Where's my post ed? It says published, but I can't see it.

{Ed033's Note - On the Leeds Match Posts page.

14 Apr 2026 12:19:21
Cheers Ed, I had completely forgotten about the Match posts section.

14 Apr 2026 14:07:59
One of those places I have never looked at ed, thanks for the direction. Do we really need that page though?

{Ed033's Note - The idea originally was that if people are remarking on a match during a match, those posts need to go somewhere other than the Banter page.

This week's football moaner of the week award is a joint award and goes to:

Michael Carrick and Bruno Fernández! 🤣.

14 Apr 2026 12:15:28
After a late contribution regarding last night's game, another candidate has been added:

Rio Ferdinand!

14 Apr 2026 09:15:43
Awesome. It has to be said, spot on selections, spot on tactics, spot on substitutions and perfect performance. Reality really is that this LUFC team can give a game and beating to any side in this league, with the exception of Arsenal of course. 😆😅🤣

14 Apr 2026 10:12:08
Baracus, only exception.
He was his usual self again last night.
Yes, he gets up & down, but he actually breaks up our own play.
Falling over, poor passes, it's endless.

That aside.
What an absolute team performance. Darlow 1-2 ropey moments, but other than that, excellent.



Lewin was a total annoyance to them. Guddy, just fantastic. Oka caused issues all game. Tanaka ran his heart out. Justin, excellent.

So, so proud to be a Leeds fan.
Surely we beat Wolves & Burnley at home. That's us saved now.

Great post, CC, and I totally agree on everything you said.
Aaronson is a liability, and, as you said, he actually breaks up our own good play.
Tanaka makes such a difference to the midfield, and he drives us forward.

He's not afraid to try an ambitious pass at times, and he presses the life out of the opposition.
Farke leaving Ao and Jaka out of the team for long periods has been a mystery to me.

14 Apr 2026 11:49:46
Spot on Chris, so so proud of the lads, dont mind admitting I cried! Overjoyed for everyone involved in our Great club. 😍🤩🤍💛🩵

14 Apr 2026 12:23:13
For me, a special mention for Farke. His 3:4:2:1 formation contained their star strikers and overpowered Fernandes in midfield. Sesko was in Struijk's pocket all night, and Cunha did absolutely nothing whilst Bogle and Gudmundsson gave their fullbacks nightmares. Everyone was good, and the fact that Lammens was rated their best player says it all.

14 Apr 2026 08:19:41
Great result. We always seem to do better when Okafor starts. AO seems to have got his mojo back. Good all round performance by the team and nearly safe now. Could be all but sorted on Saturday. Only down side we didn't convert as many chances as we should have and despite our dominance we needed an off the line clearance, in the last minute to preserve the points, against 10 men.

Thought it was going to be West Ham all over again.

14 Apr 2026 09:30:40
Spot on, Hess. I'm glad my GP did not have access to my blood pressure readings during that second half.

Brilliant effort from every player. Special mention to AO, who just brings energy and purpose to our play. Darlow made two excellent stops, and what a buy James Justin has been. He can play multiple positions and, as importantly, has slotted seamlessly into the squad, where fight and togetherness are making the difference.



Wolves next. As brilliant as this was, you still get the same amount of points, and Wolves is an unbelievable opportunity to get one foot in the safe zone.

14 Apr 2026 12:04:13
Good post, Hess.
I'm not sure Tanaka ever lost his mojo. He just wasn't being given minutes.

{Ed's Note - MK Scouser has posted a new article entitled, Slot, backing, and a big summer rebuild

14 Apr 2026 06:10:21
Woke up this morning and first thing had to check I had not been dreaming! Whow, what a result. MOT as always. Well done to all at the club, some other supporters around the country will have hated that! Well done Darlow - a couple of crucial saves.

14 Apr 2026 07:39:28
Prime, a great game to watch. Unfortunately, for me, I was in the home end, but got enjoyment listening to the home fans moan like hell. Thanks to my mate for letting me tag along. 😂

14 Apr 2026 08:04:48
Interesting experience, Whiteman. But you were there and saw it. Crazy night. Hoooraaa.

14 Apr 2026 09:03:43
Ausman, unbelievable mate, incredible. And didn't they moan about the decisions made by that fantastic referee? Well, I thought so. 😂

14 Apr 2026 09:17:53
Spose they thought sending off unjustified. Devon fans probably think a grown man pulling somebody's hair in a football match ok. Nah.

14 Apr 2026 10:21:29
Whether it's right or wrong for being sent off for pulling hair (although it is in the rule book) , it appears there is some justice over the whole season in the fact that we have had some shocking ref/VAR decisions go against us.



Tbh, they only started playing better when they were down to 10 men. It might have been a more conclusive second half for us if they had eleven.

14 Apr 2026 13:13:49
It was conclusive, Opti. 3 points. And 3 more than I expected.

14 Apr 2026 13:36:09
It could have been conclusive in the sense of a proper drubbing of 3 or 4 nil.
But I guess that's just being greedy.

14 Apr 2026 13:53:46
Yep. With better finishing. Coulda been a reality. But let's not go there.

14 Apr 2026 05:57:45
So great win, we could have been 4 up by the half, and 4 down in the second half. Ao Ao Ao has to start all 6 games plus the cup semi. We are a different team with him on the pitch

MOT.

14 Apr 2026 08:08:10
Should play ao rather than ba when stach back.

14 Apr 2026 08:29:09
Sorry, got to say it - AO, Let's Go!

14 Apr 2026 13:08:55
That I totally agree with, Aus!

14 Apr 2026 03:11:58
Well I be damned.
Christmas came early lads.
I’m gobsmacked.
Got my face stuffed with yummy humble pie this very moment.
What a game. What a performance. Coulda been 5-6 even.
The team played an excellent game. Tore them apart first half.

Every man played their part. Very well done lads.
That puts a heap of pressure on spuds and couple more wins and job done. Over the moon.
Just for opti. Was that the second game on the trot Farke was told when to make the subs. First amps and then DCL.

14 Apr 2026 07:26:47
Come on Aus, the players are not doing Farke's job for him. There's always communications between players and coach at moments of a break in the game, it happens all the time, mate. Watch Pep, he does it often.
The thought that Farke is winging his job as coach for Leeds United is quite funny, really.

14 Apr 2026 07:50:21
Think I'm right, opti, but leave it for another day.
Let's just enjoy the moment for now. I'm stoked.

14 Apr 2026 08:28:50
I didn't think you'd be changing your mind, Aus. 😂
We could be the first team to win the FA Cup with a fake coach!
