Hello everyone and welcome back to a brand new season of T.S.P. It's our 12th season podcasting about Spanish football and

we're kicking off in the best possible fashion by recording a podcast with Sid in his car at Valencia Airport

having flown back from being at Me Yorker yesterday and driving up to Vereal

crazily for tonight's game. So we're starting as we mean to go on

Sid which is great to see. Hello Sydney welcome back.

I can't believe it's 12 years as well. It is a long time. It is a long time speaking

relentlessly about Spanish football, but we love it and we're going to be doing it

Continuously as long as they will let us do it

Now that the Lalega season is underway we're to our regular schedule, which means you can join us here,

every Monday, for free, wherever you get your podcasts. And we'll be on Patreon for the rest of the week,

bringing our patrons, a Q&A pod on Tuesdays a bonus

pod on Thursdays and lots more exclusive content so join us there don't miss

a thing it's only four euros a month. Patreon.com forward slash T.S.P

and we do have lots to get through.

I'm mindful of the fact that you are in a rather hot spot, Sid, in the car park. I'm in a car park, yeah, but I'm in an underground car park,

so at least I'm shaded. I'm not exposed to the most relentless of the Valencia heat.

It's true but you can't put the air conditioning on because that would affect the audio

quality so the longer the longer we record this podcast the more you're going to be

sweating so let's see if we can squeeze out half an hour or so

This is what happened on match day one of the 24-25 season in La League at the first game of the season was at San Mames where

athletic club were held to a one-one draw by a very resilient Hetafé side.

Betty's and Gerona played out a one-one draw as well in Seville. Then on Friday big Jerome, Lass Palmarus and Sevillea Drew 2-2.
