A recent tweet from The Athletic’s Phil Hay has left loads of Leeds United fans talking this week. The reliable Whites reporter relayed vital information from the Premier League as they confirmed their return to action on June 17th meaning the season appears to be getting back underway. Meanwhile, the Championship are yet to follow suit but Hay expects there to be an announcement over full-contact training soon. Some United supporters couldn’t contain their excitement as they believe Marcelo Bielsa’s side will be back on the pitch in the near future too.

Their seven-point cushion has them in a very healthy and advantageous position meaning their destiny is firmly in their hands. It has been 16 years since Leeds’ relegation from the Premier League and in that time they’ve been to League One and back. IS IT HAALAND SNR OR DAVID HOPKINS?

And this has a few in Yorkshire rather worried, suggesting that the same scenario could indeed repeat itself.

Leeds United may not be a Premier League outfit just yet, but fans on social media have been debating the prospects of one player in the top-flight next season. Supporters were asked on Twitter whether they’d keep or loan out young forward Tyler Roberts after a bit-part campaign this term. The 21-year-old has featured 14 times in the Championship for a total of just 492 minutes, that’s an average of 35 minutes per game. He’s bagged three goals, including a quickfire brace against Hull City as a substitute. Injuries have curtailed his progress somewhat but many at Elland Road clearly think they have a potential star on their hands should he be able to keep fit. Transfermarkt currently value him at £3.24m whilst he’s managed to pick up six caps for his national side, Wales. THE SINGLE TOUGHEST FOOTBALL LOGO QUIZ OF ALL TIME… WORLD CLASS SCORE: 95% | EXPERT SCORE: 80% | VETERAN SCORE: 65% | INTERMEDIATE SCORE: 45% | AMATEUR SCORE: 30% | TRY AGAIN: 5% Primarily a centre-forward, Roberts may have to sit behind both Patrick Bamford and Jean-Kevin Augustin – if they actually earn promotion to the top-flight – but his versatility to play anywhere along the front three could open up further possibilities. Here’s what the United faithful have said about him… Tyler has Premiership quality, l don’t think that’s in doubt so I’m surprised that this question has been raised? However, his fitness is a concern because he’s been plagued with injuries ever since he joined us. Loaning him out won’t help him, or us with regard to his fitness. — Phil B 🇮🇨+🦁🦁🦁 (@LUSCarborough) May 15, 2020 Worth keeping. If fit is a potential star. — Adrian Hudson (@AdeHudson) May 14, 2020 Definitely keep him. If we can keep him fit he’s the solution to a lot of our problems up front. Insanely underrated due to lack of game time. — Robert Hardy (@mightywrites) May 14, 2020 I feel a Roberts will be massive for us. A world class talent if we keep him fit. Even during his injuries he as got stronger. We paid a lot of money for such a young lad a lot more to come — SuperLUFC (@dansfootprints) May 15, 2020 Keep. He gives us a bit of something else. The lads a beast, he’s my neighbour and he’s always out running round and about. — Owen Johnson (@ozylufc) May 14, 2020 Keep he’s young with bags of potential we are yet to see the best of him — Paul.riches (@Paulriches14) May 14, 2020 Keep for sure, class player — Paul Brace (@paulbrace66) May 14, 2020 Yes he’s very talented, needs to stay fit though. — JT1919 (@JohnmjtJt1919) May 14, 2020 Massive potential. Lad just needs to stay fit. — Joel Ashley (@JoelAshley1992) May 14, 2020 Definitely keep him. He’s absolute class and will get better and better once he’s clear of his injuries. — Craig Morton (@crgmor) May 14, 2020 Loan Roberts out is this a joke this lad as some right potential orta found something special scouting him — LUFC 82 (@82Lufc) May 15, 2020 Definitely keep him, lad has got unbelievable talent — Jack Snowden (@JackSnowden18) May 15, 2020 Keep him.

Leeds United supporters have been left absolutely fuming by one Premier League club’s stance over how the current season should end. Aston Villa CEO Christian Purslow confirmed rumours to talkSPORT on Wednesday morning that they would try to block any rule changes that make it harder for them to defy relegation this term. “The risk of relegation is probably a £200million catastrophe for any club.” “Every club has to protect its own financial position and they’re different.”#AVFC CEO Christian Purslow says the club won’t agree to rule changes that make it harder for them to stay up. pic.twitter.com/NTPK6DyaDt — talkSPORT (@talkSPORT) May 6, 2020 One possible route to finishing the season is playing at neutral venues across the country, but some clubs would only agree to that if relegation was off the table – potentially meaning there would be no promotion into the top-flight as a result. So, this undoubtedly impacts the Whites and their chances of ending a 16-year wait for Premier League football at Elland Road. Marcelo Bielsa has steered his side to first place in the standings with only nine games remaining. They also hold a seven-point advantage to those in the playoff positions. Only West Brom have been their major challengers to the title all season, too. STUCK IN ISOLATION?

Mmm it’s about home advantage.. Make your mind up… — GARFORTH WHITES WAKEY 1970 (@mmwgreen) May 6, 2020 Why are Villa the only club in the bottom 6 being asked to play in neutral venues? Such an unfair advantage that the other 5 get to play at home — Andrew McKeeman (@TennisLeedsNI) May 6, 2020 4 home wins, isn’t it? Guess it is better than their 2 away wins. — Glenn Wood (@sleepyzoid) May 6, 2020 Down you go Purslow. — Carll Light (@Cfbhfdcvjgf) May 6, 2020 Surely all 6 teams are in same boat so how is this not about greed and looking for a free pass from relegation? — Ed (@NuttallEdward) May 6, 2020 Total nonsense. It’s one thing to be so greedy and self interested, it’s even worse trying to make up a load of pathetic excuses to try and justify it. The “loss of home advantage” is the same for all teams. It’s not washing with anyone — Chris Delaney (@ChrisGoEco) May 6, 2020 AND in other news, Phil Hay responds to Leeds question on the Championship resuming… #LeedsFans #LeedsUnited #PremierLeague

Leeds United fans have flocked to one of Phil Hay’s tweets this week after he shared an emerging story from his employers, The Athletic. The piece in question is by David Ornstein and involves club medics warning the Premier League that they believe a return to football isn’t safe whatsoever, and this obviously will have the same effect to Championship clubs such as the Whites. THE SINGLE TOUGHEST FOOTBALL LOGO QUIZ OF ALL TIME… WORLD CLASS SCORE: 95% | EXPERT SCORE: 80% | VETERAN SCORE: 65% | INTERMEDIATE SCORE: 45% | AMATEUR SCORE: 30% | TRY AGAIN: 5% He claims that doctors have written to the top-flight seeking urgent answers and raising concerns surrounding any comeback to match action. With Leeds’ promotion chances hanging in the balance, much of the Elland Road faithful have chimed in with their thoughts on the matter. Marcelo Bielsa’s side currently sit top of the Championship standings, holding a seven-point cushion over those in the playoff positions and had looked like ending their 16-year absence from England’s elite division. The EFL have constantly maintained that they would like to resume the season when it is safe to do so, but time appears to be running out after Rick Parry’s deadline of the end of July. It remains to be seen if football will continue – and whether or not Leeds will be promoted. Here’s what fans have been saying… Finish all the Premier League games and declare the Championship finished via PPG. This is the only possible solution imo — Dan (@lufc_dan) May 5, 2020 This is why they need to hurry up and make a decision. Too many people having a say and putting things into peoples heads. — Matt Ski (@dzialowskimatt) May 5, 2020 Surely PPG is the only fair option ? Can’t see how it’s a debate tbh — eddieleeds (@eddieleeds1) May 5, 2020 Its ridiculous my working team hasn’t stopped working since this began we put things in place to protect best as possible and get on with it, you cant tell me that football teams in the prem and wven champ, don’t have the resources to make it “as safe as possible” there will — ON ON ON!! (@scotttownend2) May 5, 2020 That’s that then. There won’t be any more football in the UK this year. A damning article that puts any question of resumption into perspective. 1) This season should finish next year. Cancel 20/21 altogether. 2) devastating for so many EFL clubs. How will small clubs cope?! — James Somers (@JSomers90) May 5, 2020 fighting a losing battle in the time frames they want to do this. France aimed for September… that’s probably more realistic — Dirty Leeds ¡Carajo! (@DirtyLeedsFC) May 5, 2020 End the season NOW — Mike (@Mike69846200) May 5, 2020 its bizarre that its ok for many other businesses to be open…but not footballers? — Halloween Jack (@halloweenjack01) May 5, 2020 Getting well fed up of reading nonsense everyday just end the season PPG — Liam R (@lamar2k19) May 5, 2020 End the season now on PPG. 3 up and 3 down. Sack off the euros. Start the new season in January when it’s safe to do so. Season will then fall in line with World Cup dates — Lee.ds (@anyoldsport) May 5, 2020 Honestly this is absolutely laughable. Here’s the thing (overpaid Premier league players and medics), get on with it, get out of the way or disband the league and lose your undeserved wealth. — John E.

Many Leeds United fans have been fondly remembering the Whites’ famous victory over Sheffield United at Bramall Lane, as Sunday marked 28 years since the Whites were crowned First Division champions at the end of the 1991/92 season. In the dying embers of the old Football League, Howard Wilkinson’s men went to head-to-head with Sir Alex Ferguson’s Manchester United, and came out on top in one last hurrah. The club’s official Twitter account shared pictures of United’s win away at the Blades, a Yorkshire derby that turned out to be quite a scrappy affair, but a result that proved to be the decisive moment in the two-legged race. Brian Gayle comically couldn’t control a touch and, under pressure from Eric Cantona and Rob Wallace, headed the ball back to Mel Rees, only to watch in horror as his pass lobbed the incoming goalkeeper to hand Leeds a vital three points, and the Peacocks went on to lift their first championship trophy in 18 years (Planet Football). As expected, lots of supporters raved over the iconic photos on social media, with one fan describing the triumph as “beautiful,” and another adding it was a “magical day.” Take a look at some of the glowing reactions down below… Same again next season 😜 — Simon Reilly (@SimonReilly17) April 26, 2020 What a day that was — Charlsella Bielsenberg 💛💙 (@charlieros1e) April 26, 2020 Loved it!

Andrea Radrizzani has caught the attention of multiple Leeds United supporters after tweeting a personalised ‘Stay Home Save Lives‘ message. Due to the ongoing pandemic, football across the globe is currently suspended, and many fans have taken to trawling Twitter to get their daily fix about their beloved clubs, finding content wherever they can. The Leeds owner has done his bit to help raise awareness about the government’s COVID-19 campaign. Marcelo Bielsa’s side were enjoying a prolific run of form before the season ground to a sudden halt, and many fans are desperate to return to Elland Road at the earliest opportunity. At present, the Peacocks sit at the top of the EFL Championship table, seven points clear from the playoff places, and a point above title rivals West Bromwich Albion. Indeed, Bielsa’s Whites have certainly wowed the crowds in the Don Revie stand over the course of the campaign, with centre-forward Patrick Bamford leading the way with 13 goals so far (Transfermarkt). Naturally, a large number of the United faithful replied to his post, with one calling the Italian a “class owner,” and another begging the board to “keep Mr Bielsa safe.” Have a read through some of the mixed reactions down below… Al do my bit u just keep Mr Bielsa safe — Stephen (@greenfingers48) April 20, 2020 Thought this was the follow up to take us home!

Leeds United fans have been reacting to Phil Hay’s latest column where he has been in discussion with head of medicine and performance, Rob Price. Price has to spend five days a week at Thorp Arch as he oversees the one aspect of the club that simply cannot shut down during these times. THE GREATEST BARGAINS IN PREMIER LEAGUE HISTORY – HOW MUCH DID THEY COST? WORLD CLASS SCORE: 95% | EXPERT SCORE: 80% | VETERAN SCORE: 65% | INTERMEDIATE SCORE: 45% | AMATEUR SCORE: 30% | TRY AGAIN: 5% The interview goes onto reference exactly how the club prepared for this circumstance with news initially breaking from China as well as how the players are keeping fit given Marcelo Bielsa’s rigorous demands. Price believes a mini-preseason will need to occur before any match action and claims that when football does indeed resume, Leeds will be 100 per cent ready to go, which could give them an advantage. They’ll restart sitting top of the Championship standings after 37 games, seven points from the dreaded playoff positions with only nine left to play. United are on the verge of ending a 16-year wait for top-flight football at Elland Road – of course, they’ll be ready. Here’s how supporters have been reacting to the article… Its going to be interesting to see if we come back "stronger" with a couple of key players back to fitness. Of course this goes for other teams too. I hope the final 9 games don't turn into a lottery. — david_cusworth (@David_C68) April 6, 2020 Bielsa should be running the country! — Gurj Sagoo (@judgeaknee) April 6, 2020 In January?!

Bad call imo — Reece Price (@Reece7Price) April 6, 2020 Great article Phil. Very interesting stuff. Fingers crossed all of their preparation pays off! — Jacob Ehrlich (@JacobEhrlichUK) April 6, 2020 We always start seasons well so I think once it starts again we will start where we left off, get another bielsa mini pre season in to them and we will come back all guns blazing — Robert James (@Robertkas86) April 6, 2020 Marcelo Bielsa planning for Coronavirus before the government.

Leeds United fans have been gushing over what the club has been up to recently after chairman Andrea Radrizzani tweeted a series of images. The Whites staff have been helping out the local community as well as the NHS by what appears to be packing food essentials, and supporters at Elland Road have been lapping it up on Twitter.
