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!

MATCHDAY details for past Leeds games on 28th December! A penalty & 2 own goals in United's favour, no hat-tricks but a couple sent off #OnThisDay! No reds today though pls, a modern era record to uphold! Luciano Becchio a birthday goalscorer in 2008! Common score for my Xmas fiver = 5 x 2-0! #lufc

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!

Revisiting Daniel Farke's past Premier League outcomes at Norwich City, when after a record run of consecutive defeats he finally won a game... and was sacked! Doubtful that's happening after Leeds United's win against Chelsea though.... #lufc
