Looking at The Championship fixtures with the misty eyed nostalgia of a bloke who's left a job he really enjoyed for a new one for more money but fewer laughs.

I am pleased the club have signed Longstaff, I think itโ€™s shrewd business and he seems a decent, committed bloke. Plenty of experience and in his prime, lots of reports from Newcastle that heโ€™s good for the dressing room so welcome to #lufc ๐Ÿ’ช

Chapeau Mr Farke Sir!
90 points, two seasons running, after the shitshow you inherited and the team dismantling last summer. Some achievement in this league. Top man! ๐ŸŽฉ #lufc

Agreed. All that matters at this stage is top 2. Insanity to wish for anything other than a Burnley win.

Controlled performance and a fully deserved win. Wins like that get you promoted. Rodon was like Ragnar Lodbrok. A warrior and a leader. MOT to Monday. #lufc #mot

โšฝ It's bizarre to think that despite currently being in 6th place, Coventry City (63 points) are closer to the last placed team, on 40 points, than they are to either Leeds United & Burnley in the automatic promotion places, on 88 points

15.04.2025 16:54 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 7    ๐Ÿ” 1    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 3    ๐Ÿ“Œ 1

So, in typical Leeds fan fashion I go from the totally unexpected elation of us being 5 points clear with 4 to play, to thinking that we could be back in third place by the end of Monday and consigned to another year of being shafted by the EFL and Sky.

Time to pull those big boy pants up! No more international breaks, no more excuses.
How much do you want it?
No good having all the talent if you donโ€™t use it. The problem is entirely between your ears #lufc The shirt shouldnโ€™t feel heavy, it should make you swell with pride! FFS Just do it!

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II.

Funny how he isnโ€™t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.

Trump says President Zelensky should be nicer to Vladimir Putin:

โ€œHe doesnโ€™t have to stand there and say โ€˜Putin this, Putin that,โ€™ all negative things. Heโ€™s got to say, โ€˜I want to make peace, I donโ€™t want to fight any longer.โ€™โ€

(Itโ€™s clear that Trump wants Ukraine to surrender to Putin.)
