| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the TIFO football podcast. I'm Joe Devine and today I'm joined by Alex Stewart. |
| 0:10.4 | Hi Alex. Hey Joe, how are you doing? I'm good man. How are you? Oh, you know. Everything's fine. |
| 0:16.0 | We'll be joined by Seb shortly enough. He's delayed, but no worries. We've started without him because he's really not that important anyway. There's lots to discuss today. The Charity Shield occurred over the weekend, of course, which was fun. I was surprised by how much I missed football, even though it had been gone for three weeks, so we'll talk about that. Sebs put all sorts of strange things like Montpellier Marseille in here and Metz-Leal. So, you know, maybe we'll |
| 0:38.5 | get around to that. West Ham, a little bit about West Ham, Barcelona and Juventus. The danger of |
| 0:43.9 | doing an intro at the beginning before we've actually done the thing is we might not talk about |
| 0:48.0 | any of those things. But two things we definitely will talk about, Alex, Messi and Le Carcu. |
| 0:53.2 | And do you know where the best place is to read about Messi and about LeCacarcu, Alex? |
| 0:58.9 | I have a feeling you're going to tell me, Joe. |

| 1:03.0 | If you visit Theathletic.com forward slash Tifo, |
| 1:06.3 | you'll find that for this week only, you can get 50% off an annual subscription to the athletic, |
| 1:11.8 | and I believe that takes us back to the 8P a day times. Is that right? The point is, |
| 1:17.2 | it's about the price of an expensive London cup of coffee for the entire month of exclusive |
| 1:22.7 | access to some of the best football writers in the country. And I tell you what, they really |
| 1:26.7 | come into their own around this time of year, don't they? It's lovely to read all of the best football writers in the country. And I tell you what, they really come into their own around this time of year, don't they? |
| 1:29.5 | It's lovely to read all of the interesting stuff, particularly about Messi and Le Carcourt. |
| 1:34.2 | We'll be talking about that today. |
| 1:36.9 | There's your cue to nod or say something. |
| 1:39.2 | Oh, right. |
| 1:39.9 | Well, I'm very excited that Dan Sheldon and Adam Leventhal have reported the Adam Armstrong, |
| 1:46.1 | potentially, to Southampton move. |
| 1:47.8 | So that's something for me to get stuck into. |
