Hello and welcome to the TIFO football podcast. I'm Joe Devine and I'm joined now by Alex Stewart.

Hello Joe.

Seb's effort at Bloor. Morning, Joe. Morning. Game relevant still today. We will be discussing things that have come from games that are relevant to the time now. The games include such games as Manchester United West Ham.

I believe that was the order.

I think it was.

I don't know where they were.

And also Everton versus Blanking, blanking, blanking, blanking, blanking.

It's not hot now.

Tottenham.

The Totters, the Spurs.

We talk all about the Totters and the Spurs and the Everton's, and we talk about Manchester United and West Ham, specifically. Donnie van der Baik. We talk about Racharlison. We talk about subs being subbed. We talk about my fear of chewing gum. We talk about Lester. Actually, we don't talk about Lester, but we promise to talk about Lester next time. And we revisit the stats and facts database, which is a very exciting time for all of us.

But before we get started, let me remind you that if you enjoy football and if you want to have

something to fill your life with, then you should find The Athletic at a seven-day free trial. If you visit Theathletic.com

forward slash TIFO, you can get that seven-day free trial, and you could use it to read,

for example, Jack Pitt Brook talking about Marino Spurs. Also, he did it with Mark Carey,

he's one of the new data writers who works here.

And they did an interesting comparison of Marino to Potitino's last few years.

It was really useful for me in my research for what turned out to be not for this podcast,

because we ended up not really talking about it.

But also, there's Paddy Boyland, who I'm sure will have written something about Richarlison

before, David Ornstein, whose column I read every Monday and get excited about things that are

happening in the news. And generally just a host of excellent journalists who are all doing good
