 Ahead of our Boxing Day clash with Blackburn Rovers Keith Ingham spike Danny Hardman about all things Blue and Whites. How long have you supported Blackburn Rovers? 27 years What’s your favourite moment as a Rovers fan. Season, game or anything other occasion. Obviously winning the Premier League was massive. But more recently winning the league cup in 2003 v Spurs was great as we were massive underdogs.  Tell us about a player that you were proud to have on the back of a shirt, if you didn’t is there one you wished you would have.
Tugay. In my opinion the best footballer to ever wear a Rovers shirt, unreal talent. What’s your most memorable match playing Leeds? Recall beating you at your place 3-2 back in 2003. Always a decent occasion when you come to Ewood, guaranteed full away end and great atmosphere. Are you happy with your dealings in this summer’s transfer market? Yes and no. Mowbray doesn't like to panic buy/loan. He brought a couple of heads in but I think rovers fans would have liked to see a proven championship striker signed we need someone in Jan. What’s your realistic aim for the season? Mid-table finish is realistic. Playoffs is optimistic and in this league you never know. Mowbray has brought stability so a relegation scrap isn't a concern in my opinion. Who in your mind is going to be promoted this season? West Brom & Leeds automatic. Derby in playoffs Can you name your three for relegation this year? Bolton, Ipswich and Rotherham. Who’s your danger man? Bradley Dack Can you tell us about a rising star in the youth ranks? Lewis Travis. Centre midfielder who is versatile, he's made a few first team appearances and looks a really tidy player. Expected to go out on loan in January the experience would stand him well for next season I think. Prediction and scorers for the game? I'm going 1-1 Roofe and Graham with the goals. We’d like to thank Danny for his answers and wish him the best for the rest of the season. By Keith Ingham

 Tuesday 18/12 Jose Mourinho sacked by manutd. The beating at Anfield was the last straw for the owners at old farmyard. Samuel Siaz say’s ‘Adios’ to Leeds United and the club’s fans Thanks the the YEP. Aston Villa defender Axel Tuanzebe on the game with Leeds: “Beating the league leaders would send a message out there. That is our next target and we will be working hard this week to come up with a way to do it. “ “It will be tough. I don’t think we should expect anything less. But we will be going out to win. We don’t care who you are, what team we are playing against. We will always go out to win.” The @FA have announced that there will be no FA Cup Replays from the 5th Round of this seasons competation, a season earlier than planned. Yet another ‘knife in the back’ of the once great competition. Newcastle United’s Karl Darlow is rumoured to be high on Leeds’ list of goalkeepers the club is looking at. The keeper is available for around four million pounds but Leeds are hopeful of arranging a loan for him. Darlow suffered an elbow injury late last month but is not looking at an extended absence. The World Cup Final in 2022 will be played on this date. Bloody ridiculous!! Burton Albion beat Middlesbrough 1-0 to reach the Carabao Cup semi final. Tony Pullis could be the next manager out the door! Wednesday 19/12  A Legend signing a Legend. The great Don Revie and ‘Gentleman’ John Charles.
A ex player takes over at old farmyard until the end of the season, then another person will come in and finish the fantastic work agent Jose had started.  Ahead of today’s clash with Villa, Keith Ingham spike to fellow Unite colleague Kerry Jeffs, a Villa fan who’s very optimistic about today’s clash.
How long have you supported Aston Villa? I have supported aston villa ever since I can remember my earliest memory was at senior school I was about 13 and I was getting stick from everyone for not supporting my local team which was Birmingham City. What’s your favourite moment as a Villa fan. Season, game or anything other occasion. The time we beat birmingham City 5-1 the ground was a sell out it was an amazing atmosphere the whole ground was just rocking. Tell us about a player that you were proud to have on the back of a shirt, if you didn’t is there one you wished you would have. Alan wright he was a talented defender for astonvilla a bit of an unsung hero scored a few goals back in the day against Leeds as well 😁 What’s your most memorable match playing Leeds? 1996 coca cola cup final and we won 3-0. I didn't get the chance to go to Wembley but still it was amazing game. What’s your realistic aim for the season? We really need automatic promotion we can't take our chances again in the playoffs, it's such a tough league to get out of. Who in your mind is going to be promoted this season? I've got to say astonvilla. But I definitely think Leeds as well and may be derby. Can you name your three for relegation this year? Birmingham City, ipswich and Millwall Who’s your danger man? Has to be tammy Abraham he's just on fire this season he can't stop scoring. Can you tell us about a rising star in the youth ranks? Rushian Marcus Amari Hepburn Murphy a good player has made the first team a couple of times but plays for the under 23's Prediction and scorers for the game? I think villa 2-1 tammy Abraham and yannick bolasie to score By Keith Ingham  Tuesday 11/12
Leeds United have had more televised games this season than any other English club. 14 - Leeds 12 - manutd, Liverpool & Aston Villa 11 - Arsenal, Chelsea & Spurs Patrick Bamford returns to a familiar situation at Leeds United - the Roofe🔥 is on fire!! Thanks to the YEP TV strikes again!! The Football Supporters’ Federation have expressed their dismay after it was revealed that fewer than one third of FA Cup third-round matches will be played at 3pm on a Saturday due to television contracts. Only 10 of the 32 third-round fixtures will be played at the traditional time on January 5, with the FA’s new six-year £820m overseas television contract contributing to a raft of rearrangements. Of the other games, one will be played on Friday evening, seven will kick off at 12.30 on Saturday followed by five games kicking off Saturday evening at 17.30. There will be eight games on Sunday, including Leeds with afternoon kick offs and Wolves play Liverpool on Monday evening. FSF Chairman Malcom Clarke said: “The third round of the FA Cup on the first Saturday in January was always one of the great highlights of the season, and to have less than one third of the games kicking off at three o’clock on Saturday definitely to some extent diminishes the magic of the day.” Leeds are linked to Keiren Westwood and Karl Darlow as they look to get experienced cover for BPF when the January transfer window opens. A strong Leeds United under 23 side that included Lewis Baker, Jack Harrison, ‘Izzy’ Brown and Patrick Bamford beat Burnley 6-3 at The Barnfield Training Centre with Patrick Bamford scoring a hat trick. The other goals coming from Clarke, Baker and Brown.  Ahead of today’s clash with Bolton Wanderers, Keith Ingham spoke to Trotters fan Chris Bowden.
How long have you supported Bolton Wanderers? 15 years What’s your favourite moment as a ‘Wanderers’ fan. Season, game or anything other occasion. Has to be escaping relegation on the final day of last season , epically with the come back to win forest 3-2 Tell us about a player that you were proud to have on the back of a shirt, if you didn’t is there one you wished you would have. In terms of the past season or two, we appear to have had some good characters around the squad but in my opinion no major role models like the Gary Cahill’s etc.. What’s your most memorable match playing Leeds? Not very memorable in the past few years , I don’t think we have got a win against you in our previous 8 games in all competitions. Our 4-1 win is the most memorable for me in 2004. Are you happy with your dealings in this summer’s transfer market? (It’s pretty obvious you won’t be!) Nope, poor quality players brought in and not many of them appear to be of Championship standard. Erhun Oztumer is the one everyone was looking forward to seeing but we’ve hardly seen any of him, also the failure to get a good left back like Robinson who we had last year is costing us! Paweł Olkowski our right back has been the small highlight of this summers transfers. What’s your realistic aim for the season? Staying up but one win in 17 isn’t great. Who in your mind is going to be promoted this season? Norwich, Leeds and Aston Villa Can you name your three for relegation this year? Ipswich , Rotherham and Bolton. – I hope I’m wrong, but the rut we are in appears to be even worse than last season. Who’s your danger man? Sammy Ameobi who will be suspended for Saturdays game unfortunately after being sent off vs Norwich. – Apart from him I struggle to name someone who stands out, Yanic Wildschut, Erhun Oztumer & Josh Magennis can be dangerous but all are out of form and not in favour. Can you tell us about a rising star in the youth ranks? Lots of attention towards Connor Hall, currently on-loan at Accrington Stanley. Apart from him there hasn’t been many near the first team lately. Prediction and scorers for the game? 2-1 Leeds, Roofe & Alioski We’d like to thank Chris for taking the time to answer our questions and hope that Bolton’s season can see an upturn very soon. By Keith Ingham  Ahead of the anticipated release of Bielsa Rhapsody, Micky P Kerr spoke with our Keith Ingham about his support of Leeds United and how the song came to fruition.
I started to follow Leeds whilst I was at Primary school, my first season supporting Leeds was 91/92, it was a pretty good season for us that. Shame I was too young to appreciate it properly cause it probably won’t happen again in my lifetime! One game that stands out is 1-0 win over Liverpool, Yeboahs volley, was sat in the East stand, incredible. There have been so many moments and games over the years though, it’s my team. I was there for a lot of games in league 1 too, I was also there in the champions league. I started a podcast about football chants (although it’s not REALLY about footy chants if I’m honest, it’s just 5 lads talking footy and being daft) as me n me pals like to make up our own. I remember being in bed one morning and Bielsa Rhapsody came to me, I’d thought of the title initially and then I just lay there as my weird brain did the rest. Then I printed the words out and gave em to the lads.  Monday 3/12 Heidi Haigh’s blog from the impressive away win at Bramall Lane. https://www.facebook.com/100002644390597/posts/1869635186467943/ Thank you Heidi. Mark Hughes is sacked as Southampton manager after a disappointing run of results, his last game they were 2-0 up against the team from Salford but the game ended 2-2. Patrick Bamford on his early return from injury and his first game since his spell out with the under 23’s. Thanks to the YEP. Pablo Hernandez nominated for PFA player of the month of November.  England will face Holland in the semi final of next years UEFA Nations League in Portugal. The game will be played on Thursday June 6th. In the other tie hosts Portugal will play Switzerland the day before(5th).
The final and third/fourth place game will be on June 9th. Pawel Cibicki, who returned from his loan spell at Norwegian club Molde is expected to move permanently in January, at least one MLS has expressed an interest in the striker. It was expected that he would be given an opportunity to impress Marcelo Bielsa after scoring three goals in thirteen appearances for the Norwegian side managed by Ole Gunnar Solksjaer. It now seems to be that Leeds are keen to move the striker on as he has still eighteen months on his contract to go. Leeds drawn away to QPR in the 3rd round of the FA Cup. Date confirmed as Sunday 6th of January. Kick off 2.00pm. The game has been chosen for an overseas broadcast. Luca Modric wins the Ballon d’Or(World Footballer of the Year) Cristiano Ronaldo was voted second, Antoine Griezman third. Lionel Messi came a surprising fifth. England’s only nominee Harry Kane was 10th out of thirty listed. popularSTAND fanzine(Doncaster Rovers) win the Fanzine of the year. Tuesday 4/12 Marcelo Bielsa on Aapo Halme: “He had a balanced game and was not impressed by the importance of the game. He played at a good level when he had to play aerial balls and recover the ball. Regarding the use of the ball, he had the same inconvenience as the other players of the line of three”. “We took this game as a possibility to compare it with the game against West Bromwich (Albion)and we had special interest in not making a mistake."  As we head into the busy Christmas period and enjoy not only all the football ahead, but also the shopping and meals; we must remember that some are less fortunate than ourselves.
Working with Lufc, the Leeds United Supporters Trust are asking fans to donate what they can to support two of Leeds’ biggest food banks. The drive will take place tomorrow Saturday 8th December and will be held outside the East Stand prior to the game. Supported by both Leeds United’s CEO Angus Kinnear and the players that many fans will see on Saturday, the need for support has never been bigger as several families prepare for what could be the hardest winter in years. Last year the two food banks had provided food for a total of 18,563 people, which also included 6,901 children. The Leeds United Supporters Trust has given this list of items; Dilute Juice Tins of fish/tomatoes/potatoes/veg Mash/Smash Custard Rice Pudding Cereal Pasta Sauce Long life fruit juice Coffee Toiletries Supporters can also pledge cash donations if they can’t make the game online here: https://bit.ly/2DZSSzw. At work, we’re working on providing the biggest donation we can collect for the hungry and we are sure that most of the people that read this are doing the same. However, any support that can be done for Saturday would not only be appreciated by the club and the Trust, but also families who really need it this year.
