  • Week 169 – June 6th – Gas bill jump

    Claire got an email today, regarding our gas bill which was a bit of a shock.

    Considering we used less than last year looking back at our records, which was impressive, as it was much colder this winter and we had been to the Maldives too last winter.

    The bill as doubled to £130 from £65.

    What I found crazy is the financial help is ending and we didn’t get any help on the gas bill, it was just the electric bill.

  • Week 169 – June 6th – Financial review 

    This morning I had a review with my financial advisor and market expert.

    Considering the last year, my portfolio hasn’t done too bad or too great either, but at least nothing crazy considering everything that is going on in the world.

    Hopefully the financial world is now settle after the banking issues earlier this year and the interest rates will start to have an impact in a positive way and we will see the markets grow.

    It still makes me wonder about some of the people I used to work with, who are renting and had no pension setup, how they will cope in later life or even now with every going up?

    As the weather was lovely and as you can see the excellent fuel economy we were getting from the car, we went to Haysden Country Park.

    Some pictures from the visit.

  • Week 168 – June 2nd – Sam Allardyce 

    Another unfortunate record for Leeds, as Sam Allardyce as left the club and takes the record for the shortest manager rein in the premiership.

    We actually now have 1st and 3rd place for shortest premiership manager reins, which is pretty poor, considering the few seasons we have been in the premiership.

    This in a season of record number of managers in the premiership.

  • Week 167 – May 28th – Leeds v Tottenham  Hotspur

    Leeds United 1  Tottenham Hotspur 4  HT 0-1

    Harrison (67)      Kane (2, 69), Porro (47), Lucas Moura (90’+5)

    Assists –

    Rutter (67)          Son Heung-min (2), Porro (69), Sarr (90’+5)

    Well the so called magic of Big Sam couldn’t save us from relegation. 

    Leeds United were relegated from the Premier League as they lost their final game of the season to Tottenham Hotspur.

    The Whites’ fans turned on both their team and the club’s owners as the West Yorkshire side’s three-year top-flight stay came to a meek and pitiful end at Elland Road.

    Needing to win to stand any chance of preserving their Premier League status, Leeds trailed inside the opening two minutes through Harry Kane’s excellent finish.

    Pedro Porro then doubled Tottenham’s lead when he fired in from a tight angle early in the second half.

    Jack Harrison made it 2-1 to give Leeds brief hope of pulling off an unlikely escape, but Kane’s 30th league goal of the season restored Spurs’ two-goal advantage.

    Lucas Moura marked his farewell appearance by scoring a fine solo goal in injury time, although Tottenham’s first top-flight win outside London since October was not enough to prevent them missing out on European qualification for the first time since they finished eighth in 2008-09.

    For Leeds, however, the damage is far worse. I couldn’t agree more.

    Overall I think we deserved to go down, we just couldn’t score and the form in April, we just leaked goal after goal and became the 1st team in premiership history to concede over 70 goals in consecutive seasons.

    I just hope it doesn’t take several seasons to get promoted after last time we were relegated from the premiership.

    League position 19th after 38 games – After 38 games last season, Leeds were 17th.
