I’m not sure my heart can take the drama of being a Leeds fan 🙈

But, we’re off to Wembley.

You whites. #ALAW

Two weeks and I’ll be on the same cream in Belfast. 😝

Came to Leeds to find the cream.

Touché.

Watching TOTP:1999 and the fashion sense is basically the same at the minute.

Anyway, if you want me, I’ll be in a dark room weeping quietly. With whisky.

I just don’t envisage having another manager at Leeds who could leave such a profound mark as El Loco.

Easily the best manager I’ll ever see lead the whites.

Captain Haddock looking very frazzled, saying, “What a week, huh?” Tintin leans into the frame and says, “Captain, it’s Wednesday.” Snowy aka Milou is very excited about the drink he has found.

Interesting study.

My Vizsla is very biddable and will do anything for food = Mercenary behaviour. Though he is still incredibly highly strung.

The German on the hand makes coffee nervous and only becomes user friendly after a good hour in the field.

A joyous day. Had mine out yesterday.

Game of the tournament. I’m exhausted from watching.

And given there was some fight/desire from England, the result is irrelevant.

Going to Paris for a decider would’ve been hard for any team.

Where was this fight 3 rounds ago ffs.

Some game so far for both in all fairness.
