Barco is a piece of work isn’t he? Looks like Bonnie Langford but not as tough. Good game. One of those where everything they hit went in. Could have been 6-6. Grow up Farke knockers. #lufc

A massive ‘well done’ to the 50-ish patriots who protested outside the Marriott Hotel in Portsmouth last night after spotting a number of brown people present at the venue. Just one small problem however - it was the Pakistan Under-19 Men’s Cricket Squad who are currently on tour and taking on our own Under-19 team in Arundel today. SUPPORT THE RNLI - rebrand.ly/imvl9mb

That's just six defeats in 34 games in all competitions for Leeds now. Only four teams in Europe's top-five leagues have lost fewer games since December. This is following six defeats in seven games in October/November. Impressive. #lufc
