It's incredible to think that Spurs season was only saved by the inexplicable recent non performance of trophy winners and Champions League contenders Aston Villa in their game against each other.
Watching their celebrations after the game was worse than a embarrassment, surely their players should feel ashamed and not celebrate like they won a trophy.
In my mind they did win the imaginary trophy of shame and ridicule in the Premiership.

Very disappointed with that lacklustre unprofessional performance showing no respect to the traveling fans. How we can a dire team like spam, who were already doomed to relegation by half time, beat us that easy is shocking.
All eyes on the ins and outs now.
24 May 2026 22:50:51
It’s over and fantastic achievement to get 14th but glad we were safe a few games ago, was getting to bare bones with squad and showed today.
Very underwhelming performance and disappointing to get beat like that, put it down to end of season, being safe and injuries.
Time to build now, think with newly promoted teams, think they look weak and also feel Sunderland, Palace and a couple of other teams will struggle next season and up to 69ers to invest and sell a few.
I have nothing against BA, but he is s****, he was thru in first min and turned back instead of going towards goal, he can’t shoot, can’t take a free kick, can’t link play and falls over constantly, has to go imo?
Also sell Struijk, slow and out of position lots, cash in on him and upgrade, think Rodon and BJ very good, possibly bring in Diasi or Mavropanos.
Would definitely try swap deal with cash for Summerville, James and possibly Piroe.
Need a couple of forwards, wingers and CMF too, big summer ahead.

I know we are all disappointed by today's performance - never nice to lose a game, especially the last match of the season but when all is said and done, which one of us wouldn't have taken 14th at the start of this season?
Admittedly it got a bit too close for comfort a couple of times but all in all, it's been a really solid first year back in the prem.
Delighted for Daniel Farke - first time he's gone up and stayed up, and considering where we were at half time against Man City a few months ago, the man deserves all the praise he gets.
On to next season - it starts now, let's for once, get our transfer business done early!
Only a couple of our guys going to the World Cup so everyone else can enjoy the break and come back refreshed and ready to go (hopefully alongside a handful of quality newcomers) .
In the meantime guys, let's all sit back and enjoy England (and Scotland) , whilst watching the shenanigans of idiot boy Trump and arse-licking, money-grabbing Infantino, at the World Cup.
Enjoy your summer guys, no matter what you've got planned.
MOT guys. :)

Good post, Cleggy, on all your thoughts. I will say I thought the first half we were the best side, but we didn't create a clear-cut chance. West Ham were better than us in the second half, and deserved the win.
3 nil maybe harsh, and a bit of a disappointing end to a more than satisfactory season. Some food for thought for the powers that be, that we have some players in the squad who aren't good enough for the PL.

It's going to be an interesting summer, Feath, that's for sure.
If we can recruit as well as we did last year, then we'll be pretty decent from the off come August.
24 May 2026 18:20:35
I'm glad we didn't need that game, very disappointed.
On to next year, see you on the beach - get the wood gone asap.
Thanks
Mot.

I agree, White. Whilst they'll never admit it, they have not really applied themselves since "safety."
It was a lazy, arrogant [non] performance today, encapsulated by Amps, who had zero drive and / or ambition. Something these privileged players never get is that it costs exactly the same for the travelling fans, i.e., probably all their spare money and beyond, to watch that rubbish.
I expected a defeat, and was somewhat content with one, if only for some jeopardy on the final day, but I want the opponents to earn it with graft. Had Spurs lost, I am sure there would have been some Villa-like comments about our effort.
5
24 May 2026 18:55:04
Agreed, Ani. Lazy and arrogant performance by the team under Amps today.
And as for Amps player of the season? Nah.. not in my book.
And, as a Leeds captain, he is usually generally reasonably good, but there have been far better Leeds captains.

24 May 2026 19:01:20
Ani4ni, a very well put post. Fully agreed, mate.

24 May 2026 19:19:40
Amps never drives the yeah forward, it's a myth he does.

24 May 2026 19:39:29
How thoughts and comments change in one or two days.

It was either a tired performance or below par because a lot were missing Gabby, Stach, Okafor, etc.
Overall, they've given their absolute best over the season, and now most of them have an off season to rest, relax and avoid the overuse that most of them at the World Cup won't suffer.
Good luck to Okafor. I hope he has a lovely tournament, and to anyone else I missed.

24 May 2026 20:03:03
OP, no one wants a lesson in fan psychology now (as usually happens) . We are commenting on a turgid performance today against a urine poor Hammers.
So, don't get yourself all in a 2+8 now.
Just breathe and scroll past it. 🤣
Seez is done.

24 May 2026 20:20:39
Chris, I'm only commenting on the unjust comments on Ampadu, which everyone seems to want to blame for the loss today.
Amps was applauded for his award as our best player of the season, now suddenly he's s***.
I get the disappointment of the result today, we all are, but to trash our captain, who has been the main driving force over the season and is part of the reason we are still in the Premiership, is unfair.
Sorry, mate, but I just can't scroll past these kind of posts, it is totally unacceptable to me and more disappointing than the result today.
Having said that, I've said my peace and I'll move on.
3
24 May 2026 20:31:28
There you go now. Just move along.
I feel I can say this to you, as I hadn't commented on the Faux-award ceremony that took place. 🤣
End of day, it's just a harmless, worthless rant, and we all love on together, that's more important.
Good few of us now, at this stage, have a good few years under our belts on here collectively.
So let's keep it that way, pal.
2
24 May 2026 20:35:44
Typo.
Move on together.

24 May 2026 21:22:05
I get it. 😉
I'm especially racked off today because for my sins I was forced to spend the day with an Arsenal fan relative whose Premiership title wasn't enough for him and who was cheering every West Ham goal that was scored in hope of Spurs being relegated.
I was seething. I really hope, above any game next season, we beat Arsenal at ER.
Payback with great vengeance.
1
24 May 2026 21:32:35
🤣🤣🤣 See, every cloud may have that silver lining, pal.
At least we are done now, and hopefully we get a bit of quality in.
1
24 May 2026 22:36:03
OP, I've been consistent all season on my views on Ampadu. While I recognize he's a good player, he has a few shortcomings:
He can take an age to pass the ball, three or four touches sometimes. He also has a habit in the second half, if we are winning, of sitting so deep, almost as a fourth CB, and inviting pressure.
And lastly, he rarely drives the team forward like a CM captain should do.
Like I say, he's a good player, but don't expect £50 million offers for him.
2
24 May 2026 22:50:18
Excellent assessment of Ampadu, Corky.
He is one of our better players, a good player with some limitations.
He is defo way overrated by some, though.
2
24 May 2026 23:12:53
OP, to reemphasise my point, for most of the season, Amps has been key (imo) for setting the tempo of our play, and I believe the team follows his lead. When he's on it and pushing, the whole team does. Today, for whatever reason, he seemed uninterested, and, for whatever reason, so did the team. Even when we went one down, there was no urgency.
We have had a really good season, far better than anyone could have hoped for, and I think Amps has been pivotal in that.
Today he was poor, no one can argue otherwise (plenty others were also) . That was our worst away performance of 2026, by implication against a very poor team.
1
24 May 2026 23:47:15
Ampadu is no Declan Rice. Where we are today in our evolution, Ampadu is a good leader on the pitch and gives a pretty good account of himself.
Of course, he is limited in quality, like most of the players in our football team, but, at this moment in time, we are not a team that is challenging for Champions League football.
Relax, be happy that we are not Wolves, Burnley or West Ham, and look forward to a new season in the Premiership with new additions to our football team.
24 May 2026 17:57:20
Shockingly poor performance today.
5
24 May 2026 19:13:24
Not good today.
Two points to raise. West Ham had a good AM who could win the ball but also distribute it forward. He did a shift. The second is that we do need another striker. I like DCL, and both him and Nmecha are ok, but you need someone who will get you 15 goals from open play.
2
24 May 2026 20:48:10
Very apparent today, pal. There was aidway spell where we were so dominant, and yet couldn't connect up the dots up top.
And, as the adage goes, don't take your chances, then you regret it.
24 May 2026 17:42:59
I'm 71 but think I could put on a better display than Leeds are doing. 😡
7
24 May 2026 17:57:43
No, what I want to see just goes to show we need to sort this lot out. Very poor show. Thank God it's the end.
5
24 May 2026 18:12:29
Cjs, totally agree. Horrible performance, very little effort applied, glad I didn't pay out of my pocket to go watch that muck.
Safe home those who did. 🙏
6
24 May 2026 18:24:55
Absolutely dog doodoo, gutted to finish with that performance.
West Ham are a bad team, but we were far worse than them today.. Unacceptable. 😔
5
24 May 2026 18:28:26
Baz, mate, agreed. Cc agreed. What a poor performance.
3
24 May 2026 18:50:13
Missing key players today, but not a performance I recognise from this group, and travelling supporters deserved better.
Probably a blessing in disguise though, as it showed how short we are in terms of squad strength, and possibly 7:8 in today's squad may not, should not, be with us next season.
3
24 May 2026 20:09:08
We are short on depth. Who did we bring on as subs today? Buananotte, who's done nothing all season (including Chelsea) , Piroe and James, who are good at Championship level but can't bridge the gap to the PL, Bournauw, who is steady but is found out by the pace and intensity of the PL, and Willie G, who I like but doesn't fit into the way we currently set up.
It makes me compare it to rugby union squads. Those teams that do well are those that bring the impact players off the bench.
If the current injury scenario had hit us three months ago, we'd maybe be going down because we lack the depth of squad that's required in the Premier League.
3
24 May 2026 22:57:35
That was a good enough side to do a lot better, especially with the pressure on West Ham.
24 May 2026 08:53:21
So it’s the last day of the season, it’s been a terrific ride.
Life has life’d and it’s life’d hard.
This week we’ve been linked again with:
Gaby Sara
Jontathon David
Lois Openda
Demirovic
I mean put those lot in with DCL and Okafor, Farke’s gunna have some headache next season! 😂😂
I’d happily take 2 out of the 4, I have the feeling we might cash in on Nmecha and Piroe definitely goes.
4
24 May 2026 11:57:01
Yes, the last day of a fine season with plenty to build on for the next one. I have to say that personally I would prefer Spurs go down, but I want us to go out, despite the injuries, to get a positive result today. Thank you to Farke, his staff, the players, the board, and everyone else involved in what we have achieved. And, to the Owners, you have a great opportunity to take this Club onto bigger and better in the coming seasons.
Don't waste it! Finally, to fellow posters and fans, enjoy the summer, and the WC if you are interested in it, sink a good few beers in the sun while we will watch with interest as the playing personal takes shape for next season to make an even more successful LUFC. Cheers!

24 May 2026 13:17:07
Good post, Feath. It's been a bit hit and miss, but they all dug in and did us proud. And very happy how it finished. We must move on and up. No settling. Really think with astute purchases we could be knocking on Euro next year. As I said before. Euro seems to be up for grabs between about 10 teams outside the obvious few.
4
24 May 2026 14:27:57
Gaby Sara is an interesting potential signing. He definitely has a certain X factor.
4
24 May 2026 18:08:25
Spuds never going down.. after the Villa debacle vs Spuds 2 weeks ago.
And 50 points and 12th was definitely up for grabs for Leeds United.
So very disappointing today, with a very woeful result and performance by Farke and his team today.
5
24 May 2026 18:10:21
It's also a reminder that Leeds need to recruit much more quality, especially up front and creatively, in the summer window.
24 May 2026 06:19:13
Our Stella end to the season means no last day nerves thank flock. Would want to be spam or spud fan. Particularly spam.
Oh well. Let’s hope we have a corker last game. No tippy tappy. Heavy metal. Win, lose or draw. Give it some.
2
24 May 2026 09:33:36
Has the potential to be a great game. For Spam, only a win will do, and even that may not be enough, so they have no option but to come at us, and we all know we play better against teams who play like that.
Ideally, we win, Spuds beat Everton, Barcodes beat Fulham, and we finish 12th on 50 points - who'd have thought it a few months ago.
2
24 May 2026 11:58:05
A perfect ending, JR!
2
24 May 2026 12:21:25
I would take a 1-0 loss today if you could guarantee me spuds loose and went down. They sent us down a few years ago and I can't forget how they raped us for players on the cheap back in 2004.
1
24 May 2026 13:18:15
I'd rather Spuds and would take a loss too. Just not sure Everton up to it.
1
24 May 2026 14:31:34
I obviously want us to win today, but if Everton win, I'd actually be disappointed with a Leeds win, probably for the first time in my life, although I was a little annoyed when we beat Arsenal to hand Man U the title when I was a youngster.
