Leeds United travel to Crystal Palace for a huge game. West Ham and Spurs have very difficult matches. Forest have a quite winnable one. Could be a pivotal one. Follow us on Twitter @mightywhitespod and visit mightywhitespodcast.com.
James and Rocco are back after a break from the mic - and there's plenty to unpack. Leeds United have two back-to-back league defeats, Farke's red card and that brilliant press conference, Sunderland's masterclass in anti-football (50 minutes of actual play out of 106 allocated - the stats don't lie), the Ramadan booing controversy and the media's lazy take on it, plus that glorious FA Cup night against Norwich. Sean Longstaff, where did THAT volley come from? We look ahead to Crystal Palace away with Farke back on the touchline, the Brentford night game, and an FA Cup quarter-final trip to West Ham. The Opta supercomputer gives Leeds an 8% chance of going down - but does it know our history? Plus: Ampadu's wobble, Buonanotte's bench life, Archie Gray being the only Spur who cares, and Scubala taking Lincoln City to the top of League One. Dara's away this week so normal service is suspended. No order. No structure.

Anton Stach scores a 35-yard free-kick stunner - his third of the season - but Tammy Abraham's 88th-minute equaliser denies Leeds all three points at Villa Park. We react to Aston Villa 1-1 Leeds United, discuss Karl Darlow's incredible triple save, Farke's counter-attacking masterclass with just 33% possession, and ask whether two points were dropped or one gained. Plus, we preview Saturday's huge clash against Man City at Elland Road (5:30pm, Sky Sports). City are on a five-game winning streak and chasing Arsenal for the title - but Leeds showed in the 3-2 reverse fixture they can compete. Can Elland Road under the lights make the difference? We discuss team news, Stach's fitness, the goalkeeper dilemma and how to stop Erling Haaland. Leeds sit 15th with 31 points, six clear of the drop zone, with a massive run of home games coming up. Marching On Together.
A 1-1 draw at Villa Park. Would have all taken it before kick off. However, another late equaliser is frustrating. Follow us on Twitter @mightywhitespod and visit mightywhitespodcast.com.

Leeds United bounce back from the Arsenal humiliation with a dominant 3-1 win over Nottingham Forest at Elland Road. James, Dara and Rocco react to Ilia Gruev's record-breaking two-assist masterclass, Farke's tactical homework targeting Forest's makeshift defence, DCL hitting double figures (and kicking Gruev in the face), Okafor ending his drought, Pizza Crouch's debut header, Buonanotte's squad omission, and Leeds moving level on points with a spiralling Spurs. Nine points clear of the drop. Friday night fortress intact.

Leeds United produced a good performance to win 3-1 at home to Nottingham Forest. West Ham’s win meant the gap didn’t extend. Chelsea away next is a scarier prospect. Follow us on Twitter @mightywhitespod and visit mightywhitespodcast.com.
Leeds, as expected by most, didn’t act late in the transfer window. Will it result in relegation? Follow us on Twitter @mightywhitespod and visit mightywhitespodcast.com.
A bruising 4-0 home defeat to Arsenal and we're not holding back. Darragh climbed off his sick bed to deliver a passionate verdict on Daniel Farke's team selection — why was Gruev starting ahead of Longstaff against the best set-piece team in the country? Why Justin at centre-back instead of Bornauw? And why is 70 minutes always the magic number for subs? We debate whether Farke is reverting to old habits that could cost Leeds dearly. The silver lining? West Ham's spectacular collapse against Chelsea — 2-0 up at half-time, missed two more golden chances, and somehow lost 3-2 with Todibo sent off. Twitter was a wonderful place afterwards. We look ahead to Friday night's huge clash with Nottingham Forest at Elland Road. Neco Williams is banned after his heroic/idiotic handball on the line, but Sean Dyche has them well organised and unbeaten in four. Can Farke get the selection right this time? Plus - do we need a goalkeeper more than a striker? Harry Gray scores two belters for Rotherham, Erling Haaland gives the Leeds salute to Galatasaray fans (Dara's written him a song), and the worst foul throws in Premier League history.
Leeds got a 1-1 draw at Everton, which sounds like a good point but felt a bit disappointing on the night. Arsenal visit Elland Road next, from which anything would be a bonus. Follow us on Twitter @mightywhitespod and visit … Continued
