My name's Sharzad Kiade. I'm a Gemini Pescatarian, a mom of two wild little boys. I'm Susan Yara. I'm a mom of two also. This morning, I went to the bathroom alone. I woke up at five, put my boob in her mouth, and then she took a dump because that's what she uses me for. That's what you're going to hear a lot of our stories and experiences and our crazy journeys to motherhood. It's fam for all

Hello. Welcome to the TIFO football podcast. I'm Joe Devine, your glorious host, and I'm joined today by Alex Stewart as usual. Hello, Alex. Hello. How are you?

0:42.7

Ah, fine. Great. Let's talk about football then. We will begin by talking about all of the football. Oh, okay. There were obviously some very important fixtures over the weekend. Not to mention Liverpool, Manchester United. It was a bigger game of football. The most exciting

1:00.0

one, of course, was Southampton Arsenal. I think we should start with that. So today's

1:03.9

podcast is going to take two halves. The first is getting excited about Ralph Hasenhutl, which is

1:08.5

a bit what we did last week. We're going to do it again, but with more information. The second half of the podcast, we're going to talk about a theme that

1:15.1

we've been exploring over the last few weeks. The theme is, I can't be concise or pithy,

1:22.1

so I'm going to say in too many words, the theme is sort of tactical identity of coaches,

1:26.8

long-term projects, short-term managers,

1:29.6

big five, four, six clubs. And we're going to sort of compare them. So if you have seen,

1:34.8

you may not have, but if you have seen, we made a video a couple of weeks ago about what would

1:39.1

happen if Mauritio Pocitino were to take over at Manchester United. And the opening

1:43.6

couple of paragraphs

1:44.8

of that video talked about the idea that of the top six, Marino is really the only coach left

1:51.4

that doesn't seem to have a particularly clear tactical philosophy, maybe that's unfair,

1:57.1

or maybe what he has is a clear tactical philosophy that nobody likes.

1:58.4

So maybe that's what it is. It's of yesteryear. It's of old. Time's gone by. It doesn't make any more sense, Alex. It doesn't make any more sense. The rest of the big clubs have either recruited coaches recently or Pashtina himself, who is now the longest running top six coach currently. They all seem to have ideas. They're heading places. and the standings of the league this season would seem to support that idea as well. So that would be the second half of the podcast. Nevertheless, let's begin with Southampton and Harsen Hortel at St. Mary's. Was it? Yes, it was. How very exciting was that? Here's the first question, right?

2:34.8

Were you excited?

2:35.8

I was excited.

2:38.1

Alex is a Southampton fan, by the way.
