Hello and welcome to the TIFO football podcast.

I'm Joe Devine and I'm delighted to be joined today by JJ Ball.

Hello.

John McKenzie.

Hello.

And Abashek Raj.

Hi.

There we go.

What a super crew we've assembled today to talk through various football items.

Here's what's on the docket.

Chelsea, a Chelsea in a title race.

I mean, maybe, I don't know.

They don't seem to think so, but we talk about it.

And I think we agreed that they weren't.

So that's a good section of the podcast there, did that.

We also learned a lot about their finances via Abyshech and some interesting things

about where they rank versus Tottenham. Some surprise, yeah? Stick around for that. Surprise.

Although I've probably given away what the surprise is now by saying surprise over and over again.

Barcelona, top of La Liga, albeit just a little bit. We talk about them. I haven't watched them all seasons. I'm finding out from JJ and John, what's going on there? What's going on with Real Madrid? Athletica Madrid is entering the scene as well. And again, we make use of the fact that Abashagas here. We talk a little bit about their finances. They released a new annual report in October. So we learn what that says about them and plenty of

funny things to hear about Barcelona's finances. As per usual. It's a good level of trolling

in this episode, I would say, you know, or just finding, finding fun and amusement in the

downsides of life.
