The Athletic

Hello and welcome to the TIFO football podcast. I'm JJ Bull. Joe Devine is on holiday, I think. And I am joined today in the studio by none other than John Dog Dog Dog Dogg, Doggy Dog Dog Dog Dog Boy, Dog, Dog, Dog, Joe Lexington, Dog, John McKenzie. Hello, don't you think dog dog dog dog dog dog joe likes to say dog john mackenzie

hello don't you think the word dog is really funny i think we should always say dog after

everything it my go-to-word is dog yeah goaten tag it is a good morning to you sepstafford blower

guzonak matag hairball it's actually afternoon j-tg yeah oh yes it is afternoon. So joining us from Germany, of course. That's what he does. We're also joined by a special guest, Amatai Winehouse. Now, can you confirm Amatown that we've never met before? I can not confirm that. Yeah, that's true. It's quite scary being billed as a special guest, though. I feel like I've got to live up to something now.

You do. The podcast is finally getting amortized. That's a joke about football finance. Amatai, of course. A very talented journalist. I'll see some amazing things about Amitai. I know you from my time at Telegraph. Yeah, I feel like I've known you since I've basically started working as a journalist. So I've taught you everything you know.

Let's go with that for now.

And then when I do badly on this, you can step away from that claim. That's why Amatai is so good. Very important to how things run at the athletic. Amatai Winehouse. A Leeds fan. A Leeds fan. I love a Leeds fan. So we are dominating the procedures. I've already spent too long talking about the people on the podcast, not what we're going to talk about. We're going to talk about the football. It was amazing this weekend. Chelsea Spurs, oh, that was good. Oh, some things as well. We did all Brentford and Man United, all that sort of stuff. But do you know what? The best place to read all the things about that would be the place that we all are employed by, The Athletic.

And if you would like to support our continued employment, you should subscribe to The Athletic

at Theathletic.com forward slash Tifo. And then you will get an offer, the likes of which you can't believe how good they offer is.

And you can read such things.

As Seb, what's the last thing you read that you really liked on the athletic?

I read a Sarah Shepard column about the size of centrebacks,

which felt very very pertinent, given some of the Lesandro Martinez stuff over the weekend.

Yes.

Could not remit recommend it higher.

Excellent.

A remake it too is really, really remarkable.

Yeah, I've been following all the Man United fallout has been excellent.

Barcelona signing players than not.

Oh, my word.

Anyway, loads of great things on the athletic.
