Villa was miserable. Tranmere was delightful. Leeds' senior squad and Under-21s have had contrasting fortunes over the past week. Listen to YEP chief football writer Graham Smyth and journalist Joe Donnohue discuss the key moments from United's Elland Road stalemate and the best bits of the youngsters' eight-goal thriller on the Wirral in the Papa John's.

Those pesky kids

The Inside Elland Road podcast from the Yorkshire Evening Post team covering Leeds United Football Club in 2023/24.

Sports

Here we are then. One final pre-match press conference of the season done and dusted, 50 or so games later and Leeds are in the play-off final. On the cusp of glory or despair. Will Wembley Stadium have sufficient dairy-free options for Graham? Has he submitted his EFL accreditation properly? Answers in this week's podcast, which as you might've guessed, is building up to the Championship's showpiece finale and richest game in football.

The NeverEnding Story

Four goals, a testimonial finish, hearts in mouths, teenage excellence, Game of Thrones backroom staff, one of the loudest stadiums known to man - Leeds United, in all forms, played its part on Thursday night as the Whites booked their place at Wembley in the play-off final. Listen to Graham and Joe's morning-after-the-night-before appraisal. Share and subscribe now.

Leeds United are going to Wembley

It's the play-offs. And Leeds will be without Patrick Bamford for the semis, at least. Fear not, Graham has posted a new personal best 5k time and is available on a short-term contract. This week on the Inside Elland Road pod: a golden bullet, hiding in the music department, popping hernias, a trenchcoat on the right wing and plenty more to distract ourselves from the possible impending doom of play-off football.

Trigger Warning

Automatics are gone, but not quite. It's the play-offs, but not yet. Leeds' capitulation at QPR was disappointing and frustrating, Patrick Bamford was conspicuous by his absence and may not be fit for this weekend in the regular season finale against Southampton. Joe and Graham discuss last Friday night, bruises, band wars, final day chaos and more.

He who laughs last

We've just about calmed down from Monday night at the Riverside in what was an enthralling, nerve-jangling watch as Leeds won 4-3 against Middlesbrough. Graham and Joe discuss the game, getting back to winning ways, Crysencio Summerville's main character energy, the Georginio debate and Willy Gnonto's potty mouth whilst looking ahead to Friday at QPR.
