Some thoughts on #LUFC U21s today.

Not worth reading too much into the game given it was a friendly and many of the team were U18s but for those who weren’t among the 230 Leeds fans there…

I had a dream that we sold Pascal Struijk back to Ajax, and their announcement video had a whole pirate theme.

Apparently "New Leeds United striker Ian Rush opened new Italian restaurant Est Est Est on Otley Old Road. He is pictured with chef Alan Ritchie."

Not sure why they thought a plate of completely plain pasta was a good advert for a restaurant.

It was all Britpop, Terry Venables and accelerant through the letterbox.

The billionaire and the tax evading gift shops Asif Aziz's Criterion Capital manages a row of high-profile shops at Piccadilly Circus. So why does his team keeping renting them to students who vanish without paying millions of pounds in taxes?

He's one of Britain's richest men. So why does Asif Aziz's property company keep leasing London gift shops to overseas students based in abandoned offices or flytipped car parks β€” before vanishing without paying millions of pounds in taxes? www.londoncentric.media/p/asf-aziz-l...

This will happen at Leeds if we are established in the PL. Guaranteed. It is the US sports ticket model.

This is all part of a far wider flip of public assets and cash into the hands of a few thousand people (Covid contracts, HS2, NHS services, care homes, nurseries, dentists, vets) which took place largely under the Tories. Real figure closer to Β£500bn probably, or more.

I'd never seen chunky Ozil before. Looks properly menacing. That bloke in the prison drama with absolutely no control of himself.

Quite right. The BBC needs to get back to the days of a safe pair of hands when it comes to music coverage.

Good to hear we're looking at tying Wober down with a 5 year deal. Was worried someone would steal him for 15-20m.

Not Leeds, I know (although a 4 game spell under Blackwell would actually seem plausible), but one of the most notable bald footballers of the 90s.
