For 3 years I have brought Marcelo his favourite tea and biscuits from Argentina 🇦🇷 & Chile 🇨🇱. I always left them on the door handle of his flat, knocked and left. Today he called at my house to say thank you and goodbye. It meant the world to me. Adios amigo 👋🏻

This tweet is approved by the Lorimer family who wanted to share Peter’s final moments at Elland Road after his funeral yesterday. May he Rest In Peace 🏴💙💛🤍

Of the many reasons to love Raphinha... he actually puts the ball inside the arc at a corner! That’ll never catch on

And it’s a wrap. 3-1 to La Celeste, same scoreline as his first competetive game at Leeds in fact - the famous demolition of Stoke
Loved my trip. Hope I haven’t bored anyone. I’ll sign off with this pic. Was so nice to see him back at it. Goodnight from Montevideo! 🇺🇾

A remarkable performance and result against the world champions in their own back yard.
Last 2 games:
Uruguay 2 - 0 Brazil
Argentina 0 - 2 Uruguay
Marcelo Bielsa - the master - he used to manage Leeds United you know.

Regardless of the rights & wrongs:
We loved the man unconditionally
We never celebrated promotion
We never enjoyed the PL first season
We won’t get to say goodbye
That’s why this hurts so much. He gave us so much but we never said thank you
Viva Bielsa 🇦🇷

There is no Leeds fan with a bigger love for Marcelo Bielsa than me. What he did for our club was truly remarkable. The bickering must end now & we shd look back fondly on his time with us. Well done everyone for surviving this torrid season. Onwards to the next. MOT

Would be perfect. Endless scouting trips to Elland Road to see all the US lads with obligatory visit to Costa in Wetherby 😃 Make it so 🙌🏻
The US National Team are the latest to show interest in appointing free agent Marcelo Bielsa as head coach. (via

Most of my mates don’t understand why I rage at modern football so much. Here it is. It’s also the reason I hugely admire Marcelo Bielsa. The modern game is utterly rancid & deplorable. In the middle of his competition Marcelo takes the time to give us his views 🫡 Great thread
Every football fan should spend 2 minutes watching this video.
Bielsa talking about the current state of football. Very poignant as we watch the worst European Championship of our generation

Re Archie Gray leaving Leeds
I don’t know the profit rules fully - I have better things to do. Aren’t they to stop clubs like Man City and Newcastle buying all the good players just for fun? Instead Leeds have to sell a home grown starlet just to exist?
F-ck that 🤬

This blows my mind - Marcelo Bielsa made Mr Radrizzani very wealthy. Turned his £45M into £400M (on paper). What followed shd have been serious investors and a stadium rebuild with AR President for life if he wanted. Instead of that he sacked him and, well, here we are 🤯

fan James was welcomed at the stadium by a number of Newell's fans whom he has befriended in recent years due to Bielsa's close links to both clubs.

As we prepare to face them on Sunday here’s the team sheet from the last time we played Tottenham at Elland Road signed for me by Mr Bielsa the next day after he had said goodbye to his players at Thorp Arch. What an almighty mess it’s been since then.

Very well done whoever assembled this montage. So, so moving. One could ‘almost’ forget what a giant he was on the rugby field after the direction life took him subsequently. A legend through it all right to the very end. RIP

So, Charity Shield aside, Leeds have played at Wembley (inc Cardiff) 4 times in my lifetime and never even scored a goal, let alone won. This HAS to change right??

My word, just read that it’s 20 years ago this week since England rugby’s finest hour. What a team, what a match and what a time to be a pilot on a SYD layover! The entire squad signed the print of our aircraft Sweet Chariot on board for me. Memories to grow old with 🏉👨🏼✈️✈️
