Neste runde blir usedvanlig spennende. Vi møter et Hull i form, Norwich møter Derby, mens WBA møter et Wednesday som har vært bra i det siste. En Leeds-seier der kan fort gi en skikkelig luke i toppen.

Ser på de tallene som er lengre oppe at høyeste tredje plass har fått 89, noe som betyr at vi trenger 39poeng for å komme høyere. Mens WBA trenger 45 for å være høyere. Nå kan det fort bli tre lag eller flere som lukter på 90grensen da.

Det betyr altså at vi med 1.8poeng i snitt klarer 90, WBA trenger over 2 for å klare det samme, men Villa trenger nesten 2.5poeng per kamp. Dette er for å "sikre" andre plassen.
Spennende blir det sikkert uansett!

Tony Ward: 'Marching on together as super Leeds dare to dream of new dawn'

Super Leeds: Kemar Roofe heads home a dramatic injury-time winner for Leeds against Blackburn Rovers. Photo: George Wood/Getty Images
It's been a 60-year love affair and on St Stephen's Day this complex relationship got my pulse racing like never before. After witnessing the greatest sporting finale of my life to date, I was never more grateful to be a fan of Leeds United.

The atmosphere at a sold-out Elland Road turned on a knife-edge and back again, as first visitors Blackburn hit the front on 90 minutes, the 2-1 scoreline silencing the home faithful who have been nervously dreaming of a return to England's top flight.

But Leeds front-man Kemar Roofe then struck twice in stoppage time to steal an unlikely victory, opening a three-point gap at the top of the table and making it a St Stephen's night to remember for yours truly and 35,000 others at the ground.

It's hard to believe but it is now the best part of six decades since I began my love affair with everything Leeds United.

Just to enlighten a little, I was born in Dublin - in Terenure - but we lived the first five years of my life in Royal Park Terrace in Leeds.

On St Patrick's Day in 1960, my dad had a massive coronary and passed away at the age of 51.

Tony Ward at Elland Road
In the aftermath of Danny Ward being laid to rest in Killingbeck Cemetery on York Road, we - June and five-year-old son - returned to her family home in Priory Road, Harold's Cross where I enjoyed the most wonderful upbringing in what was a typical working-class area of that time.

I recently read Damian Lawlor's absorbing biography on Jason Sherlock and suffice to say the parallels were uncanny. But I was ahead of that again as a child of the sixties.

It was the era of flower power, of Woodstock, of unprecedented musical talent: the Beatles, the Stones, Bee Gees, Moody Blues, Neil Young, Cat Stevens, James Taylor - I loved them all but had a particular penchant for Steve Ellis and Love Affair.

'Rainbow Valley' and 'Everlasting Love' were their biggest hits of many but for me my 'Everlasting Love' was well under way.

It was the era of 'Match of the Day' and of Jimmy Hill, David Coleman et al bringing the beautiful game into our sitting-rooms - albeit very fuzzily on Saturday nights.

There was Kenneth Wolstenholme's amazing voice on commentary and of course England winning the World Cup in '66. But above all that there was Leeds United and the Theatre of Dreams that was Elland Road.

I was nine when I caught the bug. It was 1963/64 and after securing promotion the team representing my home away from home were back among the elite.

The Revie Years were exceptional. The following season we finished (apologies to no one for using the personal pronoun) runners-up to Man United in the league and to Liverpool in the FA Cup (by way of an Ian St John winner in extra-time). I was devastated but oh so proud.

I can recall in a blink the feel-good factor to life as a kid in a much less-privileged Dublin to what it is for so many growing up today.

My three favourite team sports have always been association football, rugby and Gaelic football, and probably in that order.

As one who spent his youth between Croke Park, Lansdowne Road, Dalymount and Milltown, I bow to no self-appointed fíor gael or so-called League of Ireland patriot who dares condemn those Irish fans from the four corners of this island who make the trek to follow the English or Scottish team they support.

Yes, Celtic are at the top of my list too - who dares not speak of '67.

With respect to Paul Madeley, Terry Yorath and others, the regulars tripped off the tongue at Leeds - Sprake; Reaney, Cooper; Bremner, Charlton, Hunter; Lorimer, Clarke, Jones, Giles and Gray.

So too at Glenmalure where the fortnightly trip to see the Hoops - weekly if they were at Pat's, Bohs, Shels or Drums in between. Even Lourdes Stadium and Oriel got the odd visit.

Smith; Keogh, Courtney; Mulligan, Nolan, Fulham; O'Neill (what a player), Leech, Gilbert, Lawlor, O'Connell pretty close to the line-up called out by Sean Carroll most weeks at Milltown.

Point being, we didn't ignore our own top flight or the big GAA games in Croker.

In October of next year, LUFC will celebrate its 100th birthday. How magical if the centenary celebration coincides with that long overdue return to the Premier League.

I love Leeds United and everything this great club and city stands for. We're not perfect, but it is the pride of Yorkshire, a one-club city representative of Yorkshire folk, the salt of the earth.

There is a very real affinity with Ireland and with everything Irish. We're not Man United, we're not Liverpool, we're not Glasgow Celtic; we're Leeds and we're special.

Whether Marcelo Bielsa will take us back to where we belong I'm not too sure, but it is proving some ride since he took control during the summer.

The January window will be crucial, particularly in terms of strike-power, but the football currently being played is a joy to behold, particularly at LS11 OES or Elland Road to you and me.

We have been down to Division One, now known as the Championship, and back yet the support of the Irish faithful has never waned.

To follow a football club with passion is a treasured experience for life. They may not admit it readily but I doubt there are too many GAA diehards who haven't enjoyed that pleasure as a child.

I feel at ease in the company of Leeds fans on that pilgrimage from Dublin Airport to Leeds Bradford. I guess it is significant that so many are of a similar vintage.

We all have our ups and downs in life and mine is no different, but one of the few constants and pillars of strength through difficult times on that journey is the love of that football club of choice.

It wasn't the case for me but often there is an element of indoctrination from dad to son or daughter. No harm there either.

And whereas rugby and Gaelic games have always had their heroes who could be touched, soccer, because of the system, has always lacked that vital home element for young sportspeople smitten by role models.

'Match of the Day' and the 'Big Match' made for our lifeline. Then there was the Shelbourne game. Leeds had that August fixture with Shels in Tolka that became an annual event.

There they were in the flesh. Our heroes, living and breathing like the rest of us, or as Shay Deering once said to me when sharing a flight with the New York Cosmos, including the greatest footballer of all time, on a rugby trip to Trinidad in the early seventies, "Jaysus, Pele goes to the jacks". Mind you, a certain Lionel Messi challenges for that greatest of the great mantle now.

As a kid, I was a half-decent footballer playing for Dublin Schoolboys and Ireland, or Éire as we were listed back then at U-15. Liam Brady was a contemporary - he wearing 10 and me 11.

Liam played for St Kevin's and, along with Ringsend lads Frank Stapleton (Bolton) and Dave O'Leary (Reds United), all three signed for Arsenal.

I was one of a number on the trial radar at that time but my mum determined otherwise.

Bill Darby and Billy Behan, as Dublin-based scouts to the Gunners and Man United respectively at that time, were regular callers to the house in Priory but alas to no avail.

The Inter Cert was coming up and for my mother that was the only game in town.

I was devastated but accepted it for what it was. However, I often wonder 'what if?' What if it had been a Leeds talent scout trawling the DDSL fields of the metropolis at that time.

World War III would definitely have broken out in Dublin 6 and I'm not sure the trial decision - to go or not to go - would have been quite the same as it was. I jest but you get the point. My passion for Leeds held no bounds.

A lot of water has passed under the bridge since and, while I have been fortunate to visit and play in many of the top stadia around the world, no sporting venue gives me the same goosebumps as when making the approach to Elland Road, which I did once again on St Stephen's Day.

And amazing as Ireland's victory over the All Blacks was in November, Leeds' dramatic victory over Blackburn Rovers left it in the half-penny place for me.

I could relate so many stories over so many years but can you imagine what it meant to this wannabe in his first year out of school signing for Rovers, breaking into the first team and then lining out alongside Bobby Collins.

There was a mere 24 years between us at the time Mick Meagan as player-manager made him a Hoop but playing with wee Bobby was in my mind akin to playing alongside Pele.

The year just ending has provided us with the most amazing memories across a vast array of sports.

To top that in 2019 for me? What about World Cup success in Japan and the Peacocks finding their way back into the Premier League.

Such is the beauty of sport, we dare to dream. Mine began back in '63 and continues with the same enthusiasm to this day. It ticks now to the Bielsa beat.

And if you want a stat. Only 1 team with 51+ points after 25 games in the last 18 seasons has failed to go up automatically. They did however go up via the play offs. Bolton in 2000/01.

Sporting bygones: Leeds United aim to turn back the clock to title win under Howard Wilkinson

Lee Sobot
Published: 05:59 Monday 31 December 2018



On parade: Leeds United players on their tour of the city after winning the Division Two Championship in 1990.

LEEDS UNITED looked likely to be facing the prospect of making history this New Year’s Day.


Marcelo Bielsa’s Whites approached Saturday’s Championship hosting of Hull City following seven straight league wins.

The club record stands at nine, achieved under Dick Ray in the 1931-32 season.

Alas for Leeds, Saturday’s 2-0 defeat to Hull means there will be no equalling of the record come tomorrow’s game at the City Ground against Nottingham Forest.

Yet Bielsa’s team remain firmly on course to repeat more recent history of winning English football’s second division, a feat achieved by Howard Wilkinson’s Whites in 1989-90 – two seasons before United were crowned champions of England.

Bielsa’s men are already ahead of schedule compared to the team of 1989-90 with the 2018-19 Whites having clocked up three more points than Wilkinson’s men had at the turn of the year and having played one game fewer.

All eyes will be on how Bielsa’s men respond to their weekend loss to Hull and back in 1989-90 defeat at Barnsley was followed only by a 1-1 draw at home to Oldham Athletic.

Wining ways were resumed with a 2-1 triumph at Blackburn Rovers on January 13 – the first of 10 more victories and six draws from the club’s remaining 21 games.

Ten more wins and six draws for Bielsa’s men would leave them on 87 points – just short of what is normally required – but Wilkinson’s side won the division with just 85 points in 1990.

The number of points required by Leeds either to win the Championship or achieve automatic promotion will clearly depend on how their rivals fare with Norwich City and West Bromwich looking the chief threats.

Back in 1989-90 Leeds edged out Sheffield United, under Dave Bassett, for the Second Division title on goal difference.

What mattered most was the five-point cushion back to their opening-day conquerors Newcastle, who finished third with 80 points, six clear of fourth-placed Swindon.

But at the end of 1989 it was Sunderland who sat third on 42 points - six behind Leeds - only to fall away.

At the turn of December, 1989, the Blades were sat on 47 points and one point behind Leeds after 13 wins and eight draws.

The Magpies were way off the pace with just 10 wins and seven draws at this stage of the season – on 37 points and 11 behind Leeds.

Six wins in succession in March and April helped close the gap, but not sufficiently.

Indeed, at the turn of 1989, Sunderland sat third and six points behind Leeds before falling away.

The division’s top two then, Leeds and Sheffield United, had a post-Christmas cushion over the side that would end up as their closest pursuers and main dangers for automatic promotion.

Today Leeds and Norwich have cushions over the third-placed Baggies; five points in Leeds’s case and just two for the Canaries.

Bar a second half of the season slip-up Leeds are on course to repeat the heroics of 1990.

I'm a Leeds fan so I have to find a way of being negative about STILL being top of the league...however had we won our last two very winnable games, we'd currently be 8 points clear of 2nd, 10 points clear of 3rd.

I hate this league. #lufc

Etter 21 ligakamper hadde vi følgende statistikk i 89/90-sesongen:
13-5-3  44 poeng.

I årets sesong har vi:
12-6-3 42 poeng.

I 89/90 røk vi ut av Liga-cupen etter to kamper (mot Oldham).
Det samme gjorde vi år (Bolton og Preston).

I 89/90 røk vi ut av Fa-cupen på første forsøk (mot Ipswich).
Det samme gjør vi forhåpentligvis også denne sesongen (mot QPR).

Ved sesongslutt i 1990 rykket vi opp som Champions (bedre målforskjell enn Sheffield U).
Og jeg har stor tro på vi skal klare å være blant de to som rykker direkte opp ved sesongslutt 2019!

Vi fortsetter sammenligningen med opprykksesongen 89/90.

Kamp nr 23 ble den gang spilt 26/12 på Bramall Lane, borte mot Sheffield U, som jo også rykket opp den sesongen.
Oppgjøret endte 2-2, og er vel best husket for et fantastisk frispark-mål av Mel Sterland, der han dundret ballen i vinkelen fra nærmere førti meters hold!

Etter halvspilt serie i stod vi med følgende statistikk i 89/90:
23 14-6-3.
Denne sesong står vi ved halvspilt serie med denne statistikken:
23 14-6-3.

Og alle skjønner sikkert nå hvordan dette skal ende...  ;)

Selv etter to strake tap henger vi godt med i sammenligning med opprykksesongen 1989/90.
Etter 26 kamper i 89/90 hadde vi 52 poeng. Nå har vi altså 51 poeng.

Et annet interessant moment med denne sammenligningen er Sheffield United.
Blades var ikke blant forhåndsfavorittene før sesongen, men Dave Bassett's nyopprykkede lag (med Brian Deane og Tony Agana på topp) tok divisjonen med storm - og tilslutt rykket de direkte opp sammen med oss. Faktisk var det bare målforskjellen skilte lagene etter siste kamp.

Så hvordan lå så Sheffield U an etter 26 kamper i 89/90? Jo, de hadde 48 poeng - ett mer enn de har nå.
Avstanden mellom Leeds og Sheffield U var altså akkurat den samme etter 26 kamper i 89/90 som den er etter samme antall kamper denne sesong.

Neste kamp er Fa-cup mot QPR.
I 89/90 røk vi i tredje runde mot Ipswich. Personlig tror at det faktum at vi røk ut av fa-cup på tidligst mulig stadium, kan ha vært helt avgjørende for at vi tilslutt klarte direkte opprykk. Opprykket ble jo som kjent ikke klart før etter siste serierunde, borte mot Bournemouth.

Det kommer til å bli jevnt i toppen på tampen av denne sesongen også, så nå regner jeg med at alle oppgående Leeds-supportere (som har lært seg at det kan være smart å prioritere) håper på tap mot QPR. Eller..?  ;)

Kan tilslutt nevne at Wilkinson hentet inn tre nye spillere vinteren 1990: Midtbanekrigeren Chris Kamara, angriperen Imre Varadi og målgarantisten Lee Chapman.

Så da satser vi på at også tre mann blir hentet i dette vinduet.

Leeds United madx

REMAINING FIXTURES; #LUFC

HOME GAMES; Hull City, Derby, Norwich, Swansea, Bolton, West Brom, Sheffield Utd. Millwall, Sheffield Wed, Wigan, Aston Villa (11)

AWAY GAMES; Forest, Stoke, Rotherham, Middlesbrough, QPR, Bristol City, Reading, Birmingham City, Preston, Brentford, Ipswich. (11)


Får vi 13 seire til vinner vi divisjonen! Kan holde med 11 seire til 2.plass! I tillegg vil uavgjorte kamper i tillegg styrke posisjonen vår!

13-6-3 gir 96 poeng!  :)
Møter flere av de verste konkurrentene hjemme. Her har man muligheter til både å ta 3 poeng, og ødelegge for konkurrentene. Kampene mot Derby og Norwich kan gi oss en pekepinn på hvordan dette kan ende.

Før dagens match med 21 kamper igjen skrev jeg for noen dager siden at vi må belage oss på rundt 30 poeng fordelt på 8 - 6 - 7.
Nå har vi startet med 0- 0- 1, noe som betyr at det kanskje går enda verre.
81 poeng totalt er selvsagt skuffende etter den lovende høsten, men dessverre tror ikke at vi er kapable til mer.
Uansett bør det gi oss den beste plasseringen i Championship siden 2006. Men så var det play offs da! Dessverre er Leeds og play offs en sammenhengende katastrofe. Og som cup lag er vi blant balløyas dårligste de siste 46 årene, så opprykk via play offs vil være lite trolig.

Tror vi må gå på en skikkelig Leeds, hvis vi ikke skal greie opprykk denne sesongen

WOW, just wow!

La oss få litt balanse  ;); er vi i ferd med å gå på en skikkelig Leeds akkurat nå?

Vi er ikke det og grunnen til det er at vi er beste lag i alle kampene jeg har sett oss spille. Vi har ikke vunnet alle kampene, men totalt sett har vi vært best. Vi spiller som regel greit til meget bra, skaper sjanser i hver eneste kamp og vi er for det meste gjerrige bakover.

Personlig så ser jeg ikke konturene av en sprekk, gjør dere?
I scored 24 goals helping my side win promotion back to the Premier League aged just 22. Then in my first season in the top flight I had bagged an impressive 15 goals by the end of January. My form earned me an England call-up. Am I a £35m striker? No. I am Michael Ricketts, February 2002.

Ayling har vært skadet og sliter med å finne form.
Douglas har en form dupp.
Cooper har vært blandt våre beste denne sesongen. Han er ute.
Berardi var veldig god da han spilte i høst. Hadde vært et fantastisk cover å ha.
Phillips var outstanding I def midtbane rollen sin. Men har måtte covre stopper pga mye skader.
Mister mye struktur og rytme bak med alle disse skadene.

Bamford har jo stort sett vært skadet hele tiden. Ingen tvil om at det preger de taktiske mulighetene våre i forhold til å endre kampbildet.
I tillegg har vi mistet Saiz. God tidl i sesong, men også et bra kort å sette inn fra benken. Det mangler vi.
Heldigvis har Clarke komme ned fra himmelen og gitt oss en type spiller som vi sårt har manglet. Det er et stort pluss. Men generelt for mange minuser.

Store plusset denne sesongen er at ingen har gjort seg totalt bort. Squadspillere som Dallas, Baker, Harrison, Shackleton leverer jo OK. Problemet er jo bare at de ikke leverer 5 meget solide kamper på rad. Får man 2 av 5 skal man være fornøyd.
Med andre ord. Vi trenger 1-2 kvalitetssigneringer nå i Januar, i tillegg til erstatter for Saiz.
 Også får vi håpe at Bamford og Brown er rett rundt hjørnet.

Nei. Bielsa har kontroll på dette. Blir minst PO.
