The Square Ball: Leeds United Podcast

This is part two of the pre-season pair of pods. This time it's all about looking forward: new owner, new mana... - sorry - coach, new players, new style of football. The lads chat about the Cellinos and their new pet, Dave. There's a run through of all the exciting new talent that we know nothing about, and it's predictions time for the 2014-15. Who'll score? Where will we finish? And when will Hockaday be fired - time, day or month? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It's part one of a pre-season double header. In this edition of the podcast the lads look back at a season that proved memorable for all the wrong reasons. They say farewell to lots of footballers - and Michael Brown. There's also chat about David Haigh's incarceration and the fact that Ken seems more willing to make YouTube videos instead of doing something useful like posting bail. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

As we haven't been on Sky's cameras enough during this pitiful season, it turns out somebody at Leeds United wanted a closer look at the club. Meanwhile, David Haigh has exited stage left as Massimo looks all set for a memorable end of season performance with the axe. And what of poor Brian and his Ronan Keating collection? On top of all this, there's some sound plumbing advice ahead of the final game of the season. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Where to begin? Late night phone calls. Ken's retro comeback. £35m. Michael Herpes Brown. Due diligence. Pughnock. Ian Thomas Moore and his trips to B&Q. Shit pubs. Tim Kerr QC. Blackpool's health crisis. Noel Hunt's wages. Snakes and witches. The Great Elland Road Sleepover. Massimo Cellino. It's been a crazy few weeks and it's all documented here in this mammoth sized Leeds United flavoured podcast. And this is BEFORE we get onto covert surveillance. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Recorded just before the Football League failed Cellino, the podcast reminisces on the Elland Road goal feasts against Bolton and Reading. There's a look back on David Haigh's successful career in the burger industry and property markets, as well a forensic examination of Mrs Jason Pearce's approach to contraception. Michael chuckles at the thought of Bournemouth going four up against the Whites, and there's definitely something fishy about Charlton. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The pod speaks to the YEP's Chief Football Writer, Phil Hay, about Cellino's as-yet-unapproved takeover. It isn't stopping Massimo, mind, as he's apparently brought in Connor Wickham and England keeper Jack Butland. The lads also reminisce about our finest ever custodian, Nigel Martyn. There's also talk of good old 'Arry, about hiring Elland Road, and the all-important role of percussion in football stadia. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Just when you thought it could get any more ridiculous, along comes Massimo. The pod attempts to dissect the takeover madness - some of it in real time. Under the microscope fall Cellino, Farnan, GFH, Luke Varney, and some of their daughters. In amongst all this, we'd almost forgotten we trounced the dog botherers, which was pleasant. It falls to none other than that great sage of our time, Neil Warnock, to have the final say on the matter and to make sense of it all. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Times are tough at Elland Road, but is there some light at the end of the takeover tunnel? The lads try and unpick the mess that involves GFH, David Haigh, the other lot, and our new Italian family. In the spotlight this time is the 3-4-3, and the latest DVD-producing performance from the Whites. Hopefully that won't be the case after the upcoming match against the dog botherers. It's just another typically quiet fortnight at the circus. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The boys are back after the winter break and it's time to assess the team's season so far. How would you score them? Especially if you get to choose your own scoring system. Xmas is under review and the Rochdale debacle is dissected. Little did we know what was in store the week after. More on that next time, but in this one we look forward to some exciting wing play from our new recruits and we sincerely hope Chris Kirkland isn't transported back to Vietnam. Hosted on Acast.

With the festive season rapidly hurtling towards Elland Road, the podcast gives you the chance to buy a gift for a Leeds United figure, past or present. Mirth aside, things are going pretty well, with victories coming thick and fast. There's a poverty-stricken South Yorkshire double on the horizon, as well as some awards in London. We've had to send Dexter back cos we broke him, but at least we get to keep Alex Mowatt. And what's to come in the takeover-fuelled January sales? Hosted on Acast.
