Leeds fan, sci-fi geek, all things tech, politics nerd, Radiohead super fan. The usual.
It’s not the actors fault though. I don’t think anybody who had anything to do with making that film cared about it in the slightest. It’s so bad that Sony ended up trying to pretend it *wasn’t* a Spider-Man film.

I cannot stress enough how much you do not want to persist with this film. It does *not* get better.

For the record, I always thought it was dumb to let him go. If we were paying him off anyway then surely there was a place for him in the squad this season?

The irony is if we hadn’t been the ones who let him go, he’d be exactly the kind of the player we’d be looking to sign in January.

Plus they have two extra days rest for this one, which honestly I think is abysmal from the league/Sky.

How big are these helicopters?!?

Going to be some unbelievable highway improvements to get 50,000 in and out of Elland Road on a matchday.

Oh well, seems I was wrong anyway. Turns out all Leeds needed to do was bung the council some money for ‘highway improvements’ and all the transport issues have magically disappeared!

And honestly, if the recruitment is supposedly going all in on the Red Bull stuff but then buys Roca and Sinisterra and expects them to do high-intensity tackle-ball in the Prem for a whole season… what did they expect? And having no proper backup for Adams was criminal.

The basic principles have a utility to them, but we didn’t have the players and Jesse’s version was too extreme and he didn’t demonstrate the flexibility to make it work in the Premier League. Plus I think he’s just not a very good coach and never bothered to build a good team around him.

I completely understand. Even though I was joking, it still felt dirty to say it.

Irony is he’d probably be half-decent in the current team. He scores a lot of goals from late runs into the box and from corners.

Caveat: if he’s fit.

*although Repertoire by James Acaster is phenomenal.

I take it back. Mateta is rubbish. DCL 4 life.
