Well, first season back and we finished in ninth spot and all I can say is WOW! I predicted ninth but that seemed optimistic even after the cracking start we made. When we got hit by Palace and Leicester, and then the schooling at Old Trafford, well, I thought we might struggle. As it turned out, Meslier, Llorente and Struijk stepped to tighten things up at the back.
But what a great time it has been these last three years with Marcelo Bielsa at the helm - and it seems the ride is not yet over. We are very lucky to have Bielsa. I'm going to really miss the football this close season. I think we have just experienced one of the greatest campaigns I've ever known in the fifty or so years I have been a fan and I have high hopes for next season. Doesn't that feel absolutely brilliant!?! I regularly take a moment in the day just to wonder at the quality of the football, the improvements, the professionalism we're now enjoying...it just blows my brain!
Thank you everyone for your posting. This forum has now become an essential part of me being a Leeds fan - you have all added enormous value to my last three seasons. I'm just too wowed to come up with anything more than that, really!
Favourite moments, anyone? Dallas's goal against City has got to be a very popular choice but I think Rodrigo celebrating his goal against Burnley with Liam Cooper was one of my top memories.
Favourite moment from 20-21?

Probably the opening day game v Liverpool in which the world saw that Leeds are for real.

Absolutely spoilt for choice - like a kid in a sweet shop its been that brilliant.
If I had to pick one it would be the other day watching MB's reaction after Tyler scored. Seemed to me to epitomise what our unique Manager is all about and by default just exactly how his whole ethos and being has allowed this Phoenix to rise from the ashes.
MOT Lads and Lasses - Onwards and Upwards!

Seeing Kalvin wearing an England shirt for the first time might be up there. So much effort and so well deserved.

Dallas second goal v Man City!
Four Seasons was priceless but if we are going in that direction nothing comes close to dumping that loser one term trump for favorite moment!

Love all of these. Season's been brilliant. I agree with all of the moments posted so far. For me, my moment(s) came down to the last game. Saying good bye to Pablo and Berra. Two of my favourite players. The crowd's reaction represented every Leeds fan unable to be there.
And of that day, seeing Bartley go out of his way to hug Berra takes the trophy for me. We knew how much Pabs & Berardi meant to the fans, players, club. What Bartley did was class and hammered home how we all felt.

In a season full of memorable moments. Really difficult to choose.
However; Dallas scoring the winner against City was slightly above the rest for me

Opening day for me l, closely followed by the win over Villa.
Then there’s just having a chat with my Everton fan neighbour this afternoon and reminding him he said we would struggle to stay up
