Illan Meslier having a moment on his own on the Elland Road pitch before departing on a free transfer this summer.
A sad way for his time at the club to come to an end.

@BBCMOTD He done what was needed. He’s obviously ambitious. He deserves the chance to have money to spend and see where he can get us. This could be the beginning of a successful period, who knows
Gotta laugh at Spurs fans, still banging on about their penalty that didn’t happen. Obviously still shitting bricks at the thought of going down. I hope West Ham can pull the great escape off I really do
@BadNeighbourDNB Tell me you’ve never played football without telling me you’ve never played football.
If your opponent claims a penalty, you shout you got the ball.
@BadNeighbourDNB The defender claimed for a goal kick after this foul. Says it all. If he got the ball he would have shouted ‘corner’ knowing he has made contact with Maddison
🚨🎙️| Joe Cole on the Spurs vs Leeds United game and how Leeds got absolutely robbed to help Spurs escape relegation:
🗣️ “Listen, I’m trying to understand how football fans are supposed to trust this anymore because what we saw in that Spurs vs Leeds game was absolute theatre. You freeze the live image and Dominic Calvert-Lewin is CLEARLY onside. You can literally see daylight between him and the last defender. Then suddenly VAR pulls out this cartoon animation with lines drawn from places nobody can even explain properly and now he’s magically offside? Come on.
And the worst part is what happened after it. If DCL is onside and from the real broadcast angle he absolutely looks onside, then the entire phase continues and you’re talking about a blatant penalty on him by Destiny Udogie in the box. Udogie doesn’t get the ball, clips the man, stops him getting through, and somehow VAR completely wipes the whole thing away because of an offside call that looks manufactured from a computer model instead of reality.
This is the problem with modern officiating. The live image says one thing, the ‘3D model’ says another, and conveniently the decision ends up favouring Tottenham in a relegation battle. That’s what’s going to infuriate people. Because if this happens to Leeds or Everton, everyone says ‘unlucky’. But when it’s Spurs needing points to survive, suddenly we get forensic geometry and invisible body parts deciding football matches.
People keep saying ‘trust the process’, what process? Fans are watching a real image with their own eyes and then being told to ignore it because a cartoon graphic generated five seconds later says otherwise. Football’s becoming less about the game and more about who can manipulate freeze frames best.
If that’s given at the other end against Leeds, I guarantee nobody overturns it. No chance. That’s why supporters feel like the game is being controlled instead of officiated. Spurs got away with one massively today, and Leeds fans have every right to feel robbed.”
One of the biggest debates on the internet right now is if Luke Littler & Mo Farah race in a half marathon, but have to complete a leg of 501 after every mile - who would win?!

@leeds_utd_news He’s had 11 starts, 26 appearances in total. Over 1000mins of football with one goal. I know he was decent at Ipswich but he’s definitely not on it this year. Just think we can do better
Chelsea are now joint-bottom of the Premier League's form table over the last 10 games.
Both #CFC and Burnley have taken five points and won just once.
During this period Chelsea are the joint-lowest scorers (9) along with Wolves and Fulham. And only Burnley (22) have conceded more goals than Chelsea (20).
