#132: Phil Hay
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.

#131: Destroy 2,000 Years of Culture
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.

#130: Taco Bill
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 beckons. Hosted on Acast.

#129: Christa Ackroyd
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.

#128: I'm Her Real Dad
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.

#127: Silence of the Pigs
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.

#126: Woodlice In The Car Park
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 god, Tyler Roberts is ace, Kalvin Phillips is wonderful and we're 10 points the Premier League. What could possibly go wrong? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

#125: Plain Naan
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.

#124: Shaking The Last Drops
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.
