Leeds, That! - A Leeds United Fan Podcast

Trafford's hospital pass, Farke under fire and five without a win. Our Bournemouth 2-0 Leeds reaction, then Spurs at Elland Road.

In this episode we unpack a game where Leeds were on top for 22 of the first 31 minutes, had a Calvert-Lewin goal ruled out for handball, then handed Bournemouth the opener. Rocco defends Farke, the chat lets him have it, and Darragh says Farke does this every season and always finds a way.

Was the Forest win "a plaster over a bullet wound"? Should Stach move back into midfield? And does a back four work when Rodon's back?

Also: is Dan James back, Darragh won't hear a word against Bahoya, and the one that got away to Ipswich.

Spurs at Elland Road, 12:30 Saturday. We've all gone 2-1 - think you can beat us? Up the Whites.

Leeds 1-1 Man United reaction + Sunderland preview. A cracking day in Leeds with the Irish contingent, a Calvert-Lewin equaliser five minutes after Martinez went off, and a point that felt like two dropped.

We unpack 82% of our xG coming from set pieces, Rocco's "masterpiece at the back, children's drawing up front" horse, Trafford sweeping miles out of his box and why Calvert-Lewin is worth every penny.

Darragh makes the case to drop Okafor and Stach and bring back Bijol. Rocco isn't sure the shape allows it.

Plus: Man United's black jackets, Bruno in the ref's ear, Muharemovic's Raphinha spin, Jesse Marsch online again and a toast to Ampadu. Thanks to everyone who said hello in the Old Peacock.

Then Sunderland away: 19th, a Europe hangover and Poznan three days before. Get your predictions in and try to beat us. Up the Whites.

Leeds outplayed the champions for an hour at the Emirates, then Arsenal's bench came on. Arsenal 2-1 Leeds reaction and Man United preview.

Was the last half hour the 5-0 all over again? We argue it out: Farke's system and the marauding centre-backs, Gudmundsson's assist for James Justin, Tanaka toe to toe with Declan Rice, and Anton Stach's turnaround.

Trafford's fumble (0.66 xGOT, so a goal two times in three anyway) and the late Saka save nobody mentions. Should Bijol have started? And the subs again: Aaronson on at 71 minutes, just as every Leeds fan predicted.

International break round-up: Bahoya, DCL's England minutes and Dan James. Then Man United at Elland Road on Sunday 18 October: their worst league start since 1986-87, Martínez v Calvert-Lewin, and Leeds turn 107 that weekend.

One more ting: Man City guilty. Rocco wants them expelled. Darragh, who lectures in sports management, explains why it isn't that simple. Plus: would you take Haaland on loan?

Five games, five without defeat, and somehow it feels flat. Leeds ground out a goalless draw with Palace to stay unbeaten, but this was nothing like the Newcastle night. Two shots on target. A Palace goal chalked off by VAR on 53. And a manager who said his side were "a bit too slow in the head at times."

In this episode we unpack why Leeds were so blunt. Were Palace just well organised, or was this an off day? We get into Calvert-Lewin fed on scraps, Bogle's best game of the season, and Anton Stach looking nothing like last year. Plus the stat that reframes it: Leeds shaded the xG, 1.36 to 0.74.

We go through Farke's presser: the set piece gripe, the admission Leeds "didn't manage to keep the fire burning inside the stadium", and an unchanged XI for a third straight game. Then the internationals: Calvert-Lewin and Trafford in Tuchel's England squad, Bogle and Justin snubbed again, Stach in Klopp's 44-man Germany squad. Darragh asks if this break comes at the worst possible time.

Quick fire: Milner telling Scholes and Butt he'd never have joined Man United. Ampadu's long throw as a weapon. Arteta admitting Arsenal were in trouble "from the first throw-in" at Brighton. And we want you at the Man United game.

Then it's the Emirates on 10 October. Arsenal were taken apart 3-0 at Brighton and Saliba is out until November, but they haven't lost to Leeds in 16 meetings since 2003. Is there a way in? Up the Whites.
