Hello and welcome to the TIFO football podcast. I'm Joe Devine and I'm joined in the studio now by John McKenzie.

Hello. And JJ Bull the bullet. Also joining us from Deutschland. Ah, gooden taffordblower.

Wiegates do? Gooden, Herr DeVine. My case is good. Lovely gates. So much to discuss today. Of course, there's the Euros. We'll be touching on that. Podba returning to Juventus. I think we've talked about that before, but maybe we'll get JJ Bulls' comments related to that. I can't wait for those. Matthias DeLichtict there's lots of transfer rumors related to him so we will

discuss a player until recently i was pretty convinced was staying at eugenis clement long lay has joined

tottenham on loan so we can discuss that and harry maguire according to ten hague will retain the

captaincy the small matter of we will discuss that later too. Some things from Europe, including will

Raphina join Barcelona? Uh, player power. Who doesn't love player power? Jack Wilshire retires,

and other things. There we go. So we'll be discussing all of those on today's podcast,

and more, probably not more, because that's quite a lot. But maybe and more.

And if you like and more, you should visit The Athletic, because and more is everywhere on the athletic.

In fact, there's so much that I can't even read it all, which is an upsetting thing, John McKenzie.

It is, yes.

Yes.

There's always more to read on the Athlet athletic. What do you like to read on

the athletic? I like to read Phil Hay's stuff on the athletic, because as you know, I'm a Leeds United

fan. Yes. I enjoy keeping up with the Joneses on the Athletic and the Leeds Joneses in particular.

Sure. They announced a new tactics writer. They announced two new tactics writers, I think, didn't they?

One of them they announced yesterday is Ahmed Walid. I don't know, Ahmed. Have you read his stuff before? I have. I'm a good pal of Ahmed. Oh, are you? I think it's a very good hire. I'm excited. Right. And who was the other one? Liam Tharm. Oh, Liam Tham. that's right, yes. Have you read his work?

I have found another good pal of mine, so yeah.

A couple of good eyes.

Is everyone your friend? Is there a coup? Sounds like there's a Mackenzie cook. I'm tearing it down from the inside. Fine. Well, I think one of my favourite things about the Athletic is the tactics writing. So it's nice that there's additional tactics writing, JJ Bull.

And that means there's even more things that you can't read. Yes. Theathletic.com forward slash tifo. Theathletic.com forward slash Tifo. Eat to your heart's desire in the cafe of football
