Summary

Michael Bailey, Joe Bull, and JJ Mackenzie are here to talk about some football.

Arsenal have a lovely day against Fulham on the banks of the Thames with a 3-0 win.

But is Fulham’s sensational season so far starting to come unstuck?

Most of us expected the west London side to be a relegation candidate this year, but they’re not.

Instead West Ham, Leicester City, Crystal Palace, Wolves and Everton are some of the teams in trouble in a way that’s surprising.

AFC Bournemouth were backed to be down in the depths when the season began, but after their 1-0 win over Liverpool and a strong performance against Arsenal; could the Cherries actually ripen in the top tier?

Man Utd drew 0-0 with Southampton over the weekend but tried Jadon Sancho out at number 10, which was very interesting so we spoke about it.

We comprehensively cast our eyes over the last 16 ties for the Champions and Europa Leagues.

Plus, we discover how hard it actually is to read and write everything backwards.

This episode of the Tifo football podcast is presented by Michel Bailey and produced by Steve Hankey.

0:00.0	The Athletic.
0:05.9	Hello and welcome to the TIFO football podcast.
0:10.1	I'm Michael Bailey.
0:11.2	Steve Ancles is trying to tell me I've had too much caffeine in this episode, which again, I find incredibly rude.
0:16.4	I say again because obviously we've recorded the whole podcast and I've got to not say again because that hasn't happened yet. But there you go. Apparently you will soon find out. Through this
0:24.5	wonderful podcast, I was joined by because they're here. Joe Bull. No. And J.J. McKenzie.
0:33.3	Yo.
0:33.9	Not that. Michael's coming hot today. So. Or rich. Yeah, he's running rich. Look forward to, look forward to. You're running a bit rich, I'm running very rich. Yeah. The fallout is going to be horrendous. But none of you will see it. It'll happen on a train back to Norwich. It could be hot. Could be horrible. We didn't just talk about that or that. We spoke about loads of things. They were. Arsenal's relentless march to the Premier League title and the lovely, lovely Leo Trussard. Oh, Leo now. I've embellished it. But again, I've done that. His name is Leo and he dances on the sand. I've done that, you know, retrospectively to the podcast that hasn't happened yet.
1:12.3	It's fine.
1:28.2	The relegation battle. Fulham have had a good season. That's good. Maybe it's going to start to unravel. Maybe not. Maybe they'll qualify for Europe. Who's to say? Jaden Sancho is a number 10 for Manchester United, which was a storming success. Or was it? Maybe it was. Nomineninative determinism.
1:31.5	And how easy it is to say.
1:33.3	Can't I even make my own jokes.
1:34.9	How hard it is to talk backwards.
1:36.2	We should have written that backwards.
1:37.2	Steve.
1:38.4	One for next time.
1:42.2	And an in-depth discussion of the Europa League and Champions League. Really.
1:42.7	I thought we really hit our heights in those two sections.
1:46.8	And just generally some better, Steve is currently trying to write that previous sentence backwards.
1:52.4	It's abusing to watch, but he seems to have now stopped.
1:54.7	It's a shame.
1:55.7	If you want to hear actually in depth, we went through those competitions in real depth, but if you want even more real in depth, How is, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we went through those competitions in real depth.
