were relegated from the Premier League.
The three sides that finished above them were: Nottingham Forest, Everton & Leicester.
Forest & Everton have been charged with breaches of Financial Fair Play. Leicester are expected to be.

, 100 years ago the EFL shut down a club called Leeds City. Out of this debacle another club, Leeds United, was formed. We've gone on to be champions of England 3 times& seen 5 European finals. Sometimes the end just means a new beginning. Come back soon & good luck.
Ampadu > Adams/McKennie/Roca
Gray > Aaronson
#LUFC
midfield has lost £70m worth of players, but having spent £7m and promoting an academy player, have significantly improved there.
It's gobsmacking how much better Ampadu/Gray are compared to previous players.
Project Big Picture: Big 6 are the most entertaining teams, we should form a breakaway league.
Also the Big 6:
Man City 1 Arsenal 0
Man Utd 0 Arsenal 1
Man City 1 Liverpool 1
Man Utd 0 Chelsea 0
Chelsea 0 Spurs 0
Man Utd 0 Man City 0
Liverpool 0 Man Utd 0

The disrespect Ayling gets in replies every time
#LUFC
post a lineup is crazy. Yes he's slowing down a bit down, but he's never forgotten the honour it is to wear that badge on his chest and he gives everything he has every game. Some "fans" have a strange idea of support.
This man. Rightly or wrongly he endured jeers during poor form. He’s bulked up, his work rate is through the roof. He bullies defenders and comes up with some vital goals. He shit houses and frustrates the opposition. What a transformation. Bam Bam Bamford 💥
#lufc
This is what
#LUFC
were robbed of when there was no money to back Bielsa. He should have been given everything he asked for. He should have had a lifetime contract. Look at it. We used to watch that every week.
In Dec 2018 Junior Firpo was a rumoured target of Man City and Real Madrid, with Real Betis reportedly wanting 40 million to sell in January. We're starting to see why. Has there ever been a bigger turnaround of form in a player? Magnificent.

Just a friendly reminder that Struijk is Ben Whites current backup. You remember him, the guy who tackles like a beast and pings balls the diagonal length of the field that land on a sixpence
#lufc
Amazing..
So derby sold their ground to themselves, did a shit in the dressing room, lied about bolt cutters and beat the spygate drum, signed Rooney by advertising more gambling &now their club captain and two of their players drink drive and crash. Where the fuck is their fine?

Brentford top of the form table, Leeds 22nd. Haven’t won in London under Bielsa, haven’t won at Griffin Park since 1950. It would be ultimate Leeds if we won tomorrow wouldn’t it?

@BBCSport
So since crying about Bielsa spying: Derby have taken a shit in the Elland Rd changing room, crashed a car drink driving, sold stadium to themselves for inflated price, got their sponsor to pay for Rooney and now secure a loan against the ground they sold to themselves.. 🙄

Good morning. I don't know who needs to hear this, but I love Marcelo Bielsa and trust him and this
#lufc
squad. From Dallas, to Phillips, to Klich and all the rest, absolute heroes in my eyes and am sure they can keep us in the premier league.
#LUFC
Positives:
✔️ Singing "Marcelo Bielsa" all game v Spurs
✔️ No more Radrizzani
✔️ No more Orta
✔️ Huge squad clean out
✔️ Bring back youth players like Cresswell and Gelhardt
✔️ New manager playing possession based attacking football
✔️Going up as champions
Remember when our squad picked up rubbish? And during the pandemic, deferred part of their wages so that non-playing staff could get paid? They played through pain and injury. They knew they weren't all Messi, but they always turned up, for each other and for

Dear EFL in regards to Norwich: we want to know: the exact shade of pink, how many painters were involved and how much were they paid, the exact dates and times of the painting, how much the paint lowers testosterone by and the exact effect that has on points.....
6th April. That's when Jack Harrison signed his contract. The contract with a relegation loan clause in it. He didn't sign last summer or years ago when "relegation was impossible". He signed in April when relegation was very probable. Who wrote these contracts?
#LUFC
Jaidon Anthony:
✅ Pace
✅ Energy
✅ Still improving
✅ Not injury prone
✅ Probably not going to sue
#LUFC
His lower skill/experience is weighed against a better attitude, team work, work rate, potential and injury record, overall I think it will end up being an upgrade.
I'm not bothered about who we get in the transfer window because I'm pretty sure we could buy Steve from down the pub and Bielsa would turn him into prime Messi.
#lufc
Can't wait for us to have Rodrigo and James, our two record signings, on the bench, 1-0 down to Liverpool with 30 minutes to go, and we bring on Costa and Roberts 😍

He made me love football again. Maybe like I'd never loved it. If this is it then it's hugely sad. He should've left on his own terms, at some joyous peak, surrounded by the players whose careers he built &the fans who have worshipped him. Man is a legend

at this difficult time. Anyone who's lost a loved one knows it's the worst feeling in life. Top man Vinnie, if you ever need a friend there's a whole city of us.
Anyone who says “it was only 1-0” don’t get it. Dominated THE in form team, broke the bad run&the performance was exceptional. Harrison: unplayable, Ayling brilliant, KP, Pablo,Bamford Great. A massively important win! Bench strong now, fixtures good&momentum change. FT 1-0

Heartbroken. But I saw the best of

tonight. Amazing support. All over London in different pubs, on random streets & underground tunnels. Flags, smiles, songs, chest bumps, handshakes & hugs. Ups & downs can't shake them. Players & owners come & go. Fans are forever.
3 strikers injured before the first game. 3 wingers unavailable for the 2nd. 10 left in the summer. 5 others injured. Even for

this is quite staggering. Not sure what Daniel Farke can do here. 49ers need to get their cash out quick because that team won't be competing.

let go by a manager out of his depth, let down by upper management. A player who gave his all for Leeds every second of every game. To replace him we brought in Weston McKennie, & then got relegated.

#LUFC
players just look extremely comfortable playing in this system. Controlling the game, rarely under threat, creating chances. There could not be more of a gap between what they're being asked to do now and what they were asked to do under Jesse Marsch.
1. Leeds fans are sick to death of pundits rolling out the tired old trope of "Bielsa burnout". It's factually incorrect, our physical stats were higher at the end of previous seasons. It's especially annoying from people being paid huge £££, who do zero research.
Chris Wilder, Frank Lampard and Dean Smith all did better jobs than Bielsa last season. But they are English so they are not allowed to be nominated or recognised.
#LUFC
defensive stats this season are incredible. People talk about the difference on divisions - you still have to perform after 2 confidence shaking record breaking disastrous defensive seasons conceding 150+ goals.

How Farke has got that performance out of this squad, after the week they've had, is testament to him. Diabolical from the ref, Molumby should have been sent off, his shot then comes of Asantes hand, then misses a penalty.
Just buy Farke some players please.

The Guardian saying the contingency plan is that Leeds and West Brom get promoted. Forest, Brentford, Preston and Fulham to play play-offs. Thoughts?
