Everton at #EllandRoad it is then. Back in 18th August 1956, newly promoted Leeds beat the Toffees 5-1 in the season's opener (Brook 3, Overfield & Charles). United haven't won in the last 5 v #efc (2 draws) but edge the clash historically, and have recorded 10 league doubles against their 5. #lufc

Following on from England & Scotland, here's a draft of 'Leeds players representing...' WALES. A more difficult trawl to put this lot together and verify existing lists but worth the time. No order of 'capped' details available but any suggestions for the notes field welcome. #lufc #wales #cymru

We have already seen Lukas Nmecha in his early career in England. Aug 2018: Leeds 0-2 Preston, FLC, sub on; Sept 2018: United 3-0 North End, Lge, sub on; Apr 2019: #pnefc 0-2 #lufc, Lge, subbed off; Feb 2020: M'boro 0-1 Leeds, Lge, sub on.

Sunday quiz, no cheating! 7 former Leeds players have managed Barnsley. 2 former United managers have been in charge at Oakwell. A few more than once! Some played & managed. Can you name all 9? Plus a bonus for also naming a former #blades & #barnsleyfc manager who served as assistant at #lufc...

Managed to produce a Scotland version of the 'Leeds players representing...' exercise (after sharing England's stats earlier in the week). #scotland win more than lose with a United player in the shirt! Missing anything? #tartanarmy #lufc fans are welcome to add suggestions for the notes field 😉

@dragonsoccer.bsky.social Hi folks. Can you point me in the right direction for a list of all time Wales international apps/goals, (but really will just be using the details of Leeds United players that have represented Cymru, up to date). I wish to replicate the below for 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 AMAP. Many thanks 🤞

Imagine the surprise when researching that "#lufc in the Ballon d'Or" feature this week, of seeing a Scunthorpe United player named as a nominee in 1959! Ken Jones received a vote (coming 23rd of Europe's elite!) for his goalkeeping exploits for Wales in the 1958 World Cup. #iron #uti #cymru

Here's a 'Leeds representing England' summary to deflect from tonight's dismal defeat! Collectively #lufc = 346 #Eng caps, 25 goals scored, 3 sending offs, and the #ThreeLions have won half of the games that have had United players involved. Some additional 'notes' on the #factfile for interest...

Here's details of #lufc players in the Ballon d'Or I had never seen shared before! Categorised as 'Current', 'Ex' & 'Future' Leeds picked out from the relevant years' nominations. Some eye-openers & perhaps surprise omissions in some of United's big seasons. Couple of winners also wore our kit! 🧐🤔😉

Clarifying for the below that pointing out Norwich's dire Premier League experience under Daniel Farke was no criticism of the Leeds boss & by adding details of the calibre of recruitment he was allowed, part explains it. Hopefully United are already better set up & plan shrewd investment... #lufc

United Are Back! Etc! So, how have Leeds fared when promoted to the top flight? No immediate relegations, and actually the last five (of 7) have seen top half finishes. The first 4 new season fixture openers for past promoted #lufc teams were at home, the last 3 away. Note 3 season minimum stays...

Enough time passed for a closer look at Daniel Farke in the Premier League, then? His Norwich City season 1 bringing in mostly unknowns on free & loan deals = ⬇️ The return saw a little more money invested but #ncfc still chancing it = sacked ↘️ The #EPL's now even tougher; will he be backed at #lufc?

It's a fond farewell to the old (Championship) & hello again to the 'new' but familiar (Premier League). Burnley +1 joining Leeds (hope it's Bristol City!) and obviously a few old foes passing us on their way back down after their one season flirt with the more established... United Are Back! #lufc

The other place failed me - so does anybody here know how to? Can one of those techie geniuses put John Helm's 1990 Leicester commentary over the footage of the goal yesterday - because I think we have a contender for a better goal that was arguably better timed! 😍🤩💛🤍💙 #lufc #champions #JohnHelm

At last! The final version of the comparison exercise with United's matchday 46 - aside a very last update with the outcome of today's 2024/25 finalé which will follow when I get back from Plymouth... and sober up! Will Daniel Farke beat his Norwich best with Leeds? 💯 #lufc

The end at last - final games - comparing Daniel Farke's past top 3 campaigns & United’s past tier 2 title seasons. Match #46 results: 🟢Norwich 2019 W2-1; 🟢City 2021 D2-2; ⚪Leeds 2024 L1-2 to Soton. 🏆 #lufc: 💛Wilko 1990 W1-0 B’mouth; 💙Bielsa 2020 W4-0 v Charlton. The biggest & best today?

And to the MATCHDAY spotlights for Daniel Farke and his Leeds squad, reflecting the dominance over Plymouth, with all but a few defeats collectively. United want goals & a few have scored already v Argyle but several others will be keen to get this job done & make history - as are we! 💯 #lufc #pafc

The last MATCHDAY #factfiles of this amazing season & the first Leeds v Plymouth slide gave me the confidence I need for the all important win today... Until I remembered Argyle had won a few big games recently too 😅 Either way, UNITED ARE BACK! #believe Form: #lufc WWWWW, #pafc LWLWW

MATCHDAY memories for Leeds on 3rd May. Memorable #EllandRoad win v some reds; the Champions 1992 parade; & the Kop's last stand #OnThisDay. 'Even' outcomes from 12 games (unbeaten in 5) but no away wins #OTD... yet! 2 United penalties scored; no hat-tricks, own goals or sending offs. #lufc

A couple of MATCHDAY extras! - Alan Curtis scored 2 goals on his Leeds debut at Bristol City in 1979. - United's sending off record v the Robins is in the earlier factfiles but we are currently 76 games without a red card & 93 since an outfield #lufc player got an early bath... er, shower! WGUAFC

The comparison exercise is almost complete - demonstrating how well Daniel Farke has done this (and quite frankly, last (controversial!)) season in terms of productivity against his own past best & Leeds' other successful promotion managers. Can his 2024/25 United get to 100 points?! #lufc 💯 🤞🏻🏆⚽💛🤍💙🤩

And to the penultimate MATCHDAY spotlights for Daniel Farke & his Leeds squad against Bristol City. The United boss is unbeaten against the Robins & the players have mostly positive past experiences too, with goals in the locker - a few more & a home clean sheet won't do any harm! #lufc #BristolCity

Here are the positive looking MATCHDAY #factfiles for Leeds v Bristol City. In reality these & the recent form guide means little tonight but this lot helped settle my nerves... until Burnley beat QPR!

MATCHDAY for Leeds on 28th April. Winning the title at Anfield; promoted at Hull; on the #EllandRoad pitch thinking we were up in 1990; & that Fair Play Villa goal #OnThisDay! And relegation fear! A penalty scored, 2 own goals in United's favour, no hat-tricks but a sending off v Bristol City! #lufc

What a day in Leeds United history this was! Among other matches on 26th April... Two leagues won (Second Division 1924 & Div One 1992 - (last true English champions of the Football League)); beat Arsenal to go top in 1971; & oh so close but cruel in 1965! #lufc #OnThisDay Retweeting all today...

Leeds achieved promotion for the third time on a 21st April on Monday. Next up Bristol City on 28th April. Another date with some United history. One where we thought we were up but had to wait until the bank holiday weekend (1990), and another promotion secured (1956)! Cue, John Helm... #lufc

Manor Solomon will be looking to score in 3 consecutive Leeds games today, the first player to do so in the league since Daniel James in Nov-Dec 2023. Patrick Bamford managed it in 3 United league/cup games in January 2024 and Summerville got 4 in 3 combined, February 2024. It's time... #lufc

And to the MATCHDAY spotlights for Daniel Farke and his Leeds squad against Stoke City. A third consecutive clean sheet for United would fit nicely, and there are already some usual suspects with goals against the Potters but 'first timers' more than welcome to secure another green W! #lufc #believe

MATCHDAY EVE #facfiles for Leeds v Stoke. Favouring United historically, especially at fortress #EllandRoad but beware City's recent upturn in results to steer clear of relegation fears.

It's MATCHDAY & the summary for 21st April's in Leeds history. A date that United already secured promotion twice (1924 & 1928) and closed in ('56 & 90). 21 games played, mostly positive, including 8 clean sheets. Penalty scored, 2 own goals in our favour, no hat-tricks, but a couple sent off. #lufc

Regulars will know the score by now (no pun intended!); the slide already updated with Matchday 44 results except for 2024/25 which is obviously one behind & awaiting today's United result. Daniel Farke searching for yet another win to stay ahead of past Norwich & Leeds campaigns... #lufc #believe 🤞🏻
