April 2019

West Ham V Leeds

View attachment 185005

Balotelli netted twice but we were utterly schooled by German Legend Mario Gomez who smashed 4 goals past us.

Mario Gomez is 33 years of age but has still netted 23 goals for West Ham this season

View attachment 185004

Leeds V Liverpool

View attachment 185003

What a result against one of the OG Big 5! We struggled for years to beat any of them and now we go and smash 5 past Liverpool with former player Balotelli netting all 5 goals.

Leeds V Crystal Palace

View attachment 185002

Another impressive display and Balotelli gets another Hattrick and seems to have found some brilliant form at the perfect time with 10 goals in his last 3 league games.

Not only that good result for us but Bournemouth went and beat Arsenal

View attachment 185001

Europa League Quarter Final 1st Leg
Leeds V CSKA Moscow

View attachment 185000

They opened the scoring before an own goal a minute later got us back into it, It looked like Pastore would go on to win us the game with an 87th minute goal but they got one back in injury time and we could well be out of Europa because of that goal.

Mowatt gets another injury with 4 Months Out

Arsenal are falling apart as they manage just 1 Point against Southampton

View attachment 184998

Hull V Leeds

View attachment 184997

So Arsenal give us the opening but we screw it up as Hull are all over us and we then go and concede a very late goal.

Europa League Quarter Final 2nd Leg
CSKA Moscow V Leeds

View attachment 184996

Well we get resoundly beaten back in Russia and are comfortably knocked out of Europe thanks to a 5-2 on aggregate loss.

All the sadness from getting knocked out of the Europa League is short lived though as we confirm our place in the Champions League next season

So we have just 4 games to go and are guaranteed a top 3 finish now and have a 2 point lead at the top of the table over 2nd placed Arsenal.
We face 14th placed West Brom next and then 9th placed Everton before playing 3rd placed Man Utd and end the season playing 20th placed Sunderland.​

May 2019

West Brom V Leeds

View attachment 184676

We were actually behind in this match twice but managed to make a few subs and we turned it up a notch late on an smashed in 3 late goals to make the match look a whole lot more dominant than it was.

2 Wins from our last 3 games will see us win the Title

View attachment 184675

Leeds V Everton

View attachment 184674

They had a man sent off early on but it didnt really help us as they seemed to shut up shop and it took almost an hour after the sending off for us to break the deadlock with winger Kostic netting the first goal and then Benteke got the second.
What i didnt realise until after the match was that Arsenal lost to Liverpool early on in the day meaning only one thing . . . . .

Leeds United Win the Premier League!!!

View attachment 184673

League Table

View attachment 184672

So there it is! 5 points clear at the top of the table with 2 games to go whilst Arsenal have just one game to play

Leeds V Man Utd

View attachment 184671

We dominated this game but i think after winning the Title our players may have lost interest late on and we let in two late goals and failed to beat Man Utd yet again.

Sunderland V Leeds

View attachment 184670

Well you wouldnt expect top versus bottom to end like this! Sunderland destroyed us before we even got going being 4-0 up inside half an hour with Ponce netting a Hattrick.

£37Million for winning the Title

View attachment 184669

League Table

View attachment 184668

So despite losing our last two games we still win the League by a credible 4 points, Balotelli came in second in the race for the Golden Boot after his recent 10 goals in 3 games he flew up the charts whilst Bernard and Barkley came second and third in the highest average rating charts with Townsend in second and Bernard in third for most assists.

We won the league which is all that matters but yet again we struggled in both of the domestic cups but did have a bit of a good run in the Europa League but that means little compared to a Champions League run im hoping for next season!

We let Victor Moses move on to Everton for what i thought was a good £6Million fee but the fans consider it to be a big loss from the £7Million we bought him for, he was mainly moved on because of this next guy coming in.

Nathan Ake joins Sevilla for just under £5Million

View attachment 183961

Ake's replacement is Jesus Vallejo from Real Madrid for a cool £20Million fee, whilst we also bring in a young central midfielder Iain Connolly on a free transfer as i look to fill out the squad a bit with some promising youngsters

Jesus Vallejo - DC

He must be a good signing though as Connolly makes the Euro Under 21 Dream Team

Despite winning the ****** League last year the Media reckon we will fall down the table this season and get sixth place.

Sven Bender out for 2 months and will miss the start of the season

View attachment 183955

Right so up next is the start of the season were i really think we should fight for the Title again this season, i think its going to be tough to win the Title again this year but hopefully a cup run will see us pick up some more Silverware. A good showing in the Champions League is also a must.​

A few injuries to kick off the new season with Bernard and Barkley doubtful to play the whole match

Community Shield
Liverpool V Leeds

View attachment 183847

We really should have added to our Trophy Cabinet today but some how came out with a loss, Balotelli missed a penalty inside 10 minutes against his former club before Vietto put them 2-0 up just after half time before we managed to get it back level through goals from Odegaard and then Balotelli but they managed to get a very late winner from new signing Muto.

Since the Title Win we have over 7000 extra season ticket holders

Leeds V Man City

View attachment 183845

We went ahead twice in this match but it ended 3-3 with Man City as we had Balotelli net a brace against yet another of his former clubs.

Mowatt out for 5 Weeks - His Career is really getting wrecked by injury

View attachment 183844

Liverpool V Leeds

View attachment 183843

Thats more like it as we get our revenge on Liverpool after our recent loss in the Cup with Cook scoring inside 5 minutes before they got one back just before half time, Balotelli netted the winner in the second half in a game were we had a lot of the ball but Liverpool missed a shed load of chances. The days when Icardi and Origi used to smash them past us are over.

Rudy Signs a New Deal

Leeds V Derby

View attachment 183840

It was a pretty dominant performance again with Kostic, Balotelli and Bernard all scoring without reply but then we almost let it all slip as we conceded two late goals to allow them to get a foot hold back in the game but we just about managed to see the game through.

Man City are the biggest spenders with £124Million going out but they did sell Gabriel Barbosa to Chelsea for a big fee to recoup some of that money whilst Arsenal bringing in Aboubakar is probably my chosen signing of the season.

Leeds V Swansea

View attachment 183736

It was another dominant display with Pastore pulling the strings in midfield, it was defender Rudiger who put us ahead before Balotelli carried on with his rich vein of goalscoring form with a second half goal to seal the 3 points.

We started so well and then finished so poorly! My attacking trio of Kostic, Odegaard and Pastore all got goals inside the first half an hour before Anderlecht came on strong late on to get two goals back.

It was another dominant display but it took until the second half for us to really show that domination in the scoreline with Pastore netting first before Benteke scored just a few minutes after coming on for Balotelli, they got one late on which seems our specialty.

Capital One Cup 3rd Rnd
Arsenal V Leeds

View attachment 183731

Arsenal came from behind twice to even this cup game up but the big difference was our attacking options we can bring off the bench with Benteke grabbing the late winner after replacing Balotelli just 3 minutes before.

View attachment 183729

We really should have won this match with far superior possession and chances but they managed to come from behind twice to get the draw and we really need to do something about conceding all these goals after we take the lead.
