Mac's Lads' and Luciano are the Bee's Knee's!

Leeds cruised to a 2-0 win at Barnet and Macca dropped a strong hint that he wants to keep Argentinian trialist Luciano Becchio.

Becchio did not score at Barnet and completed 68 minutes in the whites' win in London, but Macca described his performance as "excellent" and admitted that Leeds would "have to move quickly" to snap-up the former Barcelona striker.

Andy Robinson and Jonny Howson (pictured) were on target for the whites', as Macca's first-string remained unbeaten during their pre-season matches.

Leeds will conclude their summer preparations for the 2008/09 season, with our now seemingly annual trip to Darlington on Tues (29th July) KO 7.45pm, before hosting Belgians FCV Dender next Saturday (August 2nd) KO 3pm at ER.

Lets hope Mac's Lads' remain unbeaten throughout the warm-up games and carry it on to Scunthorpe on August 9th - where Leeds defend a proud record of not being beaten on the opening day of the season since 1989/90 (Newcastle away 2-5).

And lets hope Snr Becchio is signed up pronto and fulfills his obvious potential.

What to read next:

Leeds coast to comprehensive win over Plymouth
The goalscoring was confined to an eight minute period towards the end of the first half, but Leeds were so dominant throughout the entire 90 minutes that Plymouth Argyle didn’t manage a single shot on goal.

Farke feels Leeds should have come back from Ashton Gate with a win
Leeds had more of the possession and created the better chances against Bristol City, so it feels a little frustrating that we didn’t take all three points.

Bristol City Awaydaze
It will be an early start if you’re making a day trip to Bristol City on Saturday, as kick-off is at 12.30pm, thanks to our very good friends at Sky Sports. You’ll find Ashton Gate about 2 miles to the south-west of the city centre.

Leeds bring in Guilavogui as experienced backup
The club have made a move to bolster the squad by signing 34-year-old Josuha Guilavogui, who can operate in a number of defensive positions. Subject to obtaining a work permit, he will now be with us until the end of the current season.

Leeds hold on to beat spirited Watford
At the start it looked like we were cruising to an easy victory, but Watford came back at us, and at the end we were relieved to hear the final whistle

Farke hails a “Mature performance” against the Blades
It took a while for Leeds to break down a well organised Sheffield United side in this keenly contested Yorkshire derby, but once we’d got the breakthrough from an unlikely source we never looked like surrendering the three points.

Farke blames rogue bounce for Meslier howler
It was the proverbial ‘would have taken a draw at the start’ but the night ended in crushing disappointment after we came so close to beating Sunderland.

Sunderland Awaydaze
Our game at Sunderland kicks off on Friday night at 8pm, thanks to yet another Sky Sports selection. You'll find the Stadium of Light on the site of the former Monkwearmouth Colliery on the north bank of the River Wear, the opposite side from the city centre.

Farke happy with the draw at Carrow Road
Most of the fans who watched last night’s visit to Norwich City would accept that a draw was a fair result after an even contest, and Daniel Farke was happy to take a point from a difficult away game against one of the better teams in the division.

Norwich Awaydaze
We visit Norwich City on Tuesday, and kick off is at 7.45pm. You’ll find Carrow Road less than a mile to the south-east of the city centre. It’s not the main game on Sky that night, but some of their packages will include the option to watch the game live.
