Sharing the obvious & obscure in Leeds United history. After 12 years on Twitter, 32k posts, 80k images shared - still there but the slow start on Bluesky starts now! Please help me re-build my audience - #lufc #LeedsCityFC #OnThisDay #MemoriesFromTheAttic
This is what the knitting pattern looks like when #lufc go through managers.
Expecting, if not now hoping for, 'greys' soon but let's get it right and avoid the mess we had last time (2022/23)...

Daniel Farke had worse Premier League starts with Norwich City - the first season ending disastrously before bringing them straight back up for another go... but despite finally winning at Brentford he didn't make it to 'Matchday 12' in his second top flight campaign...

Records updated but nobody needs it highlighting what a poor picture they portrait!
5 Leeds defeats in 6 games, including 2 of last 3 at #EllandRoad; 2 home wins in 6 not good.
Aston Villa bossing the head-to-head.
United not too great on recent matchday 12.
Every past promoted #lufc started better!

Shocking conditions - time for this one!
90 games played since Meslier was sent off playing for Leeds.
107 without a red card back to Rodon (the last United outfield player).
58 at #EllandRoad since an #lufc sending off (Firpo).

And to the MATCHDAY spotlights for Daniel Farke & the Leeds squad's experiences facing Aston Villa.
The United boss had mixed results against the Villans while at Norwich City; the players too, with few clocking up goals v #avfc in their careers.
👀 Darlow clean sheets!

MATCHDAY #factfiles for Leeds against old foes Aston Villa at #EllandRoad.
Low scoring draws a feature in our past, but United have edged league stats.
(Noting our only game facing Unai Emery ended in a 1-2 defeat at Villa Park in January 2023.)

A summary of Leeds in past 23rd Novembers!
100% home record with 5 wins at #EllandRoad & not so bad away either!
No United hat-tricks or sending offs but 3 penalties & an own goal recorded in our favour #OnThisDay.
My MATCHDAY fiver going on #lufc 2-1 (5 times in 15 games #OTD!).
November 23, 2025 at 12:02 PM
Drafted the factfiles and matchday gubbins for this weekend and noticed something about '23rd November' in Leeds United history.......... every game played at fortress #EllandRoad on that date has resulted in a home win!
No pressure, then, #lufc 😅
November 22, 2025 at 8:43 AM
Basic records updated - leaving the technical & tactical interrogations to the stats experts. But all reflect a worrying outcome from United's latest defeat.
As last week, my only positive being the fact Leeds have played 90 games since having a player sent off; 107 since an outfield red card.

Here's the final MATCHDAY tit-bit for today, honest!
A third of all league games played between Leeds United and Nottingham Forest (x96) have ended 0-0 (x11) or 1-1 (x21!).
With 36% (x35) ending in draws of all scores (including the few 2-2/3-3 outcomes).

Two other notable MATCHDAY memories for Leeds United facing Nottingham Forest.
Terry Hibbitt's first touch, (substitute) debut goal in 1966.
And the City Ground fire that saw the game abandoned in 1968!
Lots more ahead of #lufc v #nffc shared today 😉
November 9, 2025 at 12:54 PM
More MATCHDAY info ahead of Leeds at Nottingham Forest, this time looking at Sean Dyche's record against United.
The former Watford, Burnley & Everton manager just edging it with 6 wins from 14 games, with his teams keeping 4 clean sheets against #lufc.
Watch out for 0-1! 🫣
November 9, 2025 at 12:04 PM
And yes, from the Gray dynasty, Andy also scored for Leeds against Nottingham Forest!
Jack Milburn did but his two United brothers Jim & George did not; and Rod Wallace did but not sibling Ray!
Did I miss anybody? #lufc #family #mot

MATCHDAY bonus for Leeds v Nottingham Forest.
Jimmy Greenhoff scored for United at the City Ground in 1967; brother Brian hit a goal at #EllandRoad in 1980 (both wins).
Among their goals v #nffc, the Gray siblings scored in all 3 clashes of 1978; Frank in 2 & Eddie 1 of them.

And to the MATCHDAY spotlights for Daniel Farke & his Leeds squad against Nottingham Forest.
The boss lost his first but has been unbeaten since against them with Norwich.
Several United players to face #nffc for the first time. Overall not many goals scored yet by the current #lufc crop.

Heading to Nottingham, with MATCHDAY #factfiles for Leeds v Forest.
Strange times at the City Ground - in Europe after flying high last season, but already on to their third manager of the current campaign - Sean Dyche back in the familiar relegation zone! 😅

MATCHDAY focus on previous 9th Novembers for Leeds. Not such a bad day, just a shame we aren't playing at #EllandRoad, unbeaten in 8 at home #OnThisDay!
Hat-tricks, penalties & own goals scored in United's favour - and no sending offs.
Can #lufc maintain this impressive long run without a red card?

Look at some of these Leeds United away travel prices from 1988/89.
£15.50 to the south coast and on Saturday just gone, Brighton cost us just three times as much on LUSC Griffin!
Others would cost more than a multiple of 3 nowadays - especially Shrewsbury!

Why did John Charles wish to give up the grand life in Italy?

A clue shared in 1961....

Records updated after defeat at the AMEX.
Daniel Farke yet to win against Brighton (in 4), or see one of his teams register a goal against them!
United have had better (& worse) starts in the last 10 seasons!
89 games played since Leeds saw a red card and 106 for an outfield player sent off...

This match is going to be bigger than the FA Cup over here in Japan. Two lads who went to the same local schools in Kawasaki and who were then both picked up at 6 years old by local J-League team, Kawasaki Frontale, going head-to-head for the first time. 🧵 #LUFC #田中碧

Before any of us had heard of PSR or player amortisation here are the Leeds United Director’s Report & Accounts for 1978. Gate receipts break through the £1M mark for the previous season (my season ticket contributing £22 to that number!). #lufc #mot
