Last season LUFC had the 5th worst defensive record in the PL, conceding 56 goals. After 5 PL games this season we have conceded just 3 goals, the joint-best defensive record with Everton. Promising early signs following the summer recruitment of Trafford, Muharemovic & Elvedi. #lufc

I did some sums the other day. Daniel Farke has spent around £240m on new players since he arrived at Leeds in the summer of 2023. But we've also recouped about £205m in player sales over the same period. So a net spend of around £35m. And we're currently 5th in the PL. Not bad going. #lufc

I agree with Boris Johnson for once. Surprised Keir Starmer was hated so much by some.

Humphrey Smith, owner & chairman of Tadcaster-based Sam Smith's Brewery, has died aged 81. I think it's fair to say he was an, ahem, controversial figure.

Hormuz crisis: Trump in dire straits The new Private Eye is out now.

A photo of the front cover of issue 1671 of Private Eye magazine, with the caption “on shelves now.” The main headline reads “HORMUZ CRISIS – TRUMP IN DIRE STRAITS.” The cover features two side-by-side images: on the left, Donald Trump sits at a desk holding a telephone receiver with a speech bubble saying “I need help.” On the right, UK prime minister Keir Starmer sits at a desk in front of shelves of legal books, also on the phone, replying in a speech bubble: “We’ve known that for years, you nutter!” A strap-line at the bottom reads: “NATO’S MINEFIELD POLICY – ‘AMERICA FIRST’.”

If we were going down the route of signing lots of big, strapping lads over the summer & playing a more direct, physical kind of football, should we perhaps have considered appointing someone like Sean Dyche as manager? #lufc

Victor Orta's Real Valladolid knocked out in the 1st Round of the Copa Del Rey by Portugalete, a semi-pro side who play in the 5th tier of the Spanish football league system. Good to know the maestro hasn't lost his touch.😊

Valladolid conceded an equaliser in the 8th minute of injury time last night. They're 9th in the Spanish 2nd Division. I hope Victor started crying again. Though it might have depended whether any cameras were on him or not.🤔🤷‍♂️

Walked to the Co-Op this morning. There's a ginnel that takes you down the side of the local Primary School playing fields (LS27 area). Pleased to report that the kids in the playground were belting out "Marching On Together" followed by "We Are Leeds" at 8.40am.😁 #lufc

Looks like Victor Orta's next port of call is going to be Real Valladolid, who've just been relegated from La Liga. How does this cretin keep getting new jobs? Why employ a serial failure? And he'll be bringing his staff with him, so won't be a cheap appointment. #lufc

Brescia deducted 4 points due to "financial irregularities" & as a result relegated to Serie C. Will be deducted a further 4 points next season as well. Massimo & Edoardo banned for 6 months each. Of course they'll appeal. Stop me if you think that you've heard this one before.😉😊 #lufc

There's a Council by-election taking place in Morley next month because a Councillor has resigned. Received a Reform Party election leaflet through my letter box last week. "Make Your Vote Count" it said. Only problem is the Council seat up for grabs is in Morley South. I live in Morley North.🤔

Brescia could be relegated to Serie C because Massimo Cellino hasn't been paying the club's taxes, you say? I'm shocked. Not like he's ever tried owt like this before. He's always been so honest & upfront when it came to finances .🙄🤦‍♂️ #lufc

Important that Leeds get their transfer business done early because, as Ken Bates told us, players & agents go on holiday in July & switch their mobile phones off. They also unplug their fax machines.😉 So you have to get in early. Or late. Or preferably not at all in Ken's case.😉☺️ #lufc

The loud cheers that greeted Karl Darlow catching the ball twice from corners demonstrate how ridiculous it is that we've had a keeper in our nets for the last 5 years who hasn't done this as a matter of routine. 1/2 #lufc

Did anybody watch the documentary on C5 last night (10pm) about the Peeping Tom - former Tory councillor Robert Holden? Jaw-dropping stuff. A serial voyeur. Installed hidden cameras to spy on his female tenants over a very long period of time. He was a "pillar of the community" apparently.😬🤷‍♂️

Pleased to have won last night. One thing I disagree with Farke about is the use of substitutes. With another game at 12.30pm on Saturday, I'd have brought the likes of Gnonto, Ramazani & Byram on much earlier in that 2nd half. But 3 points the most important thing last night. #lufc

Wasn't that long ago that some Leeds fans were saying Farke's LUFC was boring & even calling for him to be sacked. Nowadays there's barely a dull moment in a Leeds game. Lots of excitement happening. Except when we play Burnley, obviously.😉 #lufc

Good away draw for Valencia at 5th-placed Villarreal last night. Valencia currently out of the relegation zone. Corberan quietly doing a decent job there. At one point I thought he might become our manager, but I guess he's in just about his dream job right now. #lufc
