Leeds will never forget 😜 Some love being show for Marcelo Bielsa for his time in charge of Leeds United 🟡 @LUFC

Marcelo Bielsa in today's press conference for England v Uruguay: "Well, of course I want Leeds to stay in the Premier League, which is where they belong." Said his time at ER was 'one of the most beautiful memories that football gave me.' #lufc

@LUFCDATA Bravo fella you put that much better than I did. Couldn’t agree more.

Marcelo Bielsa transcended my experience of being a Leeds fan and how I think about football. No exaggeration. Will forever be grateful that such an icon graced our club and delivered priceless memories. The downside is the unlikelihood of enjoying a period like it ever again.

@henrywinter It wasn’t just the football at Leeds, it was his honesty, integrity and standards that he stood for…. #LUFC

Marcelo Bielsa is revered for many reasons. Perfectionism. Dedication. Style of football. Unpretentiousness. Murderball. Bielsa is revered because he’s true to himself, to his methods and to his principles… 1/2

My AWESOME spin instructor @LisaFathersBF played this tonight in Spin! Still sounds as fresh today as it did 47 years ago. Love everything about it the guitar, bass, drumming, punks, video… my all time favourite track by a country mile…

#PostOfficeScandal #ParmodKalia #StateSponsoredCrime The Quiet Dignity of Parmod Kalia (6th December 1958 –13th March, 2026) Parmod Kalia was a trained Banker. An Associate of the Institute of Bankers. Assistant Bank Manager. Treasurer of an International Charity. A man for whom every penny had to be accounted for. He chose the Orpington Post Office for the quiet life. Stable hours. Time with his wife and four children. The Horizon system repaid that modest ambition with a phantom shortfall of £22,202.01. Post Office Ltd told him he was "the only one." The National Federation of SubPostmasters — his supposed protector — told him to repay the money and fabricate a story. He borrowed £22,000 from his Mother's life savings. Post Office pocketed every penny. Then they prosecuted him anyway. 6 months in Prison. 14 years in hiding. 3 occasions where he nearly took his own life. A 17 year estrangement from his son Mahesh, who was just 17 when they took his father away. Children who grew up asking: "Dad, have you taken the money?" His own children. Asking if their father was a thief. Because the State told them he was. His conviction was finally quashed in May 2021. He should have spent his remaining years in peace, rebuilding what was stolen. Instead, the Post Office unleashed elite City law firms to fight tooth and claw over every penny piece of his Redress. They challenged causation. They delayed. They low-balled. They rejected his interim claim of £100,000 on "public interest grounds." Highly paid lawyers — billing more per hour than Parmod earned in a week — deployed forensic cruelty against a traumatised, terminally declining man whose only demand was that someone look him in the eye and say: 'we did this to you, and we are sorry'. He tragically died on March 13, 2026. Still fighting. Still waiting. Still uncompensated. Still dignified. The inhumane savages masquerading as lawyers who wage this war of attrition against Parmod, his family and hundreds like him will simply move on, adjust their cufflinks, sip their flat whites, and open the next file. Another victim. Another billable hour. This obscene tragedy simply cannot continue. The time is long overdue for the Prime Minister to intervene — to show some leadership, some backbone, and some basic human decency. These are not commercial disputes. These are traumatised victims of a State-sponsored crime. The lawyers instructed to handle their redress must be ordered — ordered — to show compassion, humanity, and urgency. Every day of delay is another day stolen. And as Parmod Kalia's demise has proved, the days run out. Rest now, Parmod. The truth outlived them all. The shame belongs to those who made you wait. @Keir_Starmer @darrenpjones @biztradegovuk @AGinsight @liambyrnemp @commonsBTC @RachelReevesMP @DavidDavisMP @kevinhollinrake @CastletonLee @Janetsk20073533 @SeemaMisra_OBE @edwardhenry1 @BBCEmmaSimpson @nickwallis @Karlfl @marksweney @hrw @Cyclefree2 @DanNeidle @SkyNewsAdele @BBCBreakfast @ElCShaikh @VarchasPatel @Pinsent_Masons @hmtreasury @HouseofCommons @premnsikka @TimBushLondon @UKHouseofLords @TjX50 @Malcolm22206844 @NFSP @postoffice @PostOfficeNews @NFSP_UK @voiceofthepm @NigelRailton

@rev_u2 At least that wouldn’t be square…I’ll get my coat

@stevelei Who knows what's next. Personally I'm hoping for the rectangle, the rhombus and the oblong tours.

Tyler and Jonny share their thoughts, hopes and fears about the upcoming year and new U2 album: on.soundcloud.com/nKzwLrHvAhD7YT…

@rev_u2 2/2 I’d love intimate but the laws of supply and demand mean, I think, that’s pretty unlikely apart obviously, from the ‘odd’ special gig ie new album promotion etc

@stevelei Was that me? I thought Tyler said that (happy to be wrong) but it's an interesting question: where to go to top the Sphere? Or should they reverse and go more intimate?

@rev_u2 You’re right I’ve just listened again it was Tyler…my mistake he’s lost his mind…this band will always be able to play stadiums, the back catalogue alone will ensure this… I was lucky enough to see the sphere shows and I can’t believe I’ll ever see anything better!

@rev_u2 I’m with Jonny on this… just don’t get the videos at all… ‘pretentious art’ at its best imho. Somehow I missed Linear first time round… don’t know how… but then NLOTH is probably my least favourite album…despite as Jonny said a fabulous live show.

Out now!!! It may be Christmas but can Linear raise the spirits of the two bespectacled boys? Listen to our full review of Anton Corbijn and U2's Linear now, available everywhere where great podcasts can be heard We hohohope you like it x
