@thesquareball.net re the ongoing slag fries conversation - seemingly unassuming menu in Nancy, France with ‘cheesy as fuck’ fries #lufc
Tramlines in Sheffield, live here. Food q convo. Girl (blade): Don’t like your hat Me: You don’t have to! Girl: Everyone hates Leeds don’t they. Me: Part of our identity, it’s a bit like being famous Girl: Huh? Me: Doesn’t say Leeds anywhere on my hat, but you knew! End of conversation. #LUFC
News of today. Am now a @thesquareball.net ‘tattooedstress’ thanks to the rather magnificent @cowburned.bsky.social #LUFC
I did it dad. I’ve got both kids fully indoctrinated now. Both counting down and voluntarily watching the match. Hope you’re watching up there #LeedsUnited #LUFC #MoT
Took my biggest boy to Belfast yesterday. Hell of a lot of Leeds fans across there. So much love for the shirt. Was like walking round with the chief himself. One bloke even hailed us from his 8th floor window. Lovely stuff. #LUFC #MoT #LeedsUnited
Proof positive of the successful indoctrination of the small one. Made me this card on his first session at beavers. No idea what the brief was - potentially Father’s Day but taking the win. Husband supports Carlisle anyway 🤣🤣 #LUFC #LeedsUnited #MOT
Me and the kids said we needed somewhere to sit and think of/ remember and ‘talk’ to dad. Husband to the rescue 💛🤍💙 #MoT #LUFC #LeedsUnited
For you dad! At least until the world stops going round. Yes I have channeled my inner Harry Gray and watched the match with the scarf on my head! #ALAW #MOT #LUFC #LeedsUnited
In Derbyshire. We chatted about Leeds and dad and having heard the above he phoned his wife, gave me his address and insisted I collect his scarf on my way home. I protested but he said it meant more to me so I needed to have it. Leeds fans. Different breed! #LUFC #MOT #LeedsUnited
My dad lost his battle with his brain tumour on Saturday. Call me a selfish romantic but I like to think that was for him #LUFC #LeedsUnited #MOT
Found this #ibelieveinbookfairies book outside my local library on Friday. Never heard of the scheme but what a fab idea. Anyway this book is phenomenal. I suspect I’m late to the party but it’s such an important, poignant story for our times. Laugh out loud funny in a couple of places too #booksky
I miss club football! Dressing as a ‘ballstress’ today #leedunited #lufc #mot @thesquareball.net
Nostalgic bath time bangers courtesy of my 13/yo who’s found Brown via oasis. Taking me right back to y12 work experience walking from Leeds bus station to Thackray Medical museum. Storming up Beckett Street with the Walkman on like queen of the world! #nostalgia #music #memories
Thoughts and prayers for me watching this on the karate run in a leisure centre cafe in Sheffield 🤦🏻♀️
Well, this is quite an awkward car journey (husband is a Carlisle fan 😬) #LUFC #leedsunited #mot
Littlest love sulked cause I took the big one to the game Weds. Promised him a solo day today. He picked going on the bus to the ‘big library’ and sweets that turn your tongue blue. I can’t help but think the world would be a better place if we all appreciated it 5 y/o style. #family #qualitytime
