#LUFC #LeedsUnited
Thanks for the content this season lads, you've all been excellent.
spot on
Yeh brilliant guys 👍🏻
We just wanted that day! Yes the journey would have been better than the destination had we have won.
Likely we would have been losing all games against the greedy six and conceding lots of goals meaning we would be looking to avoid relegation against the likes of Bournemouth and Fulham and Palace and as yesterday proved Leeds are shit in London.
I look forward to the rivalry of Sheff Utd, Sheffield Wed, Boro, Hull, Derby, Wall........making the match day experience much better and no VAR!
Putting some meaning into all of this and what you lads have done over the season we would like to thank you for something that will have gone unnoticed.
Just before Christmas our dad's both took ill on the same day, 15th December ending up in two hospitals 30 miles apart. Every day from then until 1st of March was spent up and down motorways taking our mums to visit our dads. It's emotionally, physically and financially draining.
Both dads passed away within a few weeks of each other and we are still picking up the pieces for our families and will be doing for some time.
The glimmer of hope for us has been the season Leeds has had, despite it ending in failure.
Better than that has been Square Ball. We have climbed into bed of an evening absolutely shattered since our dads took ill and listening to you guys has been our calming anchor.
You have medicined our minds when life for us has been chaotic and you have genuinely provided joy during the darkest days of our lives. THANK YOU!
We wish good fortune but most of all good health to all of you and yours and we look forward to your very special (at least to us) analysis, diagnosis, critiques and general bullshit next season.
Take care everyone ❤️
Well written @jamestaylor. I empathize a lot as my dad has been ill too, my family suffering too, and football, football podcasts included, has been the calming anchor. I'm a huge James Taylor fan btw. (The guitarist and singer) 🙂
I hope for you guys to get Leeds back where they belong next season.
All the best 👋
Thanks you legends for biting the bullet and facing the disappointment head on, and talking about it so soon after the game. It’s often brilliant being a Leeds fan; Elland Road, its history, and the crazy folk who turn up to cheer on the team make it so, but there’s still some right crappy moments, this being one. However, such is life and we go again Leeds! MOT 😊
Fantastic you guys have been all season. Have a good break and we go again in August. More games, no VAR and good chances to win games. Positives.
spot on
I'd like to thank Dan James for turning up, his efforts are appreciated.
We gifted them the goal with schoolboy defending , and never recovered!
The atmosphere at Wembley is fine so long as your team only sing one song. The fans who sit en masse together at Elland Road every week and who start the chants and songs are dispersed at Wembley.
The Championship gave Archie games that the Prem never would and I can only hope that Mateo etc get a chance next season. x
I have to say, Wembley is dreadful. Only the second time I've been there, but the atmosphere was bouncing on the way to the ground and in the concourse - as soon as you get into the seats the atmosphere is sucked out by the dreadful americanisation of the PA - Just STFU and let the fans provide the atmosphere, it's not a f**king disco!
Upset we didn't get promoted, at least we have another season of winning games
spot on
agree completely. not sure I want to go to PL with this team (even if we won as champions), and then win 5 out of 38 :/
Gutted with the result but thanks for the podcast fellas, glad you got Rob and Moscow on for all 4 of your opinions.
Thanks for another excellent year of shows lads, even if this one makes me want to end it all (if only for the audio quality).
Wow studio microphones really make a difference
Absolutely gutted for you lads. Time passes. Hope returns. You will top the league next season. No team will touch you. The 3 coming down are awful. Onwards and upwards..
Gutted for them...FFS...why
Top many ppl like you around areyashore
Sorry guys but we're just not Premiership quality right now
Well wasn’t that just what we all really expected, once again this team fuckin disappoints when it counts.
Worst part was Warnock chirping on about bringing on dan james during the half yime
I can only relate to how Micheal looks on this screen,he defiantly is the most realistic for me & how most feel
Was at wembley next to the Southampton fans up in the gods. The atmosphere was better pre kick off, was rawcus, beer flying everywhere, a luke ayling look a like got the songs going, a steward told someone to get off the shoulders and got covered in beer and abuse. Lol 😂 the stadium lost a lot of the sound, and as you say the crowd had pockets of energy. The nerves of us fans intensified after their goal. Southampton only have one song and its irritating to listen to. Southampton fans giving it the big en and winding us up. Great day out, terrible performance. Fine margins thought the dan James shot that hit the bar went in. So close. Farkes biggest mistake was not bringing the subs on sooner. Joseph looked great and looked dangerous for the kast ten mins and dan james should've been on from kick off. So much time wasting from them, stopped us attacking. This one didnt hurt as much as derby, but still feels disappointing today. Leeds fans were great, pre match was awesome. Need a lot of surgery on the team for next season.
The saints players love each other and work as a team. Not sure it’s the same for Leeds
On telly the Dan James chance was so close, literally inches
Millimeters probably. How that shot bounced out I don't know. I understand your disappointment. Agree that Leeds will make it next year.
@@toveløkkegaard Funnily enough I'm not actually a Leeds fan but have a big soft spot for them. Was very close, convinced it went in and out again
Great content all season. We all deserved better.
VERY fine margins. They caught us for a cheap goal and then that was it. Berlin wall and we just didn't have a Hasslehoff to bring it down.
As always, sign a 10 and a 9 and we'll boss next season, player outgoings granted. James was electric. We didn't have a team until the first international break. Stick with Farke.
we already have a 9 ,farke refuses to use him just like anthony,cresswell,gelhardt and roberts in his half a season
@@lightninggornall Judging by Roberts performance today, with good reason; he was awful!
@@dannybowden5296 that was everyone today, he's been good when he's played
Cheap goal? It was a really smart piece of play. Smallbone did well to spot the run from Armstrong and the patchwork offside line from Leeds. Cleaver little goal and a nice finish too
I'd rather have David Hasselhof as our manager over Farke, at least he talks sense,lol.
Thanks for all your work. Less impressed by Moscow White: in fact I can't take him seriously. He misdiagnosed Bielsa's football style as possession based and now ludicrously sells himself as Farke's PR man. They should both go.
Not surprised it’s in our DNA. Hope we have a clear out and get players who turn up every week.
Atmosphere was shite. Game was shite. We were shite. Third final, I’ve seen and not one fucking goal 😂 here we go again
Fair play for showing up and doing the pod, even though it had a death row vibe at first.
Fecking Leeds - always the hope that kills us, too much pressure for a set of young lads imo. And you can blame that on the management and board - naive.
i really hate the fact that those players who ran off on loan last year get to do it again, was really hoping we would get rid.
Never looked like winning, although the start was lively but once the goal wen in it was just depressing
Cheers fellas. Enjoyed the journey with you this season, but we'reat the road's end. Have a good rest over summer and see you in the new season.
Deep down - We all knew
Thanks lads tough day
Guys as a toon fan one shot on target just isnt good enough.i wanted yous up.but seriousley nothing in final 3rd.good luck next year
This set up reminds me of those police interrogation videos. Any minute now a detective will walk in to carry on questioning them.
If I could say nothing else, Leeds that…
I think most are unsurprised, key players have decided they don't need to play for Leeds since the international break, would be surprised if they were tapped up during that time and deals will be swift, contracts already drawn up, been half out the door come what may. On a positive note, had Leeds been auto promoted, would they then also be looking for a new manager as we see Ipswich and Leicester will be rudderless and scrambling to find someone who can work miracles to stay up. Leeds should be fine this time, new players, and quick out the blocks with a plan
We need a number 9 that is consistent Joel did not turn up today.
We need a coach who is understanding of football tactics.
Way too easy to single out Piroe, where were the crosses and through balls for him ? The service (non) he received today was terrible. As usual completely overplaying in the final 3rd outside the penalty area trying to create the perfect goal.......
@@mjw123I agree with that & James offered us directness & something different , but Joel went missing after the goal, in the system we play we need a pressing forward or at least a foreward who does not drop as deep as he does, the lack of crosses with both Summerville & Gnonto wanting to cut in did not help him, we look a better side with Bamford or Joesph up front to create space for the inverted wingers, so they can cut in & create or score, in our unbeaten run Bamford was the main CF, we should not be still relying on him still.
We also desperately need our CM’s to score goals & create chances.
We achieved 90 points, I had a good day out bar the result, he played much better against Norwich.
@@tonyhirst3628 Farke is better than any other coach, since Bielsa, but he seems to be very predictable, the lack of squad rotation is truly bizarre, I get starting the team that beat Norwich, but he does not seem to do much in game management other than put on more attacking players very late in the Game.
Maybe we were spoiled by Bielsa’s ability to try to change things.
I like Farke but he obviously has flaws but 90 points over the season is a good haul, but he does have weaknesses.
@@mjw123piroe doesn’t move piroe doesn’t hold the ball up piroe is absolutely useless
Saw this coming as predicted Southampton would win the play offs a good while ago and we cannot argue as they have now won all 3 games against us but what was poor was we just created nothing with just 2 notable efforts at goal from Dan James both late on in the game with shots from outside the box, we lost promotion with the pathetic last 6 games of the season losing 4 of those as we went all season not losing at home then somehow losing our last 2 home league games,what timing !
Would have scored a late equaliser if Dan's dad had left early like he usually does. FFS Dan's dad.
Thanks lads. We’ll be there next season!
we played way to narrow...again. Dan James was our best player ( and he only played for 35mins). As you said, we tweak the team and go again next year. Overall feeling Disappointed but it was sort of expected. MOT.
We need a Sammie Szmodics!
Priority is a proper number nine. He would be my first choice.
I have a feeling you might not carry on through another championship season?? I feel like dying
Well that's the bloody playoffs for you should just be top 3 go up. I think even if we loose a few players the 49ers are going to have to really go for it next season and get Farke the players he needs, if you look at the team there are loads of issues that need addressing.
I'm fucking glad the only steaming service showing the game in Australia was down. Saved me the misery of staying up till 2am on a Monday morning.
Who was that at 11mins....like the 5th Beetle
We don’t do playoffs regardless of any fire sale we are in a better place regarding opposition- squad than belisa the key is we hit the ground running unlike last year- we become ruthless against lower teams have midfielders who can score better goalie n set piece coach n if Cree -Willie - Rutter go no problem but let Bamford - firpo go build round Joesph Archie Charlie - if Farke stays hopefully use his subs better the key is who we buy ironically those teams who go up will defo be back down with load of hammerings mot
Moscow giving massive Geography School Teacher vibes with his look
If we can keep most of the first team, we'll win the league next season. Not sure if I'm looking forward to the loanees coming back.
Don’t know why Leeds fans bothered going. So so predictable.
Leeds would actually probably do better with no fans in the ground.
Rutter should've come off early in the second half and Dan should've started over Gnonto. Rutter, Gnonto, Piroe and Bamford as outgoings please
Moscow is bang on use somerville gnonto sale to get a 10 scoring midfielder a striker preferably older than 12 and get a balanced side cos this wasnt
Time for the 49ers to lay some long term ambitious plans. Let's face it, Farke isn't the long term man. They must have ideas beyond that, offer enough incentive and make it happen. We are dealing with Jessie Marsch take 2 with this guy
Good podcast lads in difficult circumstances. Bluntly, we lacked courage in the final third. Paid them too much respect, too many backward passes instead of taking their defenders on. 50/50 in Farke's future but on balance I would stick with him
Been 4 times it nevered had atmosphete
Love it. “we would have won so much better” from the tosser on the left. 😂😂😂
Tough show to do. MOT
Sacka da bald!
I glad I have been vindicated although I take no pleasure in predicting the correct outcome, these are the facts everyone and it's about time everyone connected with Leeds united understands this, this team is *NOT GOOD* enough, its been shown particularly over the last 10 games when we were in pole position to have promotion wrapped up by the end of April! Next *FARKE NEEDS TO GO* (beaten by the same manager three times on the trot!), And I 'am sorry if you all disagree you need your bubble bursting, he made exactly the same mistakes and the same stupid late subs in what must be termed the most critical game of the season of which when the pressure in on we couldn't somehow haul ourselves over the line! I really cannot fathom for the life of me why he thinks a player can score inside of 8-10 minutes when you have had 80 mins prior to make a change when its not working? No one can justify todays performance it was again so poor, their first goal was so predictable! and they should have had a second! The reality is that last years team that was relegated is 2/3rds of last years team that has failed again in a lower league! The players have been built up beyond their technical ability only to see them crash when it mattered! And please do not keep on with the *"90 point" narrative you can keep shinning that trophy* for as long as you wish but it will never change the facts or the fundamental problems that are so obvious in this team and particularly with Farke! All those people who arrogantly state that Leicester, Ipswich and now Southampton will "come back down" are as deluded as the people who back Farke unconditionally, at least they actually achieved promotion unlike this team and the manger!! Time for lots of people in the "media" and supporters to wake up to the glaring facts!
So that's what your heads look like. Well tried Mosco.
Love you guys
Never realized how tiny Michael is
Ah well. No VAR is the silver lining next season.
Southampton really have farkes number. They defended brilliantly. We needed a Pep Barcelona team to break down the wall we faced.
Stilled finnished 4th
49's, get your wallet out. Get the ground improved, buy some new players.
Next season!
I hope this doesn't come across as personal ..... But Gnonto be shit and shame on Farke for not starting James instead.
He can't predict the future. Chances are gnonto was training better. Today was on the players. They didn't turn up at all.
Completely and utterly predictable performance, Farke has no idea.
Let’s never do playoffs or Wembley again. Automatic promotion next season please. And sod the cup runs.
Ampadu
I hate this club
Dan James looked like Maradona compared to the dross out there on both sides
As tough as it is, we go again ALAW
So flat no passion 2 far from pitch
Haven't watched it yet - but 1 issue i have with lot of leeds content is the basic ignorance of Dan James. He's 1 of leeds best players and will always be better than Gnonto......
just no you will see who has a better career, they should of both started , i was sick of gnonto coming off for james or vice versa, why not both at the same time ,gnonto plays 9 or a 10 for italy, piroe is the man who shouldn't start
He is more direct & looked up for it today, Gnotto seemed to be getting fouled a lot particularly in his back, typical Leeds was at the game good day out shut result.
Watching on TV the Southampton fans were making a lot more noise than Leeds
That's just nonsense
That simply wasn't good enough, time for Farke to go, I'm afraid.
Think saints players work for each other. Leeds seem to have individuals that are in it for themselves
49ers have no f’n clue what they are doing.
❤🤍❤️🤍❤️🤍❤️🤍❤️🤍❤️🤍❤️🤍❤️🤍❤️🤍❤️
You all look weird without headphones. I don’t like it. Put your headphones back on please.
The board need a complete and utter clear out ! And get Personnel who really give a FXXK ABOUT THE LUFC LEGACY To take us forward ! . And show respect to the supporters ! Farke off !
Please drop better heslth for next season. Awful exploitatve company.
I've never seen an ad for them on Square Ball, but thanks for the heads up.
@@dannybowden5296 it's on the podcast version loads with Dan doing the ad. Admire the commitment to mental health messaging and the pod has and continues to help me through dark times that are not just LUFC induced. Am sure if they were aware they wouldn't have them as a partner.
Leeds are falling apart again😢
Still it could be worse. At least we won't be getting done by Crawley and Stevenage next season 😜
Total and utter selfish Cxxxs clear the lot out ! And I mean the lot ! All of the Supporters let down yet again and again ! We need a real manager ! Go get the Poch break the bank ! You know he loves LUFC !
I'd love that but you are deluded
Yep, can't listen to this one gents. Another great season of content from you all. I'll be looking forward to the new season soon enough. Ups and downs eh, MOT💛🤍💙
Disappointed but not surprised is the overriding emotion. Derby was heartbreak. But deep down alot of us knew this was coming today. Farkes given us no indication that he was able to tactically outdo Martin.
100% agree spot on
spot on
Mad how fucking blissfully happy and ecstatic we’d be if our lads showed up how they did against Norwich. Instead we’re all moody and utterly disappointed
yeah thats how emotions work mate
spot on
My worry if farke have same game plans with a lesser team next season cant see him doing jack because with team he had and rotation of full squad he not use and no clue how to beat a team using low block and farke no clue unless kitchen sink on farke clueless and no Cresswell and other players used to full potential and this is all on farke and we as leeds fans if can't see his lack of tactics ability then we all delusional
We got 90 points but his lack of use of the squad is truly bizarre at times.
I think he is probably the best manager we can get for where we are unless we go completely left field, but he deserves an other year hopefully with drama at the start of the season.
I can see the faults with his system but all managers have blind spots at this level.
There are better managers in this Division eg Corberan. Edwards (now), Robbins and the new QPR boss. Rosenior's team looked very good. There are pace Moscow good alternatives to Farke.
Southampton have had the drop on us all year. Come back stronger next season Mot.
@thesquareball Great work again all season lads. Take some time off come back stronger next season
No leeds fan honestly believes we win any playoff
I kidded myself 😂
Thanks so much gents - great work with the content for the year. Going to be a very interesting transfer window - hope we manage it well.
Farke got it wrong when it mattered this season… this guy is NOT premier league manager
Great content all year - thanks lads. We will dust our pink kit off, polish our proud peacocks and go again next season.
Guys. Thank you for your videos all season long. They’ve become a staple of my week. This season more than any other before it.
But please, if and when you do Propaganda for this game, leave out the obligatory Leeds bashing/opposition celebration section. I can’t take it and a lot of us can’t this week.
Don’t be masochists.
Cheers lads. Same tedium next year 😅
I’m worried that Farke is not learning from his mistakes. Far too much time wasted passing sideways and backwards. Most of the time it doesn’t result in chances so it doesn’t work. I’m also worried he can’t change games tactically during a game. Seems like a FM pressing space bar or whiz.
Compare Piroe to Armstrong. Armstrong constantly ran in behind and when he got in he shot. Piroe didn’t run in behind (and neither did any other leeds player) and every time we got in (bar James) we decided to pass. It’s goals that win matches!! They only come from shots! I blame Farke and the tactics. We had a team that should have won that match and Farke wasted so much time passing it around in pointless areas of the pitch. No point ‘having control’ at 0-1
Gifted them a goal and barely looked like going forward the games on farke his game management is awful the fact we didn’t get promoted with this squad says it all! He’s got to go for me get him gone
Sad day but good one lads - total professionals. Beautiful shoulder-length hair!
Waiting for the fire sale now 😂
Piroe, Gnonto and Rutter OUT.....they never show up enough!
