| 0:07.2 | Hello, welcome to the Allsena and Chapman podcast on The Athletic. |
| 0:10.7 | As well as David, we're joined as usual by Adam Crafton and also with us today, |
| 0:15.5 | The Athletics Wolves writer Tim Spears. |
| 0:18.6 | Liverpool boss, Eugen Klop yesterday said, it feels like the season was two |
| 0:22.7 | years long. I'm surprised, David, he only went with two years and not four or five. Yeah, I think |
| 0:28.2 | we all feel pretty jaded. And it was largely because season 2019 to 20, virtually ran straight into |
| 0:34.3 | 20 to 21. And with all the restrictions and the lack of crowds for the |
| 0:38.5 | vast majority of the season and a number of issues around football, it's become weary for a |
| 0:46.1 | lot of people, but we've been in an extremely privileged position to be able to report and talk about |
| 0:52.0 | the sport. And it was really refreshing to see fans back in the |
| 0:56.4 | stadium for the final game. I think our colleague James McNicholas said it almost felt |
| 1:00.1 | like the first game of the season. And that hopefully gives us a nice platform to build on for |

| 1:11.8 | Some people, Adam, you know, would argue that they have slightly skewed things, actually, |
| 1:17.7 | depending on the importance of the game. |
| 1:19.6 | Originally, it was just meant to be the final game of the season, wasn't it, that had fans? |
| 1:23.0 | And then the clubs kicked up a bit of a fuss and said, well, it's going to be, you know, |
| 1:26.8 | sporting integrity. If all these clubs get to have, if 10 of the clubs kicked up a bit of a fuss and said, well, it's going to be, you know, sporting integrity. If all these clubs get to have, if 10 of the clubs have a home game and 10 of the clubs don't have a home game. So we ended up having two rounds of fans in the stadium, which was good and it was nice. And it felt like a bit like the country over the past few weeks, just this upwards trajectory towards normality. I agree with what |
| 1:44.8 | David just said about James saying it felt like the start of something rather than the end of |
| 1:49.2 | something. So yeah, no, sort of very happy the season is over from a wearisome point of view, |
| 1:54.7 | but also now very much looking forward to August. Of course, if we're talking about, you know, |
