Summary
Joe Devine, JJ Bull and Jon Mackenzie are here to talk about some football.
Arsenal continued their best ever start to a top flight season with a 3-2 win over Manchester United.
But are Mikel Arteta's touchline antics a marginal gain or a sign of the moral failure of the entire football club?
Chelsea versus Liverpool was not that interesting. So instead we spoke about Chelsea's new lengthy contracts.
Are they an unusual outlier or a presage of things to come?
We move on to a win for West Ham in Frank Lampard's last game as Everton manager.
Did we record before he was sacked? Of course we did.
There was also an inexplicable amount of discussion about cows in this episode.
The Tifo football podcast is presented by Joe Devine and produced by Steve Hankey.

| 0:02.7 | Hello and welcome to the TIFO football podcast. |
| 0:09.0 | I'm Joe Devine and I'm delighted to be joined today by Jonathan Dogg McKenzie. |
| 0:14.1 | Hi John. |
| 0:14.7 | Hello. |
| 0:15.3 | How you doing? |
| 0:16.1 | Very well, thank you. |
| 0:17.0 | Well, you're sat next to the talented and virile J.J. Bull the Bullard. Yes. Yes. How are you? Virile. You are virile. Now, listen, we were supposed to be joined by Sebastian Stafford Bloor today. The hair doctor, of course, is in Germany and unavailable due to various technical issues. So this episode, a lot more fun than usual. Is that fair? No, bless him, he sat around for 20 |
| 0:40.9 | minutes waiting for us to sort our shit out and in the end we just sent him away again. But listen, |
| 0:46.4 | he sends his love and he'll be back soon, hopefully. For the time being, though, we will tell you all |
| 0:51.2 | about what's coming up in the show today. Now, what is in the show today? Arsenal versus Manchester United, big game. One of the big games of the season. We spend an awful lot of time, too long, in fact, talking about that. That's going to be fun. Chelsea's long contracts. Does that sound interesting to you? No? Well, stop listening before that bit. West Ham and David |
| 1:11.6 | Moyes. JJ talks about that a little bit later. And of course, Everton and Frank Lumpard. |
| 1:17.0 | We record this on a Monday. We know nothing. We actually, I actually don't know. I'm just saying |
| 1:22.7 | that because sometimes what happens around February, January, March time is we spend an awful lot of time discussing someone on a Monday recording and by the time the gosh-down podcast comes out on a Tuesday, that fella's gone! Far more as well. A bit about cows in there, JJ. They talked a lot about cows. We did, a regular theme of the the show. I revealed my true accent. That's true. |
| 1:45.2 | You did do that, didn't you? Yeah. What else happened, John? We doxed David Moyes. We doxed David Moyes. |
| 1:50.1 | That bit was cut out. And of course, also, you revealed your absolute intense hatred for Casamiro. |
| 1:58.1 | Yes. Remember that bit? Yes. |
| 2:01.1 | Yeah. |
| 1:57.9 | Me and John disagreed. You did disagree. Oh, that's true. Think of the conflict. It's what you need for good drama. Imagine that. Imagine that. Now, listen, if you like conflict and good drama, then you should get Paramount Plus. Very good, actually. I've been watching... Watch Top Gun. Been watching Yellowstone. It's quite enjoyable. |
| 1:59.2 | TopCon is so good though, isn't it? |
| 2:18.0 | It does feel weird paying for a streaming service. Mount Plus. Very good actually. Watched Top Gun. Been watching Yellowstone. Yeah. It's quite enjoyable. |
