I was really pleased to see James Justin score against Arsenal. Taking the lead away from home against a side of that quality was a great moment, and Leeds showed they could compete rather than simply sit back and defend. Performances like this show why Justin can be an important player for the team. He can keep contributing at both ends of the pitch as the season moves forward.

Can we please have a flair for data posts*? Thanks, Jimbob.*

We’ve done a great job limiting opponents counter attacks. Obviously this comes down to who you play this early in the season. But facing teams like Brentford, Arsenal, Newcastle, and Crystal Palace who all enjoy counter attacking football, it shows we are well suited to shut that down.

Our average possession for the season is 44.3%, so with less of the ball, it does lead to less counters.

We are 10th in xG conceded (8.80) with only 5 goals let in.

2nd best in interceptions for the league (11.3 per game)

5th best in clearances per game (30.5)

All per Footmob

Edit:

Just for comparison sake, stats from last season:
- our possession after 6 games was 43.5%

- average xG against was 7.4, which was mid table.

- average interceptions was 8.5 per game, mid table.

- clearances per game was 28.

Leeds United chairman Paraag Marathe made headlines last week when he spoke about dynamic pricing for football match tickets.

Speaking at Leaders Week London, a sports business summit held at Stamford Bridge, Marathe said he had been thinking about how the principle would apply to tickets for United’s home matches at Elland Road, with the focus on making prices more affordable for those supporters who attend most frequently.

Some fans reacted with frustration on social media. The club has since said dynamic pricing on tickets is not currently on its agenda.

However, given Marathe has acknowledged it is a topic he has weighed up, Beren Cross what dynamic pricing is, its pros, cons and how supporters feel about it.

I mean I would absolutely love to not sell him and keep him as a huge part of our potential future success.

But he is just so good of a player that after only a handful of games for us, the biggest teams in Europe are already calling about him. When Barca and Bayern come knocking promising more money and European success, then surely it must be a no brainer?

It is a double-edged sword if he leaves because we’re losing an amazing player but, hopefully, we also make a shit ton of money of his sale.

Obviously it will always be up to Tarik whether he leaves or not but my dream scenario would be that we get to keep him for at least 2-3 seasons and then sell him if we haven’t gotten European football by then.

Leeds fans, grab a cuppa and settle in for a deep dive into the epic story behind our legendary glory days. See why 3 true titles mean so much more than 20 💪

The Moot is a historic Leeds pub and even as recently as last season was my go to for away games. But since it got done up it feels like it has lost its soul a bit, now its full of AI slop posters and shit. I liked that it was dingy as owt and felt cramped cos it made the pub livelier on match day, now on match day its not even full. What do you guys think and do you have any other centre pubs that actually have a good atmosphere?

Somehow only four matches before another international break 🙄

A hopefully useful quirk is that our next three opponents all have extra midweek matches before our game (Man U and Sunderland away in Europe, Bournemouth have Villa in the cup)

I'd take 6 now I think, chance I might even take 5 if you could guarantee that win was against the scummers 😅

Will be published shortly, warm up your 3d printers or make nice with your 3d printer owning friends.

From Stach's Instagram story - why does he have bandaged fingers?

Not bad ratings for a loss which speaks to the performance from the starters. Trafford with the lowest rating out of the starters, highest rating for Justin just beating DCL and Tanaka.

On 4 May 2003 at Highbury, Leeds beat Arsenal 3-2 to save themselves, and handed Manchester United the title on the way out.

Peter Reid's side arrive 16th on 41 points with two games left, level with Bolton and West Ham after the Hammers beat Chelsea the day before. Arsenal have to win to keep their title defence alive.Alan Smith is suspended, so the captain steps up into midfield and a centre-back comes into the side.

Five minutes in, Harry Kewell bends in the opener after a team-mate's pass cuts out Keown. Henry equalises on 31 minutes.

Three minutes after the break, a low free-kick deflects off Ashley Cole and Gilberto to restore the lead. It's the taker's third season in a row scoring at Highbury.

Bergkamp levels again on 63 minutes, and only the goalkeeper keeps Leeds in it. Then, with two minutes left, the captain plays in the striker. He lopes past Luzhny and drives into the far corner for his 19th league goal of the season.

Leeds move to 44 points and are effectively safe. Arsenal's defeat makes United champions, so one result settles both ends of the table.

Can you name the missing players?

Jayden Bogle was preparing for the second half of last month’s 4-1 win over Newcastle United when he heard the news.

Referee Michael Salisbury approached Bogle and told him he was being credited with a first-half goal after the slightest glance of the ball. His first reaction? Asking the referee not to tell Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

“At the time, I had no idea what happened,” says Bogle. “JJ (James Justin) put in a great ball, and I thought, ‘Yeah, this is me’. You’ve seen Dom’s jump before. He just towers over everyone, and I was just on the floor. I didn’t really know what happened.

“I just heard the crowd and knew we had scored. The referee said to me, at half-time, it’s gone down as my goal because it’s come off my shoulder or something.

“And I was like, ‘Don’t tell Dom, whatever you do. He’s on a yellow card. Don’t tell him because he’s going to get head-loss’. Then he went and told him anyway."
