Proud to be addicted to the one and only Leeds United. The one addiction where there is no rehab. Proud to be a legacy fan.

What a game and @BumbleCricket will have had to start his car a lot earlier than usual 😊 YORKSHIRE YORKSHIRE

[Jonathan Doidge @JonathanDoidge]

Welcome from Headingley where @BumbleCricket and I are doing both games for the BBC Sport website and app and the men’s match on BBC Radio Leeds all frequencies, with @KH_BBCLeeds both presenting and trying to ensure that the only Roses clash remains on the field… #bbccricket

9 years ago, on London Bridge, 8 were killed and 48 injured. Unarmed, Roy Larner faced the attackers head-on, saving countless lives. His heroism will never be forgotten. #London #Hero #TheLionOfLondonBridge

Lad from Denmark sat next to us today, paid £71 for his ticket and couldn’t understand why the away fans made more noise than the home fans.

Deluded self centred politician who lives in a world where if anyone disagrees with his ideology they are branded something worse than the devil. He claims to believe in democracy but spouts the dangerous opposite.

[Lee Harris @LeeHarris]

I despise Sadiq Khan. He's destroying London and instead of listening to the concerns of ordinary Brits, he calls them "far-right".

No good faith debate.
No self-awareness.
No empathy.

Just nasty, low IQ, lazy name calling.

The man is a disgrace.

Southampton Fans, don’t throw away those binoculars just yet, you’ll need them to see the action from the away end at West Ham next season!

[Andrew Butterwick @MOTForever]

Classic “one game too many” on a baking hot day with the squad down to bare bones.

[Graham Smyth @GrahamSmyth]

FT West Ham 3-0 Leeds United

Even with the injury situation that was as sleepy and sloppy a Leeds performance as we've seen for a long time. No one in the away end seems to mind particularly. 14th beats the hell out of 18th.

Last game of the season away at West Ham. Early start with the Garforth Whites. Like to be there with plenty of time to spare! Bring it on. #lufc MOT

Pep Guardiola is one of only two managers in English top-flight history to manage in 10 seasons and finish in the top-four each season.

The other? Don Revie with Leeds United between 1964-65 and 1973-74. #lufc

[Andrew Butterwick @MOTForever]

Went there last week for the Spurs game. Decent number of Leeds fans there. It was 5 mins from our Hotel in Qawra.

[Elvs @elv93165]

@pmak27 The Craftsman Tap they have a FB page we messaged the owner on there. Lots of Leeds Fans

[Andrew Butterwick @MOTForever]

That’s a very good summing up of their situation. As an away fan the best description of the away end I heard was “If you’re in the top tier the centre circle is in a different post code to the away end”

[Henry Winter @henrywinter]

Karren Brady’s promise of “a world-class team in a world-class stadium” rings even more hollow now. West Ham United should never have moved to a soulless public athletics track. Great move for the board but not for the fans. Leaving Upton Park made sense for commercial reasons but not sporting/atmosphere.

Daniel Levy was right. The Olympic Stadium should have been knocked down and a proper football stadium built there. It is a good site. But the Olympic lobby and politicians got all protective and precious about the 2012 legacy. How often does this country need a huge athletics arena anyway?

Yes, West Ham won a European trophy since they’ve left Upton Park. But London Stadium was always a problem, always a passion-killer, fans distant from the ones they love, the players, and limited potential for increased revenue streams.

Other reasons behind club’s demise. Lack of leadership in the boardroom. Recruitment an issue, too. What a mess. Record losses, fears over future of Fernandes, Summerville and Nuno, intensified protests against chairman Sullivan.  

Relegation likely. Two points adrift of safety following 3-1 defeat to Newcastle. Wretched goal difference (-22) compared to Spurs’ (-9). Spurs need only a point from Chelsea away (hard) or David Moyes’ Everton at home to guarantee survival and condemn West Ham. Can Moyes do West Ham a favour? The club who let him go. West Ham need to beat ex-Spur Joe Rodon and Leeds at home anyway.

West Ham look doomed to the drop. They will return but need better ownership. And many of their fans have been warning of this perfect storm for some time. #WHUFC

Not until next season’s fixtures are issued 😊

The gap between the Prem and the championship is huge. Were you ready for the PL? You can now build on this year’s experience and come back stronger?

[Danny Baker @prodnose]

Back from The Den. A fantastic season ends with an absolute whimper. Our lack of any real strikers and bizarre substitutions at 0-0 cost us badly.
After finishing 3rd - we choked, badly. That's the be all and end all of it.
Still, a good season that will be remembered for years.

[Andrew Butterwick @MOTForever]

Spot on. Learn to win and lose with dignity but aspire to win all the time. Vital life skills.

[Michelle Dewberry @MichelleDewbs]

My 5 year old boy does football training. At the end of the session they do a ‘man of the match’ type thing.

My boy is always desperate to win it. He often doesn’t.

I explained to him the other day that he didn’t win simply because he wasn’t good enough. That he deffo could win, but he just needs to be better, try harder, be more focused etc.

One of the other mums heard me & was aghast at what I said. She told me she is going to get ‘runner-up stickers’ for all the kids who don’t make it.

I said no thanks, not for my son.

Kids need to learn that they can be the best, but they must apply themselves & dust themselves off when it doesn’t go their way. No consolation prizes, no ‘everyone’s a winner’ etc. There are winners & losers. Wanna win - do your best. Can’t make it? Don’t worry, go & smash something else. Play to your strengths & never, ever play the victim.

If more parents & institutions had this attitude, the country would be in a better place - if I say so myself 😉

This close to a point lads 🤏🏼

@lufcstats I won’t be convinced we’re stopping up until I see them!

Congratulations Leeds United on another season secured in the Premier League. #LUFC

[Andrew Butterwick @MOTForever]

Sorry for singing “2nd again ole ole” at the Emirates earlier in the season. Now just don’t let them anywhere your goal or I could have a heart attack
