Dan, Michael & Rob seem decent people, I've said hello to Dan & Michael at games in the past.

Mustafaster & Dirty Leeds use to be on the other big forum, some rave about. A site I steer well clear of apart from pming two or three good people I know on there.

Just tagged you there, a team photo posted by blackwellant on random musings (a very safe thread, which covers everything from football to music and other wierd and wonderful stuff) ..The old Typhoo team photo you got when you'd collected so many packets of typhoo tea

These channels/podcasts can be good to have on in the background, but I find that I often quickly become bored or irritated by them and turn them off. I can't stand egotistical know-alls and most of it is negative, over-dramatic clickbait stuff in which somebody who can probably barely kick a ball lays into a certain player because everybody else does. I think the negativity can be damaging to the players mentally and creates a negative aura around the club. You may say that they're high-paid professionals and should be able to cope with it, but they're just people like you and me, and anyway, I just find it annoying.

Is it? Freddy isn't exactly a bundle of fun, going from his recent posts.

The Square Ball four are well-educated, humorous, informative & are fun to listen to, as opposed to the other serious/downbeat podcasters. Two of them, Dan & Michael have worked in the media on radio & ITV. Season-ticket holders & Leeds fans through & through, not those types who have jumped on the Leeds United bandwagon.

He wouldn't have, Sara.

Just generalizing, all the bloggers are the same, some of us know TSB are a cut above the rest.

Re: The Square Ball/The Debrief - Whinging Wolves fans & the bias commentator. BRILLIANT from TSB as ever!

Post by Carrick Dave »

The Square Ball is a hoot, an opportunity to enjoy true Leeds fans taking the piss out of each other ( jointly & severally), the club (players, management and ownership), the football establishment, opposition fans and the world in general with a subtlety and dry wit that Jack Dee would be proud of.

They also beat the drum for Leeds United week in week out and have done for 20 years plus I believe ( I’m a recent follower of 2/3 years). Their knowledge of the club is encyclopaedic, and they research their output scrupulously.

Most importantly, they don’t take themselves too seriously.

What is there for Freddy to like?
