Hey folks. I am in Madrid for the weekend. Anybody know a good bar in the city to watch Leeds v Manure on Sunday? Thx.

16 Oct 2026 10:14:42
The 1 that's says Cerveza outside the door
I always enjoy that 1 Matt 🤣

Glad I could help pal.

16 Oct 2026 14:35:45
Seemingly there's a Madrid Whites 😱

We really are her,there, everywhere

The Triskel Tavern is location

Google Maps and your there pal.

17 Oct 2026 09:18:26
Thanks Chris. Was aiming for the Triskel Tavern through googling although seemed like it was a Liverpool pub so I thought they would at least hate Manu. If it is also home to the Madrid Whites even better! I will report back on Sunday evening before heading to the Bernabeu for Madrid v Sevilla.

17 Oct 2026 13:45:42
Nice 1 Matt, enjoy pal.

19 Oct 2026 08:13:11
Triskel Tavern was closed. Went to Collins Irish bar. Decent beer not a great atmosphere though, perhaps befitting a slightly lacklustre performance. Still a point is a point. Mbappe and Bellingham world class but it generally they all fell over a lot at Madrid v Sevilla. Like 22 Fernandes on the pitch - I'll take the Prem any day.

15 Oct 2026 14:36:10
Ha ha. Let's pop it out there. 3-0 for me. Gotta be.

15 Oct 2026 15:43:12
Three goals would be super fab Aus

I am hoping for a much needed clean sheet.1 nil win Leeds more likely than 3 nil

But have a strong feeling it will be a deja vu of last seez result

Leeds 1 vs Man U 1 ( but with Man U again sacking their manager after this Leeds game.Amorim last seez and Carrick this)

15 Oct 2026 16:23:44
I am hope we can join the 6 club that going around at the moment 🤭.

15 Oct 2026 19:01:36
I must lead a very sheltered existence since I've no idea what 6 club you could be referring to.

16 Oct 2026 00:00:14
I'm going 4-0 Leeds.

Almost 30 years on since they did us 4-0 at Elland Rd and bought about the end of Sir Howard - how nice would it be to get some belated payback.

4-0 would probably seal Carrick's fate!

16 Oct 2026 08:16:55
3 /1'to us & said to a m8 yesterday that Carrick will be gone WHEN we beat them!
Sutton as us winning 5/0 on his page on the bbc.

16 Oct 2026 10:04:55
I think it will be much more tricky than people (including pundits) are expecting / anticipating. If there's ever a game for them to step it up after a rough run, and a load of BS around that club (which I love!) , its against us! I'd love us to batter them physically and in terms of scoreline, but can't see it being that simple tbh.


Still hoping for a 2-0 win, tho it will be edgy in large parts I think.

16 Oct 2026 13:13:00
Totally agree Bright, not happy that pundits an' all are making us clear favorites and not just to win but absolutely batter Man U.
As much as i would love to see such an annihilation of our old enemy, I'm not sure it's going to be so easy as some make out.
At some point they will try to dig
themselves out of this mess they are in, just hope it's not just yet.

Since we have been made favorites for this match, a one nil lucky goal to us i'd be more than happy with.

16 Oct 2026 13:42:33
JR 16 look at other recent scores mate that's what I was referring to.🤣.

16 Oct 2026 14:23:17
Agree opti. It won't be easy. But they play for money not pride. So at elland. One up. They will fold.

16 Oct 2026 19:24:46
I just wish it was an evening game.
2-2.

16 Oct 2026 19:54:17
Yess Corkey, if it was an evening game, Leeds far more likely to win

As it is, it's Sunday afternoon less raucous, less atmospheric fare where Leeds recently sometimes/ often underwhelm.

A clean sheet would help a lot please Jimmy Trafford.

16 Oct 2026 23:20:16
A win of any description please!

17 Oct 2026 08:23:31
Agree Feath. I'd like a performance but tomorrow is all about the result. We need to start putting some wins together rather than well earned draws.

18 Oct 2026 01:03:04
Whilst, like everybody, I'm hoping for a win of any description, I can't help having a bad feeling about this game, hope I'm wrong.

I wonder if contract renewal length is an issue in any contract renewal discussions between DF and SF49ers

I have a feeling 49ers understandably might not want to commit to a long contract extension of say even 3 years and defo not 4 years

My guess is they might want to agree to just a 2 year extension.

13 Oct 2026 20:57:26
I was thinking similar Baz. I reckon he's been offered a two year deal.

13 Oct 2026 22:04:35
Yes Corkey, it will be interesting to see how this pans out.

Imo its not a given, say around 75/25 chance that Farke is still Leeds manager at start of next seez.

13 Oct 2026 22:08:01
It might be, but it also might be about money?

13 Oct 2026 22:35:28
Or it might be both OP!

Contract length AND salary

In which case, Farke better start winning some matches then; so far just 2 EPL wins in 6 ; arguably a must win vs out of form Man U who are there for the taking!

14 Oct 2026 13:00:47
Agree Baz. Arguably min 2-4 point below where we should be. Let's hope he can nick a few unexpected ones.

14 Oct 2026 14:00:23
Indeed Aus, could be better

Wheras Leeds showed up at home vs Newcastle, they had very underpar matches at home particularly vs Palace and also vs an albeit very good Brentford side.

We simply must do much better this Sunday at home to Man U.

14 Oct 2026 17:32:18
Only one good home performance this season so another one is a must on Sunday, especially with two tricky away games coming up.

14 Oct 2026 19:58:45
Baz I believe that's a great deal two years not sure on the money it he has received more, The large millions pay off as seen in many club over recent times is mind blowing we can't afford to waste money that could be spent on players. So I would say it's about his wages not sitting well with him.

14 Oct 2026 20:29:18
Indeed 2 hard away games coming up Feath.

Leeds United have won I believe just a paltry 3 EPL away games in 22 under Farke which really needs to improve asap!

It was our home form which kept us up last seez.let's beat Man U. best time to play em right now!

14 Oct 2026 20:32:39
One would expect he gets offered a pay increase Whitey.

Just have a feeling it will be only a 2 year offer.

Big month or so ahead to see what transpires.

15 Oct 2026 10:53:38
OK Baz, only 2 wins in 6, but then only 5 teams have won more. Only 1 loss in 6, but only 3 are undefeated, and 4 others have only lost 1. Goals against 5, joint lowest in PL with 4 other teams. Looked at in the round our record ain't too bad at all.

My uneducated guess at DFs new contract is an extra 3 years taking it from 2027 to 2030, plus a modest pay rise along with possible bonuses for targeted league position, or Euro qualification.

15 Oct 2026 12:39:24
Correct stats JR ; it's a decent to good start but as Feath noted we have 2 tough back to back away games coming up and our EPL away win record is bad under Farke ( 3 in 22) .

15 Oct 2026 13:59:30
Isn't it funny that we're 7th, but we think of Sunderland (17th) and Bournemouth (18th) as tough away fixtures. All fixtures are tough, but I'd hope to get something out of those two, hopefully at least 2 points.

16 Oct 2026 00:50:49
But only 1 PL loss away from home this season at arsenal.

13 Oct 2026 02:33:34
Love MOTD and watch every week as gives me that slice of home that I miss with living in Australia
But was disappointed with post match punditry, thought we were fantastic and had better of game till 62 mins, then they were very good.
All that was said was from Shearer was that Leeds were great but then all about how good gunners were, didn't show our numerous first half chances and then our goal not shown either.


They then started talking about city, not great imo, especially from Gabby who is a Leeds lass.
Did like watching weakness of Man U, think we have a great chance to win this game, they not great in their MF and think we can overrun them, id possibly like to drop a MF, maybe Tank and play Wilson floating in between their defence and MF
MOT.

13 Oct 2026 14:59:10
Melbourne I am fed up with it, can't wait to it's all done and dusted but I suppose it will be going on for years 🥱.

14 Oct 2026 08:15:08
They love the big 6 (and Spurs) .

The others, ourselves included, are there simply to make up the numbers!

14 Oct 2026 11:25:47
It's not just on TV that we're short changed by the BBC. Most evenings I switch in the West Yorkshire Sport programme at 6 pm on BBC Radio Leeds, and more often than not much more airtime is devoted to reporting on the Huddersfield Town and Bradford City games than for Leeds United.

15 Oct 2026 05:42:34
The media love to report about bad news only and rarely about successes, thats why the two Manchester clubs are grabbing the large majority of the headlines with the negative impact that is hitting these two clubs in particular and of course the non top six club Spurs.

Im personally glad that we are not perceived as a worthy club to report about as it keeps us under the radar.
Remember the days os Pistol packin' Pete and the Boyer and Woodgate saga, we were every journo and tv pundits favorite, really awful times in my opinion.

15 Oct 2026 08:52:40
Bbc radio Leeds is always promoting Leeds with the Don't go to bed pod cast!
Agree with the main Bbc with the match summary!

15 Oct 2026 11:06:33
Actually Cleggy, the so called "Big Six" did include Spuds, so without them it's now actually only 5. In fact pre 2008 Man City were only a mid table team, so then it was only 5 even if Spuds were included.

12 Oct 2026 21:22:29
Kinda interesting that just before the international break a few on here were taking the Michael out of Lampard and them having zero points and rock bottom of the table. An hour into tonight's game and they are winning 2-0 and at this moment are only 3 points behind Leeds!
Funny how things can change so quick.

12 Oct 2026 22:06:07
Think they have spuds next as well!

12 Oct 2026 22:20:01
Indeed they were Corkey re Lamps

Credit to all three promoted teams ; especially Hull and Ipswich on 9 points from 6 games ; all three might stay up

Feels like a very hard task now to correctly predict the bottom 3 come end of May.

12 Oct 2026 22:21:18
The Leeds 4 vs Newcastle 1 scoreline looks less impressive now with Coventry producing the same scoreline.

13 Oct 2026 00:29:10
On the other hand Brighton 1, Leeds 1 versus Coventry 0, Brighton 5 yields a less favourable comparison.

13 Oct 2026 01:22:18
True enough JR.although Coventry went down to 10 men at 1 nil vs Brighton

And 2 back to back wins now for Coventry have some decent players in forward areas at this level imo so have a chance

It looks wide open for teams to potentially be in a R scrap.

13 Oct 2026 02:16:21
This could be a season where all 3 relegated teams are established PL outfits. Fulham, Bournemouth and Villa look vulnerable at present, and of course we could lose Man Cheaty.

13 Oct 2026 07:21:38
Still way too early to make assumptions as to how newly promoted teams will fair this season, that also goes for teams that were promoted last season as well !
Sunderland possibly having that second season syndrome after over achieving last season.

13 Oct 2026 07:35:20
Is that a Sunderland assumption opti 🤔.

13 Oct 2026 11:18:03
It's a reasonable assumption to have on Sunderland.

13 Oct 2026 11:46:27
Newcastle don't look particularly safe at the moment either.

13 Oct 2026 13:03:45
At the moment nobody but nobody is safe. The minute anyone starts thinking things are going well, is likely to be the time it all goes tits up.

13 Oct 2026 13:38:41
I'd say gunners Brighton Brentford Chelsea are safe. The rest is a lottery. Gonna be an up and downer.

13 Oct 2026 15:01:43
I don't mind Coventry can't stand there manager. Hope we drill them I've started reading things.

13 Oct 2026 17:01:54
We all think we had a bad time being relegated in 2004, going down to League 1 and taking 16 years to get back to the PL in 2020. Coventry were relegated in 2001, went down as far as League 2, had a fallout with their stadium owners and had to play their home games 35 miles away in Northampton, and only got back this year after an absence of 25 years.

I can't stand fat Frank either, especially after the pack of lies he came up with after the Bielsa spying affair, but if any fans have had a hard time it's those of Coventry.
