Ferati scores on his debut just 8 minutes into the match before Icardi equalizes for them around half an hour in, Pastore looks likely to carry on his brilliant form from last season though with 2 quick goals right before half time sealing the trophy.

I know one person reading this story isnt going to be happy with this result, but its a very good start to the season, we didnt really get going until the subs in the second half which really changed the game and we went on to win it easily.

With Ferati able to play upfront and Balotelli still firing them in, Benteke is not getting a look in and is not happy about it so when Newcastle offered over £15.75Million for him he was out the door

They opened the scoring but we soon got back into the game with Balotelli netting a brace in a match that we should have won by even more, Balotelli is now closing in on 100 league goal with 96 so far,

Very happy with our Champions League Group Draw

Newcastle go ahead early on before Balotelli netted a brace and Ferati got the other in a routine win after a slight blip to start with,

I gave a few of the second string a game and it showed as we struggled to put the ball in the back of the net but that was after Barkley scored the only goal of the game.

Blackburn V Leeds

Moreno put them ahead in the 86th minute in what looked like the winner but less than a minute later Bernard scored to put the match into extra time, we had a ton more chances than Liverpool but it ended with them winning on penalties and we go out of a domestic cup early yet again.

Leeds V Tottenham

View attachment 180138

It was a pretty even game but we had the better finishers with all 5 goals coming in the opening 36 minutes with new signings Oliver and Ferati both netting braces before Tottenham got one back.

An impressive victory against the Scottish Champions with Ferati opening the scoring before Bernard got his first goal of the night, Balotelli made it 3 before Bernard got the 4th.

6 wins from 6 is the perfect start for the new season whilst Balotelli has kept up his goalscoring record with 6 goals, we have our biggest challenge of the season so far up next as we face 3rd placed Man Utd.

The 100% run in the league this season is over as we face our first major obstacle in the race for our 3rd League Title, Man Utd had to come from behind twice to salvage a draw.

Another good win with DC Sule putting us ahead early on before Pastore made it two around half an hour in, we kicked on in the second half with Balotelli netting twice more against the Italian club.

Was having a look at the Overview of the Club and couldnt believe im still only judged as favoured personnel whilst full backs Byram and Taylor are Leeds Legends!

Ferati nets within the opening minute of the game to set us up for an easy win before grabbing the second half an hour later.

What a turnaround! After being 1-0 down with 10 minutes to go who would have thought it would end up 3-1 to us with Kostic equalizing in the 81st minute before Rudy scored the winner 6 minutes later and then Balotelli netted an even late third goal.

Undefeated in the opening 10 games with 9 wins and just 2 dropped points so far, we are just 4 points clear of Man City though who have also started well with 8 wins.

Leeds V Southampton

View attachment 179022

Erkin netted early on and it was their only shot on target for the whole game, we made a few changes in the second half to try and turn the game around, Balotelli got the equalizer but we couldnt get another to gain all 3 points.

Derby V Leeds

So we were 1-0 down again at half time before a crazy 10 minutes after the hour mark saw us go from 1-0 down to 3-1 up.

We come from behind for the 3rd time this month to ****** a draw with Diego Costa netting their opener before Pastore got the equalizer in the second half, not sure whats happened to our defence or if its having second choice keeper Gilvan in goal but we have been conceding that 1st goal far to often.

So i put out a second string in our final group game after confirming our top spot, but i didnt account for Lord Bendtner! Now at Celtic he bashed in 4 goals in this match to to take his tally to 18 goals for the season already.

We still top our Champions League group with 5 wins from 6

Oliver smashes in a quick brace before West Brom get one back, but Bernard quickly gives us our 2 goal lead back before Balotelli grabs the 4th.

Leeds V Arsenal

View attachment 178598

Yet another 1-1 draw against one of our main title rivals, i guess its good that we dont seem to lose much to our main rivals anymore like we used to but some of these matches feel like points lost rather than 1 point gained.

So despite winning our Champions League group we get probably the toughest draw possible for the next round as we face Bayern Munich

View attachment 178597

Man City V Leeds

View attachment 178595

Barbosa puts them ahead first before Balotelli equalizes just 4 minutes later, Pastore puts us ahead in the second half before Balotelli grabs his second late on.

Balotelli has now reached 100 League Goals in 119 League games and is closing in on the all time Leeds record of 168 goals

An early own goal sets us off on the right track before Ferati grabs the second, Balotelli nets early in the second half before Ferati gets a second and our 4th of the afternoon.

Lindermann joins Hull for just £3Million, he was one of those young squad players who has been shocking when called upon in fringe games so i was happy to free up space in the squad with is departure.

Balotelli had a mare against Swansea missing a shed load of chances and hitting the woodwork twice before being hauled off, they scored not long after he was taken off but Oliver managed to smash in a solo effort to grab a late point.

18 year old Brazilian centre back Renato Eduardo cost just £2.6Million and after we had a bid accepted had the likes of Barcelona and Real Madrid put in offers too so must be a big prospect
