Did we get there under Marsch briefly…? If not, it must be 24-25 years. #lufc14 Sep 2026 21:21 +0000at://did:plc:fenbcdbfuw2lnzdktypzasxd/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvj24mbc6227https://bsky.app/profile/eaststandupper.bsky.social/post/3mviywb2svc27Impressive stuff. Physical and combative, with threats from everywhere, not least the wing backs. Did become a bit like Hudds in the 2023/24 season… went 4-0 up and lost a bit of intensity, which stuffed up the clean sheet, but that was domination for an hour. Could/should have been 6 or 7. #lufc14 Sep 2026 21:00 +0000at://did:plc:fenbcdbfuw2lnzdktypzasxd/app.bsky.feed.post/3mviywb2svc27https://bsky.app/profile/eaststandupper.bsky.social/post/3mvivgm7hes2mGiven that to Bogle?

Have some of that. Was a bit worried about that 5-10 minute spell when Newcastle we’re pressing high and releasing runners, but we wrested back control and never let go. Tanaka, Stach, Bogle and Okafor the architects but DCL brilliant up top. That header was pure brutalism. #lufc14 Sep 2026 19:52 +0000at://did:plc:fenbcdbfuw2lnzdktypzasxd/app.bsky.feed.post/3mviv4vkzms2mhttps://bsky.app/profile/eaststandupper.bsky.social/post/3mvfxmiw6422wUtterly ridiculous that red card… makes Beckham vs Argentina look like GBH.13 Sep 2026 15:58 +0000at://did:plc:fenbcdbfuw2lnzdktypzasxd/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvfxmiw6422whttps://bsky.app/profile/eaststandupper.bsky.social/post/3mvfd76s7yc2dThis weekend’s results are showing that it’s going to be another dogfight to steer clear of relegation… talk of Europe is daft, imo. Our primary job is stay up and earn another summer of squad upgrades and get us to the West Stand rebuild. I don’t really care how we achieve it, either. #lufc13 Sep 2026 09:53 +0000at://did:plc:fenbcdbfuw2lnzdktypzasxd/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvfd76s7yc2dhttps://bsky.app/profile/eaststandupper.bsky.social/post/3mva47zn2ys2vOooooof... new M83 album coming out.

It wasn’t a full-strength team, no, but there aren’t too many mitigating factors when you ship 6… and we have a right to expect more from those CBs, Longstaff and Wilson. We also need to rethink this shape when we face top-quality 10s; been our undoing a few times since the switch. #lufc09 Sep 2026 21:13 +0000at://did:plc:fenbcdbfuw2lnzdktypzasxd/app.bsky.feed.post/3mv4he7bmz22thttps://bsky.app/profile/eaststandupper.bsky.social/post/3mv4fn7mbls2tWell, that’s one way to pop the over-confidence balloon... probably no bad thing to remind us of where we still are in the Premier League pecking order, but it’s hard not to be concerned by the holes in our defence. #lufc09 Sep 2026 20:43 +0000at://did:plc:fenbcdbfuw2lnzdktypzasxd/app.bsky.feed.post/3mv4fn7mbls2thttps://bsky.app/profile/eaststandupper.bsky.social/post/3mv4ephtifs2tFuck off is that enough for a penalty…. come on. #lufc09 Sep 2026 20:26 +0000at://did:plc:fenbcdbfuw2lnzdktypzasxd/app.bsky.feed.post/3mv4ephtifs2thttps://bsky.app/profile/eaststandupper.bsky.social/post/3mv4dmyio2c2tWell on top without creating a whole heap… the performances of Nmecha and Aaronson were almost self-parodying. But the back 3/5 and the CM pair took control from around 15 minutes and it looks very much like grizzled vets vs U21s.

We still lack a real CM ball carrier. But we’re still 4 points better off from these same fixtures last year… and that’s 2 tough away trips behind us now. #lufc [contains quote post or other embedded content]05 Sep 2026 16:18 +0000at://did:plc:fenbcdbfuw2lnzdktypzasxd/app.bsky.feed.post/3muruyd7nw22hhttps://bsky.app/profile/eaststandupper.bsky.social/post/3muru23mnj226Another good point… but mixed emotions. We should have been out of sight after a 50-odd minutes but we were so poor with the ball for the last half hour that only last-ditch defending and poor Brighton finishing kept us in the game. We have to be more ruthless in front of goal. #lufc05 Sep 2026 16:01 +0000at://did:plc:fenbcdbfuw2lnzdktypzasxd/app.bsky.feed.post/3muru23mnj226https://bsky.app/profile/eaststandupper.bsky.social/post/3murq5kbw4c26Slightly reminiscent of Man U at Old Trafford… we’ve dragged them into a MF scrap and we’re winning more of the 50-50s. Should really be more than 1-0 up, and we almost screwed up the goal, but there’ll definitely be space for Bahoya and James later on. Just need to stay focused. #lufc05 Sep 2026 14:52 +0000at://did:plc:fenbcdbfuw2lnzdktypzasxd/app.bsky.feed.post/3murq5kbw4c26https://bsky.app/profile/eaststandupper.bsky.social/post/3muoq5vtmc226Don Revie told a story about Leeds' reputation after he'd left. After a good England win, the Man City contingent were in the Wembley bath singing and laughing... until one of them said, "next up, Leeds at Elland Road" and they all went quiet. That's what "Brighton away" is doing to us now. #lufc04 Sep 2026 10:14 +0000at://did:plc:fenbcdbfuw2lnzdktypzasxd/app.bsky.feed.post/3muoq5vtmc226https://bsky.app/profile/eaststandupper.bsky.social/post/3mumpveozs22nI really need to stop popping back onto Twitter… #lufc03 Sep 2026 15:04 +0000at://did:plc:fenbcdbfuw2lnzdktypzasxd/app.bsky.feed.post/3mumpveozs22nhttps://bsky.app/profile/eaststandupper.bsky.social/post/3muklsakb3k25Is anyone still pretending we’re not dealing with actual Nazis here?
