Summary
JJ Bull, Jon Mackenzie and Seb Stafford-Bloor are here to talk about some football.
Manchester United are looking like they’re starting to dance to Erik Ten Hag’s tune. But will that tune lead towards a title race?
Manchester City might have had a fire lit under them which is both terrifying and quite annoying to be honest.
Chelsea are a work in progress but will they actually allow Graham Potter to progress that work?
And we discuss the VAR errors over the weekend and really try to make it not be boring.
Plus, we look at a Bundesliga that sees Union Berlin back to their pre-World Cup best in the battle with Bayern.
JJ also shoehorns in talking about UFOs, or UAPs I should say, on multiple occasions.
This episode of the Tifo football podcast is presented by JJ Bull and produced by Steve Hankey.

| 1:10.2 | That's very good Since Sacking their former, we talk about Leeds Man United and Ten Hag transitioning the Man United team in at something. Good. We talk about our Man City angry enough to win the whole league. Have they been galvanized by things? It's a good word galvanized. Yeah, I like that, yeah. It's quite nice to say. It makes me sound smart. And we briefly talk on what comics we read as children. We discuss the US military shooting down UFOs over Canadian airspace. That's real news stories. Everyone laughs. And this is the thing about it, right? It's been parroted. People aren't laughing in the story. People laughing at you though. But this is, it's not alien stories. They're not called UFOs anymore. Or UAPs. What does that mean? Unidentified aerial phenomena. Phenomenal. Look at the way his eyes dance when he says phenomena. Why would they not allowed to be called UFOs? I think it's... |
| 2:01.5 | I don't know, but I assumed it's to do with stigmatising. Because people are ridiculed for talking about these things, but it's a good way to... If you want to make people stop talking about it, you make them seem like an idiot. So they're called UAPs now. Something like that. I don't know enough about... side aged pensioners. |
