Great stat
With Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Anton Stach and Noah Okafor on the scoresheet for the first time, this is the first time in Leeds United's history three players have all scored their first goals for the club in the same game. #lufc

Key take aways:
We held our own
Nmecha 🔥 and balls of steel
We need another striker
Tanaka looked largely ace but walked in oil at some point or needs new boots
Subs were 👌
Win is a win - roll on

Unpopular opinion, I like the shirt. Would prefer blue bulls but you can’t have everything. Unlikely to buy it as I’m an away kit gal given my propensity to spill everything all over me at the ripe old age of 42 🤣, but I like it all the same. #leedsunited #LUFC #MOT

Took my biggest boy to Belfast yesterday. Hell of a lot of Leeds fans across there. So much love for the shirt. Was like walking round with the chief himself. One bloke even hailed us from his 8th floor window. Lovely stuff. #LUFC #MoT #LeedsUnited

Proof positive of the successful indoctrination of the small one.
Made me this card on his first session at beavers. No idea what the brief was - potentially Father’s Day but taking the win. Husband supports Carlisle anyway 🤣🤣 #LUFC #LeedsUnited #MOT

This is so cool. Mass observation was a huge part of my final Uni module and was fascinating. Great thing to do.

For you dad! At least until the world stops going round. Yes I have channeled my inner Harry Gray and watched the match with the scarf on my head! #ALAW #MOT #LUFC #LeedsUnited

I wrote last week about my dad passing away a couple of days before promotion. I always used to say to him ‘at least until the world stops going round’ after ‘love you’ so last night the scarves got me. I wasn’t there. Today I met a fellow Leeds fan in the park who was there. Unusual given I live….

My dad lost his battle with his brain tumour on Saturday. Call me a selfish romantic but I like to think that was for him #LUFC #LeedsUnited #MOT

In Cumbria. In the queue in Carlisle Lidl wearing @thesquareball.net T Shirt. Spotted by fellow Leeds fan proudly sporting third kit. Turns out he’s from Miggy, lived up here a while. Knows a few Leeds fans up here. We’re everywhere! Apologies to @dan.thesquareball.net Aldi further away! #LUFF #MoT

What?? I’m no conspiracy theorist but very best case scenario guy needs to get to specsavers pronto!!! #LeedsUnited #LUFC #MoT
Hard to believe this, but the linesman who wrongly flagged Tanaka as offside is the same man who flagged against Leeds at Coventry and against Piroe vs Millwall. #lufc

Found this #ibelieveinbookfairies book outside my local library on Friday. Never heard of the scheme but what a fab idea. Anyway this book is phenomenal. I suspect I’m late to the party but it’s such an important, poignant story for our times. Laugh out loud funny in a couple of places too #booksky

Nostalgic bath time bangers courtesy of my 13/yo who’s found Brown via oasis. Taking me right back to y12 work experience walking from Leeds bus station to Thackray Medical museum. Storming up Beckett Street with the Walkman on like queen of the world! #nostalgia #music #memories

I’d forgotten how insufferable I am when we lose. So had my family. Fun times all round.

Trying not to do classic panic but I honestly said to my kid this am that, awesome as the last minute turnarounds against Sunderland and Shef U were, I think it’s disguised a sloppiness/ dip that has set in. I think it’s been the same since the 7-0 romp. I hope I’m wrong but today was awful.
