Summary
JJ Bull, Jon Mackenzie and Reuben Pinder are here to talk about some football.
There was a surfeit of sackings in the Premier League over the weekend, so the boys rake over the coals of Graham Potter’s six months at Chelsea and the four year Brendan Rodgers era at Leicester City.
Manchester City battered Liverpool when it looked like Liverpool might be about to derail The Citizens title bid.
That defeat puts the 2020 Premier League winners in real trouble when it comes to qualifying for the Champions League, with Liverpool behind Brighton and Brentford in the standings as those standings stand.
That race for the Champions League is being led by Newcastle United and Manchester United, with The Magpies overcoming The Red Devils at St James’ Park over the weekend.
And speaking of corvids, we discuss whether a collection of intelligent crows should be allowed to watch a game of football if they had a ticket, as well as some other mad nonsense involving seagulls.
Oh and AC Milan vs Napoli plus Bayern München vs Borussia Dortmund.
This episode of the Tifo football podcast is presented by JJ Bull and produced by Steve Hankey.
