    Now that’s what you call fuel economy?

    Shame it can’t be like that all the time.

  • 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.

    Ice cream time to end the visit to London.

    By the end of the day, I had completed 10,291 steps, so I think the ice cream fully deserved.

    Final pictures from the visit to Battersea and the walk along the River Thames.

    I hope you have enjoyed them, till next time. Stay safe and healthy.
