#98: Free Tickets To Nothing
Two victories in a week! We comprehensively smash Blackburn and GFH are finally shown the door. The lads wonder if the tide could be turning at Elland Road? According to fans favourite Bellusci, though, LUFC isn't a place for foreigners. What will the pod make of this claim and how will Marco's social media nightmare fare? There's also a preview for the Blackburn game. And the Blackburn game. And the game against Blackburn. Plus the Blackburn fixture. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

#97 (Part 2): Judge Judy
Part 2 of this mammoth 97th podcast sees the boys tackle the summer's outgoings and dissect the reaction to Charlie Taylor's impending departure. There's an update on David Haigh's fundraising efforts as he seeks to do... something. Of course, there's a return of the KBVOTF award and an unlikely big name winner, and next up is a visit from the league leaders and from Huddersfield. Hosted on Acast.

#97 (Part 1): Tell It To My Heart
We're sorry. We're ever so sorry. We just lost track of time. The boys sheepishly return after quite a long break from podcasting. Thankfully, all is well with the good ship Leeds United. Garry Monk is here and we have a new hero in Pablo Hernandez, but lord only knows what those eyes have seen. The season's underway and we have lots of new players to get excited about. What could possibly go wrong? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

#96: Barmy Steve's Sarnie Army
Last time out the pod was full of confident talk of a future under Rosler and Pearson. Naturally, they're gone, replaced by Steve Evans and, er, nobody. Meanwhile, Massimo's in hot water again and is ready to flounce off into the sunset, but who - and what - comes next? At least the team is back to winning ways as they prepare to face two Leeds United ex-Neils in the shape of Redfearn and Warnock. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Long Ball #1: Leeds Fans Utd

#95: Very Naughty Boy
The pod speaks to Adam Pope of BBC Radio Leeds to get his thoughts on his favourite things of the season so far, plus what it's like to work with Noel Whelan. Moscow ventures in the betting market, there's the case for selling Sam Byram and talk of Paul Green's dancing. The lads examine Ken's thoughts on the "immigration crisis", David Haigh's incarceration and how best to use Oldham's landfill sites. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

#94: Two Ton Tessie
The season is underway so the pod runs the rule over the new boys in the squad and comes up with an interesting theory about Sam Byram's form. Moscow's happiness plays yin to the yang of Jimmy Hasselbaink's fury while the deconstruction of Cuddly Ken's latest nonsense - endured by the pod so you don't have to - is a must-listen... for cows and dairy farmers alike, but perhaps not "the Arabs". Plus there's something resembling a preview of the games against Bristol City, Sheffield Wednesday and Derby County. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

#93: Wispy Wingers
The pod makes a triumphant return for the new season but rest assured that the same old nonsense is rife throughout. There's a reflection on preseason (the good bits, anyway) and a healthy dose of positivity about the new signings. The lads make their preseason predictions - with one outlandish forecast in particular - and there's a look ahead to the opening games of the season. Finally, there's a peek through the curtains to try and establish just who's in Eleonora's bed. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

#92: Cellino of the Year
The podcast returns to wrap up all the nonsense from last season. It thanks the scorned Redders and welcomes Uwe Rosler as the next watermelon, but will he last longer now Adam Pearson is in place and a sensible air has descended at Elland Road. For now. Moscowhite contemplates a new future supporting Club Atlético Belgrano next season, and the pod gets down to brass tacks and finds out who you named your Cellino of the Year. Hosted on Acast.

#91: Evil Men Have Beards
It's been another fortnight of unbridled chaos at Leeds United, and the pod does its best to make sense of the madness. It's not easy though, as Moscowhite has to come to terms with a Steve Morison goal. It looks like Massimo will be back driving the bus - probably straight through Andrew Umbers' Q&A with Phil Hay. And after complaints that the pod doesn't talk enough about football, the lads joyfully explore five defeats on the bounce in among chatter about facial hair. Hosted on Acast.
