Sixteen Seconds #LUFC vs West Brom at Elland Road, you say? That can only mean one thing: Pablo Hernandez. by @cmcmenamy.bsky.social

Sheffield United 1-3 #LUFC: This team Nights like this don’t come around very often at Leeds United. Only twice a week. by @robconlon.bsky.social

Someone tell Ethan Ampadu to rest up. He's still got a trophy to lift. #lufc

Aye? Nah.

Never in doubt. I swear.

Spineless refereeing, again.

Lorenzo Lucca: Big man, big ambitions The lanky striker learned a life lesson on Friday night, but was he right in what he did? by @cmcmenamy.bsky.social tmgitalia.net/posts/2025-02-22-lorenzo-lucca-big-man-big-ambitions

Jake Connor can’t tell anyone how or why he’s good at rugby. He’s a natural, just like Jimmy McNulty. Natural rug-by league. by @glosluke.bsky.social www.realclass.co.uk/detective-ja...

Joe Rodon is the calmest madman ever I would follow Joe Rodon into war by @cmcmenamy.bsky.social • #LUFC thesquareball.net/leeds-united/joe-rodon-is-the-calmest-madman-ever/

Detective Jake Connor belongs in Baltimore You've never seen Jake Connor and Jimmy McNulty in the same room, have you? by @glosluke.bsky.social www.realclass.co.uk/detective-ja...

#Sampdoria defender Alex Ferrari banned for a game after using a 'blasphemous phrase'. A similar situation happened with Lautaro Martinez, who was not banned due to a lack of audio proof.

Leeds United, you magnificent bastards.

If Dario Hubner is Pearl Jam, then Francesco Pio Esposito is Fontaines DC. We're saying strikers are back, but different. by @cmcmenamy.bsky.social tmgitalia.net/posts/2025-02-12-a-love-letter-to-strikers

A love letter to strikers The revival of the Bomber is 2025's big retro moment. We celebrate the lads who put bums on seats. by @cmcmenamy.bsky.social tmgitalia.net/posts/2025-02-12-a-love-letter-to-strikers

The only thing stopping Leeds from promotion is Leeds, and I think that’s the scary part. by @cmcmenamy.bsky.social • #LUFC thesquareball.net/leeds-united/enjoy-yourself/

Enjoy yourself This is fun, right? It’s fun and in no way scary, right? Right?! by @cmcmenamy.bsky.social • #LUFC thesquareball.net/leeds-united/enjoy-yourself/

Why am I surprised that the rest of the top four won? Have I learnt nothing?

Make Full-Backs Smoke Again! If rugby league is an anti-establishment, rebel sport, then Puig Aubert is its ultimate poster boy. by @robconlon.bsky.social www.realclass.co.uk/make-full-ba...

I really don't know how to behave when Leeds are this strong and confident. I was raised on a steady diet of Kevin Blackwell.

Searing analysis. We should do this every game. #lufc

Great goal. That ball by Piroe was perfect.

The cup has lost its sparkle in the eyes of clubs whose motivations are increasingly financial, but then how do you explain that to a kid seeing #LUFC for the first time? You don’t. by @cmcmenamy.bsky.social MATCH REPORT: thesquareball.net/leeds-united/leeds-united-0-2-millwall-bag-of-chips/

#LUFC 0-2 Millwall: Bag of chips As time ran out in Leeds’ 2-0 loss to Millwall, I wondered to myself what the kids attending their first game at Elland Road might remember of it in years to come. by @cmcmenamy.bsky.social thesquareball.net/leeds-united/leeds-united-0-2-millwall-bag-of-chips/

Lots of tragedy chanting from the Millwall away end. Scum.

Millwall chants currently being drowned out by Metallica's Enter Sandman

After @josimarfootball.bsky.social broke the story about their illegal gambling investors, it's probably time to ask: what's wrong with Sampdoria? tmgitalia.net/posts/2025-02-06-what%E2%80%99s-wrong-with-sampdoria

Wrote this on @tmgitalia.bsky.social and noted that Radrizzani's Samp takeover might have breached the Italian state’s Dignity Decree, which prohibits gambling companies investing in clubs. #lufc tmgitalia.net/posts/2025-02-06-what%E2%80%99s-wrong-with-sampdoria

What's wrong with Sampdoria? Almost two years on from relegation, the Blucerchiati seem no closer to a Serie A return, but why? by @cmcmenamy.bsky.social tmgitalia.net/posts/2025-02-06-what%E2%80%99s-wrong-with-sampdoria

Paddy Sloan was a Lurgan man playing abroad at a time when Milan may as well have been the far end of the earth. This is his story. tmgitalia.net/posts/2025-02-04-paddy-sloan-irish-football%E2%80%99s-trailblazer

Paddy Sloan: Irish football’s trailblazer Thirty years before we had Liam Brady at Juventus, there was a striker in Milan that everyone should know about. by @cmcmenamy.bsky.social tmgitalia.net/posts/2025-0...

Close.

WE WANT SEVEN!

Back on my Italian chat with @tmgitalia.bsky.social and this story about Paddy Sloan, the Lurgan man who scored in a 1949 Milan derby. tmgitalia.net/posts/2025-0...

I'd very much like Leeds to get over the predictably drab Jan transfer window with a result like Burnley's tomorrow night, thank you.

Let’s go up, actually A 7-0 win can work wonders for a fan's optimism. @wrjalmond.bsky.social is even starting to think #LUFC in the Premier League could be...fun?

Really excited to see good rugby league writing out there. Real Class looks really class!
