The Square Ball: Leeds United Podcast

Part 1 of 2. The first half of this end of season podcast is a retrospective of the 2012-13 season: where it went wrong - and where it went even wronger. Colin's departure and Brian's arrival fall under the microscope and the lads revisit their shoddy preseason predictions. Plus there's the released list and the latest instalment of Neil Warnock: Daffodil Cop. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This time the pod consumes all things equine - including the occasional donkey. Colin features heavily too, whether he's being self-serving, sexist or merely sarcastic. There's also idle chat about club legend Morison, cottage cheese, painting it white, Ryan Hall the draught excluder, Phil Collins and United Commercial Director Paul Bell's Twitter meltdown. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The pod speaks to Andy Pye about the casuals exhibition and book 'Wish You Were Here'. There's joy at the Spurs victory and the encouraging signs against Cardiff, but there's frustration at another hero departing for East Anglia and a fairly mediocre transfer window. And remember: you're not my REAL mum! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It's the second installment of the two-part girthcast and the lads predict doom against Spurs and Cardiff. The general state of things at LUFC is given the once over, as once again it's left to blind hope that things will get better. Finally, the KBVOTF goes to a very deserving winner. Happy days!

After a winter break the pod returns with a mammoth two-parter. New sound! New voiceover! Same old story at Leeds! Recorded just before that whole awkward Becchio thing, the lads look back across the last 12 games, highlights include Barnsley! Chelsea! Hull! They wonder where it's all gone wrong, if Colin's time is up and what on earth should be done with Michael Brown. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

With the takeover finally nearing its end, GHFC are taking control and the team is winning again. We've even loaned some players! A wave of optimism has swept through ER, but has it arrived in the pod yet? Can we muster up some joy with Ken still loitering? Of course January will be the acid test, but first in December we have the Dog Botherers and a dull child to contend with. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Take note - recorded just before the takeover! There's dodgy money being passed around, while the ball flies over everyone's head in a pointless period for the Whites. It's hard to see where a win is going to come from and in tribute to the season, the pod remembers other things that have started well and turned out badly for United. But what's that on the horizon...? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

With United hammered in the media, the pod examines the events at Sheffield Wednesday; songs, assaults, a bit of football - the lot. There's positive news too as Leeds take apart Southampton's reserves, but the rest has been pretty abject. Fear not though, because Sean Dyche and Eddie Howe return to say hello! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The international break is upon us, so it's time for the boys to take stock of the season so far. It's a general thumbs up as United's unbeaten streak continues. It's not so rosy for GFH Capital, who appear to have turned on the Supporters Trust - or have they? None of that really matters, though. As long as Portsmouth exist then we'll have an endless supply of new players. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

From bad to worse - United have endured some refs across the ages and paranoia rules the pod as the team recalls famous officiating crimes. The YEP's Phil Hay explains what's going on with the takeover, but there are still more questions than answers. But at least things are looking up on the field as Warnock's Whites handsomely turn over Forest and Everton. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
