Didn't know he wasn't?


2.) 11 Apr 2026 20:48:34
He was flagged as a doubt in Farke's presser.

Yeah Archie has been one of Tottenham's best players for months, but they're gonna loan him to a Championship team!

False.

Lol, wrong Gray GS.


4.) 17 Mar 2026 17:30:22
Major blunder right there!. ?‍♂️?‍♂️


5.) 18 Mar 2026 07:37:10
Oopsa, GS. Big fail. Hilarious.


6.) 19 Mar 2026 13:32:23
Gray getting poor stats in that league is not good actually. Maybe needs to get a better team, but should still get better individual player rating.
Talking Harry GS. Not the other brother with a different name. ?

Whites sent scouts to Norway on Wednesday night to run checks on Bodo/Glimt winger Jens Petter Hauge.

Also understand Whites ran rule over striker Kasper Hogh, though it's the Hauge who is their main focus.

After last night's result, please can we have a check in whether DF should stay or go now?

Has beating Man United at OT for the first time in nearly half a decade made DF an instant legend and rendered him unsackable?

alftupper

1.) 14 Apr 2026 16:48:57
Depending on what's available, and, realistically, what the transfer budget is.

No point removing Farke for another mid tier manager, but if we could get somebody who's seemingly going places, I'd be happy to change if they set up to attack.



So, to answer the question, I'd still replace him at the end of the season. But only if we have ambitious plans. If the budget is poor, just stick with Farke for another season.


2.) 14 Apr 2026 17:25:53
Instant Legend Alf?

Steady on fella@!

But.
If Farkey wins Leeds United the 2026 FA Cup, then yes, Farkey would rightfully become an LUFC legend in the Baz Book.

Only the great Don Revie has managed that for Leeds United.


3.) 14 Apr 2026 17:27:26
Seems to me that it's almost impossible for some Leeds fans to give DF any credit at all for what he has achieved so far.
As we all know, that was a very long time ago that we last beat Man United at Old Trafford in the league, and the same goes for the FA Cup semi-final that we are currently in.
Not to mention promotion, with all sorts of record-breaking achievements in obtaining promotion.

Why change something that is not broken?
Even with a so-called accomplished coach coming in, it could take some time before he starts to get positive results, if at all.



Me, personally, I would give the reins to Farke for at least another two seasons before even considering booting him out.
We need someone who can navigate these first three or four seasons to get us settled in the Premiership. I think he is the right coach to deliver that, and that's not a hunch.


4.) 14 Apr 2026 17:43:29
What Lad2 said.

{Ed025's Note - i think his remit would have been to keep the team in the Premiership this season CO92..and i think he will fulfill that mate, so can you really sack him for obtaining his brief?..


5.) 14 Apr 2026 17:49:45
Well, for my tuppence worth, guys. I think we have to look at the bigger picture. When Daniel Farke took over we were in tatters. He rebuilt and got us 90 points and a play-off final. No small feat. He then had our star players stripped from us, rebuilt and won the Championship with 100 points playing attacking wing-based football. He then had to completely rethink the prem approach, bringing in different players for a different style which was always gonna take time to mould, and of course along the way there were doubts, my own included.

But, the big, big thing for me is the unity and mentality of the squad. Look how they fight for each other, the understanding of each other they have developed, the attitude. That has to be transmitted by the coaching, the players obviously are totally behind Daniel Farke. That's good enough for me. Why change it? Why destroy what has been built? If you like croissants, why start eating Weetabix? The unity, the passion, the belief is there because the players are allowed to develop under their tuition, and that has to be down to Daniel Farke.

{Ed025's Note - great post that Vid...kudos mate..


6.) 14 Apr 2026 18:01:12
But what if you have the chance to get a pain au chocolate or a danish whirl, Vid?


7.) 14 Apr 2026 18:10:16
Exactly, Vid!

There are not many seasons, since Mr Revie, where we can say Chelsea, Liverpool and Man United couldn't beat us in a season.

There has been only one other season since Mr Revie that we have got to a FA Cup semi-final. Supposedly "elite" managers have not achieved any of those things.

I don't regard him as a "mid Tier" at all; he's clearly a good coach and an excellent man manager.

I think, and have always thought, he could easily become a legend. Could be sooner than we think. [Hopefully!]

As for pain au chocolate or a Danish whirl, Aft; they often prove to be stale, disappointing and usually underwhelming!


8.) 14 Apr 2026 18:24:07
Couldn't have put it better myself, Vid. This is a good time to feel positive about our club, and if we beat Wolves on the weekend, I reckon it's all gravy there on in.
I haven't felt this good about our football club, team and coach for a long time.


9.) 14 Apr 2026 18:24:52
Lol Alf, this season, more than any other season, have a think. At the start Daniel Farke was odds on to be the first out of the door. How many have done that, and how often, and where has it got them? Continuity is massive, ups and downs are a certainty, journeys are always shortest as the crow flies. You want 4 managers a season and a relegation battle? We have what we have, and a lot of clubs would covet it.

How about, we could have a more successful season than Man U, Spurs, Arsenal even? Don't forget, we are building, we could win an FA Cup, we could finish close to top 10. For a newly promoted side that's massive. At the start of the season we could only really measure ourselves against Sunderland and Burnley, that's it!


10.) 14 Apr 2026 18:29:36
Ani.. Actually there have been two (not one) other seasons when Leeds reached the FA Cup semi-final since Don.

1976/77 under the quite underrated Jimmy Armfield.
And
1986/87 when Leeds had a very strong season under King Billy.


11.) 14 Apr 2026 18:44:21
Vid, you're on form tonight, pal, tremendous posts and well thought-out.
Good stuff son. ?


12.) 14 Apr 2026 18:54:11
Think Farke has now earned his credit for another season, without doubt. We have played very well a good few times this Seez now, and that's not by luck. To beat them at home, if it's followed up with a home win Saturday, us, surely 90% job done.



I know it's only 3 points, but when your backs to the wall and you're battling for points, it feels like 6 last night.

Well done Danny. ?


13.) 14 Apr 2026 19:02:50
For myself Ed025 it's nothing personal, I've posted previously Farke deserves every bit of praise if he keeps us up on a shoestring.

I've stated previously, that I think Farke has flaws (most do) but he's a very reactive coach rather than a proactive coach, as brilliant as the win was last night, I thought we ended up desperately fortunate not to concede lose, against 10 men.

This was exactly the same scenario as the West Ham cup game we retreated, and I think the majority of the games we have done this, it's been Amps leading the retreat and Farke does not address it in my eyes.

I do believe the players changed our formation which completely transformed our season and I still think senior players are calling substitutions.

I've said only recently we have the best spirit and togetherness of any team in the bottom half, if that's down to Farkey then brilliant.

I will fully accept if we keep Farke and would ONLY change for a Glasner, Iraola level of coach, if that's not possible then fine I'll cheer the team on,

I don't think it's wrong to want the best, swap Haaland for DCL etc, but I'm just being truthful when I fear for next (difficult 2nd) season if he's still in charge, but I've never personally attacked the man and I would love him to shove it down my throat.

{Ed025's Note - as a neutral CO92 i think he has done a really good job, recent seasons has proved just how difficult it is for a team who have been promoted to stay up, not only will you survive but you have locked horns with the top teams and have not been disgraced in the slightest mate, i dont think you have the strongest squad but what you do have is unity and togetherness...and that is down to the manager for me, i think the players respect him and thats massive, has he made mistakes?..of course he has but its forgivable considering how far he has taken you..


14.) 14 Apr 2026 19:29:45
It makes no difference what we post or say about Farke, in the end it's down to the board. They will not be asking us for sure, so let's just concentrate on the job ahead, get behind the team, come what may.


15.) 14 Apr 2026 19:31:33
Why are managers the heroes - it's the players that get us there. A good manager sees when things need to be shaken up, and when you don't mess with the team. A good manager can read the game and make the necessary subs. A good manager knows how to use all the tools available to him..

As to whether the players' display of passion for the shirt, the fans, and for themselves is down to the manager, or the lack of a good manager, we can all debate that.



I'd still like to know what changed his mind in the dressing room at Chity - because, Imho, if he didn't change, he would definitely not be the current manager.


16.) 14 Apr 2026 20:15:30
I think if you listen to any of the ex Leeds pros on the media, I don’t think I’ve heard hardly anything negative in their opinions of Farke.
As you rightly say, no coach is perfect, and errors will happen. With what Farke has got to work with, as in his players, I think he’s done a great job so far.


I’m already excited to see what he can achieve next season with more quality in the team.

In this football world of demanding instant success, I’m really happy to see a coach and his players slowly evolve together with unity.


17.) 15 Apr 2026 05:12:42
CA, I think from his previous two experiences with Norwich with very meager resources, I guess he's learnt that you have to adapt in the Premiership to survive, especially when you have a team that's low on quality compared to the rest of the league.

He had worked with different formations before in his career and it could've been his plan B if results weren't going our way after a certain period. It takes courage to do that midway through a match against one of the best teams in the league.



Some will just say he's lucky or whatever. I think he's a good coach who is evolving in this league and has the potential to even improve.

The negativity surrounding Farke I find is quite unfounded and largely blinkered. Swapping and changing your coach every five minutes to find instant success rarely works in my mind and is not the way to build solid and reliable foundations for a football team in probably the toughest League in the world.


18.) 15 Apr 2026 07:31:36
I'm torn. Is Farke still learning? Is he, and has he this season, shown the flexibility and adaptability to prove that he wants to improve himself? I think he has.
He has done a great job over his time with us, and always with tricky circumstances at the start of the seasons. He defo has the players onside, and working their butts off for him, and he defo gets the club, and the fans.


I'm torn because it's quite possible that we already have the big "upcoming, next big thing" gaffer, and it could be a big risk biffing him for someone else who might not have all the positives he already gives us!
I wouldn't want us to appoint someone who simply used us as a stepping stone for a few years, as Iraola clearly has done at Cherries!


19.) 15 Apr 2026 07:54:19
Class, just picking up on your point about the players and their influence.
I personally don't believe the stories that they have driven the change. It may have been discussed during training with his lead team, but no gaffer would allow himself to be undermined in the changing room by player demands. Just my opinion on that.
Where I do see the players as responsible is the sheepish, frightened displays in closing out games.

I watched Amps directing play backwards on Monday night, when we should have been pushing into the corners to use up time, pinning them back, not inviting the press onto our defenders, imo. That's an issue with the playing staff, but one that Farke is responsible for addressing.

Villa's equaliser away was late as well.


2.) 10 Apr 2026 10:11:24
Yeah, Alf. Poor in-game management by Farke, mainly to blame. That's a lot of points gifted away. Players have to take some blame, but a pattern repeating itself that much feels like it hasn't been addressed by management.


3.) 10 Apr 2026 12:04:55
Jeez that's some list.


4.) 10 Apr 2026 13:29:40
Indeed Feath, I think the above concentrate on 'injury time' goals, but we have conceded late goals in regulation time as well.


5.) 10 Apr 2026 21:24:43
It's not totally Farke's fault, as players should be made accountable. However, how many games this season have we been winning, only to sit back and defend deep for the last half hour or so? It's asking to concede, as constant pressure will normally result in a goal.
It'd literally scare the football out of the coach.

But my favourite, Ian Baird.. Legend.

Ian Baird, a superb warrior, 120%er. Class.. Every game!


3.) 08 Apr 2026 23:19:28
Paul Madeley
Peter Lorimer
John Charles.


4.) 09 Apr 2026 07:14:01
I had a few lock ins at our local with Gary Kelly, Hartey, Lee Bowyer, Michael Duberry. Met Viduka a few times in The Windmill in Linton near Wetherby. Bakke, Ferdinand, Dacourt, Batts, Gary Mac, Strachan, Yeboah, Whitlow, Haddock, Ormsby, Dorigo, Wallace, Vince Hilaire, Tommy Wright, Mills, Shutt, The Terminator, Hendrie, others, who don't just roll off the top of the head.


I had dinner and several bottles with Eddie on a few occasions, and I saw him at matchdays regularly while I was coaching his grandkids. He stands head and shoulders above any sports person I've ever met. A lovely, humble but strong man, with a cracking family.


5.) 09 Apr 2026 07:36:44
Ian Baird's diving header under Wilko vs Newcastle (The Sgt's 1st full season, I think?) was a thing of beauty. I still remember the YEP headline: "He flies through the air with the greatest of ease...".


6.) 09 Apr 2026 08:40:30
Fortunate to meet a few legends including Peter Lorimer, Gordon McQueen, Gary Mac, and Eddie Gray almost daily.


7.) 09 Apr 2026 08:48:32
Eddie Gray, Frank Gray, Paul Reaney, and others, but they are the ones I remember. In the days when you could watch them train at Elland Road. Now the car park is one of the many travesties of the modern game.


8.) 09 Apr 2026 10:07:02
Wow, Bright. That's some roll call. Nice one. Only footballer I ever met face to face was Trevor Brookings and Gordon Banks at Watford Gap Service Station when I cleaned tables as a lad.


9.) 09 Apr 2026 10:35:00
Too many to name, but here's a few. Billy, Eddie Gray, Peter Lorimer, Allan Clarke, Mick Jones, Paul Reaney, Big Jack, Norman, Roy Ellam, Rod Belfitt from the Revie era, then many more from later years.


10.) 09 Apr 2026 13:36:52
Think Bright or maybe Feath are winning here!


11.) 09 Apr 2026 17:36:22
Forgot my other fave: Ooh, Chris Kamara! Proper baller at 5 aside and sings like an angel!


12.) 09 Apr 2026 19:40:30
Love Chris Kamara, a real stand up man, great baller in his day as Bright said.
Even with his Apraxia he still exudes positive happiness, or at least in public he does.
An example to us all who find trivial things to complain about every day.


13.) 09 Apr 2026 19:58:14
Spot on that is, OP. He does have a "Bielsa-esque" air to him, and is quite openly an emotional fella. I'm pleased he hasn't done what most of us would possibly do, and retreat into hiding somewhat!


14.) 09 Apr 2026 20:50:50
I missed a Revie legend, Terry Yorath. Also, Duncan McKenzie from that era. I was lucky enough, in 2004-5 and the season after, to be on the pre-season team photos due to my work being one of the Club sponsors. I spent a lot of time around Elland Road on work business.


15.) 10 Apr 2026 02:31:28
My interactions were mostly beer related. Peter Lorimer used to be landlord of the Commercial Hotel on Sweet St, which was a regular meeting point for fans on match days. For midweek evening games, I'd go straight there from work, and have a few jars before walking on to ER. John Charles was landlord of the New Inn at Churwell, not far from my home in Morley, and I went there a few times just to meet the greatest footballer ever to play for LU.

When he retired from landlording, the job was passed to another ex LU player, Byron Stevenson, and John's son Mel was also for a time landlord of the Gascoigne Arms in Garforth.
Paul Madeley, of course, gave his name to a chain of DIY stores, although they were run by his two brothers - my only meeting with him involved a tin of Dulux paint - white of course.


16.) 11 Apr 2026 12:23:34
New here so go easy on me! Slight cheat for me - I worked in the commercial dept in the early 2000's (selling hospitality, sponsorship, advertising etc) , so met a lot of the O'Leary squad. The highlight, though, was meeting and working with Paul Reaney. Not sure if still the case, but he had the company that 'supplied' the Legends for the hospitality areas on matchdays.

I was also lucky enough to be introduced to John Charles too.
Aside from working at ER, I lived 3 doors down from Cantona (when he was playing for us obviously!) - me and a few friends pestered him to play footy with us, which he did when he didn't have Leslie Ash over. ;)


17.) 11 Apr 2026 21:03:38
Welcome aboard fella!


 

 

08 Apr 2026 09:42:04
I recall my first time with a condom. I was 19 or so.

I went in to buy a packet of condoms at the pharmacy. There was this beautiful woman assistant behind the counter, and she could see that I was new at it.

She handed me the package and asked if I knew how to wear one.

I honestly answered, "No, this is my first time. "

So she unwrapped the package, took one out and slipped it over her thumb. She cautioned me to make sure it was on tight and secure. I apparently still looked confused. So she looked all around the store to see if it was empty.

It was empty. "Just a minute, " she said and walked to the door and locked it.

Taking my hand, she led me into the back room, unbuttoned her blouse and removed it. She unhooked her bra and laid it aside, "Do these excite you? "she asked.

Well, I was so dumb-struck that all I could do was nod my head.
She then said it was time to slip the condom on. As I was slipping it on, she dropped her skirt, removed her panties and lay down on a desk.

"Well, come on, " she said, 'We don't have much time. "

So I climbed on her. It was so wonderful, that unfortunately, I could no longer hold back and KAPOW, I was done within a few minutes.

She looked at me with a bit of a frown.

"Did you put that condom on? " she asked.

I said, "I sure did, " and held up my thumb to show her!

It's the way ya tell 'em, Alfie! It's a cracker!

Funny, Alf, even though I was waiting for the fairly obvious punchline. ?

Looks like Spuds have brought in Rdz. Should we be worried?

alftupper

1.) 31 Mar 2026 15:03:59
Concerned, yep.

But, I would have been even more worried if Dyche had come in for the 7 games.. Spuds need to stop shipping goals, and he would have probably improved them on that.


2.) 31 Mar 2026 15:36:25
Don't think it matters who they bring in, 7 games is no timescale to wave a wand. It's more about the players, who is fit, who is up for a scrap, where are their leaders.

A manager, whoever he is, will take time to instill his philosophy and ideas. Their enemy is time. The Forest game was huge. Lose the next game, it's 6 left, etc. Tick tock.


3.) 31 Mar 2026 16:02:22
No timescale, yes, but they don't need to win a whole lot of games to be safe.
Don't think we can pour scorn on our fellow bottom feeders, as we are all in a pickle.

Regardless of Zerbi needing time, we need goals, and that's a serious problem also.



It's going to wire, probably even last day.
I have never bought "we will win enough home games" narrative, so if we lose another 1-2 we could very well move into 3rd spot to drop.

Squeaky bum time for sure.


4.) 31 Mar 2026 16:27:23
Was just commenting on Spuds, Chris, our situation is equally perilous unless we can start scoring, as you rightly point out, and get some points in the bag. If I was pouring scorn I would have pointed out Spuds approached RDZ after he left Marseille in February; he turned them down. They approached him after the Liverpool game; he turned them down again.

Now he accepts? They must have, in the words of Don Corleone, made him an offer he couldn't refuse. Smacks of desperation. What others do is up to them, what Leeds do is another matter, but we have continuity and the squad to finish the job, in my opinion, of course.


5.) 31 Mar 2026 16:36:57
We may not have the quality in our team, but we have bags of fight in all our players.
Are all the Spurs players up for a fight?


6.) 31 Mar 2026 16:51:21
I think fight is certainly part of it, and in recent games Spuds look like they have just given up and are resigned to their fate. The immediate challenge for RDZ will be to make the players care again and want, really want, to fight for the team and themselves.

No doubt many think they will just be sold, and that might impact their desire for a scrap, but who knows?

There's not just the fight but also the massive spotlight on them, with their new manager.
Nerves and pressure will be at their maximum, not just the players but their fans as well. If they go a goal down in any of their final games, the tension will be ramped up to its limits and beyond.
Rather be us than them.

My coaching pal at Brighton confirmed Rdz certainly is not missed at Brighton, known to be very petulant and sulks if he doesn't get his own way, nobody doubted his talent and tactical nous, but nobody missed the mood swings.

Agree with Baz.

(Ouch!) I would be more worried had Arry or Dyche gone in there with only 7 games left.

I'm more worried about our own drop off in form, especially in terms of goals. We need a bit more bravery from our coach, draws won't cut it.

Good man, Class. Makes sense.

I doubt very much Sean Dyche would have got anything out that Spurs team of inflated egos.
He had the best squad of quality players at Forest and failed.
Dyche gets a better tune out of lower quality scrapers.
I wished they had chosen him because 100% they would've gone down.

It was also so Tuchel could have a better look at DCL. He wasn't sent home because he missed a chance, and I'm sure that he showed enough to be in with a chance of going to the WC, should the opportunity open up.

The rumour is from a publication called Teamtalk as credited on the post. None of the rumours I post are 'mine'. ?

We will 100% certainly sell if the price is right, as that is part of the strategy. Recruit players at low value, at a good age, with high resale potential. It also works for the players we signed with a history of injuries - if we can sort them and / or improve the player, then we make money to reinvest.

This will be the way until we are established top 6 according to the plan, and the only way to even start to compete against the financial behemoths.

I did not know that, Ed - although if you have written an article about it in the past I probably read it and must have since forgotten that detail!

{Ed001's Note - it probably explains why Holyfield was quick to forgive.}

As previously communicated by our owners, the aim next season is to survive, consolidate and build. 15th - 10th place is the aim for the next 2 seasons (although they will take better if it is available) after which they anticipate us moving higher up in the league with the platform of a stronger and deeper squad, bigger stadium and more revenue.

This Wolves team looks very much like they are on the beach, and are making sure they don't pick up injuries with the World Cup looming. Should be an easy 3 points. The only ones who can deny us are ourselves.

In the heat of the moment, people can actually act instinctively, so it's not always that simple. Mike Tyson, for instance, when he bit Evander Holyfield's ear. Having said that, it is still a foul!

{Ed001's Note - did you know Holyfield lost a fight early on his boxing career for biting his opponent?}
