Not like us to get some luck, but to be honest they never gave up, the team spirit farke has made is superb.

Perhaps the harder you try the luckier you get.

Who had Roberts scoring at 80

[spaldy]

That left winger of theirs was a handful. No idea why their coach subbed him. It was all downhill for them after that

[Rev72]

Realism was just about to slap us in the face, but then it got a kick in the balls.

A slap in the face and a kick in the balls...I got a mate who used to pay a woman to do that

[Rev72]

Silly Willy lost his man for the 1st goal.
Silly Willy should have buried his chance.
Piroe should have passed to Summerville for a cert goal.

Leicester had numerous chances to put us to bed 2nd half but didn't.
Farke got his subs spot on and hey presto!...3-1 the Leeds!!!!

Crackers game , absolutely crackers!

What an unbelievable night. Elland Road went wild. Scenes of absolute joy

I dont think I have ever seen 3 flukey goals like that in a game let alone in the last 10 min. 2 of the goals were clear, big deflections. Leicester players forgot how to put the ball in the net in the 2nd half. I find that these types of strange occurrences often occur in night/evening matches.

first half if we score any of the 3 decent attacks we had the 2nd half could have been very different, from 45 to 77th minute we were rubbish, then all of a sudden those 3 subs help along with the tactical switch and Leeds score, and the biggest thing I noticed was that it majorly rattled Leicester, they were in absolute shock, Eddie gray once said you make your own luck in football, well for the final 10-15mins we certainly did that, throughout the match it seemed like we were scared to shoot, and if you don't shoot, you can't hope to score or win, thankfully that fear disappeared, 3 shots on goal, 3 goals scored, great win in the end for Leeds, still unbeaten at home this season, 9 consecutive wins out of 9 league matches in 2024, it's promotion form, but still a dozen matches to play, the race for the top 2 intensifies further, and with the playoff places still up for grabs too, this really is all to play for, how's about this for what could be the boldest prediction yet. Leeds 1st, Ipswich 2nd, Leicester and Southampton finish in the playoffs, but neither win the playoffs and another team gains promotion, leaving Leicester and Southampton to Duke it out next season in the championship once more. It's highly unlikely, but I'd be interested to know what the odds of that would be, and you wouldn't begrudge someone putting a £1 bet on that, the return I think would be quite large! Anyway, what a night for Leeds United, Leeds do the double over Leicester City, 9 wins, 0 draws, 0 losses, 22 goals scored, just 2 conceded in 2024 so far, I just hope to god that the Chelsea cup game/s don't derail our season. MOT!!!
