Best half of the season. I salute you Herr Farke, and hope the timing of your subs gets as much air time as usual after that masterclass! MOT!
Love this review. Having written the book in a different style (and being about a terrible season!), it’s especially pleasing to hear it’s someone’s favourite! Thanks Eric, if you’re out there! 🤗 @PitchPublishing
The #lufc Call Yourself A Fan episode has dropped. A bit of Friday night viewing, if you like that sort of thing (Leeds winning in London? Yes please!)... youtu.be/Qkp8_BuwuM0?is=vz5P… via @YouTube
Nailed the JMB situation when he signed. Pretty predictable and no slight on anyone (except those who don’t value Farke’s outstanding record at developing players! 🤣)

@KLM I need help. Your case handling robots are an absolute shambles. The service is a disgrace to the airline. Your humans on the phone agree that I have been under-refunded but are powerless to overcome the flaws, sending me round in circles.
I disguised £625.72m of owner money as "sponsorship" in Sham Pain Super Nova before the commission caught me. City managed £830.69m. Evidence found: 7/10. Beat that: leedsthat.com/shampain @leedsthat so close!
Agreed! 💙🤍💛

What a privilege to witness the super Leeds machine purring again. Magnificent display from the lads, and the fans were even better 🔥 @leedsthat
Always gave his all and an integral part of El Loco’s Revolution. That means a lot more to me than a throw away comment from his mum! Best of luck Jackie boy 🫡
Was the tactical disasterclass brought on by the mentality issues or vice versa? How much was down to Argentinian spirit and Messi brilliance? Either way, it was Tuchel responsibility and by the end England were waiting to lose. Well done for getting to the cusp of glory? Nah

A couple of years ago Bielsa spoke about the intolerance VAR has brought to football, urging the public to ignore the media’s obsession with controversy. Sadly it’s gone the complete other way.

How beautiful to see an outpouring of Uruguayan love, admiration and respect for Bielsa following last nights final press conference as their manager.
He has withstood undue ridicule with absolute class throughout. A greater manager there may be, a greater man there is not.
