Pommes Boulangère

Scallops with Chorizo Butter, French Onion Soup, and a glass of Châteauneuf-du-Pape.

Tahini roast chicken, butternut squash hummus, and bulgur salad.

This was tasty. Seared scallops with celeriac, green apple and pear remoulade.

That was poor. Feels like a missed opportunity. #LUFC

Ethan Ampadu won the most duels (14), made the most ball recoveries (7), completed the most passes into the final third (20) and made the joint-most touches (75) of any Leeds or Derby player involved at Pride Park. #LUFC

I didn’t realise just quite how good that goal was at the time… #LUFC

Leeds' longest winning home league streaks: Daniel Farke: 2024 (9) Daniel Farke: 2023/2024 (9) Simon Grayson: 2009 (15) Howard Wilkinson: 1989 (9) Don Revie: 1972 (9) Don Revie: 1968/1969 (13) Don Revie: 1962/1963 (9) Raich Carter: 1955 (9) Raich Carter: 1955 (11) Billy Hampson: 1936/1937 (10)

It's soup season. This was immense.

🏡 Leeds United's last nine results at Elland Road: ✅ 3-0 vs Coventry City ✅ 2-0 vs Sheffield United ✅ 2-1 vs Watford ✅ 3-0 vs Plymouth Argyle ✅ 2-0 vs QPR ✅ 3-0 vs Luton Town ✅ 2-0 vs Derby County ✅ 3-1 vs Middlesbrough ✅ 4-0 vs Oxford United Some way to finish the year. #lufc

💪 DOMINATION!!

FT Leeds United 4-0 Oxford United Merry Christmas.

When Leeds have scored the opening goal in Championship matches under Daniel Farke: Games: 35 Won: 32 Drawn: 3 Lost: 0 Goals: 82 Conceded: 11 Clean Sheets: 26 Points Won: 99/105 #LUFC

Leeds' last NINE Championship matches at Elland Road: WWWWWWWWW Games: 9 Won: 9 Goals: 24 Conceded: 2 Clean Sheets: 7 Games Scored First: 9 Points Won: 27/27 Maximum return. 💯 #LUFC

That was a terrific result today. Deej MotM for me. He was everywhere. Great performances all over.

#24for24: "Neither of us knew much about Leeds United, although I had vaguely heard the name in the past when people talked about soccer in England. But for my son, Leeds quickly became his team, in the video game world and, interestingly, in the real world as well."

Made a Beef Wellington:

🤩 SIMPLY SENSATIONAL!

✅ 100th #LUFC appearance! ✅ Scored to give Leeds the lead! ✅ Got his own chant! 🔥 What a night for Dan James!

Aaronson MotM for me tonight.

Happy birthday to former Leeds midfielders David Batty & Kalvin Phillips. ⚪ Born on December 2nd ⚪ Born in Leeds ⚪ Professional debuts with Leeds ⚪ Won promotion with Leeds ⚪ Won a league title with Leeds ⚪ 230+ apps for Leeds ⚪ Played in the Premier League with Leeds ⚪ Represented England at Leeds

Another match that proves we still need a #10 and probably a #9. I hope the 49ers can reach into their pockets in January. #LUFC

Tricky away match & third game in a week took its toll but we still had enough chances to win it. At least I can comprehensively say that Tanaka wasn’t the MOTM for once but not sure anyone deserved it. Can’t help but think that we missed Byram a bit today. Frustrating day all round. #lufc

Another one of *those* games. #LUFC

Gnonto off? He's the only one doing anything.

Sigh

This. Said we needed a 10 until I was blue in the face. We better get one in January.

That was not good. Poor decisions, poor execution. We are slow in build up and picking the wrong options. I would love to see changes at the half: Ramazani for Aaronson, then move Gnonto centrally and James to the right. Would consider switching Piroe for Joseph too. #LUFC

⏸️ #LUFC lead 2-0 at the break, thanks to goals from Byram and Piroe!

GGGGGOOOOOOOAALLLL PIRRRROOOOOOOEEEEE!!!

Can we please get a creative #10 in January? #LUFC

🤍 13 years ago, a legend passed away. Gone, but never forgotten, Gary Speed and his family are forever in our thoughts. RIP Gary

Got the Christmas tree up this past weekend. Our Bielsa ornament is starting to fade a bit, but there he is.

there was a stat I saw about 25% of leeds' goals this season being scored by subs. I've had a look at which these actually were... 5/7 were extending leads in to-nil wins. 4 for Piroe (Hull, Cardiff, Cov, QPR) 1 for Joseph (Blades)

What a roller coaster that was. And what a lovely piece of Willy magic 🪄 at the end. Deej was amazing today - PotM for me. #LUFC

Need to do better. We controlled parts of that half well, but got caught out at the back. Two poor goals to give away. This game is screaming for Joseph and Gnonto. If we don't equalize quickly, Farke should be making changes by 55 mins - but we all know he probably won't. #LUFC

The best at what they do:

The reality is that this doesn’t even do justice to the amount of time that goes into a lot of these podcasts. Managed to watch every team in the league at least three times now and some many more than that. So we appreciate all the support we get in any way, shape, or form
