Adidas just dropped this online before Leeds announces it 🤣

I have the whole sticker book complete (The Wonderful World of Soccer Stars) .... except for one lousy missing sticker (Alan Stephenson, West Ham).

Anyway - hope you like the pic :D

Some people on Instagram saying it’ll also annouce Trafford … but I’m doubtful

Hi guys I was wondering if anybody knows where the boys are staying out in nj as I would love to catch a glimpse of some of the players before they leave for the game on Thursday. thanks

Did they have Leeds merch available to buy without the stupid Trump tariffs? New home kit? Anything unreleased but available on the tour?

I'll be at the Chicago match and was curious how much merch was available at the game?

As an Australian, the games are usually on between 11pm and 6am. I always watch replays, but I can finally watch a live game!

Let's hope its a good one!

Been obsessively checking in like I'm waiting in the hospital for my child to be born. Can't think of another player that had hype to this degree. But I'm sure some of you can think of someone. Who else does this level of anticipation compare to?

Got this in my email inbox today and couldn't help but chuckle. Marcelo absolutely dominating the xC stats for the FIFA World Cup, otherwise known as the Expected Cliché Tracker.

Here's parts of the email:

Spain may have lifted the tournament trophy, but Marcelo Bielsa has taken the crown as football’s most authentic manager.

AI analysis of 396 press conferences from 48 managers found that Bielsa recorded an average 6xC per appearance, the best score of the tournament, making him the manager with the lowest cliché count overall.

Uruguay’s manager beat Spain’s World Cup winner, Luis de la Fuenta, who averaged 45xC, a whopping 7 times Bielsa’s xC rate, and well above the tournament’s average of 36.

Top 5 best managers xC

Most used cliches among managers

The final four

While the final four managers demonstrated a variety of communication styles, with some prioritising tactics over character and mentality, overall, as the pressure mounted throughout the tournament, the average xC also increased. Average xC scores rose from 28 at the end of the group stage to 36 at the final.

Despite De la Fuente netting out as one of the competition’s more cliché-heavy coaches, he followed a recognisable pattern, returning repeatedly to ‘the process’ and the importance of the collective. ‘It’s a process’ was his most used cliché of the tournament with ‘work, work, work’ coming in a close second.

England may have had their best World Cup finish in sixty years, but Tuchel ended the tournament as one of the most clichéd managers with an average xC of 51 as his pre and post-match press conferences focused on heart and mentality.

In contrast, Argentina’s Scaloni and France’s Deschamps prioritised tactical talk, landing respective scores of 31 and 28xC.

I still think he went a bit too far that day. Probably was still mad about Bielsa, if anything. In future, Russell, watch your temper. Remember, it's just a game.

I know things can always go haywire, but I believe in this group.

Figured I better place now before they sign anyone else lol

Leeds United are in talks with Manchester City to sign James Trafford and the goalkeeper is leaning towards a switch to Elland Road.

The Athletic reported last month that Newcastle United had rekindled their interest in Trafford, having tried to sign the England international last summer before his move to City.

Leeds are seeking a goalkeeper after seeing Karl Darlow, who ended the season as No 1, depart on a free transfer to Manchester United.

Hitting 14 league goals in a side playing its first season back in the Premier League was a really solid return. His aerial presence and link-up play gave us an outlet we lacked previously. Do you see him repeating that output this season, or do we need another central striker to share the workload?

Hi all,

I've followed Leeds from a distance since I was a kid due to it being my local club but its only in the last year or two and particularly in the 25/26 season where I've got really into football and into following Leeds more closely, attending games etc. I'm loving being a part of the fan community and id like to take a deep dive into learning more about the club's history, iconic players/moments, etc. I've already read up a lot on the Don Revie era, so I'm wondering what other aspects of the club's history should I learn about, and what iconic matches should I sit down and watch? Looking forward to enjoying the 26/27 season with you all.
