Hello, I'm Joe Devine from the TIFO Football podcast, and I'm here today to introduce Adam Leventol on the Athletics Premier League

Countdown podcast. Adam has been celebrating the return of the 2019-20 season, which is only days away,

by releasing 20 podcasts on the Ornstein and Chapman feed, each one dedicated to a different Premier League team.

That's two podcasts a day, every day up until football returns. Today's episode

is Watford, and Adam is switching role from host to interviewee. We've already released shows

for all the previous teams, so you can catch up with those on this podcast feed or add free

via the athletic app. If you're not already a subscriber, you can sign up right now and get

40% off an annual subscription by going to theathletic.com forward slash Tifo to enjoy the best football writing anywhere.

Adam, of course, also participates on from the rookery end, the Athletics-Watford-specific podcast, which has been running episodes all season and throughout lockdown.

So make sure you check that out and listen back

to some recent special episodes. So without further ado, here's the fantastic Adam Leventhal.

Adam Leventhal, welcome to your own podcast. Thank you very much. It's great to be here. I'm sort of

slightly trepidacious because being an interviewee rather than the interviewer is a little bit more challenging. But if you can go easy on me, then I, I'm sort of slightly trepidacious because being an interviewee rather than the interviewer

is a little bit more challenging. But if you can go easy on me, then I'd be very grateful because

it has been quite an arduous journey getting through all these podcasts. Well, I'm glad this comes right

at the end. So in a way, it's a bit like your Swan song. Let's start with an easy one with that in mind.

You went to a game of football at the weekend.

What on earth was that like?

It was sort of partly soul-destroying, but also quite hardening, if those two things can exist in the same way.

In terms of simple logistics, it was very, very straightforward.

There weren't any sort of crowds to get through.

There wasn't more traffic around Vickridge Road.
