FootballTalk - Hull realise dream, what next for Leeds & England World Cup hopes

THE go-to football show that covers ALL of Yorkshire’s Premier League and EFL clubs - Leeds United, Hull City, Middlesbrough, Sheffield United, Sheffield Wednesday, Barnsley, Bradford City, Doncaster Rovers, Huddersfield Town, Rotherham United and Harrogate Town.

On this week’s show, The YP’s chief football writer Stuart Rayner joins host Mark Singleton to reflect on the all-Yorkshire Championship play-off final between Hull City and Middlesbrough at Wembley last Saturday – a game that was settled by a late Oli McBurnie goal which took the Tigers back to the Premier League for the first time since 2017.

Leeds United lost their final game of the Premier League season when going down 3-0 at West Ham United who, despite the win, were still relegated to the Championship. But the loss does not detract from what has been a positive return to the top-flight for Leeds under Daniel Farke – who was able to keep a promoted side in the division for the first time in his coaching career.

The panel reflect on the highs of the 2025-26 campaign for the Whites and what they need to do during the coming summer months to ensure they strengthen their position.

What was for some people a ‘controversial’ England World Cup squad selection by Thomas Tuchel also comes under the spotlight, as does Oli McBurnie’s omission from the Scotland squad despite a memorable season with Hull in the Championship. Anton Stach’s failure to make the cut for the Germany squad is also discussed.
