We’re all virtually in the room for a pre-season ramble covering Leeds v Man United, the rise of Giant FC, and our incomprehensible striker pronunciation policy. We rate the signings, debate whether Jack Harrison deserves boos or back pats, and try not to cry over Joseph’s tantrum. Plus: formation tweaks, South Stand fury, and why Lucas Perry could throw a kettle of fish over Elland Road. PJ—consider this your warning.

The full team (minus the Ginger Whinger) is almost back as normality resumes — just in time to correct last week’s chaos. With double quiffs on display, the lads cover defensive upgrades, contract renewals, and whether the backline is finally sorted. There’s healthy scepticism over the lack of Premier League experience, plenty of transfer gossip, and a return to everyone’s favourite topic: PSR, now with slightly fewer GCSE-level errors.

Also on the docket: potential midfield and goalkeeper signings, the return (?) of a forgotten winger, and a strong case made for not signing the fat, ugly version of a certain American striker. There’s chat about what Sunderland are up to, whether Leeds have learned from past mistakes, and some bold predictions for title winners and relegation flops.
