If Mjallby, who represent the tiny, tiny village of Hallevik, beat Elfsborg on Saturday (or better Hammarby's result), they will win their first ever Allsvenskan title. To call it a shock would be hugely understating just how tiny this place is. We're talking 1.5k inhabitants, max. #LUFC

Four Thoughts on Sheffield Wednesday (p)1-1 #LUFC
Not much joy to be found. Can't blame Farke entirely, but can't ignore his track record either. The recruitment team best be crossing their fingers, and hopefully our goalkeepers can get theirs in some sort of order.

That being said, having watched a few bits back, I'm struggling to blame Farke much for this.
Yes, 9 changes was always going to affect things, and we should have blown SW away easily, but it's hard to look past the players who simply didn't put the ball in the net. We had more than enough chances.

Four Thoughts on #LUFC 1-0 Everton
Lucas Perri's big kicks, Joel Piroe's mobility, James Tarkowski's arm, and Lukas Nmecha's on-point... well, everything.

Decided to check up on Jesse Marsch after the Gold Cup finished (Canada knocked out by Guatemala in the QFs 🤐).
Any of this sound familiar? #LUFC

It's a lovely place, and the club are getting a nice new stadium soon. A great reason for me to visit again 😁

Aaronson(s) vs Schmidt in Nashville, Tennessee this morning, as the US take on Switzerland.
Friendlies are rarely great indicators of course, but given the strength of the Swiss XI, I'd say Murat Yakin likes the look of Schmidt.
Keep an eye on Ardon Jashari, by the way. Big move coming soon. #LUFC

Port Vale stealing from #LUFC yet again. First they take our place in the football league, then they take our font. Shameless.

There's not a whole lot of media coverage to go off, but it looks like Gostivar's players were ordered off the field by their club's board in a recent game, in protest against the refereeing.
Erwin himself had been sent off shortly after scoring, but the game was eventually abandoned.

It wasn't exactly shocking, then, when he left HJK in Finland & jetted to Gostivar FK in North Macedonia.
What is odd, however, is that Gostivar have just forfeited the rest of their games this season, in addition to a whopping 27 point deduction that has sealed their relegation.

Another random ex #LUFC player thread.
Most of you will know about Lee Erwin's globetrotting adventures since leaving Leeds.
He's played in Iran, Lebanon, Finland... even Oldham.
While he might not have found the net for Leeds, he's scored plenty since leaving & even has a few titles to his name.

... Saido Berahino, former West Brom and Stoke striker, joined Tabor Sezana on a short-term deal in February, having been without a club since leaving Rajasthan Utd in 2024.
It's a far distance from his years in the Premier League, but Berahino has started well - 2 goals in his opening 6 games.

... to Tabor Sezana in the Slovenian 2nd Division.
So far, he's doing pretty well: 2 goals & 2 assists in his time at the club, though promotion isn't possible with just two games left to go.
While this is, generally, interesting to #LUFC fans, others might be intrigued by one of his teammates...

I always try to keep an eye on #LUFC players as they head out into the world.
Keenan Carole (son of Seb) left Leeds in 2024, heading to Servette (Geneva) to join up with their academy sides. After finding it difficult to break through in Switzerland however, Carole has moved on loan... (1/3)
