    Plymouth Argyle v Leeds Utd
    Saturday 3rd May@15:00 | Home Park


    Jubilant Whites fans will make the 650 mile round trip to Home Park on Saturday afternoon as Leeds look destined to cap off the 24/25 season with 100 points on the board and the Championship title. They face a brave Plymouth side, that despite fighting for their lives this campaign, have come up short!

    Farke's side are coming off a dominant 4-0 victory over Bristol City, showcasing their attacking prowess and defensive solidity. Goals from Ao Tanaka, Willy Gnonto, and a brace from Largie Ramazani underscored their quality, sending a clear message to the Premier League that Leeds are back, with a vengeance (but without Bruce Willis)!

    While a celebratory atmosphere is expected among the traveling Leeds supporters, a more somber mood will likely prevail among the Plymouth faithful. Despite a recent 2-1 victory over Preston North End, their relegation has already been confirmed, making this final game an emotional one, albeit for contrasting reasons.

    Despite pleas for ticketless Leeds fans to stay away, thousands are anticipated to travel to the seaside for this bank holiday weekend clash.

    Leeds' recent form has been exceptional, highlighted by five consecutive Championship wins and only a single defeat since late November—a narrow 1-0 loss to Portsmouth in March. Their defensive record during this period has been particularly noteworthy, conceding just one goal in their last five outings.

    Manager Daniel Farke is expected to name a largely unchanged starting eleven. With Pascal Struijk and Joe Rothwell still unavailable, Ethan Ampadu will likely continue his strong central defensive partnership with Joe Rodon. Junior Firpo is also expected to feature in what could be his final game for Leeds, with speculation linking him to a summer move to Real Betis.

    Farke might also seize this opportunity to give valuable game time to promising youngsters like Sam Chambers, Harry Gray, and Isaac Schmidt, offering them a taste of first-team action. Largie Ramazani, fresh from his two-goal performance against Bristol City, will undoubtedly be eager for more playing time to further stake his claim for a regular starting role.

    This final match presents Leeds United with a chance to cap off a memorable season in style, securing the Championship title and solidifying their return to the Premier League. However, they will face a Plymouth side determined to end their season on a positive note, despite their relegation disappointment.

    Thinking about it staying up in yorkshire for the game would be more sensible without a ticket.

    I’m glad they’re not rock bottom as it would have bottom beats too all over it

    I’m thinking a 1-1 draw, Millwall beating or drawing with Burnley and all the talk of two teams on 100 points fizzling out

    On recent form you’d expect us to smash it but you know the board are looking for reason to replace Farke

    You sure he wasn’t injured in the post match lap of honour promotion celebration? I mean that’s the first time he’s gotten around the whole pitch in ages.

    yeh yeh, that’s his current contract. Now he’s fit we’ll need to tie him down to a longer one. Poor lad not had a pay rise in 4 years.

    A much more enjoyable nervousness about today's game.

    Want to win the league but the insurance is that we are already up regardless.

    Catching the train in to Leeds later to find a pub to watch it in. Prolly the Griffin.

    Let's go top our season off in style. Don't know why but I have a feeling Scumwall will get something at Burnley anyway. end of the day doesn't matter because we will win today. Plymouth won't sit and park a bus because they are down so nothing to play for they will probably be told go out and express themselves and try and win it for the fans in their last home game in the championship against the top side in the division.
    Which will fall straight into our hands, I see lots of goals the last day over all divisions always seems to do it, I'm going for a 1-5 score line.
    My Personal Objectives for the day
    1. 3 Points To get them magical 100 points and win the League.
    2. Piroe to hit 20 goals and win his Golden boot
    3. Bamford to sign off with a goal.

    Then I can raise my glass at about 2:30 and say yeah that's how you play a Championship season.
    A perfect season would be bagging 7 goals and getting a 100 there as well but I think that's asking to much lol but never say never.

    Enjoy it everyone whatever the score because Don't you know pump it up the Whites are going up !........ Don't you know pump it up the Whites are going up !!!!!!!!!!!
