Set Piece FC? | Leeds 1-1 Man United Reaction + Sunderland Preview
2026/10/19
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.

Men Against Men | Arsenal 2-1 Leeds Reaction + Man United Preview
2026/10/12
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?

Slow In The Head Leeds 0-0 Crystal Palace Reaction, Five Games Unbeaten & Arsenal Away Preview
2026/09/21
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.

Justice for DCL! | Leeds 4-1 Newcastle Reaction: Calvert-Lewin Brace, Third in the Table & Palace
2026/09/17
We discuss a statement night under the Elland Road lights, as Leeds United blew Newcastle away 4-1 on Monday Night Football to stay unbeaten and climb to third in the Premier League. Three goals in 14 first-half minutes, a Dominic Calvert-Lewin double, and Matthias Jaissle's first defeat as Newcastle boss.
In this episode we unpack a relentless first half: Ao Tanaka's deflected opener, Dominic Calvert-Lewin bullying Sven Botman all night, and Noah Okafor's cool finish to make it four. James Justin's cross for the second deserves its own segment. Eight points from four games. Only Arsenal and Man City above us.
We get into the goal that launched a thousand memes. Calvert-Lewin's header was first credited to Jayden Bogle, Bogle said it never touched him, DCL called it "scandalous" and Leeds appealed. Now the Premier League appeals panel has given the goal back to DCL, taking him to three for the season. James Justin picks up the assist, and 2.3 million FPL managers are left fuming about their missing two points. Justice served. Plus the first-minute penalty shout that the ref and VAR waved away, and why Keith Hackett thinks we were robbed.
Gudmundsson's cramp scare. Trafford barely troubled. Toure's late consolation. Is this the best Leeds performance of the Farke era in the Premier League?
Then we look ahead to Sunday, as a battered Crystal Palace come to Elland Road. Pierre Sage's side have lost three of four, play in the Europa League on Thursday, and are without Mateta, Henderson and Disasi.

UNBEATEN! Leeds Start Fast + The Full Window Debrief with Leeds Live's Isaac Johnson
2026/09/07
Rocco is joined by Isaac Johnson of Leeds Live to look back on a tidy start to the season and a summer window Isaac reckons is near perfect.
Three games in and Leeds are unbeaten. A smash-and-grab winner at Forest, a competent cup win back at the City Ground, then two draws that would very likely have been defeats last season. The lads dig into what has actually changed: a bolder set-up, more street-wise-ness, and the fact Leeds were one of only nine clubs in the league to keep their manager over the summer.
Then the window. How Leeds beat off interest to sign James Trafford, and why his arrival plus Ethan Ampadu's early contract sends a message to every other target. Tarik Muharemović settling in like he has been here for years at 23. Nico Elvedi, Jaka Bijol and the selection headache in the back three. Why the Rodon injury might be the only reason Melvin Bard is a Leeds player at all. Michael Zetterer as possibly the best backup keeper in the division. And the deadline day pivot to Jean-Mattéo Bahoya after the Chelsea deal fell apart, plus why Julian Brandt was never quite convinced.
Plus: the one position Isaac still worries about, the Chelsea cup tie, Newcastle under the lights at Elland Road, the away draw curse, and how the West Stand build is changing matchday.
Isaac writes for Leeds Live and his free Marching On newsletter is out every Friday on Substack, just past 1,000 subscribers. Follow him at @IsaacJohnsonLL.

STACH DOES IT AGAIN | Forest 0-1 Leeds Reaction + Brentford Preview
2026/08/24
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.

Are Leeds Actually Ready? Trafford, Farke & Elland Road latest
2026/08/10
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
2026/06/15
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
2026/05/28
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
2026/05/19
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.

Premier League Survival Secured! Isaac Johnson on Farke, Old Trafford & The Summer Ahead
2026/05/14
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
2026/05/04
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.

Wembley Heartbreak & Chelsea's Dark Arts | Leeds 0-1 Chelsea Reaction + Burnley Preview
2026/04/28
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.

Wolves 3-0 Reaction + Bournemouth Preview + Chelsea FA Cup Semi Anticipation
2026/04/21
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
2026/04/15
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.
MOT! 💙💛
