    Leeds United at Croke Park! FA Cup QF Preview, DCL England Doubt & Gudmundsson World Cup Bound | Leeds, That! Podcast

    Leeds United are heading to Dublin's iconic Croke Park to face Manchester United this summer - and we discuss the incredible historical significance of this fixture for Irish and English football. Plus, we preview Sunday's huge FA Cup quarter-final against West Ham at the London Stadium as Leeds chase a first semi-final since 1987.

    Dominic Calvert-Lewin is rated doubtful with a hamstring complaint after his England recall, Gabriel Gudmundsson helped Sweden qualify for the World Cup in dramatic fashion, and we ask whether Spurs are heading for relegation after appointing Roberto De Zerbi as their third manager of the season.

    Rocco also tells us about watching Bielsa's murderball at Uruguay training and getting three iconic words from Marcelo himself. All that plus the 419-minute goal drought, team selection debates, and why we'd take the FA Cup over staying up.

    Leeds 0-0 Brentford: Found Out, Flat and Five Games Without a Goal | Leeds, That!

    Leeds drew 0-0 with Brentford in a frustrating goalless stalemate at Elland Road - a combined xG of just one, 64 shots without scoring, and five consecutive Premier League games without an open play goal. James, Rocco and Darragh break down why Leeds look predictable in the 3-5-2, whether Farke's "draws will do" approach is the right call, and which players need more minutes to unlock defences.

    Plus, Keith Andrews' Spygate hypocrisy exposed after Brentford's goalkeeper faked an injury for a tactical huddle, Mick Jones honoured at Elland Road, the relegation battle heats up after Spurs were hammered 3-0 by Forest, and why Leeds' remaining fixtures against four of the bottom five could be the key to survival.


    Also: Calvert-Lewin and Stach's international call-ups, the Christopher Loftus and Kevin Speight tribute, and Darragh's Irish trip to Leeds.

    "I Don't Know Ref, Has He?" | Leeds 0-0 Crystal Palace | Goodmansion Red Card, DCL Penalty Miss & Brentford Preview

    Leeds United put in a solid away performance at Selhurst Park but came away with a point after a controversial Gabriel Gudmundsson red card and a Dominic Calvert-Lewin penalty miss. Daragh and Rocco break down the lot.

    In this episode:

    • Bijol back in the team and absolutely dominant against Strand Larsen
    • Bogle dropped for Justin - the right call for an away day?
    • Aaronson: won us over but gone off the boil?
    • DCL penalty miss - just let Stach take them
    • The referee masterclass: booking Gudmundsson twice for nothing while Brennan Johnson walks free
    • Palace disallowed goal and Darlow's heroics from offside shots
    • Spurs in freefall and why we'd love to see them go down
    • Brentford preview: Saturday night under the lights at Elland Road
    • Pete Lowy's interview on Don't Go To Bed Just Yet - £20m already spent on the West Stand

    50 Minutes of Football in 106 Minutes | Farke's Red, Longstaff's Volley & The Road to Wembley

    James and Rocco are back after a break from the mic - and there's plenty to unpack. Leeds United have two back-to-back league defeats, Farke's red card and that brilliant press conference, Sunderland's masterclass in anti-football (50 minutes of actual play out of 106 allocated - the stats don't lie), the Ramadan booing controversy and the media's lazy take on it, plus that glorious FA Cup night against Norwich. Sean Longstaff, where did THAT volley come from?

    We look ahead to Crystal Palace away with Farke back on the touchline, the Brentford night game, and an FA Cup quarter-final trip to West Ham. The Opta supercomputer gives Leeds an 8% chance of going down - but does it know our history? Plus: Ampadu's wobble, Buonanotte's bench life, Archie Gray being the only Spur who cares, and Scubala taking Lincoln City to the top of League One.

    Dara's away this week so normal service is suspended. No order. No structure.

    Anton Stach Goal of the Season?! Villa 1-1 Reaction + Man City Preview | Leeds, That!

    Anton Stach scores a 35-yard free-kick stunner - his third of the season - but Tammy Abraham's 88th-minute equaliser denies Leeds all three points at Villa Park. We react to Aston Villa 1-1 Leeds United, discuss Karl Darlow's incredible triple save, Farke's counter-attacking masterclass with just 33% possession, and ask whether two points were dropped or one gained. Plus, we preview Saturday's huge clash against Man City at Elland Road (5:30pm, Sky Sports). City are on a five-game winning streak and chasing Arsenal for the title - but Leeds showed in the 3-2 reverse fixture they can compete. Can Elland Road under the lights make the difference? We discuss team news, Stach's fitness, the goalkeeper dilemma and how to stop Erling Haaland. Leeds sit 15th with 31 points, six clear of the drop zone, with a massive run of home games coming up. Marching On Together. 🎙️ Hosted by James, Darragh & Rocco

    43 Passes, 2 Assists, 1 Gruev - Leeds 3-1 Forest | Leeds, That! Podcast
    Leeds United bounce back from the Arsenal humiliation with a dominant 3-1 win over Nottingham Forest at Elland Road. James, Dara and Rocco react to Ilia Gruev's record-breaking two-assist masterclass, Farke's tactical homework targeting Forest's makeshift defence, DCL hitting double figures (and kicking Gruev in the face), Okafor ending his drought, Pizza Crouch's debut header, Buonanotte's squad omission, and Leeds moving level on points with a spiralling Spurs. Nine points clear of the drop. Friday night fortress intact.

    Leeds United 0-4 Arsenal | Transfer Deadline Day | Leeds vs Nottingham Forest Preview

    A bruising 4-0 home defeat to Arsenal and we're not holding back. Darragh climbed off his sick bed to deliver a passionate verdict on Daniel Farke's team selection — why was Gruev starting ahead of Longstaff against the best set-piece team in the country? Why Justin at centre-back instead of Bornauw? And why is 70 minutes always the magic number for subs? We debate whether Farke is reverting to old habits that could cost Leeds dearly. The silver lining? West Ham's spectacular collapse against Chelsea — 2-0 up at half-time, missed two more golden chances, and somehow lost 3-2 with Todibo sent off. Twitter was a wonderful place afterwards. We look ahead to Friday night's huge clash with Nottingham Forest at Elland Road. Neco Williams is banned after his heroic/idiotic handball on the line, but Sean Dyche has them well organised and unbeaten in four. Can Farke get the selection right this time? Plus - do we need a goalkeeper more than a striker? Harry Gray scores two belters for Rotherham, Erling Haaland gives the Leeds salute to Galatasaray fans (Dara's written him a song), and the worst foul throws in Premier League history. 🍺 Sponsor: Bass & Bligh, Harrogate's photographic & optics dealer — 10% off all used gear in February!

    Leeds United are building real momentum and this season suddenly feels very different.

Rocco is joined by The Athletic’s Isaac Johnson to break down Daniel Farke’s visible emotion on the touchline, the goalkeeper shake up with Karl Darlow coming in, and whether Illan Meslier has any future left at Leeds this season. We also dive deep into the January transfer window including:

    - Strand Larsen to Leeds - Mateo Buonanotte arrival - Centre back priorities - Harry Wilson summer links - Outgoings including Jack Harrison and Archie Gray’s loan - Brenden Aaronson’s remarkable turnaround - Why Leeds might not sign anyone else at all There’s honest debate about squad balance, PSR limits, striker profiles, and whether Leeds should gamble or trust what they have as survival looks more achievable by the week.
