Going up for my first game this season tomorrow, can't wait. Ill be in the moot hall pub of you fancy a pint.
Apparently 2 big announcements tomorrow, fans told to take their seats for 245, then another at half time. What do you reckon that's about? Stadium planning!

As mentioned on the discussion site. Hope this make the banter.
It's reported that Farke didn't include piroe in last match day squad cause there was no Room for him. Not cause of injury. But he included Namecheck instead of piroe. Plus 3 goalies.
I'm scratching my head to remember when 3 goalies were needed in one game. Surely piroe over 3rd choice goalie.
Thoughts?
26 Sep 2025 11:55:43
Which match are you talking about here Aus? The squad for the Wolves game shows both Piroe and Nmecha but only one reserve goalie - Meslier. The squad for the Fulham game lists Piroe as having a calf injury but includes Nmecha and again only one reserve goalie, Meslier. l.
26 Sep 2025 12:32:47
Aussie. Need 3 goalies in the squad in case of a pre match injury to one of them.
26 Sep 2025 13:32:07
It said wolves game. Obviously wrong. Thought Farke always takes three gk. Didn’t do my research. Believed what I read. My apologies.
26 Sep 2025 13:46:53
👍 🦘.
26 Sep 2025 14:44:00
Koch. How many times in the history of football have three gk been needed. Who are more likely injured? Gk or strikers? Generally in a game of football do strikers or gk have more one on one confrontations which could end in injury? I was wrong with my original post. Honest mistake.
Or was your post in jest. Second thinking myself now. Bugger.
Time to reveal Koch. Serious or wind up.
26 Sep 2025 16:25:05
Farke out Aus 🤣 I think if Donald Trump had said it i would says its true, wouldn't you😉.
26 Sep 2025 20:12:56
You don’t want to know what I think you were on to Aus. There isn’t a football team on this planet that would’ve two keepers on the bench, i wouldn't bother reading whatever it was that you were.
Obviously some obsessed anti Meslier click bait journo who hasn’t got a brain. !
26 Sep 2025 21:25:45
Aussie, 3 GKs sensible and for the avoidance of doubt I am a serious wind up! I'll come out next year if you want and I'll take you n trump with me 🤣.
25 Sep 2025 15:13:20
Right siblings, I have reviewed the season to date and can confirm the mighty Leeds will finish top half of the table, 6/ 1, get on! Well maybe 😅. The future is bright, the future is White UTWDTP to a thrilling season bruvvers an sisters 🤍💛💙.
25 Sep 2025 16:04:36
Great stuff, thanks for the dead cert tip Vid.
25 Sep 2025 16:17:23
Fantastic - that great news. I definitely feel if we can keep our key players fit a respectable finish is achievable.
25 Sep 2025 17:03:54
Well lads, say what you will about our recruitment, but it's starting to look very astute, apart from of course a statement offensive one. But you have to say Stach, Okafor, Gudmundsson, Longstaff, JJ, DCL at least look class and we have depth now. The biggest thing for me is team spirit and complimentary players. The ethos is fantastic and we will only improve in my eyes.
25 Sep 2025 17:08:27
Glad you're so confident. Me I'll be sweating and fretting until we're mathematically certain to finish 17th or above - hopefullu before my 78th birthday by which time we'll have just 6 games to go. 🤞.
25 Sep 2025 17:42:00
Bless you JR, don't forget, we are Leeds, we will rise, fret not, its going to be cool whatever happens, but we ain't going down, that's for cute blondes wiv big lips 😁.
25 Sep 2025 18:46:45
Get your passports out fellas.
25 Sep 2025 19:16:38
Don’t wish to down play the start to the season but how many of the ten new signings have actually improved the first eleven, so far anyway?
Stach and Gabby definitely. The rest still have lots to prove but it’s early days and I’m confident of staying up.
5/ 2 to get relegated. Shows the bookies fancy us to stay up!
Nobody as yet apart from arsenal has outplayed us and that bodes well I think.
25 Sep 2025 19:51:25
Of course I've no idea what you meant there. 😉
I've been watching them for 69 years now, since when they were the mighty blue and whites, and have long since learned not to get too exited by one good win, knowing it could all go t#ts up the following week.
25 Sep 2025 20:32:48
We will finish in the top 10. No doubt.
If our attack has a preseason together, we would be top six.
26 Sep 2025 01:06:48
Funny berm.
I want to see the next three results before feeling comfortable. We have looked solid and as was said, only Arsenal outplayed us. Nobody else has overly bothered us. But next two will come for the win and have started season reasonably well.
There is a discussion post if anybody interesting in giving their view.
26 Sep 2025 08:01:31
I agree Aus. Bournemouth have somewhat surprised me, iraola less so, as he is a great coach, but I didn't think the club had the clout to back him, but they've moved forward quietly. We have to be on our game defensively, but I think we can nab a win.
Spuds are still spuds; still don't know what you're going to get!
26 Sep 2025 08:47:30
Defensively we have improved a lot and for me this has a draw written in it, but we can always hope for a sneaky win. They have better quality in their squad and are always creating chances.
Our players will be up for this game to get a result, the win and goals last week will help the confidence.
26 Sep 2025 13:44:44
What OP said 👍.
25 Sep 2025 13:51:07
Bogle fit, James back training but Gnonto out.
25 Sep 2025 15:05:45
Pretty sure swap ba for James and we good to go. Same 10 as before. Although James needs to step up quickly.
25 Sep 2025 16:29:14
not much you can do about an injury.
26 Sep 2025 00:02:26
Rest James and Bogle. Don't risk it.
JJ can help BA on the wing. It's going to be a magic combo and a Brenda redemption arc.
26 Sep 2025 04:30:59
I suspect both James and Bogle will be 70 min subs. James maybe 80.
26 Sep 2025 07:35:01
Definitely start Bogle, it was only a bruised foot, can always sub him later in the game if necessary.
Also need Dan James upping the anti, but agree that his inclusions should be gradual as his fitness perhaps is not quite there yet. You can’t fault Aaronson’s work rate, like Harrison but for me neither has any end product, both need to occupy the bench in my opinion.
26 Sep 2025 08:04:36
I'm with Mot on this, and wouldn't personally risk either as starters. BA can run himself into the ground for an hour and give them no time to breathe, and we can give JJ a good run out. 2 great subs then to help us nick the win.
26 Sep 2025 17:04:08
Do we need James upping the anti, the ante, or the Aunty? I feel this is important.
26 Sep 2025 22:36:29
Auntie Alf are you my new spell checker?
You can if you want, I really don’t mind.
26 Sep 2025 22:49:51
How about Justin at RB and Bogle at RW?

24 Sep 2025 22:34:42
If Perri is fit for the weekend who starts?
Personally I'd stick with Darlow on current form.
24 Sep 2025 22:58:14
Agreed. On past history in such situations that's what I expect DF to do.
25 Sep 2025 00:03:16
Yep. Can’t drop Darlow in this form. Tbh. Wasn’t yet convinced by Perri so an in form Darlow can stay for a while.
25 Sep 2025 08:02:27
Absolutely Corkster. DF loves sticking if it's working so I would expect the same starting 11 as in the last 2 games, even though alas again this means BA on the right.
25 Sep 2025 08:39:42
In total contrast to my posts before Darlow played, I agree 100%. Darlow deserves to hold his place, and respect to him for changing a lot of minds thro his performances!
25 Sep 2025 12:23:05
Few weeks ago I’d of found that a stupid question however darlow has made himself the number 1 and the shirt is his to lose. Fair play to darlow and king may it continue.
25 Sep 2025 13:09:53
I was of the same matend Bright, but credit where its due, Darlow has stepped right up and looks better with each game. Looking at the options we have I struggle to see how Piroe gets back in, Okafor surely gets a run on tge left, right would have to be between a fit Willy or DJ and DCL looks to be our 9 all the time he stays fit. It's all good going forward and great we have JJ as cover for Boges. Gudmundsson is a real quality addition, love him and Stach too. Add to that Amps who is just class and you have to think AO has a task to get back in to!
25 Sep 2025 15:25:37
Perri isn't fit, so now a moot point. Not likely to be fit until after the International break. I would have stuck with Darlow regardless.
25 Sep 2025 17:21:15
Totally agree with all of that Vid!
24 Sep 2025 19:28:13
What's everyone's thoughts on the song "Leeds are falling apart again"?
Personally it drives me mad. I could see the irony a few years back but now it is just ridiculous imo.
24 Sep 2025 20:01:22
Like most 'songs' every club are now using it against their opponents- we're just not that special anymore ;-) And we should stop using it at ER.
24 Sep 2025 20:05:05
Still love it. Went to see Peter Hook play a gig in Manchester at a venue next to the **** ****hole, all I could hear the crowd sing was Leeds are falling apart again. It was great.
24 Sep 2025 20:07:36
Omg Corkey just called my therapist after reading your post, that bloody chant drives me nuts!
Hoping that now we’ve broken from the shackles of the championship it will be dropped I hate it all the more when our own supporters sing it though, happy place, happy place and breeeeethe.
24 Sep 2025 20:21:35
Those kind of labels don’t last long because the ones that are singing it are deeper in the shijt themselves 😉.
24 Sep 2025 21:02:16
Seen New Order last year in Dublin ILK, absolute class even without Hooky
Personally I couldn't care less about "" falling apart "" lads spending their cash so they determine. what ls sung on terraces.
24 Sep 2025 22:28:45
Drives me mad, it’s just a ‘Carp song’ at least insluts us when th a banger like livin La Vida loca or venga boys.
24 Sep 2025 22:33:05
I like it. It's a middle finger to the other team as their chants just fuel us on at home.
They can't win. Genius.
24 Sep 2025 23:00:50
It's had it's day, time to move on and sing something different.
25 Sep 2025 00:05:24
Hate it. Bloody annoys me big time.
25 Sep 2025 08:41:03
It's not going away anytime soon, if ever! Brasses me off a bit, but only because I loved the original track!
25 Sep 2025 14:20:32
What an album closer was. Think that was it. 50 yrs ago now. Used to listen to it in the dark in my bedroom as a kid. Means to end etc etc. hope my mind not playing tricks on me. Ever an album that would end in suicide. That was it.
25 Sep 2025 16:32:01
now you're talking Bermo - love the Venga Boys and their inspired lyrics. "Whoa, were going to eat pizza. " Who can't relate to that? brilliant.

24 Sep 2025 23:11:08
Agree with you about Stach ed, I think he's not quite up to the intensity of the PL yet, but think he can get even better, Okafor likewise. You didn't mention Gudmundsson who looks a real quality player every time I see him, an upgrade defensively from Firpo at LB, and not bad going forwards either.
{Ed001's Note - I so like Gudmundsson. He impressed me when I watched him to do his profile.}
23 Sep 2025 22:52:40
Am I the only one that thought DCLs header on Saturday was class? Went exactly where he wanted it to, way out of reach of their GK. Hope there's plenty more here that came from.
23 Sep 2025 23:47:05
It was class and both old school and new prem (headers crosses and big lumps coming back into fashion)
Reminded me of the hood old days of dorigo to champ man and not seen goals like that since Chris wood.
Refreshing and great way to score goals and create easier chances.
23 Sep 2025 23:58:36
He did well to get a good head on it and gk had no chance.
24 Sep 2025 06:39:13
Excellent header and should remind our fans what he is capable of instead of only focusing on his injuries etc.
The clubs medical staff believe if his training regime and game time is managed correctly, he can avoid muscle injuries. In my estimation I feel that DCL could arrive to his potential best at our club, let’s all hope he does.
24 Sep 2025 09:37:48
Superbly placed header, a great movement for it too!
And to add to OPs points, let's not forget that he turned down approaches from Man U and Newcastle, among many others, to join us, so we have a top player who also WANTS to be here!
24 Sep 2025 10:29:10
Think he wants to play and prove himself which would have been unlikely at manc or Newcastle. Let’s hope he succeeds.
24 Sep 2025 12:11:51
If true it’s amazing that we had a player who presumably took less money on the hope of getting more game time. Could have easily took the more money option and sat on the bench at either of them clubs.
24 Sep 2025 14:59:20
Great header. Heading is one of DCLs strengths. I think he is experienced enough to understand what a chance he has here to leave a legacy and be No1 striker.
24 Sep 2025 15:54:20
Great old centre forward type of headed goal. Great cross and superb header.
Football is all about confidence, especially forward players. Now DCL is off the mark, it hopefully gives him the confidence boost and belief he’s going to get another goal against Bournemouth. Football shouldn’t be complicated. In the modern game there’s not too many players that’s good in the air nowadays, so get the early crosses into the box for him, and he will cause plenty of problems for the opposition.
24 Sep 2025 20:06:18
Cheers guys, thought it was just me. His overall play is improving with more minutes on the pitch.
24 Sep 2025 21:04:52
Indeed Koch. I thought he also led the line brilliantly, and did not give their guys at the back a moments peace. Hopefully he can really push on from here for us.
25 Sep 2025 09:21:27
Think he needs to score a goal against a team of significance as Wolves don’t count and the header was a bit flukey.
25 Sep 2025 11:00:31
😂😂😂.
25 Sep 2025 15:09:12
Only bazopti would post that. Trying to attract attention. Not smart. Not funny. Just childish. Just like Baz. Zzzzzzz.
23 Sep 2025 21:40:59
Looks like Bambam is joining Getafe! Hope he smashes it up over there!
23 Sep 2025 22:12:36
Fair play you him wish him all the best.
23 Sep 2025 22:13:13
Hope he stays fit and enjoys his time there.
24 Sep 2025 00:03:55
Ditto. Good luck to him and hope he enjoys his twilight.
24 Sep 2025 14:46:57
Good servant, wonderful human, hope he knocks them in for fun, surprised Corberan didn’t go after him, but even if he doesn’t play be lovely and warm!
24 Sep 2025 15:56:01
Great lad. Wish pat all the best in his future career.
25 Sep 2025 21:35:11
All the best to him and that the move is a success.
