Leeds United at Croke Park! FA Cup QF Preview, DCL England Doubt & Gudmundsson World Cup Bound | Leeds, That! Podcast
Leeds, That! - A Leeds United Fan PodcastShow Notes
Leeds United are heading to Dublin's iconic Croke Park to face Manchester United this summer - and we discuss the incredible historical significance of this fixture for Irish and English football. Plus, we preview Sunday's huge FA Cup quarter-final against West Ham at the London Stadium as Leeds chase a first semi-final since 1987.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin is rated doubtful with a hamstring complaint after his England recall, Gabriel Gudmundsson helped Sweden qualify for the World Cup in dramatic fashion, and we ask whether Spurs are heading for relegation after appointing Roberto De Zerbi as their third manager of the season.
Rocco also tells us about watching Bielsa's murderball at Uruguay training and getting three iconic words from Marcelo himself. All that plus the 419-minute goal drought, team selection debates, and why we'd take the FA Cup over staying up.

More from Leeds, That! - A Leeds United Fan Podcast
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.
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.
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."
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.
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.
