The Market Arcade was the clue for me... had family friends that way and we always seemed to end up there at some point.

Cleckheaton?

Sure it’s the camera angle, but West Ham’s pitch looks like it’s 150m x 50m.

Not on the bench, no... think he was still dealing with the ankle injury that kept him out of Man U.

We beat Derby without him in R3... also, just checked, he missed the 3-0 home win vs Watford in 2023.

I’d rather we ditched Gruev for a forward…

I think that, too… but where does he play?

Think the MF needs a rethink if we stay up… more guile, please.

Hmmm… thought there was a fair bit of rust. His all-round game edges Gruev’s but not sure I want a MF with him, Amps and Stach in it.

343 with Gnonto and Brendon as the inverted wingers/10s?

Felt like an early round League Cup tie, that… a bit disjointed and a bit sloppy at times, but enough quality to get the job done. Great goals from Longstaff and Piroe, but Gnonto and Nmecha still look like the squad players most able to impact the last 9 games. #lufc

New Zealand going for the extras record or something…?

He certainly did... don't know if he still does. He made a new (although pretty poor) HoL record a couple of years ago.

Jesus... where did the time go?

Crackers, that. The fact Terry Bickers is only 60 perhaps underlines the band's odd dynamics...!

House of Love are one of the great consistents in my musical life... stood the test of time better than most of the stuff I bought in that era.

Must have bought 20 of those... including all of the top 4. Loving the fact Kitchens of Distinction are so high, too.

Just had the same argument with a colleague… not following the wag-the-dog whims of a narcissistic imbecile is a *good thing*.

Truman Book shop, Farsley Leeds

My Leeds United novel 'Days of Treacle' is now available to buy at the very wonderful @trumanbooks.bsky.social in Farsley.

Please do buy one, it would cheer me RIGHT up 😁

Archer is a bit of canon fodder on these wickets… with his pace, any good contact is flying to the boundary.

Great effort from #England, tbh… but too many slack overs at the death in their innings meant a tough chase became impossible.

Try reading those names without hearing John Motson's voice coming down a telephone line... you can't.

That's the issue with the US system... makes financial planning hellishly complicated, too.

Double-taxation treaties exist for a reason... the UK benefits from this, too, as hundreds of thousands of foreign workers pay tax into the system when they're here. People keep saying "pay the tax you owe!"... and my question is, "what tax do I owe?" I have minimal income from UK sources.

Maybe... but I'm not sure I see a different outcome. Sunderland shut us down really well and we don't have enough difference-makers in the squad. Although I did think Gnonto had an impact.

Not sure... Nmecha on the hour made some sense. I do think it needed the 343 earlier, though. Gnonto looked bright for me.
