Slightly boring fact. The man who designed those shitty flats is the same bloke who did Leeds International Pool. He was also sent to prison for bribery en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Po...

Either Ponte isn't too bad or I'm the hardest man in the town as I've never had a problem.

Those flats at the start of the Ponte section are actually in the process of being demolished. That end of town is dodgy to be fair.

"15 years ago, Polish workers came here to find opportunity. Now Poland is growing twice as fast as we are," says Kemi Badenoch.

Any ideas what may have happened in the interim?

Probably agree, though it didn't help. Our own poor finishing was the deciding factor.

Yep. No consistency at all. Not sure how the players are supposed to know what is/isn't acceptable in a game like that. Felt like the balance of his inconsistency certainly went against us.

Calvert Lewin feels vital to how we play but also missing plenty or presentable chances. This feels familiar...

Clearly lots of annoyance at the ref in the stadium. I don't think he got anything major wrong but hugely inconsistent with some 50/50 shoulder stuff.

Also allowed Romero & Palhinha to talk shit to him all game without any punishment. Would probably have booked one of them for it if not on yellow.

2 deflected goals for them. Not sure Darlow made another save?

Really unlucky there. Arguably deserved a win, never mind a draw.

IDC Network representative Beatriz Carbonell explained how key to its private equity bid was a "strong alliance" with Racing Santander, and "space for collaboration" with Leeds United and San Francisco 49ersΒ #lufc

For clarity, I should add that it turns out the Β£21.50 does actually cover the first 4 people. Even so, it's free up Beeston hill or in Holbeck, isn't it? Hardly an incentive for people.

Oh, I don't want to book it! Just saw it on an email and was curious.

Ah okay, it's a strangely worded page in that case. Even so, Β£7 per person seems steep for a 3 mile journey.

Is that definitely right? Adding just a car shows just "1 seat"? Also, as it's park and ride, everyone has a car, surely? So the Β£7 alone would mean nothing at all.

If they're trying to stop people driving to Elland Road, this is no sort of a solution. Fuckin' OWWWW MUCH?

Bella Ciao - ORIGINALE

@michaeltsb.bsky.social The EPSN guy's Calvert-Levin song is from Bella Ciao, an Italian anti-fascist tune. What Dazzling Dave's father is saying? Ain't got the foggiest. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CI3...

Hungry Like the Wolf

@michaeltsb.bsky.social the Stach song is Hungry Like the Wolf by Duran Duran, I think. Appropriate on two levels - we bit Wolves and Duran Duran were from the West Mids. open.spotify.com/track/5pIaAk...

Those Tom life insurance adverts are so persistent for me that im starting to find them vaguely threatening.

I certainly hasn't aged well. I guess at the time we had high(ish) hopes for the likes of Gelhardt, Bate and Hjelde.

Because of reasons, I'm just looking at that game when we drew 3-3 with Villa under Bielsa. Look at that bench, ffs. We were trying to stay in the Premier League with that.

Can't believe they've used a photo of the discovery inn. What a mistake to make.
