Leeds United Newspaper 17 - April 88. The Fight Against Racism, Billy sick about promotion bid, Shez ROI debut, Wembley review (it was dead!), Platini, Dalglish, Rush star in Charles/Collins testimonial. Simon Hurd wins pen shoot out! #lufc #mot #alaw www.flickr.com/gp/202272334...

MATCHDAY memories for Leeds in past 8th March games. Not a bad date - winning more than half #OnThisDay; clocking a decent amount of clean sheets (9 from 17); a penalty & own goal in United's favour, and no sending off. Note, won 5 of last 8 played #OTD 2-0, that's my £5er! #lufc

Recent back-to-back defeats/no goals scored at 'fortress' #EllandRoad - 2 years in April since that last happened. Not lost 3 (then actually 4) in a row since Feb/Mar 2022. First time failed to score in 2 home games in nearly 2 years & 20 years since Leeds failed in 3 consecutive! Sort it #lufc 😅

More from the cup fever #factfiles! I'm often praising Leeds for the long run without having a player sent off, there's also a decent run of that in the #FACup - 16 ties without a red card, the last being Saiz at Newport in 2018. 9 in history - only 2 at #EllandRoad being goalkeepers! #lufc

CUP FEVER details for Leeds in the #FACup! United have played 272 games in the competition. Includes 35 'Round 5' matches, 28 concluded first time. In total 114 played at #EllandRoad, winning 62, including 8 wins from 12 in R5. Penalty shootouts twice = Home loss, Away win! #lufc

A MATCHDAY look at Leeds v Norwich in the domestic cups. United have been drawn against #ncfc 3 times in past #FACup runs, with replays resulting in 6 games, (just 1 defeat). There'll be no replay this year though! A penalty shootout win for #lufc in the sole #FLCup fixture!

And to the MATCHDAY career spotlights for Daniel Farke and his Leeds squad against Norwich City. The boss has not lost against his former employers; there's a mostly decent return for United's players - even Meslier could be trusted against this lot... okay, maybe not! #lufc #ncfc

Another Championship opponent awaits in the #FACup and here's the MATCHDAY #factfiles for Leeds United v Norwich City at #EllandRoad. Beware, the Canaries are flying (not sorry!). The Whites need a big response to two frustrating defeats. Form: #lufc DD(W-pens)DLL #ncfc WWLWW

Another milestone coming up on Friday night as Leeds United play their 2400th competitive game at #EllandRoad. But let's hope it's the only one as the next time we lose a game at home will be the 500th competitive #lufc defeat!

Everton boss David Moyes has faced 8 Leeds managers in his managerial career - 13 games going back to 2002 - & overall had the upper hand. But United have fought back in latter times, including the obvious win back in August - but beware, we have never beaten him 2 games in a row. Yet...! #lufc #efc

And to the MATCHDAY career spotlights for Daniel Farke & his Leeds team. Eyes on DCL facing his old club for the first time and his goal-threat needed as they are short in the current United squad against the Toffees... so far! (Noah Okafor's first time v the Blues & he's overdue a goal!) #lufc #efc

MATCHDAY #factfiles for Leeds at Everton. We head to the Hill Dickinson Stadium for the first time; a welcome change of venue after just 1 win in 16 at Goodison Park, failing to score in 11 of them! Can Daniel Farke clock his 19th Home & Away 'league double' at United?! Form: #lufc dDLWW #efc WLDDW

MATCHDAY for Leeds on 26th Januarys. Not one United hat-trick, penalty, own goal or sending off to note but a reasonable date in our history. Everton will be our 9th straight away fixture #OnThisDay, the last #EllandRoad being 74 years ago! Most common score for my weekly £5er = 3x 1-1. #lufc

United had to exorcise a poor, winless record against an opposition manager last week & have the same challenge against Marco Silva today. The Fulham boss has enjoyed his clashes with Leeds - albeit only 1 of those unbeaten 5 at #EllandRoad. Daniel Farke's record shared on earlier spotlight. #lufc

And to the MATCHDAY career spotlights for Daniel Farke and his Leeds squad facing Fulham. The Cottagers were the boss's first opponents in English football & he is yet to beat them! As is United's new signing, Facundo Buonanotte, despite 5 attempts. Time for a change of luck... 💚🤞 #lufc #ffc

A return to BlueSky for the MATCHDAY #factfiles - here for Leeds v Fulham! Confidence good in the United camp but beware the Londoners who have had a great spell (unbeaten in 6, although last 3 been at home). Both teams know where the net is, expect goals at #EllandRoad!

MATCHDAY! A not so quiet 17th January in United's history - and it's Eddie Gray's birthday! Leeds have scored penalties, hat-tricks & had own goals in our favour #OnThisDay; none sent off, which we want to maintain for the ongoing 2 year run! 1-1 looks like the common score for my fiver! #lufc

#LUFC Nostalgia #OnThisDay & Stats @lufc-otd-nostalgia.bsky.social · 08/01/2026
Did I mention Leeds playing 100 games without having a player sent off yet? 😂 I remembered I had crunched some numbers three years ago so have revisited those tabs with the few United red card additions in that time - albeit none in the last two years. More data to follow in the coming days! #lufc

#LUFC Nostalgia #OnThisDay & Stats @lufc-otd-nostalgia.bsky.social · 07/01/2026
Whisper this to the person next to you tonight but if Leeds United avoid a red card at Newcastle we will have played 100 matches without having anyone sent off! (Over two years since Meslier at Preston; with 116 games since Rodon at Hull, Sept 2023; +63 at #EllandRoad since Firpo. May 2023!) #lufc

It's MATCHDAY - the 4th January not so great for Leeds with no victories in the last 6 games played #OnThisDay, just 1 win in 9! A couple of United penalties scored; no hat-tricks or own goals; but one sending off! Avoiding the 'most common score' fiver (being 2 x 0-1, 0-2 & 1-2 losses!) #lufc

A New Year MATCHDAY & Leeds have played plenty of games on 1st January #OnThisDay - including mixed experiences at Anfield! 5 penalties & an own goal in United's favour #OTD; no hat-tricks; 3 sending offs. Be happy splitting my weekly fiver on the common scores (7 x 1-1, 6 x 0-0)! #lufc

Leeds v Sunderland. Yet another 1-1 between the two, the 13th time in 98 meetings. United now 4 undefeated v #safc; a 4th draw in 7 meetings for Daniel Farke personally; 3rd goal in 2 clashes for DCL. And two whole calendar years without an #lufc sending off. Not so #DirtyLeeds!

Future #lufc icon: Watford's 17 year old prospect Tony Currie - a 2 goal league debut in 1967; 6 goals in his first 4 FL outings (including a hat-trick) & after hitting another treble for the Hornets before Xmas found himself at Sheffield United by the new year & scoring goals in Division One!

Get down to LS11 in the morning for your last minute Xmas gifts - I wonder if there are any more of those #lufc sweaters or the Trevor Cherry 'ignition' kits hidden in the corner of a storeroom 😅 A Leeds United football, £8.25 in 1976 - eck, that's nearly £60 in today's dosh!

Leeds scored 6 goals or more on 10 occasions between October 1965 & January 1970. Peter Lorimer played in 9 of those and scored in each one (missing the 10-0 Lyn Oslo game); hitting 19 goals in total. Between 1965-73 United hit 6+ x15 times; Lash played in 14, scoring a total of 27 from 12! #lufc

Continuing to track the comparison between Daniel Farke's promoted Leeds against those up to the top flight in United's past & against the last 10 season starts. Still behind the curve against the greats but those recent results have improved the picture! Onwards & upwards! #lufc

A first career win for Daniel Farke against Crystal Palace and more goals recorded against them for Dominic Calvert-Lewin (his 9th win in 17th games, with 7 goals!) - as well as first timers for Ethan Ampadu & Anton Stack.

Leeds back on course in the 'head-to-head' against Crystal Palace & a 5th team we could now achieve home & away league doubles over this season! Table updated - not much to change on the #factfiles but United should have had a penalty, almost an own goal or 2, & close to a hat-trick! #lufc

I'm a 'happy (keyboard) tapper' updating records this morning. Who imagined United's last 4 results after the 4 straight losses in Naff November? And just one more game without a red card and that will be two full calendar years - so far 96 games played - without a Leeds player sent off! #lufc

After two more home games without a Leeds player taking an 'early bath'... - 94 games now played since a United player sent off (just 3 weeks short of 2 full years!); - 111 fixtures completed since an outfield red card (26 months ago!); - 61 at #EllandRoad (30 months ago!). Not so #DirtyLeeds #lufc

What a night that was at a bouncing #EllandRoad! Records updated for the season; Leeds v Liverpool stats; United's last ten starts in comparison; and similar for other promoted #lufc campaigns. That's 15 games, 15 points on the board. Goals aplenty at both ends of late - we were even first on #MotD!

And to the MATCHDAY career spotlights for Daniel Farke (still here!) & his Leeds squad v Liverpool. Pretty miserable for the boss and most of the players but there are still shades of that famous United win at Anfield 3 years ago! 👀 Step forward DCL! Step in Darlow! Take care Struijk! #lufc #LFC

As at 14 games, Daniel Farke's promoted Leeds are just one win behind Marcelo Bielsa's start to life in the Premier League which ended the season in the top half of the table. The 2020 United sat in 14th place at this stage. #lufc
