#LUFC 0-1 Sunderland: Shut the curtains
Anyone know how to wash bleach out of your eyes? Asking for a mate.

That may be the worst game of football I've ever seen
#LUFC 0-1 Manchester City: When the sun goes down
There was a lot to like about Leeds United vs Manchester City, and enough to leave a sour taste.

In 1932, Joe Thompson boarded a ship from Southampton for his third Ashes tour of Australia carrying a leather Victor suitcase.
Almost a hundred years later, I had a rummage through the same suitcase to see what he brought back.

Season 36, Issue 06
25 years have passed since #LUFC swaggered their way to a #UCL semi-final, so we wrote about it:
- Eirik Bakke interview
- Joe Brennan speaks to Gaizka Mendieta
Plus asking for divine help, conquering Rome, best XI faced and more!

Taking an unfashionable cue from Will Smith by saying, "Keep my club's* name out of your f*ing mouth!".

I've never known a 3-0 away win feel as grim as that Watford game.
and then I wake up the next morning and remember there's no fucking chance

'“I used to hang out with [Amy Winehouse] and jam sometimes, late nights at her house, doing the exact same stuff that she was doing." Within months of Winehouse’s death, Gary Jarman had enrolled at a boxing gym.'

Truly sickening
Probably for the best we couldn’t hear the echo in the studio. Would’ve only added to the sense I was having a breakdown
The record will show I abstained from that, your Honour
Can only apologise for the shambles of last night’s Match Ball. Can’t promise this makes much more sense either.
Still my favourite bit of the whole thing
You can read the original story from four years ago here.
What started off as a daft pub conversation turned into one hell of a rabbit hole trying to work out whether MF DOOM lived in Leeds or not.

I make a little appearance in the final episode of this new podcast series on MF DOOM and how he ended up living in Leeds.
The soundtrack is by Matt Helders, so I'm counting it as fulfilling my childhood dream of collaborating with Arctic Monkeys.

#LUFC 3-1 Notts Forest: Difference maker
A season of pleasant surprises has taken its latest twist: Keep Calm and Give It To Gruev.
by @robconlon.bsky.social
@bobbydazzler69.bsky.social Not sure about ones that cover both. For NRL I really like Boom Rookies. For Super League, erm, we're recording the first 2026 episode of Real Class tomorrow😉
Keep Calm And Give It To Gruev
I had a nice day anyway, and obviously that's all that matters.
Spoons breakfast and Laser Quest at Xscape, then a quick look in Game to get Luciano a new headset.
Also the game that provided one of the greatest ever photos of heartbroken away fans inside Elland Road
🤐
Good thinking. Nobody will ever figure we're after, say, a striker.
Funnily enough we’ve just been discussing it today! It will be back soon. A bit less frequently (life, innit) but it will be back!
