What We All Want (WWAW) is a Leeds United podcast founded during the clubs’ drive for promotion to the English Premier League. Recorded jointly in Leeds and Toronto, Canada, of all places. It’s co-hosted by Steve and Dave. Steve, a Leeds native stuck in Toronto, has never lost commitment to his club and has the emotional scars and ex-wives to testify. While Dave is in Leeds drinking as much Tetley Bitter as he can from his huge Leeds United mug while he outgrows his Leeds shirt. They come to the pod out of unconditional love of Leeds United, a fascination with unedited comedic jibe and a desire to make you laugh even when we play crap. Given the mix of backgrounds and their support of home brewed gin and Tetley Bitter, where the conversations will go is anyone's guess. You just need to know that What We All Want is Leeds kicking ass in the top-flight and some other unmentioned teams struggling.

    This week's edition of WWAW is sponsored by Four Seasons Total Landscaping and has the spirit of “Chippa” Masinga and the love of the South Stand, “Pelt-it-Away” Lee Peltier as co-hosts.   There's emotional tears shed as the lads relive historic Leeds games' they wished they'd been at while pondering if it's a coincidence or just funny how 3 of their Top 5 are from 1972. Marcelo Alberto Bielsa Caldera has halftime team talks which are legendary but Don must have had something special when you see what we did to teams in the second half of the games the lads picked.  There's also the first Zoom Edition of Readers Letters as Mick Zooms in from the beach in Cyprus with drink in hand. He promises not to expose himself on Zoom calls and appears to turn down a job offer in Wuhan which he received via a Readers Letters. He's a man in demand. Barnsley's Pochettino!  Enjoy.

    This week's edition of WWAW is sponsored by Morrisons Personal Shoppers all over the world and is the Bonfire Night Edition that has the pleasure of John “I'm-not-a-supermodel' Pearson and Richard “into-the valley' Jobson as hosts.   The lads have insight from a Fly On The Wall in the dressing room at Half Time during the Leicester game. It's a rare look into Bielsa's tactical genius that has caused so many top coaches wax on lyrically about how great he is. And he is. Don't miss it. There's also a review of some CV's submitted for Mick's Resident Reader job if he can't drag himself away from the girls in bikini's in Cyprus and we have our first experience of ‘tech-hacking' as some podcast try's to silence the lads opinions. Not on our shift was heard.  Enjoy.

    This week's What We All Want hosts are Luke “take-a-dive” Varney and the player with the turning speed of the Lusitania, Scott Wootton. The lads discuss whether the King of Corn should have got an MBE when he was handing out Meal Deal Vouchers to the South Stand or was he just a ‘twat' imposing a Pie Tax? They also chat about other gloomy things that made him qualify for abolition of his Corn Monarchy. And it wasn't that long ago. The conversation also takes in dating strategies in the 80's before online dating let us expand our search radius and date someone more than once and some other Fake News stories permeated by Gormless-Gobby-The-Whore. Did he say Bielsa-roid or Hemma-roid Mick is in to read his selected readers letters making sure not to mention his ex-wife's name so she has no rights to any of his fish cake and chips and we get his perspective on the pricing strategies for ‘ladies of the night'. Enjoy.

    This week we're not in costume at Leeds City Varieties Music Hall but we're honoured to have 2 clowns that used to crop up in pub quizzes somewhere in the country at least once a week under the question ‘name a pair of Leeds players who were so bad they didn't score a goal between them in 4 years', Paul ‘The Kit Man' Beesley and Jordan ‘Honest I'm a Footballer' Botaka.  The lads discuss the good old days of home-grown players and the production line of quality players who've come through the ranks at Elland Road. They chat about some who came through and were part of the Revie Regulars as well as players who came through and went plus todays players coming through the ranks who represent the future. They even take it to the limit and mention some WWAW Ex-Hosts which means they've not all been winners. The conversation also leads to suggestions that Cellino had a recruitment strategy that took in pizza makers, gondola drivers and Italian criminals on parole. After looking at the players he brought in, I'm not too sure the lads are wrong. Was Silvestri a vampire with a hate of crosses or was it the fact he just had flour on his gloves. It's all here with the usual crap. Oh except, Well-In-Dowd who had to go to Pizza Express with some young kids. Enjoy.

    Filthy Phil or Kinky Kyle?

    This week's What We All Want guest hosts are Keith ‘PC Plod' Parkinson, a 10yr servant at Elland Road and the ‘1yr Wonder' Mikael Forssell.  The lads discuss what's got us all baffled…….who best represents the modern day football professional, Filthy Phil Foden or Kinky Kyle Walker. It so happens that during the discussion a couple of other contenders come in to play. Who would have thought? The conversation also takes in why a country with 1/6th of the world's population can only look to Michael Chopra as their footballing mentor.  Turns out Michael quite liked a ‘flutter' but did he make it to Paddy Power in time to lay off a bet on him scoring the fastest goal by a substitute in the Premier League in 2006?  We also learn that Well-In-Dowd isn't just a figment of WWAW's imagination, although we were beginning to wonder ourselves. His late show for the show was put down to his IT skills. We can't lie, some think he was sat by his fax machine in his garage while some think his late show might have been due to his Stella consumption. Who cares, it was worth the wait.  Enjoy.

    This week's What We All Want guest hosts are the Majestyk nightclub brawler Michael Duberry and the player who Sniffer Clarke reckoned was a natural goal scorer, Lurpak himself, Aiden Butterworth.  The lads have a good old chat about not-so-cheap holidays in other people's misery and what NOT to do when you're on holiday in Greece with your little sister. A real public service announcement.  They also give notice to all the idiots who said Patrick Bamford wasn't good enough for Premier League football and didn't pick him for their Fantasy Football Team. All you Toss Pots who picked Chris Wood, Nketyiah, Che Adams or Vydra instead. All 4 of them combined have only 5 points more than Paddy.  There's also a serious question raised that needs answering. Has anyone seen Mesut Ozil and Gunnersaurus at the same time? Could the lads be right in believing its the same person!!!!  It's all here along with your usual favourites of Rate Your Hate and Readers Letters, aptly selected and read for your pleasure by the WWAW Resident Reader. Who, by the way, is pushing for a 20-year old research assistant and thinks the Fuck-Up Jar should be contributing to her wages.  Enjoy.

    This weeks' What We All Want guest hosts are the Glaswegian Goal Machine, Derek Parlane and the player who's name was first on the team sheet every week, Tom Lees.  Little did we know though that if you took Derek out of Glasgow he couldn't score with Ronaldo in a nightclub and the manager putting Tom Lees name first on the team sheet every week was the Sunday League pub team manager, Neil Warnock. The boys gives us their thoughts on the Judas players who sold their souls for 30 pieces of silver and the movement at the IFAB to change the rules of the game so you get a free shot from 12 yards if you get the ball inside the 18 yard box.  Its all here along with your usual favourites of Rate Your Hate and Readers Letters, aptly selected and read for your pleasure by the WWAW Resident Reader  Enjoy.

    This weeks' What We All Want guest hosts are Darren Huckerby aka Forrest Gump and Andy O'Brien aka P.J O'Brien, the man responsible for all those shitty fake Irish pubs serving food cooked in burnt fat.  Forrest & PJ introduce us to some podcasts and Youtube shows not worthy of the Leeds association and suggest you get in touch with your MP's to take them off the air as a public service duty.  Sipping on WWAW Home Brewed Gin, they re-visit the run to the chippy on a Friday and give us their wisdom on how there's no need to learn how to spell as long as Graham doesn't mind you calling him Gary. They give their Rate Your Hate Scores to Lyndsey DePaul, who has to be the grandma of Rodrigo DePaul, and jimmy Summerville, who must be the uncle of Crysencio Summerville. They also manage to get Dean Smith in there too because anything Aston Villa should be hated. There's also an interesting, behind the scenes look into the WWAW recruitment strategies and some great readers letters selected and read out by the WWAW Resident Reader. Can you identify the theme? Enjoy.

    If you failed ‘A' level Spanish that's WHAT WE ALL WANT Premier League.  Kicking off a new season after we got What We All Want last season.  The podcast introduces some new signings and brings Sean Gregan and Michael Ricketts back to life as the boys challenge you to understand why so many ex-Liverpool players own the pundit airwaves and Scouse Sports. Why Phil Fodden & Mason Greenwood like grocery shopping at Iceland Supermarkets. And why Kyle Walker is tossing his EUFA Badges.  During this episode the boys also manage to ask if John Stiles was funnier as a Leeds player or stand-up comedian and if the money in the WWAW Fuck-Up Jar can be used for Icelandic Prostitutes.  It's all here as the boys come to terms with Ben White going from a Rolls Royce Centre Back to a Hyundai and dogs being banned in Iceland (the country……not the supermarket).
