James, Darragh and Rocco are back for a summer catch-up - and despite "nothing happening," there's plenty to chew over. We kick off with the new Adidas 26/27 away kit (Rocco's not sold on the navy shorts), the historic trefoil logo and Leeds moving up Adidas' premium tier, before getting stuck into Paraag Marathe's annual address and what it tells us about how the 49ers are running the club.
Then the big one: Ethan Ampadu's new four-year deal, no relegation clause, and why locking down the captain so early is the biggest statement Leeds could make this summer. The boys debate Farke's future, the transfer targets doing the rounds (Diomande, Harry Wilson and the never-ending goalkeeper search), who's likely to leave, and whether Gnonto could be another one that gets away.
Plus: Rocco's off to Mexico for Uruguay v Spain at the World Cup, a genius (or daft?) idea for fixing extra time, why Karl Darlow might just be the answer in goal, and a lovely Rafinha tribute to Liam Cooper to finish.

James, Darragh and Rocco look back on Leeds United's first season back in the Premier League with the end of season awards. After finishing 14th on 47 points, eight clear of the drop, with an FA Cup semi-final run and a first league win at Old Trafford since 1981, Daniel Farke's side delivered a season nobody outside Elland Road saw coming.
The lads hand out awards across eight categories - best match, team performance, individual performance, goal of the season, signing of the season, season low, surprise hero and player of the year - with plenty of disagreement along the way. Plus a tribute to Illan Meslier, shoutouts to the players who didn't make the shortlists, and a teaser of the summer transfer chat to come.

We discuss Elland Road for the final home game of the season, and what a way to sign off - a 95th-minute winner from Dominic Calvert-Lewin to beat Brighton 1-0 and extend Leeds United's unbeaten Premier League run to eight matches, the longest top-flight unbeaten streak since 2001.
In this episode we unpack a remarkable afternoon at Elland Road: the carnival atmosphere, the defensive masterclass from Bijol, Rodon and Sebastiaan Bornauw, Karl Darlow's case for cult hero status, and Calvert-Lewin's instinctive pounce on Jan Paul van Hecke's error to ignite the stadium. Going into the final day, only five teams have lost fewer Premier League matches than Leeds this season - Arsenal, Man City, Man United, Bournemouth and Aston Villa. Eleven sides below us have lost more. Time to reframe what this season actually was.
We get into Daniel Farke's extraordinary pre-match press conference where the German declared his "mission fulfilled" and "job done" - and why those headlines aren't what they look like. Plus the Wilfried Gnonto to Freiburg story, whether Leeds have actually let him down (spoiler: no), and Darragh floats a smart loan-without-obligation idea that could suit everybody.
Joe Rodon, Ethan Ampadu and the players who've built this thing from the ground up. Brendan Aaronson's development. The Sean Longstaff debate that won't die. Dominic Calvert-Lewin's England chances heading into the World Cup. David O'Leary's frustrating Overlap interview. And the disgusting Luke Ayling incident at Southampton.
Then we look ahead to the final day at the London Stadium where West Ham could already be relegated by the time Leeds kick off. Up the Whites.

The job is done. Leeds United's Premier League survival is mathematically confirmed and Rocco is joined by Isaac Johnson (Leeds Live) to reflect on a remarkable few weeks for the Whites.
From the historic win at Old Trafford to the FA Cup quarter-final shootout drama at West Ham, the cup semi-final disappointment at Wembley, the 1-1 with Tottenham in north London, and what survival actually means for the 49ers' long-term project. Isaac shares insight on Daniel Farke's tactical evolution, the formation question for next season, and his thoughts on whether the manager's contract will be extended.
Plus contract talks for Ethan Ampadu, Pascal Struijk and Karl Darlow, what the 49ers learned from last summer's window, the unsung heroes of the campaign including Ilia Gruev, Lukas Nmecha and the bargain that is James Justin, Georginio Rutter's Elland Road return, and Rocco's brand new book on the 92-93 title defence.

James, Rocco and Darragha are back after a beautiful Friday night at Elland Road as Leeds United beat Burnley 3-1 to move up to 14th and on to 43 points - the kind of total that's never seen a Premier League side relegated. Anton Stach opened the scoring with a stunning left-footed strike from outside the box (his fourth goal from range this season), Dominic Calvert-Lewin's outrageous back-heel set up Noah Okafor for a glorious Bogle assist, and DCL bundled in his 13th of the season to put the game beyond Mike Jackson's interim Burnley side.
We break down the perfect Stach goal in slow motion, debate whether Calvert-Lewin is now Rocco's favourite striker since Tony Yeboah, and reflect on the form run since the Manchester City defeat - 12 points from 21, including the win at Old Trafford and the Wembley FA Cup semi-final alongside it. There's full appreciation of Daniel Farke's elite-level Premier League management, a debate about the referee, and a look at how Leeds have quietly become one of the best-organised sides in the league.
Then it's on to Tottenham away on Monday 11th May, with the small matter of Spurs being in the relegation zone, on their third manager of the season under Roberto De Zerbi, and missing roughly half their squad to injury (Simons, Solanke, Kudus, Odobert, Kulusevski, Romero, Vicario, Maddison and more). Plus: the man who lost his watch in the stand, Michael Jackson on the tannoy at full-time, Dara's surprise summer transfer pick to bring back to Elland Road, and why this Leeds squad genuinely wants to be here.

James and Rocco react to Leeds United's 1-0 FA Cup semi-final defeat to Chelsea at Wembley, and look ahead to the must-win Premier League clash with already-relegated Burnley on Friday night.
Chelsea were there for the taking. A side in crisis, manager sacked four days earlier, no goals for weeks. And yet Leeds froze. We get into Aaronson's huge early miss, Pascal Struijk's costly error, the midfield battle Steven Gerrard called "outclassed," Robert Sanchez's blatant tactical timeout, Ampadu's brilliant reaction, and why Daniel Farke chose to take the high road afterwards.
Plus all the colour from the day itself: the drive down with a garden centre charge stop, Rocco's dad picking up a gilet on Wembley Way, meeting Andrew Bagchi and his son, a shoutout to Sam Cheang who flew in from Singapore, and Malcolm Sunley's stunning Don McCullin-esque photograph of Elland Road sent in to Bass & Bligh.
Marching On Together.

First back-to-back league wins of the season and the sun was out at Elland Road. James, Rocco and Darragh react to Leeds 3-0 Wolves, including James Justin's ridiculous overhead kick, Noah Okafor continuing his ludicrous late-season run, Karl Darlow's impossible save, and Brenden Aaronson's neck-push red-mist moment.
Then a look ahead to Bournemouth away on Wednesday — the best in-form side in the country, 13 unbeaten, Iraola leaving — before the big one: Chelsea at Wembley in the FA Cup semi-final. No peril, just a free hit and 35,000 Leeds fans descending on London.
Are we safe? Can we finish in the top 10? Is James Justin now worth £50m (according to one brave Leicester fan)?

What a night at the Theatre of Dreams! James, Rocco and Darragh react to Leeds United's historic 3-1 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford — our first league win there since 1981. The lads break down a brave Farke lineup, a Tanaka masterclass, two stunning Okafor finishes, Calvert-Lewin getting his hair pulled (yes, really), and Pascal Struijk and Jaka Bijol bossing the back line.
We dig into Daniel Farke's growing legacy at Elland Road (4th best manager of all time?), why Karl Darlow has made the gloves his own, and how the recruitment team have nailed every signing this season. Plus: relegation maths (we're staying up, calling it now), the Wolves game on Saturday, FA Cup semi-final vs Chelsea at Wembley, and the glorious Scum social media meltdown that's made the last 24 hours even sweeter.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Leeds United are building real momentum and this season suddenly feels very different. After a dramatic late winner against Fulham at Elland Road, Leeds look more organised, more confident and more like a proper Premier League side.
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.
