, which you can read here.

Would be genuinely interested to hear what other Leeds supporters think. Could Bielsa have developed Haaland into the player he eventually became, or would the Championship have been too much, too soon?

Lmao this is unreal hahaha 🤣

5-0 prediction!

I'll take 1-0.

I didn't even realize that Liam Cooper was now playing for Wednesday.

(Kalvin Phillips gets praised for Sheffield United in the same paper.)

Daniel Farke and Leeds United have reached an agreement in principle on a new contract running to 2029.

The formalities of the deal still need to be finalised before it can be signed, but there is broad agreement on both sides about how it will be structured, according to sources with knowledge of the process, not authorised to discuss it publicly.

The manager’s current contract expires at the end of this season. Farke has been asked about his future in several press conferences since the start of the campaign.

I was really pleased to see James Justin score against Arsenal. Taking the lead away from home against a side of that quality was a great moment, and Leeds showed they could compete rather than simply sit back and defend. Performances like this show why Justin can be an important player for the team. He can keep contributing at both ends of the pitch as the season moves forward.

Can we please have a flair for data posts*? Thanks, Jimbob.*

We’ve done a great job limiting opponents counter attacks. Obviously this comes down to who you play this early in the season. But facing teams like Brentford, Arsenal, Newcastle, and Crystal Palace who all enjoy counter attacking football, it shows we are well suited to shut that down.

Our average possession for the season is 44.3%, so with less of the ball, it does lead to less counters.

We are 10th in xG conceded (8.80) with only 5 goals let in.

2nd best in interceptions for the league (11.3 per game)

5th best in clearances per game (30.5)

All per Footmob

Edit:

Just for comparison sake, stats from last season:
- our possession after 6 games was 43.5%

- average xG against was 7.4, which was mid table.

- average interceptions was 8.5 per game, mid table.

- clearances per game was 28.
