#lufc
fans, have a read of my summary of the Leeds game. We waste so many chances to grab solid points through conceding poor goals. We matched the Villa in all bar two crucial moments but these moments occur too often and are crippling us.

WTAF is wrong with Starmer, German & French leaders reminding President Zelenskyy in a telephone call, that 'Ukraine must determine its future under its sovereignty'? They fucking need to tell Trump that… not the president of the country that is the victim of an illegal Russian invasion!

Incredible a'noon at Caister. First a Pallas's flitting through in a huge tit flock. Then another glimpsed warbler, silent & elusive. After a heard only bird at Thornham y'day I wondered if I just hallucinate Hume's Warblers. Till it popped up calling. And a Dusky calling too!
