If WHam jettison Nuno, what chances they go for Scott Parker next? Played for them ( #HKTC), and is highly competent at getting teams promoted out of that league ( #HeKnowsTheLeague). I really don't care, of course, but it's hot and I'm bored.

Fantastic season, this afternoon largely irrelevant to #lufc. A 14th place finish is a great return, well done everyone involved. We did, however, manage to lose to 4 of the bottom 5 teams, a timely reminder of the need to improve this squad, and not take for granted that we'll be ok next season.

In a pub where the three tellys are showing Spurs, Arsenal and, er, Spurs games. Many Arsenal fans here, mostly watching the Spurs game.

My understanding is that this pattern is more or less repeated each season (with a few outliers, of course) - that the teams with higher wage bills end in the higher positions. Which kind of suggests that the minutae of tactics & selections etc we all fewm over each week is less relevant. Maybe?

Proud dad day - both my daughters have donated blood this week. I know it's a small thing and many of you do it. But, as someone who owes their life to a transfusion, it means a lot. If you haven't donated recently but are allowed to, do look into it, maybe make an appointment www.blood.co.uk

I wouldn’t mind, but you actually follow me?

Have totted up my 39 games from the 2025/26 season - 11 #lufc home league games + 3 FA Cup games (Derby, Norwich, Chelsea); 20 Cambridge games as a volunteer + their promotion clincher at Crewe; 3 Lincoln games with my dad including the title-winning win at Doncaster; and a couple of randoms. Fitba.

An Elland Road season bookended by two somewhat fortuitous 1-0 wins. With a hell of a lot of graft, organisation and determination in between. A season consisting almost entirely of #KeepFighting spirit and #SideBeforeSelf attitude. Well played, #lufc

In the interests of balance and fairness, a big thank you to the Brighton fan who offered me his seat on this over crowded train after I'd been left standing when all the reservations were cancelled. Restores your faith in humanity etc. Still hope #lufc batter them this afternoon, mind.

Once more unto the breach... Setting off for #lufc for the last time this season. I did toy with the idea of wearing my 1981/82 RFW kit, in a tribute to Kevin Hird and Gary Hamson. But time has not been kind to my svelte teenage form, and when I put it on this morning I looked more like this:

As you were. 45 minutes to go for Hearts. They've been the more composed side, imho. Lots of huff and puff from Celtic but little goal threat before the penalty. Hope Hearts keep attacking, think they'll score more if they do.

I'm literally the only person in our local. Oh well, come on Hearts!

Some serious #AsItStands tension in Scotland tonight.

Subscribe to my football daily ultra concise, nothing-left-on-the-pitch blog. Today's edition: Good luck Hearts. F*ck Southampton. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

One of the more reliable indicators that summer is on its way - arrival of the @wsc.co.uk World Cup wallchart.

Yep, it's only Spurs preventing, um, Spurs from winning here 😒 #lufc

Come on #lufc let's have this Willem Korsten derby.

Obviously not to steal your thunder, but my own punk diaries which are definitely authentic and everything reveal so much about the times. What times they were.

Big up Daniel Farke. #lufc

That lad Mane at Wolves (the guy who scored at ER a few weeks ago) is good enough to stay in the Prem, imho. Pacey, strong, direct. A club looking for an auxiliary left sided attacker could do worse. #lufc

My weekly muttering that while Brian Moore was a director at Gillingham he obviously absolutely *loved* West Ham. #TheBigMatchRevisited

I went to #lufc league match at Spurs at this time in 1982. They played this Chas & Dave abomination about 5 times, they came on the pitch at half time and I don't think I ever recovered from the trauma. #totp

Outstanding local tv "news" item just now, about an ex-teacher who isn't dead. That's it, that's the story.

Wu-nderbar! #TheSnooker

There's only one word for that: "championship darts" #TheSnooker

Narrator voice: It was (a). (Or maybe all three?)

That flashback section on #theSnooker reminded me (a) what a charmless prick Hendry is and (b) how many finals Jimmy White reached but didn't win. Worse track record than Leeds United! #lufc

It’s alright in there. Roughest pub I have EVER been in was in Swansea. Everything was screwed down. Chairs, tables, the lot. Ruth ordered a white wine and the landlord disappeared for a good ten minutes and appeared with the silver lining from a box of wine and squeezed the contents into a pint pot

Some quality #AsItStands tension in the away end at Crewe this afternoon, as a goal for Salford at any point would've catapulted them into the auto promo spots at Cambridge's expense. Notts County in the mix too. In the end, two tense and dull 0-0s saw Cambridge hang on. Cue pitch invasion.

Super Hoops? Super poohs more like, amirite? #anagram #humour #efl #effluent

Happy days when #lufc win. And staying over in the city, rather than driving the 160 miles home late at night, is definitely the more civilised option.

In a totally shocking and unprecedented development, my train to Leeds is delayed. #lufc

On the plus side, Stach is available- his attacking quality could be crucial in the remaining games. On the down side, everything else. But particularly Gudmundsson's injury, which is a significant blow. We also have a clearer idea of where we need an upgrade - NEWSFLASH: Creating & scoring #lufc

#LondonMarathon #FACup Mashup at King's Cross. Good luck to everyone running. And to @leedsunited.com @alzheimersresearchuk.org

Sat on the floor of a packed train heading to King's Cross. Loads of #lufc fans on board, plenty without match tickets. Up for the Cup indeed.

After a nervy half hour Cambridge gradually took control & ended up winning fairly comfortably. Win at Crewe next Saturday and they're up. Slightly deflated by the EPL results at FT, I rallied courtesy of the complementary volunteers' "last home game" pint, and me & Mrs L had a wander on the pitch.

Turnstiles about to open for Cambridge United's last home game of the season (all being well). Glorious sunshine. I'm back on programme selling duty.

Not sure if this is the most enthralling frame in the history of snooker or two pissed up blokes messing around down the Legion #thesnooker

The prospect of a Chelsea manager on a zero hours contract looms ever closer.

#ratemyroasts (yes, there's some parsnips in there too)

"Fannying around at the back" will be the downfall of this City side and, in due course, Western civilisation.

Home from #lufc. Enjoy #BournemouthWe'reSorry those of you who are going. Everyone else - see you at Wembley.

File that #lufc win as "one that won't live long in the memory". Lost all intensity after going 2-0 up, but I'm sure DF was just keen to manage the match and get the points on the board. Fair enough. Credit to DCL for trying to raise his team mates tempo in the last 20 minutes. Glad he got a goal.

Wolves fans sat next to me on the train are making up a relegation song to the tune of Brimful of Asha. Fair play. They are very relaxed about this afternoon's game. This troubles me greatly. #lufc

In anticipation of not getting to Billy's Bar as planned, here's my remote contribution to the pre-match chat @mrpaulrobinson.bsky.social @mrdavidnwood.bsky.social @johnnygiles.bsky.social I am guessing topics might include ticketing websites, Adorable, Ian Baird, and England's 1982 World Cup Squad

The joys of British infrastructure - trains running north from King's Cross disrupted, cue frantic scanning of alternatives... fingers crossed I get to Elland Road some time this afternoon... #lufc

Just over 9 years ago, me looking slightly trepidatious ahead of watching #lufc snatch a draw at St James's from the home end. Quite like the boy's nonchalance. Daughter 2 (in the Newcastle hat) is now 18 and is currently sat in our kitchen drinking vodka with her mates.

I would say 'hang it in the Louvre', but you might as well knock the Louvre down and start again after that. Art for art's sake. #lufc [pic credit to Getty Images courtesy BBC sport website]

On the positive side, Wolves can't catch us now. #lufc

You boy! Any idea when ticket arrangements for Wembley will be announced? @leedsunited.com #lufc
