The Square Ball: Leeds United Podcast

We've had Costa delivered but Pontus will be looking for his honey, honey with the Bees. We have a kit - but is it any good? - and finally we have some games! Sadly, we can't indulge in the romance of Trieste. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The 2019-2020 season is officially underway and the first signings have arrived. We've got a pair of Jacks - who look very familiar - as we await the arrival of more, including a large Costa. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Still no signings at Elland Road, but we've got a social media follow and that's what we're clinging onto for now, especially as it looks like Jack Clarke is off. There's more Irish trouble for Pat, but Gjanni is now officially a peacemaker. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In the absence of pretty much anything football-related to talk about, we're left with idle transfer gossip, shambolic accents and red hot supermarket chat. The centenary badge has gone up on the shop and we're thinking of inventive ways to take it down. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The close season continues but Leeds United does not sleep. We're being linked with all the wingers and the thought of so many wide men provokes some interesting tactical thoughts. Speaking of wide men, we mull over the prospect of seeing Steve Evans in Barry Douglas's wardrobe. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Rumours of Qatari investment bring uncertainty, but we know that Bielsa is staying for another season and another year of beauty awaits - and lots of running. Meanwhile, the EFL wants to suck the remaining joy of football with its new social media rules. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We're joined by the YEP's Chief Football Writer, Phil Hay, to discuss everything Leeds United: Qatar, transfers in and out, offering Bielsa a lift, those epic press conferences, and loads more. Who would Phil sell? Does he ever sleep? How did he take the playoff defeat personally? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The season's over but we're not done! Not with fingers to point and shade to throw in the general direction of Frank Lampard and his coterie. We ask: where did it all go wrong? What do we do now? Do we dismantle or build upon what we've got? And there's the biggest question of all: how much do we want Villa to win the playoff final so we can go to town on the Derby fans? Hosted on Acast.

You know what happened. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It's the playoff semi-final and the penalty that never was. And the VAR that doesn't exist. And the red cards that never were. And entirely routine things Frank Lampard claims he has never seen before in his extensive football career. Besides, we're only four-eighths of the way through the tie and a raucous Elland Road awaits Frank and whatever is left of our injury plagued squad, as Wembley becko...

The season came to a withering climax at Ipswich, but it's onwards to the playoffs and another meeting with Frank Lampard's Derby County. Hopes are (mostly) high on the podcast; everything will be fine as long as the FA's disciplinary panel leaves us alone. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It's anarchy at Elland Road as the season draws to a close. Attwell, Bamford, Grealish, Klich, Terry, Smith, Bielsa and Jansson! And somehow Berardi emerged as the voice of reason. It's Leeds United versus Aston Villa. And a strange sounding Chris Wilder. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

How do you follow an Easter weekend like the one presented to us by Leeds United? You swear, you lash out, you're even pettier than normal. But among all the pain there remains a ray of hope and optimism - from an unlikely source. To Villa! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Recorded, straight after the Wednesday victory, this podcast is an adrenaline fuelled celebration of all that is good and great about the club. Promotion inches closer, with goals - and misses - from Patrick Bamford, as Preston and the Owls are vanquished. Gjanni Alioski continues to be gloriously weird, but not as weird as the idea that Neil Harris might just be a Leeds United hero. Pablo is a go...

We got Monked, but now we're relying on Garry (with two Rs) to do us a favour against the Blades. We hope Pat Bamford will find his shooting boots for Preston (spoiler alert: he does) and we're joined by a Leeds fan whose childhood was ruined. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It's been a glorious weekend as United move back into the top two, Neil Harris's Millwall were sent swimming away and a perplexed Colin stood silently staring, his hands on his head. Oh and Pablo Hernandez. Just Pablo Hernandez. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this episode we demonstrate our extensive geographical knowledge. Or is it a load of Balkans? Gjanni has been upsetting people and staying onside, while BPF has risen, stony faced, to save the hopes of Northern Ireland and Leeds fans alike. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The first episode of The Extra Ball goes right back to the start, examining the strange Batesian universe we occupied when The Square Ball podcast launched in 2010. We’d just won at Old Trafford and were confidently predicting an easy cruise to promotion. Ahem. We've the inaugural round of Leeds United: Soccer Supremo and the first of your questions about the Mighty Whites. Hosted on Acast. See ac...

Tough times abound heading into the international break, following defeat to the Blades, but we're in a bullish mood as we face down the last eight hateful games. Or is it eleven? Meanwhile, we've said farewell to United's finest raconteur, Bill Fotherby. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

With Bristol suitably processed at the weekend, Lee Johnson seems to have more chips than a potato. The terrifying prospect of promotion looms large, with Lewis Baker's Reading and Simon Tracey's Blades before us. But remember: please stay off the pitch! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Has the glorious demolition of WBA injected new optimism into the podcast as we head to Bristol? Either way, Gjanni Alioski keeps on being Gjanni Alioski and our lives are more entertaining as a result. Join us and Victor on a stroll across Holbeck Moor to ER! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Another win was secured against Bolton with a precision finish from Gjanni Alioski, but not before we'd seen a couple of squabbles; one involving Prince Pat and the other Pauper Phil. Our pedigree will face a tough test against QPR and WBA. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Shaun Harvey is slithering out of the EFL, but not before he's fined us £200,000 for doing a spot of light gardening. Meanwhile, the Peacocks defeated DJ's Swans and face an entirely different beast at the weekend as the Trotters are in town. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The season enters its final third and there's a lot at stake: the Daniel James Shield, points against Swansea and a place in the Premier League. But do we actually want it? Shaun Harvey can't make up his mind either, but Kalvin keeps us smiling. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
