Yes!

Brilliant. Mot.
And it has happened.

13 Apr 2026 22:21:17
Fabulous. 👌 Leeds United victory vs the auld enemy. Brilliant first half from the lads.
Farke, well done. 👏

{Ed025's Note - that must have killed you to type that last bit Baz.. :)

13 Apr 2026 22:28:12
Get innnn.. Well done, Farke. Might shut up the haters on here!
Up The Whites Down The Pints. 🤍💙💛

13 Apr 2026 22:31:46
There you go, a bit of belief in our team and the coach and victory.
Enjoy the win effect. 🍻⚽️
Trust in what we've got, gentlemen.

13 Apr 2026 22:36:03
Lmao 🤣 Ed025.but Leeds United winning and esp when beating Man United Baz be a very happy man

{Ed025's Note - im sure you are Baz...now say sorry to Daniel.. :)

13 Apr 2026 23:25:55
There's no haters on here.
Maybe, some get disillusioned sometimes?

14 Apr 2026 06:53:18
I agree there are no haters of Daniel Farke on here, but it is very evident that most, it would seem, would reward Farke for keeping us up in the Premiership with the sack, and would prefer a different coach.

Although I think most believe the owners would keep him on.

I make no apologies for my defense of DF, even if it does clearly irritate one or two on here, to the point, perhaps, it seems that it's not an option anymore?

14 Apr 2026 12:10:49
I like Daniel Farke and think he's a good coach, however, his team lineups are quite often a mystery to me.

Consistently leaving out Tanaka and Bijol at times makes no sense to me. Playing Nmecha wide left is another.

13 Apr 2026 19:46:21
Can one of you beautiful Ed's activate me for the live chat please?

And watching my beloved Leeds United play in our famous, beautiful white shirts away in recent EPL seasons is always more reassuring than when we play in away strips.

As in recent EPL seasons, when we play in white away, we usually play better; we do get better results, as we actually win some matches.

13 Apr 2026 19:05:39
A surprising lineup tonight?
Great Bijol, Gabby and Okafor fit.
Thought Gruev would have started but Tanaka deserves a start after his last appearance.
A win tonight and we are staying up!

You may all be aware I hate Devon with a passion. As most of us do. But reality is. Anything 2-0 and under. I'm happy. Purely looking at goal difference away and points at home. Let's hope Farke is too.

He is right in his presser that you can't go there and park the bus. No point. But. Mix it up mate. Surprise them a bit. No normal boring tactics.
However. Focus 100 on the home winnable games. 9 from here is enough.

13 Apr 2026 14:26:36
Hmm, 'normal boring tactics' from Farke for this game. Aus is very likely, imo.

..and possibly fair dos.

But it is our crucial, (must) winnable, home games vs Wolves, Burnley and even Brighton, where Farke's potential line-ups and tactics scare the blooming bejeeeeezus out of one!

13 Apr 2026 17:05:51
If we play these so-called boring tactics and we win 0-1, will anyone be complaining after the match?
Probably.

13 Apr 2026 17:25:21
Nice one, OP. 🤣
I for one will not be complaining about anything this side of the moon if we win tonight.

13 Apr 2026 17:31:56
That ain't gonna happen.

13 Apr 2026 18:04:02
It's a football match for Pete's sake, Man Utd do not have a divine right to win this match.

13 Apr 2026 19:00:37
Okafor, Gudmunsson and Bijol are all back and recovered as expected, and Tanaka is also playing.

13 Apr 2026 19:30:08
It's the Premier League and anyone can beat anyone.

13 Apr 2026 19:34:24
Plenty would've said "that ain't gonna happen" if someone had suggested Bournemouth could win at Arsenal on Saturday, but it happened. I've been watching football for nigh on 70 years, and my motto is "never say never". It's unlikely we could win, but not impossible.

13 Apr 2026 19:38:49
Aus, I have to ask, why "Devon"?

13 Apr 2026 19:48:12
We are in silly season, last 8 or so games of season, some very unusual results always happen. Let's hope tonight is one of them!

13 Apr 2026 21:55:08
Did someone say "that ain't gonna happen"?

13 Apr 2026 22:08:53
Some posts above didn't age very well!

A vibrant (no boring tactics, no boring selections) win.. well deserved.

{Ed025's Note -absolutely Ani..

13 Apr 2026 22:56:04
We have never played boring the whole season. God knows why any Leeds fan would think that.

13 Apr 2026 23:32:05
We have been too negative this season, in most away games, but tonight we pressed them from the front from the first minute.
Very similar to the Newcastle game, but tonight we got the result.

13 Apr 2026 23:54:14
I beg to differ, Cork. For many, it's easy to criticize our tactics when we don't win, but when we do, with pretty much the same style of play, we're suddenly playing more offensive football.

Our problem all season has been that we have created many attacking chances, but not had the quality in making those chances into goals.



It's how I have interpreted our season, but I'm sure many don't see it the same way.

Taxi for Howe soon enough.
Would Leeds fans take him as manager?
Think today will seal his fate.

13 Apr 2026 04:22:19
Good question, Chris. Not sure tbh. He is struggling with a good team, but has done well with limited resources before.

13 Apr 2026 08:01:47
That step up from being a good manager to an elite manager, I believe, is a divide that Howe does not have the knowledge and ability to achieve.
The expectations of Newcastle fans and their love of Eddie Howe will wither eventually, I feel, but would he satisfy the enormous expectations of Leeds fans?
I think Howe would have enough stock already to take on a club that is in a much healthier position than Leeds United.



A decision for a club owner, which is a huge risk in financial terms and an emotional, depressing one for the fans if it goes pear shaped, as we all witness so often today in the manager merry-go-round of Premiership football.

13 Apr 2026 08:25:49
Trouble is, at Newcastle, they have not replaced Isak. Wissa has not got going and Waltermader looks like he needs a year or so to get into English football.
Add in a few injuries, and their season has passed them by.

13 Apr 2026 13:28:43
Hope they keep Howe, as it would be a very tempting prospect for either Glasner or Iraola.

13 Apr 2026 13:45:28
Good point, class.

13 Apr 2026 14:03:22
I've always liked Howe, and would take him like a shot if we were in the market for a new manager, which at the moment we ain't. Both fans and owners at Newcastle had unreasonable expectations of the pace of change resulting from the injection of Saudi billions, which have not yet been realised, and are now getting prematurely impatient.

I think he'll come good if they give him time, but that may not happen. As a team, they never properly replaced Isak, and bought Woltemade on a whim, who is a completely different player, and Wissa, who is OK but not the old fashioned number 9 they want him to be. I always saw Howe as a future England manager, but that seems unlikely, for now at least.

13 Apr 2026 14:13:31
Isak not pulling up trees, is he. Can't blame selling him.

13 Apr 2026 14:29:08
Sorry, Class, but being uber realistic.

Glasner and especially Ireola are never ever coming to Leeds.. they will have far better choices this summer.

13 Apr 2026 16:39:55
What do Spuds say, Baz?

'Dare to dream'.

Never done them any harm. 🤣

And, you never know, both Bournemouth in particular and Palace were not so far ahead of us at the time. The stadium improvements and a concerted amount of wooing from 49ers may just be enough.

That and my nightly prayers.

13 Apr 2026 19:42:38
It's nightmares rather than dreams for Spuds at the moment. 💀

None of our relegation partners, Spurs, West Ham and Forest, have an easy run-in over the next 6/7 games.
We have to play Man U and Bournemouth away, and if we get something from those games it's a bonus. However, we have home games against the two worst teams in the division, plus another against Brighton, which we should be capable of getting something out of.

The other two aways are against Spurs and West Ham. I'd settle for two draws against them.
I think it's basically in our own hands and so long as we get six points against Wolves and Burnley we're in with a fighting chance. Mess that up, then we're struggling.

12 Apr 2026 22:20:46
I was thinking during the week that Spurs away is the game. Proper six pointer.
You'll all probably disagree, but right now I'd take four points from Wolves n Burnley.

12 Apr 2026 22:46:13
We need 6 points from Wolves and Burnley, and draws against Spurs and West Ham. I'd rather not have to visit the Hammers needing a result on the last day, but if we do, then once again it's up to us to get the outcome we need.

13 Apr 2026 11:19:59
I agree we need those 6 points, but am not convinced we will get them.
Daniel Farke's record is not great against Parker.

13 Apr 2026 14:32:35
Corkey, it's about time Farkey put Parker back in his pen case.

We simply must beat Burnley and Wolves.

As I expect Leeds to lose all 4 remaining away matches.
