Bit better this year - bored of musical socks and packs of cards.....
A yellow bucket hat, some pin badges and a light up plaque for the wall.

So the "worst kept secret" plans are finally being released and breaking on SKY.
We are now looking to increase the capacity of Elland Road to 53,000 with development of the North and West stands.
This will include an increase in the premium corporate offerings.
This is well overdue and should get absolute support for everyone around the club - without having sustainable revenue we'll always have one hand tied behind our back when it comes to PSR. Once this is done the club's natural revenues will allow us to be in the EPL top 10 without raising funds by selling players.

I know it's not strictly LUFC, but he was Leeds through and through.
I was at Headingley only yesterday.
A great ambassador and along with Sir Kevin Sinfield he showed huge courage.

• Match Day Miracle?
So I called it wrong again - there's a theme brewing folks. First leg v Norwich was supposed to be a great big flop, but it wasn't. The second leg was supposed to be a cruel nailbiter going into extra time before we lost out - but it wasn't.
So here we are. Wembley. Home of heartache and failure for Leeds Utd decade after decade. What better place for our team to break our hearts if they insist on dragging our pain out through the playoffs.
Since we beat Liverpool in the Charity Shield in 92 (needed that kung fu loving traitor to help us out) we've fallen short v Aston Villa, Watford and Doncaster. Who better to come up against than the one team that's done the double over us this season. Ace. 0-3 Armstrong hattrick and abject misery incoming.
Now that's that out of the way....
Sunday is quite simply the richest game in sport - £136M is the least you get for winning, but it could lead to much more. Leeds are now a well run and stable club, something we're not used to since Leslie Silver's time so this feels like a massive sliding doors moment for us - victory and we could be watching European football in a 55,000 Elland Road by 2030. Defeat and we could find ourselves being the new Burnley bobbing up and down with talented kids and untried young managers.
We all know Sunday will be a one-off - roll the dice and let's see who has the minerals for the big occasion.
My Team is not a surprise - even if others are fit, we stick by the ones we know.
Meslier
Gray Rodon Ampadu Firpo
Gruev Kamara
Gnonto Rutter Summerville
Piroe
Weather: again it's perfect for M'Lud, warm and wet
This time Leeds. This time.

• Match Day Maybe
OK - I was wrong. I posted doom and gloom, assumed we'd get trampled and we'd all be having a wretched Sunday. Not the case.
So what happened? Meslier's passing was as flaky as ever, Gnonto still wanted to get booked at any price and Rutter still looks like one of those Tik Tok imposters, but actually the formation change and the increased control in midfield made us look more solid, if less exciting.
But this is Leeds - why kill our dreams quickly and kindly? Remember Derby folks, if Leeds are gonna screw it up then it's Thursday when they'll do it - just as hope crept back in!
I reckon it's an unchanged line-up, certainly for the first half. I think Dan James will get more minutes in the second - he could be the difference maker. As for Narridge, I gather Sargent is fit for the second leg, which is a shame because he's a real counter attacking threat, but Barnes won't be playing again.
Prediction: It goes beyond 90 mins but after that it's anybody's guess.....
Weather: just to please M'Lud, it's going to be warm and wet.

• Match Day Misery
Well, here we are. In the immortal words of M'Lud I get to go down in the memories of 7 blokes for a short while by hammering the final nail into our season.
Leeds Utd and playoffs mix like Roast Chicken and Custard. 5 attempts ZERO successes.
Charlton, Watford, Millwall, Doncaster (FFS) and Derby all pulled our pants down and over the next 2 weeks Norwich, Saints and WBA get the chance to add their names to the list.
Would I normally be quite so miserable? Nope - but then again watching the last 2 games alone is enough to have me turning off the telly and popping into the garden to squash my c*** flat with a brick.
Right, let's try to keep this light shall we? So here's you matchday sweepstake - which of the following classic headlines will be first up on Monday Morning?
A) For Farke's sake Leeds
B) Farke-ing useless
C) What a Farke up
D) Farke-ing embarrassed
For me the team needs a dramatic shake up, and for a hardcore defender of Meslier to say this isn't easy - it starts with another goalkeeper - any of them will do, just get him out. His future is not with us, that much is becoming clear. Byram has to play LB because Firpo is a walking disaster defensively and Norwich will tear him a new one. Rutter needs something - not sure if its a kick up the backside, an arm round his shoulder or a bit of time on the bench. More worryingly Gnonto needs to start concentrating on the game and not getting booked, Summerville needs to start working harder and we need Kamara to stop waltzing round the field in a daze and start getting stuck in.
Right, that's all that out of the way.
Norwich is famous for Mustard, Turkeys and women with 6 toes etc etc.

Retiring - announced today after his serious injury.
Looks like he'll be staying around the club in an alternative capacity.
I have loads of respect for the contribution this guy has made to us, and am sorry it's ended this way. Will never forget the brace at Man City.
He gets a farewell on Saturday at half time with his family.

Addiction is a terrible thing, but I've decided to kick the habit.
Contract up at the end of January - price offer is disgusting, so I have done what I should have done many moons ago and kicked them into touch.
So what's the best alternatives? Any other post-SKY recovery stories?

Safe travels if you're headed there:
You head away from the Shire, hang a left as you pass through Rohan, left into Gondor and just as you get to the flaming and dark spires you'll find West Bromwich.
Famous fans/sufferers:
Frank Skinner
Lenny Henry
Julie Walters
Douglas "one ring" Bader
Our boys have faltered on their travels, unless there's a change in style, energy or line-up I suspect this will be a tough end to a tough year. Good riddance to 2023 whatever the result.
Carlos Corberan has done a strong job there and he'll be up for taking more points off us after their draw at ER early in the season.
I am going to hold out hope for some lineup changes (3 to be precise, even if 1 is enforced):
Darlow
Spence Rodon Struijk Byram
Ampadu Kamara
Summerville Piroe Gnonto
Rutter
West Brom to scare the crap out of us and we scrape a draw 2-2
Weather: gusts of coal dust, stench of poverty so take a mask.

Wendies sneak the Wembley final so:
There's a hell of a lot of big city clubs in there 😣
I've seen 20 (YES 20!!) in the top flight, with 18 in the more recent PL era.

This Tuesday sees the Mighty Whites under new management continue their FA Cup adventure down at the Cottage. We're live on the BBC KO 7:45pm This game could be a mixed blessing - on the one hand it's a rubbish cup draw, having to travel away to a team ahead of us in the PL but not a glamour tie. On the other hand it's a free hit for Gracia to see the team against PL opposition without relegation worries. Fulham are clearly having a great season by their standards - in a Europa League spot as things stand, Marco Silva is turning into a top appointment for them, gelling an unheralded group into this season's surprise package. Fulhams' honours list includes the Intertoto Cup in 2002. And.... err, that's it. Here's your STAT OF THE DAY - the tables below refer to managing Watford.....Silva got the boot to be replaced by our Javi...... and it's food for thought. In the mean time lets press on with the important stuff: Famous Fans Richard Osman Lily Allen George Michael Boy George Freddie Mercury Douglas "gobbler" Bader (is this right? I looked up Cottagers on google...) 🤔 Weather Smog again, faint sewage EDIT: breeze from the Thames Predicted Line-up I'd love to see us go again with a first team line-up and bed in the new tactics, but at the same time with a relegation 6 pointer at Chelsea on Saturday he's better off rotating and seeing others play. Meslier Rasmus Monteiro Cooper Pascal Jimmy Greenwood Roca Willy Rutter Joseph We're going to play a much more measured defensive game, waste time and get out of the Capital with a draw EDIT, TC10 is right (for once!!) it has to be decided on Tuesday, no replays, so I'll go for pens too. Fulham 1-1 Leeds (Rutter to open his account) Pie Chart All yours folks.
