#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.

#123: Gumming On A Pringle
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.

Bonus: The Extra Ball #001
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 acast.com/privacy for more information.

#122: Punching A Few Kids
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.

#121: Lovely Day
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.
