Marc Thayre @marcjulio.bsky.social · 10/10/2026If someone comes in and offers £80m then you sell and buy two £40m players. We are 5+ years away from regularly competing with top 5. 100
Marc Thayre @marcjulio.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Bellingham is a class above anything else we have. #eng 020
Marc Thayre @marcjulio.bsky.social · 20/09/20265 games in. 9pts and undefeated. Very happy with that. Frustrated we have to wait so long for the next one. Let’s get to 10 games with 18 pts. #lufc 030
Marc Thayre @marcjulio.bsky.social · 14/09/2026We need to enjoy this time because we are actually good. It’s a team we can really get behind. Of course there are frustrations but they are nothing compared to what we have seen in the past 25 years. Bring on Palace. #lufc 0120
Marc Thayre @marcjulio.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Yes, except Aaronson. Otherwise why are we spending £30m of precious SCR on a third choice winger and if not now then when do we bring Bahoya on. That said, great result. 010
Marc Thayre @marcjulio.bsky.social · 14/09/2026I understand taking Gabi off as he started season late and good to get Bard going. I don’t get Aaronson. 110
Marc Thayre @marcjulio.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Don’t want to complain when we are four up but don’t get these subs. #lufc 150
Marc Thayre @marcjulio.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Please please please see out the first 10 minutes of the second half. #lufc 030
Marc Thayre @marcjulio.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Delap and Strand Larson for £50m. We got DCL on a bleeding free. #lufc some incredible signings in this team. 030
Marc Thayre @marcjulio.bsky.social · 14/09/2026I love Justin but two nil up and five minutes to halftime time. Why is he so far forward. 000
Marc Thayre @marcjulio.bsky.social · 14/09/2026A bit of game management needed now. Have to learn from Wednesday. Calm it down, keep the structure. Get to Halftime #lufc however it seems we want three. 100
Marc Thayre @marcjulio.bsky.social · 14/09/2026It’s handball. It helps him control the ball and get away from Stach. His arm is away from his body. If it’s not in the area then it’s given. #lufc 020
Marc Thayre @marcjulio.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Always great to feel content looking at the table and realising you’ve played a game less than everyone. Two winnable games coming up. I’d be happy with 4 points. #lufc 010
Marc Thayre @marcjulio.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Whilst it’s nice to see the bigger teams get humbled I’d rather see three teams fully accept relegation early. #lufc 1140
Marc Thayre @marcjulio.bsky.social · 10/09/2026It was strange. At HT I was quite impressed. Good distribution and competent. But 2nd half had alarm bells. It was all wrong end of the ground for us and he was exposed but I thought he should have done better on 2 -3 goals and confidence seemed to drain. 030
Marc Thayre @marcjulio.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Ultimately they had too much attacking quality. In hindsight we should have recognised a win was possible and strengthened at start of 2nd half. It was there to be won. Penalty was soft and changed mood in the ground. Stadium had a lot of weed in the air - head banging this morning. #lufc 020
Marc Thayre @marcjulio.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Crazy match.Our 2nd string better than theres but they made earlier subs. Some defensive concerns but can't read too much in to it.Thought Bard started ok against a potentially tricky Estevao. Looked tired by the time Neto came on.Gk distributed well in 1st half but appears at fault for goals. #lufc 160
Reposted by Marc ThayreJon Crossland @joncrossfire.bsky.social · 10/09/2026My take on last night. Our fringe players were better than theirs for 50 mins. Then the Chelski billionaires came on and started playing. Somebody didn't react quick enough. And then our millionaires weren't as good as theirs. No need to throw the teddy's out of the cot #farkein #lufc 4163
Marc Thayre @marcjulio.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Fair to say we haven’t bought Bard for his attacking prowess. #lufc 010
Marc Thayre @marcjulio.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Depends how much Chelsea really want it. They don’t have Europe so maybe want to target this cup. If they rest a few and we are up for it then there isn’t a reason why we shouldn’t push them. Possibly penalties. 110
Marc Thayre @marcjulio.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Going tonight. Given we don’t play again until Monday I’d love to see a strong side out. No reason we can’t win this or take it to penalties. Chelsea may rest a few. Full of hope. #lufc 030
Marc Thayre @marcjulio.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Not develop as a player but to work out his role in this system which is different from his role at Fulham. 000
Marc Thayre @marcjulio.bsky.social · 05/09/2026I swear we will one day discover in BA's contract a minimum game clause. I think he might be protecting Wilson a bit and let him develop over the season. Fair question though. 121
Marc Thayre @marcjulio.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Disappointed that we only drew at Brighton shows how far we have come. Had the chances but by the end draw was a fair result. 5 pts from 3 tough games is a solid start. Fear no one. #lufc 020
Marc Thayre @marcjulio.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Fck me we’ve scored in Brighton. We’re going to win the league. Anything is possible. #lufc 030
Marc Thayre @marcjulio.bsky.social · 04/09/2026They could have 15 players out but it’s still Brighton away and we will find a way to lose. 120
Marc Thayre @marcjulio.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Hopefully someone will ask where the transfer window leaves our youth team. Lienau and Cresswell the latest to not be considered good enough. Will we ever see one break through? If not, what’s the vision for our youth set up. 000
Marc Thayre @marcjulio.bsky.social · 02/09/20263 wins from home to Palace, Cov, Ipswich and Fulham. A surprise win and plus a couple of draws. 14pts. #lufc 010
Marc Thayre @marcjulio.bsky.social · 02/09/20268.5 and on cusp of 9. Trafford and Tariq are class. Squad strengthened. I don’t know enough about Bahoya. He doesn’t seem to be in the same league as Okafor, Fofana or Toure. So perhaps a lot to drop on LW cover. is he better than Gnonto or Solomon? But trust recruitment team to have got it right. 000
Marc Thayre @marcjulio.bsky.social · 02/09/2026Why does an agent or club release the salary details in this way other than as a big FU. 000
Marc Thayre @marcjulio.bsky.social · 01/09/2026I want my wife to look at me the way Tanaka looks at Gnonto. I really wish the best for him. #lufc youtube.com/shorts/ynZGh...youtube.comHOOMMEETTOOWWNN 🪩🎤 #willygnonto #singer #leedsunitedYouTube video by Anton Stach 151

Marc Thayre @marcjulio.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Never heard of him until about 3 hours ago but he’s going to solve every issue we have. 🥳 Apparently he’s quick, that’s all I know. £30m sounds a lot. Long term successor to Okafor?? Let’s hope Farke likes him. #lufc 000
Marc Thayre @marcjulio.bsky.social · 01/09/2026This might mean Gnonto loan has fallen through. #lufc 140

Marc Thayre @marcjulio.bsky.social · 01/09/2026I look forward to seeing him for 200 minutes this season. 100
Marc Thayre @marcjulio.bsky.social · 01/09/2026I wonder if this allows Chelsea to report a £75m asset on their balance sheet. I presume Spurs agreed to anything just to get a one year loan and will return him. 210
Marc Thayre @marcjulio.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Hahaha £75m. We should use our remaining money buying Chelsea’s sale team. #lufc 030
Marc Thayre @marcjulio.bsky.social · 31/08/2026A LW.Okafor can’t manage 90 minutes and no obvious cover with Aaronson our best cover option. We can offer game time. 130
Marc Thayre @marcjulio.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Also we are seeking a very specific type of player. Good enough to come in and start but ultimately happy to sit on the bench. A player with quality but either cheap or on loan. Once you start putting in place more criteria the fewer the options. 010
