I’m not going to name them because what’s the point but I just heard a football journalist on a podcast say “We were all surprised when Raphinha ended up at Barcelona because he wasn’t particularly brilliant at Leeds” and I have to say it’s really spoiled my evening. #lufc

Is there a pub in east or north London where Leeds fans go for games? Looking for somewhere to watch the Tottenham game on Saturday. #lufc

We’re one winger down on last season, don’t have a 10, and don’t have a striker who isn’t either a) likely to be injured for much of the season or b) demonstrably wrong for our system. I’d say two signings today would be disappointing - anything less would be pretty embarrassing. #lufc

@philippeauclair.bsky.social Great reporting Philippe! I always wonder - do the shirt manufacturers, in this case Adidas, not fear reputational damage from cases like this? bsky.app/profile/josi...

Every day, the same story, the same moral pit. The fall of this murderous government can't come soon enough. The only suitable place for Netenyahu is in court for war crimes.

Enough of this racist fiction. Enough. Not a single non-white person in England is in a job in the NHS *because* they are non-white. Not a single one. And as for the idea that England's criminal justice system goes easy on non-white people because they are non-white. Well. Just think about that.

@footballcliches.bsky.social Matthew Upson just said of Arsenal on the 5 Live commentary: “They’re almost being too dominant with the ball.” Is that a thing? That’s not a thing, right?

I will claim this as my best ever bit of chatting about football #lufc

Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce. Bear with me for a second while I try to explain.

I ask this question every time I’m at an airport, to the increasing exasperation of my wife. Thank you for (sort of) answering it @pjvogt.bsky.social. www.searchengine.show/listen/searc...

Can anyone who understands football data explain to me why there are no assists for own goals? A cross like that one from James, which basically forces the defender to put it into the net, is so deserving of one. @experimental361.com @adam-elliott118.bsky.social @joedonnohue.bsky.social
