  1. Leeds 1-0 Brighton Reaction: Calvert-Lewin Hero, Farke's Future & West Ham Preview

    5D AGO

    Leeds 1-0 Brighton Reaction: Calvert-Lewin Hero, Farke's Future & West Ham Preview

    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. 🎧 All our links: https://linktr.ee/leedsthat 🌐 Website: https://leedsthat.com 📸 Instagram: https://instagram.com/leedsthatpod 🐦 X / Twitter: https://x.com/leedsthatpod 🎵 TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@leedsthatpod 🔭 Sponsor: Bass & Bligh - the finest optics in all the land https://bassandbligh.com 🎙️ Rocco's Isaac Johnson interview with Leeds Live - go back and listen, it's a timeless piece. 02:00 Only 5 teams have lost fewer than Leeds this season 05:00 Dan James at wingback + the defensive masterclass 09:30 Bornauw - signing of the season 13:30 Karl Darlow - cult hero? 15:00 Gnonto to Freiburg + Darragh's loan idea 21:00 Joe Rodon, Ampadu and the players building this 29:15 Reliving the Calvert-Lewin winner 32:15 The records - latest PL winner since 2001 34:00 Farke's "job done" press conference 41:30 West Ham preview + sending Spurs down 43:30 The Luke Ayling Southampton incident #LUFC #LeedsUnited #LeedsThat #MOT #MarchingOnTogether #LeedsUnitedPodcast #ALAW #PremierLeague #LeedsBrighton #LEEBHA #CalvertLewin #DanielFarke #Gnonto #KarlDarlow #JoeRodon #EthanAmpadu #Bornauw #BrendanAaronson #SeanLongstaff #DanJames #EllandRoad #WestHamLeeds #WHULEE #BassAndBligh Learn more about your ad choices.

    Premier League Survival Secured! Isaac Johnson on Farke, Old Trafford & The Summer Ahead

    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.

    43 POINTS! Leeds 3-1 Burnley Reaction + Spurs Preview

    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. 00:00 Welcome and Bass & Bligh 02:07 Reaction to a beautiful night at Elland Road 06:27 Stach's stunning opener 10:19 DCL's back-heel and Okafor's finish 15:11 Calvert-Lewin appreciation 19:14 The third goal and Farke's "43 points" line 23:23 The watch, Michael Jackson and a full moon 27:01 Struijk's error and the referee debate 30:37 Spurs preview: the injury apocalypse 34:05 Summer ahead and Farke is elite 39:24 Dara's curveball: bring Rutter back 42:11 Final thoughts and sign-off 🔗 All links: https://linktr.ee/leedsthat 🌐 Website: https://leedsthat.com 📸 Instagram: https://instagram.com/leedsthat 🐦 X / Twitter: https://x.com/leedsthat 🎵 TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@leedsthat 📷 Sponsored by Bass & Bligh: https://bassandbligh.com #LUFC #LeedsUnited #LeedsThat #MOT #MarchingOnTogether #LeedsUnitedPodcast #ALAW #Burnley #LeedsBurnley #BURLEE #Tottenham #Spurs #LeedsTottenham #TOTLEE #AntonStach #Stach #CalvertLewin #DCL #Okafor #Bogle #DanielFarke #PremierLeague #PL Learn more about your ad choices.

  4. Wembley Heartbreak & Chelsea's Dark Arts | Leeds 0-1 Chelsea Reaction + Burnley Preview

    Wembley Heartbreak & Chelsea's Dark Arts | Leeds 0-1 Chelsea Reaction + Burnley Preview

    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.

    Wolves 3-0 Reaction + Bournemouth Preview + Chelsea FA Cup Semi Anticipation

    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)?

    Leeds Win at Old Trafford! First League Victory at Man United Since 1981

    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 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. 🎧 Listen on all podcast platforms: https://linktr.ee/leedsthat 🌐 Website: https://leedsthat.com 📸 Instagram: https://instagram.com/leedsthat 🐦 X/Twitter: https://twitter.com/leedsthat 🎵 TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@leedsthat 🤝 Sponsored by Bass & Bligh: https://bassandbligh.com ⏱️ Timestamps: 0:00 - Intro & Bass and Bligh 1:45 - Rocco meets Bielsa at Uruguay training 4:45 - Calvert-Lewin's England recall & missed header 5:55 - DCL hamstring doubt for West Ham 6:05 - Gudmundsson & Sweden qualify for the World Cup 6:38 - Okafor, Dan James & Wales heartbreak 9:11 - Leeds vs Man United at Croke Park 18:33 - The 419-minute goal drought 19:29 - FA Cup vs staying up debate 22:27 - Relegation battle & fixtures breakdown 25:39 - Are Spurs going down? 28:26 - Man United away & Wolves preview 32:02 - Strongest team debate & selection 37:00 - Wrap up #LUFC #LeedsUnited #LeedsThat #FACup #PremierLeague #WestHam #CrokePark #CalvertLewin #Gudmundsson #WorldCup2026 #Bielsa #MOT #WHULEE #MarchingOnTogether #LeedsUnitedPodcast #FACupQuarterFinal #England #Sweden #Relegation #Spurs #DeZerbi #DanJames #EllersRoad #ALAW Learn more about your ad choices.
