The Square Ball: Leeds United Podcast

In this extended podcast, the team pick over the rotten corpse of Leeds United's season - three games, three red cards, three defeats, four angry podcasters. Because the football has been so poor the discussion ventures instead into cultural imperialism and the delights of Lancastrian electricity. There's also a run through the club's accounts and predictions about who will inevitably get sent off in the final run-in. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

At least Warnock has sorted out the defence, eh? After the Forest horror show, the pod - missing a man - reflects on that and the other matches, including a great win at Millwall. The team remembers other humiliations in the history of the Whites. Plus there's the usual scattergun approach to predictions for the upcoming games against Watford, Reading and Derby.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Elland Road is awash with optimism and so is the pod - well most of it anyway. In light of recent performances and a great win at Middlesbrough, the team discuss the new broom effect. There's the usual preview of upcoming matches - including great positivity and hope - and a raft of nominees for the KBVOTF award.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Neil Warnock has arrived at Elland Road along with Danny Webber, but Andros Townsend's head is no longer with us, which casts a large shadow over proceedings. The team looks at the Redfearn era before having a chinwag with the Supporters Trust chairman, Gary Cooper, on the phone. Next up we have Hull and Southampton and the predictions are getting wild.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

It's all change at Elland Road as the pod examines Simon's sacking and his likely successor. There's also chatter about the Smiths, shirt numbers, sendings off and side show Zigic. Brighton, Coventry and Donny are on the way for R*dders and the Lazarus-like AOB. Sadly, there's discussion on that fictional hockey team franchise down the M1 and that makes Moscowhite really angry.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In this edition of the pod, Howson is history at Leeds United and there's substantial unrest on the terraces. The Yorkshire Evening Post's Leeds United reporter, Phil Hay joins the team to examine the recent goings on. A tough path lies ahead with games against Birmingham and Bristol, but thankfully Sonko and Dyche are always on hand to raise a smile.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Past and future are put under the microscope in pod 42. After United's traditional blip over the festive period the boys hope for a better 2012 and, Terry Henry aside, there's every hope that better fortunes lay ahead for the Whites. Looking back across the past 3 years, the team examines Simon Grayson's tenure. Looking ahead, there's sickly Palace and Ipswich on the horizon, but here in the present there's a worthy winner of the KBVOTF award. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

United have been in the giving mood in the run up to Christmas, unselfishly letting the likes of Watford and Reading take points from us. There's a jolly half term assessment of the club's progress and, while the team are happy that season ticket prices have been frozen, they'd prefer not to be coughing up for them in winter. And, with Derby, Barnsley and Burnley all coming up, will it be a bleak midwinter or will there be joy in our world? See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

After a three week hiatus the team returns with a specially extended podcast to remember Gary Speed. There's joy at three wins out of four, even if Andy O'Brien doesn't feel the same. There's some light chuckling at Huddersfield Believe Town and the price of international junior membership, plus a look ahead to Watford and Reading. Just don't mention Sean Dyche's voice...  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

After Paul Rachuka's meltdown aaginst Blackpool the team mulls over the pressures of playing for the Whites and wonders if our history is overbearing. There's rejoicing at Clayton's Leicester stunner and some posh boy baiting with Eddie Howe's Burnley lurking just over the western horizon. Beware - Barnsley are coming too. Plus there's more on street names and rogue building decorations... See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

It's Halloween so the team appropriately reflect on recent defensive horrors from Rachubka and O'Dea, and recall various grim memories from the past - think Carlton Palmer. With the team on the up and attendances on the way down is there cause for grave concern? Blackpool and Leicester are on the horizon and the team make bold predictions that will no doubt have hellish consequences.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

It's been a busy old week with the 'Who Owns Leeds United?' documentary on telly and the pod speaks to the programme's producer, Neil Morrow, to find out more about the show and hear his reaction to Ken's diatribe. Dan's hair comes under scrutiny, as well as the Portsmouth clean sheet, and there's a preview of more Leeds United on the telly versus Donny.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

With United shipping goals, or Leigh Bromby is at least, the team carry out an inquest into the shaky backline. There's reaction to Kilkenny's netbuster and the Bristol City game, as well as the hideous Scum game and the Leigh Bromby show at Brighton. Plus, a look ahead to the Portsmouth game, which had already happened by the time this made it to air. Sorry about that...  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

There's a musical feel to this edition of the pod - complete with actual singing - as the team talks football songs. There's a review of the Palace game, inluding El Principito's temper tantrum, and a look ahead to Bristol, the Scum and Brighton. Plus the star of the new Andrex commercial, Tom Lees.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

It's transfer deadline day and the pod attempts to capture some of the excitement with a lot of Sky Sports-style loud noises and hyperbole. It's au revoir to Max, and there's a look back at Hull, West Ham, Donny and Ipswich, and a fruity look at Dougie's Palace. Plus, there's all the usual high-brow chat about insomnia-inducing insects, experiments on the Turner twins and all-male barbecues. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
