Leeds United Football Club has indeed fallen apart again, it has emerged.

The Yorkshire club bottled its play-off semi-final against Derby County, turning a 2-0 aggregate lead into a 3-4 defeat that saw Frank Lampard’s Rams heading for Wembley instead.

Football fans everywhere remind Leeds of its wobbly nature by singing: “Leeds are falling apart again”, to the tune of Joy Division’s Love Will Tear Us Apart Again, at every opportunity.

And tonight, football fan Lorraine Fisher, 34, said: “I was watching the play-off game at Elland Road and it was true that Leeds really did fall apart again.

“It’s such a terrible shame because it’s such a love, friendly little club.”

Football fans up and down the country are already looking forward to next season when Leeds will no doubt be up the top of the league for most of the year before falling yet again at the last hurdle.

Meanwhile, Derby go on to play Aston Villa in the play-off final at Wembley.
