    STACH DOES IT AGAIN | Forest 0-1 Leeds Reaction + Brentford Preview

    Anton Stach curls in an 88th minute free kick at the City Ground and Leeds start the season with three points, a clean sheet, and their first top-flight win at Forest since 1971/72. We get into the goal, the three debutants, and whether Farke actually planned to win it from a set piece. Plus: does a tennis background make you a better free kick taker? Stach's dad is the voice of tennis in Germany and once told his own son to stop embarrassing him live on air. Then it's back to Nottingham on Tuesday for the cup, and a look at Brentford, who put four goals' worth of chances past Spurs and are coming to Elland Road. Elsewhere: Hull turn over Man United, Spurs spend £228m and lose 3-0, and Sandro Tonali finds row Z. 00:11 Introduction and Season Optimism 02:55 Player Performances and Debuts 05:52 Managerial Insights and Team Dynamics 08:57 Expectations for the Season Ahead 11:32 Match Analysis and Key Moments 14:19 Free Kick Techniques and Player Skills 21:46 Contract Negotiations and Managerial Stability 28:16 Transfer Market Insights and Player Performance 31:17 Referee Decisions and Match Analysis 35:08 Upcoming Matches and Team Dynamics 37:19 Player Contracts and Future Prospects Cameras, lenses and optics by Bass & Bligh, Harrogate: https://bassandbligh.com Join us: https://leedsthat.com #LUFC #LeedsUnited #PremierLeague #epl #forest #brentford Learn more about your ad choices.

    Are Leeds Actually Ready? Trafford, Farke & Elland Road latest

    Leeds United beat RB Leipzig 2-0 at Elland Road, or 1-0 twice depending on who you ask, and Croke Park is next. James, Darragha and Rocco are live to go through all of it. Joe Rodon turned into a right winger, Tarik Muharemovic looked every bit the Rolls-Royce defender Daniel Farke called him, and Alex Cairns played all 120 minutes for a clean sheet while getting serenaded as England's number one. Meanwhile Joel Piroe didn't get a single minute out of 120, which tells you everything about where he sits. We also get into the club record signing of James Trafford, Karl Darlow's move to Manchester United, why Farke's new contract still hasn't been announced, the unfinished dugouts at Elland Road with two weeks until the season, the new Fan Park plans, the 80% away attendance rule and Wednesday night at Croke Park.

    New Kit, Ampadu Stays & Marathe's Master Plan | Leeds United Summer Transfer Talk | Leeds That! Podcast

    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.

    Leeds United 2025/26 End of Season Awards | Goal, Signing & Player of the Year

    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.

    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.

    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.
