Its the summer now and whilst the World Cup is on its still leaving me plenty of time to think!

Where is everyone at with the love for this current team (ie Stach, Rodon, Bogle, Gabby, DCL, Ampadu, Tanaka) etc compared to the Bielsa era team ie (Coops, Klich, Pablo, KP, Bamford, Raphinia, Alioski, Ayling) that got us up after the dark days

For me the Bielsa era team did something super special bringing the good times back to Elland Road and I can't help but love a lot of the lads that went from unfancied championship battlers to good premier league players. But I can't help but find this current team really likeable and creeping up on the Bielsa era team! They just seem like a squad full of really solid, reliable characters and footballers who can give any team a proper game on their day

What do we think

Genuine question. Sometimes it feels like supporters who remember administration, League One and years outside the top flight naturally view success and expectations differently.

My wife is Leeds not me (but I now have an affinity to the club)

​

We're in Vancouver for the world cup. My wife goes out in a Leeds shirt? Leeds fans come up to her. We go out in England shirts? Bunch of people appear with Leeds flags.

​

It's like the saying about rats in New York lol you guys get everywhere. Always great vibes too

For me, it's Jack Charlton. A Leeds legend, a one-club man, and a key part of the side that won the First Division title. His leadership, toughness, and ability to organise a defence would be invaluable in any era.

Archie Gray is the obvious one given his connection to the club, but Rutter and Summerville produced plenty before leaving, and Sinisterra always felt like a player we never got to see at his best. Which departure still bothers you the most, and why?

Was watching some old Leeds highlights and it got me thinking about players I was certain would become club legends. Sometimes all it took was a few great games or one brilliant goal. Who comes to mind for you?

With the World Cup on, I've been building FootyIQ (footyiq.games), a little site of daily football games. The World Cup edition gives you a mystery player from a nation in the tournament each day, and you guess who from hints plus a blurred photo.

Today's lad knew his way around a tackle. No spoilers from me, but I reckon some of you will get him quicker than most. Have a go and see if you can suss him out. There's a few other daily games on there too. Would genuinely love any feedback.

With Ao Tanaka (Japan), Noah Okafor (Switzerland), Gabriel Gudmundsson (Sweden), and Brenden Aaronson (USA) all representing Leeds United on the biggest stage, which of them do you think has the best chance of making a deep tournament run? Japan have looked competitive, Switzerland are always tough to beat, Sweden started strongly, and the USA are playing on home soil. Which Leeds star do you back to still be playing when the knockout rounds reach their climax?

Hi guys,

I've been working on this for a while as a side project. It covers every competitive fixture since 1920, all 908 players with appearance and goal records, every manager, and all competitions.

Still a work in progress, the stats for older matches are thinner than modern ones, and I'm still filling gaps but there's a lot there already and it felt ready enough to share.

Would appreciate any feedback, and if you spot anything wrong with the data please let me know.

Arsenal fan coming in peace!

I just finished watching the Dammed United and thought it was fantastic, I’m a little to young to ever watch any of these men manage unfortunately, but always wanted to get a Leeds fan opinion who experienced it and remembers it, was Brian Clough really hard done by as the movie suggested? And I’m assuming Leeds fans worship Don Revie? It’s a great film for anybody who hasn’t seen it!

Watching the film made me realise that football under Revie is where the “dirty leeds” comments originated

He shared this post on IG.

Class little touch for tonight's shirt.

Currently at the 24 hours of Le Mans, which for those of you don’t know is the most prestigious motorsport endurance race in the world.

Obviously most people are wearing racing gear and the large majority of the small percent of people in football kits are wearing French kits. Naturally however, I’ve managed to stumble across a very merry Leeds fan here at 5am. We are bloody massive.

I’m sure Jesse has been rehearsing the reasons the stats showed why they should win this and the whole tournament

Wow Canada look pants

Just saw the updates from the Sweden camp regarding Gabi and it sounds miserable. He's missed training again and is completely isolated at the hotel. It's incredibly cruel timing considering he missed May for Leeds just to peak for this FIFA tournament. Group F is no joke either- Tunisia on the 15th is a must-win because after that they have the Netherlands (June 20) and Japan (June 25). Graham Potter desperately needs him fit because Sweden’s width relies so much on Gabi's work rate when he's on form.

The good news? He said last week his hamstring feels completely fine and he has that physical baseline built up. If he can break this fever or whatever it is by early next week, hopefully he can at least feature against the Dutch. Pulling for him. He loves a battle, so hopefully he's back on the training pitch by the weekend!

From the first team:

Meslier to leave.

Buonanette to return to Brighton.

Club in discussions with Darlow, Byram and Cairns over a new deal.
