They say it’s easy to be wise after the event, but in the aftermath of a high-octane battle measured reasoning is often replaced by a concoction of panic and desperation, which tends to provoke knee-jerk conclusions. Hence, I chose to write these articles pre-game rather than post.

**Recorded before Pascal's Red Card appeal was rejected** Join James and Paul - back fresh from our holidays we catch up on all the latest happenings at Leeds United. There's plenty to mull over with a tough few games - Burnley & Liverpool as well as our first win of the season at home to Crewe. We also discuss the late arrival of Dan James - is it one worth waiting for?

It’s the question everybody seems to ask. Even after our potless, unambitious owner stumped up another £25m for an impact sub, it was the first question he had to answer on Twitter. His answer was Adam Forshaw, and people scoffed or thought he was joking.

Join James, Paul and Rocco as they dissect the day that 36,000 Leeds fans finally got to watch premier league football together at Elland Road for the first time in 17 years. Legal advice was sought on the motorway slip road, the kop has a new catering system but most importantly WE ARE BACK!!!

They were words attributed to the mouth of The Great Man, and they are a perfect fit for the eve of the opening day of a season that we have waited all summer for, or 18 years, depending on the context. It’s also a season that begins with a fixture that is so mouth-watering that it makes you wonder whether it was randomly generated, or the result of an algorithm designed to maximise global interest in the start of the English Premier League. It’s scum away, and I’m excited beyond belief.

Join James and Paul as they try to discuss anything but the opening day of the season against... I can't remember now. They discuss the game, try to make sense of it, and take the positives about returning to games as they look forward to Everton and Crewe. It's going to be fine, isn't it???

Join James and Paul as they cast their untrained eye over the cast of the 2021-22 season of Leeds United vs the world. We have a speculate on who might be added in the coming weeks, get a bit excited about the low-key season opener and predict where we will end up in May. The mighty whites are back!
