Summary
Joe Devine, Jon Mackenzie and JJ Bull are here to talk about some football.
Man City have won their fifth title in six seasons. But do the ongoing allegations hanging over them mean that their achievements come with an asterisk?
We also spoke in wider terms about how the elite teams all seem to be in transition except for them boys in sky blue.
In Germany, Borussia Dortmund are in pole position to wrestle the Bundesliga title off Bayern Munich for the first time in 11 years.
We return to England to look at the Premier League’s bottom as the fate of two relegation slots go to the final round of fixtures.
And there’s a lot of nonsense about baths, what percentage of human beings is water and other silly bits.
This episode of the Tifo football podcast is presented by Joe Devine and produced by Steve Hankey.
