Shallow, unimaginative and completely devoid of inspiration. It's why I need twitter. LUFC 💙🤍💛

America has all but abandoned its allies. Former NATO Sec. Gen. @AndersFoghR proposes a new democratic alliance, or D7, to fill the gap: https://t.co/PgY7xW0imG

@_billyreid Nah. Clearly it’s Larry Nance 👍

@BaileyKebab To be fair, they got Bournemouth and Burnley right 👍

The entitlement of the ‘big clubs’ and the attention they garner never ceases to amaze me.

When Manchester United found themselves floundering in the first half last night against #LUFC, shell-shocked by Noah Okafor’s double; they resorted to throwing themselves to the floor and begging the referee for handouts.

Cunha got a yellow for diving.

Fernandes’ got a yellow for non-stop begging and dissent..

Martinez got a red card for pulling Calvert-Lewin’s hair.

ManchesterUnited have every off-field benefit stacked in their favour against Leeds.

Revenue that is multiples of the Whites, ground capacity, training facilities, wage bill - it all dwarfs Leeds.

But they have to resort to cheating when things don’t go their way.

Under 10s know that diving is cheating, that you have to respect the referee and they also know that pulling someone’s hair is a red card.

So for their club-captain and manager to come out after the game and bemoan the referee - and for that to dominate the media narrative - rather than the brilliance of Leeds United and their tactics is a stunning display of entitlement and faux-injustice.

A tug on the hair is a red card.

Now can we talk about Leeds United’s history-making performance?

Wish people would get off Aaronson’s back. He’s twice the player he was last time we were in the prem and had a decent season last year. Gnonto and James haven’t exactly created a hatful if chances last 2 games. Worth a shot #lufc

@lufcstats I love your stats mate. Keep ‘em coming and try to ignore the haters 👍

[Matto @mattoilslick]

@STEPHENREDPATH2 We all thought we did a few weeks ago when we were banging in goals for fun

[Matto @mattoilslick]

Amazing how, as a Leeds fan, it’s possible to believe at the same time that (a) we have the best team in the league and (b) there is no way we are getting promoted #lufc

@LUFCDATA I think Dutchmen have scored 55% of our goals this season (excluding own goals). Now wondering what’s the highest percentage scored by a foreign country’s players over a season. Surely a question for you… love the site btw - awesome work 👏👍

[Matto @mattoilslick]

@ChanniPatel Or maybe the defence did a decent job here. They played him miles offside…

[Matto @mattoilslick]

@GrahamSmyth Is this your prediction for Southampton?

[Matto @mattoilslick]

@GrahamSmyth Pretty serious signing for a championship club 👍

[Matto @mattoilslick]

@futbolkc No, no he is not. Poor take, mate.

With my massive following of 55 I'm not sure this announcement is going to be a success, but it's worth a try. On Tuesday we start a 19 day charity cycle around England and Wales to raise funds for @PAPYRUS_Charity . We lost our son to suicide in 2013 at the age of 17.

@Bartoneli I’ve done it there last season and didn’t have to walk round.queue to the right before you get to the main part of the West stand 👍

@AlastairMoulton Coggeshall, in Essex, is beautiful this time of year. And you can usually rely on some interesting shenanigans in the local watering holes.

Irrelevant of the score this afternoon, I’m excited about this season. Got rid of the dross that didn’t give a monkeys, decent young team and a manager that’s already got us looking better and knows how to win this league. Is this optimism?? MOT #lufc

@CHIVS105 @ILoveSnooker_ @jaimelawson08 @Magician147 He only did it today mate 🙄
