| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the TIFO football podcast. I am Joe Devine. I'm here today joined as |
| 0:08.6 | usual by Alex Stewart. Hello Alex. Hello. I don't know if I'm allowed to say as usual. It's |
| 0:13.4 | only our second one back, isn't it? But so far, you're 100% success rate. I mean it's as usual |
| 0:18.5 | given that when we did do the podcast prior to and then during |
| 0:22.0 | the World Cup it was mostly me. That's true. That's true. So we've just sort of gathered the |
| 0:26.7 | hems of time and moved on. It's week two the 10th of December and we are going to talk about two |
| 0:32.8 | different football related things that happened last weekend over the weekend the first will be |
| 0:39.9 | Chelsea Manchester City there's some interesting tactical stuff to explore there the second |
| 0:44.5 | is the appointment of Ralph Hasenhutle we touched on that like no he didn't we |
| 0:48.8 | touched on Mark Hughes last week didn't and then in the days afterwards everything |

Okay, well, we're going to talk about that as well, with the caveat that he hasn't managed since he was at R.B. Leipzig, where he sort of followed Ralph Brannick's philosophy, let's call it, |
| 1:11.5 | and he's only played one game with Southampton so far. |
| 1:15.2 | So we're going to talk about it anyway, because why not? |
| 1:18.3 | Because we're going to speculate wildly about what may or may not happen. |
| 1:22.2 | I think if you listen to the podcast regularly, |
| 1:25.1 | you'll find that we jump the shark here, but we don't on the YouTube channel. |
| 1:28.4 | I don't think it's really jumping the shark. I'm going to jump some sharks. Okay. I'm going to say |
| 1:32.3 | Southampton are going to win the Premier League. Excellent. Yeah. Let's start with Manchester City |
| 1:36.8 | versus Chelsea. I hesitate to call it a surprise result, although it was. I mean, a 2-0 victory. |
| 1:43.1 | It really makes it look like a conclusive win. |
| 1:46.4 | Alex, we were chatting about this outside earlier. |
| 1:48.0 | You made the point that Manchester City had an excellent first half. |
