#LUFC the big positive to come out of the chastening defeats to Arsenal and Wednesday is it should focus efforts on further recruitment b4 the window closes. No room for complacency now.

#LUFC Here we go. Let’s be hard to beat but play football when we can. Come on. Big test to see where Leeds are against a very strong Arsenal.

Great to get a win over two of my most disliked premier league players Tarkowski and Pickford. Richarlison and Fernandes the only others that immediately spring to mind. Who am I missing? #LUFC

Great view for the #LUFC game away at 💪#oufc on Friday night, right behind the Leeds bench. I was told Oxford always win when my seat is empty so I am claiming a Leeds assist for being there. I hope both clubs win tomorrow and secure promotion/safety.

Sunderland have some good players who break well but when Leeds are on they can overwhelm teams. Should be a cracker - come on #LUFC. Do not see a 0-0
scoreline.

Another fluid attacking performance and good win away at Coventry. Bit more composure tonight and we score seven again. If #LUFC can stay clear at the top during Feb I can’t see us being caught.
