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.

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?! He really is a god — Jordan (@JordanFrancis99) April 6, 2020 Fascinating insight Phil, enjoyed that. — Rob Brookes (@brookesy187) April 6, 2020 Would have gave them 2/3 weeks off myself. We’re the fittest team in the league and sounds like we’re going to try and maintain that through till June and then if it does pay off we’ve only got a short period of time to recover to then have a crack at the prem. 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. What a club👏👏👏💛💙 @LUFC so proud. Always ready to help the community #StayHomeStaySafe and support @NHSuk pic.twitter.com/jVBxcJJhwP — Andrea Radrizzani (@andrearadri) March 31, 2020 With no football action on the pitch, the west Yorkshire outfit have been trying to contribute in any way possible, so no wonder the chief-in-command is proud of the work his staff are doing in these devastating times. Leeds’ promotion push is currently on pause with them sat top of the Championship standings, holding a seven-point cushion over the dreaded playoff zone with just nine games remaining.

While Leeds United are firing on all cylinders in the Championship title race, one of their youngsters out on loan is actually doing exactly that. Marcelo Bielsa’s side made it five victories from as many matches at the weekend after defeating local rivals Huddersfield Town 2-0 in the west Yorkshire derby, meaning they overtook league leaders West Brom to regain the top spot. Meanwhile, over in the Netherlands, winger Jay-Roy Grot scored a wonderful solo goal for his temporary club Vitesse as they defeated FC Twente on Saturday afternoon. He posted the strike on social media. ⚽️ pic.twitter.com/3mPRMHnYcH — jayroygrot (@jayroy_grot) March 8, 2020 And as a result, fans have been responding in their droves with many tipping the 21-year-old for big things upon his return to Elland Road.

WATCH LEEDS UNITED VIDEOS WITH STREAMFOOTBALL.TV BELOW He has made only 22 appearances for United since joining in the summer of 2017 and with over a year to run on his current deal, there could yet be a future for him at the club.

One fan suggested he needed a pre-season while another believed he would suit the Argentine’s system. A further member of the Whites crowd claimed that Bielsa “could do wonders” with the winger if he hands him an opportunity next season.

And in other news, Leeds fans react to IMPRESSIVE defensive stat… #LeedsFans #LeedsFansReact #JayRoyGrot

Leeds are back on track for promotion and have well and truly put to bed their disastrous run of form which allowed Fulham and Brentford to close the gap. Saturday’s 2-0 win over Huddersfield takes their winning run to five matches, while the Whites have also kept a clean sheet in each one of those matches. According to Twitter account LUFCDATA, Leeds have now kept a clean sheet in 46% of their matches this season, which equates to an average of 0.81 goals per game, with 30 goals conceded in 37 league games. Marcelo Bielsa has clearly got things exactly right when it comes to the defence. His capture of Ben White has proved an inspired choice to improve that area of the squad compared to last term, as these fans’ agree with that view. Have to break the bank on White for next season. The lads have been fantastic this season, but I fear a step up might be too much for a Coops/Berra partnership. I'm sure we have someone in mind if not White though — Stu Dalgleish 💛💙 (@StuDalgleish) March 9, 2020 @ben6white a major factor — suraj kaushal (@onesuj) March 8, 2020 Many fans are, perhaps unsurprisingly, quite blown away with the stat and how good their side have been defensively this season, as it has proved to be the foundation for their success. WATCH LEEDS UNITED VIDEOS WITH STREAMFOOTBALL.TV BELOW What’s more, it is also a good long-term sign for life in the Premier League should they win promotion this year, as although White’s loan will come to an end they will stll have Bielsa’s organisation and Kalvin Phillips possibly still adding protection in midfield.
